1 “Qawam (rise up), awar (light); for your awar (light) bawaa (come) come, and the kabawad (glory) of Yahawah () is zarach (risen) on you.

2 For, behold, chashak (darkness) shall kasah (cover) the aratz (Earth/land), and irapal (gross) darkness the laamayam (peoples); but Yahawah () will arise on you, and his kabawad (glory) shall be raah (see) on you.

3 Gawayam (heathen) shall halak (move) to your awar (light), and malakayam (kings) to the nagah (brightness) of your zarach (rising).

4 “Nashaa (lift) up your iyan (eye) all around, and raah (see / saw): they all qabatz (gather) themselves together, they bawaa (bring) to you; your ban (son) shall bawaa (bring) from rachawaq (far), and your banath (daughter) shall be carried in the arms.

5 Then you shall raah (see / saw) and be radiant, and your labab (heart) shall thrill and be enlarged; because the hamawan (abundance) of the yam (sea/waters) shall be hapak (turned) to you, the wealth of the gawayam (heathen) shall bawaa (bring) to you.

6 The shapaih (multitude) of gamalayam (camels) shall kasah (cover) you, the bakaray (dromedaries) of Madayan (Midian) and Iyapah (Ephah); all they from Shabaa (Sheba) shall bawaa (come); they shall nashaa (lift) zahab (gold) and labawanah (frankincense), and shall proclaim the thahalath (praises) of Yahawah ().

7 All the tzaan (flocks) of Qadar (Kedar) shall be qabatz (gathered) together to you, the ayalay (rams) of Nabayawath (Nebaioth) shall sharath (minister) to you; they shall ilah (go up / offer) up with acceptance on my mazabach (altar); and I will paar (glorify) the bayath (house) of my glory.

8 “Who are these who iwap (flying) as a ib (cloud), and as the yawanayam (doves) to their arabah (windows)?

9 Surely the ayayam (islands) shall qawah (gather/wait) for me, and the anayawath (ships) of Tharashayash (Tarshish) raashawan (first), to bawaa (come) your ban (son) from rachawaq (far), their kasap (silver) and their zahab (gold) with them, for the sham (name) of Yahawah () your Alahayam (), and for the qadawash (holy) One of Yashar-Al (Israel), because he has paar (glorified) you.

10 “Foreigners shall banah (build) up your chawamah (walls), and their malak (king) shall sharath (minister) to you: for in my qatzap (wrath) I nakah (struck) you, but in my favor have I had racham (show mercy / love) on you.

11 Your shair (gates) also shall be pathach (open) continually; they shall not be sagar (shut) yawamam (by day) nor layal (night); that men may bawaa (bring) to you the wealth of the gawayam (heathen), and their malak (king) nahag (led) captive.

12 For that gaway (heathen / nation) and mamalakah (kingdom) that will not ibad (servant) you shall abad (destroy / perish); yes, those gawayam (heathen) shall be utterly charab (wasted).

13 “The kabawad (glory) of Labanawan (Lebanon) shall bawaa (bring) to you, the barawash (fir) tree, the thadahar (pine), and the box tree yachad (together), to paar (beautify) the maqawam (place) of my maqadash (sanctuary); and I will make the maqawam (place) of my ragal (feet / foot) kabad (glorious).

14 The banay (sons) of those who inah (oppress / afflict) you shall halak (move) shachach (bending) to you; and all those who naatz (despised) you shall shachah (bow) themselves down at the kapawath (soles) of your ragal (feet / foot); and they shall qaraa (called) you The iyar (city) of Yahawah (), The Tzayawan (Zion) of the qadawash (holy) One of Yashar-Al (Israel).

15 “Thachath (under) you have been forsaken and shanaa (hate), so that no ibar (pass over/through) passed through you, I will shawam (place / establish / appoint) you an iwalam (eternity) gaawan (excellency), a mashawash (joy) of many dawar (generation / age / period).

16 You shall also drink the chalab (milk) of the gawayam (nations), and shall yanaq (nurse) from malak (king) shad (breasts); and you shall yadai (know) that I, Yahawah (), am your Savior, and your gaal (redeemer), the abayar (mighty) One of Yaiqab (Jacob).

17 For nachashath (brass) I will bawaa (bring) zahab (gold), and for barazal (iron) I will bawaa (bring) kasap (silver), and for itz (wood) nachashath (brass), and for abanayam (stones) barazal (iron). I will also shawam (place / establish / appoint) your paqadah (officers) shalawam (peace / safety), and tzadaqah (righteousness) your nagash (ruler).

18 Chamas (violence) shall no more be shamai (hearken / hear) in your aratz (Earth/land), shad (desolation) nor shabar (destruction) within your gabawal (border/boundary); but you shall qaraa (called) your chawamah (walls) yashawaih (salvation), and your shair (gates) thahalah (praise).

19 The shamash (sun) shall be no more your awar (light) by yawamam (by day); neither for nagah (brightness) shall the yarach (moon) give awar (light) to you: but Yahawah () will be to you an iwalam (forever) awar (light), and your Alahayam () your glory.

20 Your shamash (sun) shall no more bawaa (come) down, neither shall your yarach (moon) asap (withdraw) itself; for Yahawah () will be your iwalam (forever) awar (light), and the yamay (days) of your abal (mourning) shall be shalam (ended).

21 Your im (nation / people) also shall be all tzadayaq (righteous); they shall yarash (inherit) the aratz (Earth/land) iwalam (eternity), the natzar (branch) of my matai (planting), the maishah (work) of my yad (hand), that I may be paar (glorified).

22 The qatan (small / young / least) one shall become a alap (thousand), and the tzaiyar (small) one a itzawam (strong) gaway (heathen / nation); I, Yahawah (), will chawash (hasten) it in its ith (time).”
