< 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.
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。
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.
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。
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,
你在耶和華的手中要作為華冠, 在你上帝的掌上必作為冕旒。
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。
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.
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。
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,
7 And do not give silence to Him, Until He establishes, and until He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
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。
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.
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。
9 For those gathering it eat it, and have praised YHWH, And those collecting it drink it in My holy courts.”
惟有那收割的要吃,並讚美耶和華; 那聚斂的要在我聖所的院內喝。
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.
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,
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,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。
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」。
