Esias 62

1 For Sion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as light, and my salvation burn as a torch.

為了熙雍我決不緘默，為了耶路撒冷我決不休息，直到她的正義顯現有如光明，她的救恩燃灼有如火炬。

2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and kings thy glory: and one shall call thee [by] a new name, which the Lord shall name.

萬民都要見到你的正義，眾王都要看見你的榮耀；人要給你起一個新的名號，是上主親口所指定的。

3 And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

你將是上主手中的榮冠，是你天主掌中的王冕。

4 And thou shalt no more be called Forsaken; and thy land shall no more be called Desert: for thou shalt be called My Pleasure, and thy land Inhabited: for the Lord has taken pleasure in thee, and thy land shall be inhabited.

你不再稱為「被遺棄的，」你的地域也不再稱為「荒涼的；」因為你要稱為「我可愛的，」你的地域要稱為「已婚的，」因為上主喜愛你，你的地域將要婚嫁。

5 And as a young man lives with a virgin, so shall thy sons dwell in [thee]: and it shall come to pass [that] as a bridegroom will rejoice over a bride, so will the Lord rejoice over thee.

就如青年怎樣娶處女，你的建造者也要怎樣娶你；新郎怎樣喜愛新娘，你的天主也要怎樣喜愛你。

6 And on thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord.

耶路撒冷啊！我在你的城牆上派了守望者，他們日夜總不緘默；提醒上主的人哪！ 你們總不要休息！

7 For there is none like you, when he shall have established, and made Jerusalem a praise on the earth.

你們也不要讓他休息，直到他建立了熙雍，直到他使耶路撒冷在大地成為可讚美的。

8 For the Lord has sworn by his glory, and by the might of his arm, I will no more give thy corn and thy provisions to thine enemies; nor shall strangers any more drink thy wine, for which thou has laboured.

上主憑他的右手和他強有力的手臂發誓說：「我決不再將你的五穀交給你的仇人吃，也決不再讓外邦人喝你所勞作的美酒。

9 But they that have gathered them shall eat them, and they shall praise the Lord; and they that have gathered [the grapes] shall drink thereof in my holy courts.

惟有那收割的能吃，並頌揚上主；那收集的，將在我聖殿的庭院裏喝。」

10 Go through my gates, and make a way for my people; and cast the stones out of the way; lift up a standard for the Gentiles.

過去！經過大門罷！修平人民的路！修路！把路修好，除去上面的石頭；你們要為萬民豎起一面旗幟。

11 For behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth, say ye to the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy Saviour has come to thee, having his reward and his work before his face.

看哪！上主向大地四極宣佈說：你們應向熙雍女子說：看！你的救主來了！看！他的勝利品與他同在，他獲得的酬勞在他面前。

12 And one shall call them the holy people, the redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called a city sought out, and not forsaken.

人要稱他們為「聖潔的民族，」「上主贖回的。」你要被稱為「蒙愛的，」「不被棄的城。」
