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].
Per amor di Sion io non mi tacerò, e per amor di Gerusalemme io non mi darò posa finché la sua giustizia non apparisca come l’aurora, e la sua salvezza, come una face ardente.
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.
Allora le nazioni vedranno la tua giustizia, e tutti i re, la tua gloria; e sarai chiamata con un nome nuovo, che la bocca dell’Eterno fisserà;
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.
e sarai una splendida corona in mano all’Eterno, un diadema regale nella palma del tuo Dio.
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].
Non ti si dirà più “Abbandonata”, la tua terra non sarà più detta “Desolazione”, ma tu sarai chiamata “La mia delizia è in lei”, e la tua terra “Maritata”; poiché l’Eterno riporrà in te il suo diletto, e la tua terra avrà uno sposo.
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].
Come una giovine sposa una vergine, così i tuoi figliuoli sposeranno te; e come la sposa è la gioia della sposo, così tu sarai la gioia del tuo Dio.
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]!
Sulle tue mura, o Gerusalemme, io ho posto delle sentinelle, che non si taceranno mai, né giorno né notte: “O voi che destate il ricordo dell’Eterno, non abbiate requie,
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
e non date requie a lui, finch’egli non abbia ristabilito Gerusalemme, e n’abbia fatta la lode di tutta la terra”.
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].
L’Eterno l’ha giurato per la sua destra e pel suo braccio potente: Io non darò mai più il tuo frumento per cibo ai tuoi nemici; e i figli dello straniero non berranno più il tuo vino, frutto delle tue fatiche;
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].”
ma quelli che avranno raccolto il frumento lo mangeranno e loderanno l’Eterno, e quelli che avran vendemmiato berranno il vino nei cortili del mio santuario.
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].
Passate, passate per le porte! Preparate la via per il popolo! Acconciate, acconciate la strada, toglietene le pietre, alzate una bandiera dinanzi ai popoli!
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.’”
Ecco, l’Eterno proclama fino agli estremi confini della terra: “Dite alla figliuola di Sion: Ecco, la tua salvezza giunge; ecco egli ha seco il suo salario, e la sua retribuzione lo precede”.
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.
Quelli saran chiamati “Il popolo santo”, “I redenti dell’Eterno”, e tu sarai chiamata “Ricercata”, “La città non abbandonata”.
