1 “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you!
1 LEVÁNTATE, resplandece; que ha venido tu lumbre, y la gloria de Jehová ha nacido sobre ti.
2 For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
2 Porque he aquí que tinieblas cubrirán la tierra, y oscuridad los pueblos: mas sobre ti nacerá Jehová, y sobre ti será vista su gloria.
3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
3 Y andarán las gentes á tu luz, y los reyes al resplandor de tu nacimiento.
4 “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together. They come to you. Your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried in arms.
4 Alza tus ojos en derredor, y mira: todos estos se han juntado, vinieron á ti: tus hijos vendrán de lejos, y tus hijas sobre el lado serán criadas.
5 Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you. The wealth of the nations will come to you.
5 Entonces verás y resplandecerás; y se maravillará y ensanchará tu corazón, que se haya vuelto á ti la multitud de la mar, [y] la fortaleza de las gentes haya venido á ti.
6 A multitude of camels will cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah. All from Sheba will come. They will bring gold and frankincense, and will proclaim the praises of the LORD.
6 Multitud de camellos te cubrirá, dromedarios de Madián y de Epha; vendrán todos los de Seba; traerán oro é incienso, y publicarán alabanzas de Jehová.
7 All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you. The rams of Nebaioth will serve you. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar; and I will beautify my glorious house.
7 Todo el ganado de Cedar será juntado para ti: carneros de Nebayoth te serán servidos: serán ofrecidos con agrado sobre mi altar, y glorificaré la casa de mi gloria.
8 “Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
8 ¿Quiénes son estos que vuelan como nubes, y como palomas á sus ventanas?
9 Surely the islands will wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
9 Ciertamente á mí esperarán las islas, y las naves de Tarsis desde el principio, para traer tus hijos de lejos, su plata y su oro con ellos, al nombre de Jehová tu Dios, y al Santo de Israel, que te ha glorificado.
10 “Foreigners will build up your walls, and their kings will serve you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favour I have had mercy on you.
10 Y los hijos de los extranjeros edificarán tus muros, y sus reyes te servirán; porque en mi ira te herí, mas en mi buena voluntad tendré de ti misericordia.
11 Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
11 Tus puertas estarán de continuo abiertas; no se cerrarán de día ni de noche; para que sea traída á ti fortaleza de gentes, y sus reyes conducidos.
12 For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
12 Porque la gente ó el reino que no te sirviere, perecerá; y del todo serán asoladas.
13 “The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
13 La gloria del Líbano vendrá á ti, hayas, pinos, y bojes juntamente, para decorar el lugar de mi santuario; y yo honraré el lugar de mis pies.
14 The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you; and all those who despised you will bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. They will call you the LORD’s City, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
14 Y vendrán á ti humillados los hijos de los que te afligieron, y á las pisadas de tus pies se encorvarán todos los que te escarnecían, y llamarte han Ciudad de Jehová, Sión del Santo de Israel.
15 “Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
15 En lugar de que has sido desechada y aborrecida, y que no había quien por ti pasase, ponerte he en gloria perpetua, gozo de generación y generación.
16 You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse from royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Saviour, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
16 Y mamarás la leche de las gentes, el pecho de los reyes mamarás; y conocerás que yo Jehová soy el Salvador tuyo, y Redentor tuyo, el Fuerte de Jacob.
17 For bronze I will bring gold; for iron I will bring silver; for wood, bronze, and for stones, iron. I will also make peace your governor, and righteousness your ruler.
17 En vez de cobre traeré oro, y por hierro plata, y por madera metal, y en lugar de piedras hierro; y pondré paz [por] tu tributo, y justicia [por] tus exactores.
18 Violence shall no more be heard in your land, nor desolation or destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
18 Nunca más se oirá en tu tierra violencia, destrucción ni quebrantamiento en tus términos; mas á tus muros llamarás Salud, y á tus puertas Alabanza.
19 The sun will be no more your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
19 El sol nunca más te servirá de luz para el día, ni el resplandor de la luna te alumbrará; sino que Jehová te será por luz perpetua, y el Dios tuyo por tu gloria.
20 Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.
20 No se pondrá jamás tu sol, ni menguará tu luna: porque te será Jehová por luz perpetua, y los días de tu luto serán acabados.
21 Then your people will all be righteous. They will inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
21 Y tu pueblo, todos ellos serán justos, para siempre heredarán la tierra; renuevos de mi plantío, obra de mis manos, para glorificarme.
22 The little one will become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, the LORD, will do this quickly in its time.”
22 El pequeño será por mil, el menor, por gente fuerte. Yo Jehová á su tiempo haré que esto sea presto.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And within a little while ye shall hear that excellent lesson which says, Shine, shine, O thou new Jerusalem; for thy light is come.
