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].
われシオンの義あさ日の光輝のごとくにいで ヱルサレムの救もゆる松火のごとくになるまではシオンのために默さずヱルサレムのために休まざるべし
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.
もろもろの國はなんぢの義を見 もろもろの王はみななんぢの榮をみん 斯てなんぢはヱホバの口にて定め給ふ新しき名をもて稱へらるべし
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.
また汝はうるはしき冠のごとくヱホバの手にあり 王の冕のごとくなんぢの神のたなごころにあらん
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].
人ふたたび汝をすてられたる者といはず 再びなんぢの地をあれたる者といはじ 却てなんぢをヘフジバ(わが悦ぶところ)ととなへ なんぢの地をベウラ(配偶)ととなふべし そはヱホバなんぢをよろこびたまふ なんぢの地は配偶をえん
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].
わかきものの處女をめとる如くなんぢの子輩はなんぢを娶らん 新郎の新婦をよろこぶごとくなんぢの神なんぢを喜びたまふべし
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]!
ヱルサレムよ我なんぢの石垣のうへに斥候をおきて終日終夜たえず默すことなからしむ なんぢらヱホバに記念したまはんことを求むるものよ 自らやすむなかれ
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
ヱホバ、ヱルサレムをたてて全地に譽をえしめ給ふまでは息め奉るなかれ
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].
ヱホバその右手をさしその大能の臂をさし誓ひて宣給く われ再びなんぢの五穀をなんぢの敵にあたへて食はせず 異邦人はなんぢが勞したる酒をのまざるべし
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].”
収穫せしものは之をくらひてヱホバを讃たたへ 葡萄をあつめし者はわが聖所の庭にて之をのむべし
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].
門よりすすみゆけ進みゆけ 民の途をそなへ土をもり土をもりて大路をまうけよ 石をとりのぞけ もろもろの民に旗をあげて示せ
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.’”
ヱホバ地の極にまで告てのたまはく 汝等シオンの女にいへ 視よなんぢらの救きたる 視よ主の手にその恩賜あり はたらきの價はその前にあり
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.
而してかれらはきよき民またヱホバにあがなはれたる者ととなへられん なんぢは人にもとめ尋らるるもの棄られざる邑ととなへらるべし
