Isaiæ 62
1 Propter Sion non tacebo, et propter Jerusalem non quiescam, donec egrediatur ut splendor justus ejus, et salvator ejus ut lampas accendatur.
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.
2 Et videbunt gentes justum tuum, et cuncti reges inclytum tuum; et vocabitur tibi nomen novum, quod os Domini nominabit.
Nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
3 Et eris corona gloriæ in manu Domini, et diadema regni in manu Dei tui.
You will be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the palm of your God.
4 Non vocaberis ultra Derelicta, et terra tua non vocabitur amplius Desolata; sed vocaberis, Voluntas mea in ea, et terra tua Inhabitata, quia complacuit Domino in te, et terra tua inhabitabitur.
No longer will you be called Forsaken, nor your land named Desolate; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be His bride.
5 Habitabit enim juvenis cum virgine, et habitabunt in te filii tui; et gaudebit sponsus super sponsam, et gaudebit super te Deus tuus.
For as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6 Super muros tuos, Jerusalem, constitui custodes; tota die et tota nocte in perpetuum non tacebunt. Qui reminiscimini Domini, ne taceatis,
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD shall take no rest for yourselves,
7 et ne detis silentium ei, donec stabiliat et donec ponat Jerusalem laudem in terra.
nor give Him any rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.
8 Juravit Dominus in dextera sua, et in brachio fortitudinis suæ: Si dedero triticum tuum ultra cibum inimicis tuis; et si biberint filii alieni vinum tuum in quo laborasti.
The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.
9 Quia qui congregant illud, comedent, et laudabunt Dominum; et qui comportant illud, bibent in atriis sanctis meis.
For those who harvest grain will eat it and praise the LORD, and those who gather grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.”
10 Transite, transite per portas, præparate viam populo: planum facite iter, eligite lapides, et elevate signum ad populos.
Go out, go out through the gates; prepare the way for the people! Build it up, build up the highway; clear away the stones; raise a banner for the nations!
11 Ecce Dominus auditum fecit in extremis terræ: Dicite filiæ Sion: Ecce Salvator tuus venit; ecce merces ejus cum eo, et opus ejus coram illo.
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, “Say to Daughter Zion: See, your Savior comes! Look, His reward is with Him, and His recompense goes before Him.”
12 Et vocabunt eos, Populus sanctus, redempti a Domino; tu autem vocaberis, Quæsita civitas, et non Derelicta.
And they will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of The LORD; and you will be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.
