Isaiæ 62

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

For Sion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as light, and my salvation burn as a torch.

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

And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and kings thy glory: and one shall call thee [by] a new name, which the Lord shall name.

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

And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy 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.

And thou shalt no more be called Forsaken; and thy land shall no more be called Desert: for thou shalt be called My Pleasure, and thy land Inhabited: for the Lord has taken pleasure in thee, and thy land shall be inhabited.

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

And as a young man lives with a virgin, so shall thy sons dwell in [thee]: and it shall come to pass [that] as a bridegroom will rejoice over a bride, so will the Lord rejoice over thee.

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

And on thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord.

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

For there is none like you, when he shall have established, and made Jerusalem a praise on 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.

For the Lord has sworn by his glory, and by the might of his arm, I will no more give thy corn and thy provisions to thine enemies; nor shall strangers any more drink thy wine, for which thou has laboured.

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

But they that have gathered them shall eat them, and they shall praise the Lord; and they that have gathered [the grapes] shall drink thereof in my holy courts.

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

Go through my gates, and make a way for my people; and cast the stones out of the way; lift up a standard for the Gentiles.

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.

For behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth, say ye to the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy Saviour has come to thee, having his reward and his work before his face.

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

And one shall call them the holy people, the redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called a city sought out, and not forsaken.
