< 以賽亞書 62 >

1 我因錫安必不靜默, 為耶路撒冷必不息聲, 直到他的公義如光輝發出, 他的救恩如明燈發亮。
For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burns.
2 列國必見你的公義; 列王必見你的榮耀。 你必得新名的稱呼, 是耶和華親口所起的。
And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
3 你在耶和華的手中要作為華冠, 在你上帝的掌上必作為冕旒。
You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 你必不再稱為「撇棄的」; 你的地也不再稱為「荒涼的」。 你卻要稱為「我所喜悅的」; 你的地也必稱為「有夫之婦」。 因為耶和華喜悅你, 你的地也必歸他。
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 the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
5 少年人怎樣娶處女, 你的眾民也要照樣娶你; 新郎怎樣喜悅新婦, 你的上帝也要照樣喜悅你。
For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you: and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
6 耶路撒冷啊, 我在你城上設立守望的, 他們晝夜必不靜默。 呼籲耶和華的,你們不要歇息,
I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: all of you that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
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為可讚美的。
And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 耶和華指着自己的右手和大能的膀臂起誓說: 我必不再將你的五穀給你仇敵作食物; 外邦人也不再喝你勞碌得來的新酒。
The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give your corn to be food for your enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink your wine, for the which you have laboured:
9 惟有那收割的要吃,並讚美耶和華; 那聚斂的要在我聖所的院內喝。
But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10 你們當從門經過經過, 預備百姓的路; 修築修築大道, 撿去石頭, 為萬民豎立大旗,
Go through, go through the gates; prepare all of you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
11 看哪,耶和華曾宣告到地極, 對錫安的居民說: 你的拯救者來到。 他的賞賜在他那裏; 他的報應在他面前。
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say all of you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12 人必稱他們為「聖民」,為「耶和華的贖民」; 你也必稱為「被眷顧、不撇棄的城」。
And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
