< Isaiah 62 >
1 For Zion’s sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem’s sake I do not rest, Until her righteousness goes out as brightness, And her salvation burns 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 nations have seen your righteousness, And all kings your glory, And He is giving a new name to you, That the mouth of YHWH defines.
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 you have been a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, And a turban of royalty in the hand of your God,
你將是上主手中的榮冠,是你天主掌中的王冕。
4 It is not said of you anymore, “Forsaken!” And of your land it is not said anymore, “Desolate,” For to you is cried, “My delight [is] in her,” And to your land, “Married,” For YHWH has delighted in you, And your land is married.
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 For a young man marries a virgin, Your builders marry you, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Your God rejoices over you.
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 “On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.” O you remembering YHWH, do not keep silence for yourselves,
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 And do not give silence to Him, Until He establishes, and until He makes Jerusalem a praise in 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 YHWH has sworn by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: “I do not give your grain anymore [as] food for your enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink your new wine, For which you have labored.
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 For those gathering it eat it, and have praised YHWH, And those collecting it drink it 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 Pass on, pass on through the gates, Prepare the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.
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 Behold, YHWH has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation has come, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, And His wage before Him.”
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 they have cried to them, “The People of the Holy One! The Redeemed of YHWH!” Indeed, to you is called, “The sought out one, a city 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。」
