Isaiah 62
1 Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
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 [Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new 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 [It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
你將是上主手中的榮冠，是你天主掌中的王冕。
4 Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
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 You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
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 [You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
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 tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
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 Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
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 You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
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 out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
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 This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of 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 They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
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。」
