Isaiæ 62

1 Propter Sion non tacebo, et propter Ierusalem non quiescam, donec egrediatur ut splendor iustus eius, et salvator eius ut lampas accendatur.

Because of Zion I will not keep quiet, and because of Jerusalem I will take no rest, till her righteousness goes out like the shining of the sun, and her salvation like a burning light.

2 Et videbunt Gentes iustum tuum, et cuncti reges inclytum tuum: et vocabitur tibi nomen novum, quod os Domini nominavit.

And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you will have a new name, given by the mouth of the Lord.

3 Et eris corona gloriae in manu Domini, et diadema regni in manu Dei tui.

And you will be a fair crown in the hand of the Lord, and a king's head-dress in the hand 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.

You will not now be named, She who is given up; and your land will no longer be named, The waste land: but you will have the name, My pleasure is in her, and your land will be named, Married: for the Lord has pleasure in you, and your land will be married.

5 Habitabit enim iuvenis cum virgine, et habitabunt in te filii tui. Et gaudebit sponsus super sponsam, et gaudebit super te Deus tuus.

For as a young man takes a virgin for his wife, so will your maker be married to you: and as a husband has joy in his bride, so will the Lord your God be glad over you.

6 Super muros tuos Ierusalem constitui custodes, tota die, et tota nocte in perpetuum non tacebunt. Qui reminiscimini Domini, ne taceatis,

I have put watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will not keep quiet day or night: you who are the Lord's recorders, take no rest,

7 et ne detis silentium ei, donec stabiliat, et donec ponat Ierusalem laudem in terra.

And give him no rest, till he puts Jerusalem in her place to be praised in the earth.

8 Iuravit Dominus in dextera sua, et in brachio fortitudinis suae: Si dedero triticum tuum ultra cibum inimicis tuis: et si biberint filii alieni vinum tuum, in quo laborasti.

The Lord has taken an oath by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Truly, I will no longer give your grain to be food for your haters; and men of strange countries will not take the wine for which your work has been done:

9 Quia qui congregant illud, comedent, et laudabunt Dominum: et qui comportant illud, bibent in atriis sanctis meis.

But those who have got in the grain will have it for their food, and will give praise to the Lord; and those who have got in the grapes will take the wine of them in the open places of my holy house.

10 Transite, transite per portas, praeparate viam populo, planum facite iter, eligite lapides, et elevate signum ad Populos.

Go through, go through the doors; make ready the way of the people; let the highway be lifted up; let the stones be taken away; let a flag be lifted up over the peoples.

11 Ecce Dominus auditum fecit in extremis terrae, dicite filiae Sion: Ecce Salvator tuus venit: ecce merces eius cum eo, et opus eius coram illo.

The Lord has sent out word to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your saviour comes; those whom he has made free are with him, and those to whom he has given salvation go before him.

12 Et vocabunt eos, Populus sanctus, redempti a Domino. Tu autem vocaberis: Quaesita civitas, et non Derelicta.

And they will be named, The holy people, Those whose cause has been taken up by the Lord: and you will be named, Desired, A town not given up.
