< 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 I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.
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。
The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which the LORD’s mouth will 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 will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
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 will not be called Forsaken any more, nor will your land be called Desolate any more; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will 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 your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will 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 on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on the LORD, 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為可讚美的。
and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he makes 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 grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,
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 those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise the LORD. Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”
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 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 to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense 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」。
They will call them “The Holy People, The LORD’s Redeemed”. You will be called “Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken”.
