< 以赛亚书 62 >
1 我因锡安必不静默, 为耶路撒冷必不息声, 直到他的公义如光辉发出, 他的救恩如明灯发亮。
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2 列国必见你的公义; 列王必见你的荣耀。 你必得新名的称呼, 是耶和华亲口所起的。
The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of YHWH shall name.
3 你在耶和华的手中要作为华冠, 在你 神的掌上必作为冕旒。
You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 你必不再称为“撇弃的”; 你的地也不再称为“荒凉的”。 你却要称为“我所喜悦的”; 你的地也必称为“有夫之妇”。 因为耶和华喜悦你, 你的地也必归他。
And you shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for YHWH delights in you, and your land shall be married.
5 少年人怎样娶处女, 你的众民也要照样娶你; 新郎怎样喜悦新妇, 你的 神也要照样喜悦你。
For just as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6 耶路撒冷啊, 我在你城上设立守望的, 他们昼夜必不静默。 呼吁耶和华的,你们不要歇息,
I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never be silent, day or night. You who call on YHWH, take no rest,
7 也不要使他歇息, 直等他建立耶路撒冷, 使耶路撒冷在地上成为可赞美的。
and give him no rest until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 耶和华指着自己的右手和大能的膀臂起誓说: 我必不再将你的五谷给你仇敌作食物; 外邦人也不再喝你劳碌得来的新酒。
YHWH has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
9 惟有那收割的要吃,并赞美耶和华; 那聚敛的要在我圣所的院内喝。
but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise YHWH; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."
10 你们当从门经过经过, 预备百姓的路; 修筑修筑大道, 捡去石头, 为万民竖立大旗,
Go through the gates, prepare the way of the people. Build up, build up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples.
11 看哪,耶和华曾宣告到地极, 对锡安的居民说: 你的拯救者来到。 他的赏赐在他那里; 他的报应在他面前。
Look, YHWH has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation comes. Look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.'"
12 人必称他们为“圣民”,为“耶和华的赎民”; 你也必称为“被眷顾、不撇弃的城”。
They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of YHWH: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
