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 Zion’s sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem’s sake I do not rest, Until her righteousness goes out as brightness, And her salvation burns as a torch.
2 Et videbunt Gentes iustum tuum, et cuncti reges inclytum tuum: et vocabitur tibi nomen novum, quod os Domini nominavit.
And nations have seen your righteousness, And all kings your glory, And He is giving a new name to you, That the mouth of YHWH defines.
3 Et eris corona gloriae in manu Domini, et diadema regni in manu Dei tui.
And you have been a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, And a turban of royalty 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.
It is not said of you anymore, “Forsaken!” And of your land it is not said anymore, “Desolate,” For to you is cried, “My delight [is] in her,” And to your land, “Married,” For YHWH has delighted in you, And your land is 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 a young man marries a virgin, Your builders marry you, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Your God rejoices over you.
6 Super muros tuos Ierusalem constitui custodes, tota die, et tota nocte in perpetuum non tacebunt. Qui reminiscimini Domini, ne taceatis,
“On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.” O you remembering YHWH, do not keep silence for yourselves,
7 et ne detis silentium ei, donec stabiliat, et donec ponat Ierusalem laudem in terra.
And do not give silence to Him, Until He establishes, and until He makes Jerusalem a praise 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.
YHWH has sworn by His right hand, Even by the arm of His strength: “I do not give your grain anymore [as] food for your enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink your new wine, For which you have labored.
9 Quia qui congregant illud, comedent, et laudabunt Dominum: et qui comportant illud, bibent in atriis sanctis meis.
For those gathering it eat it, and have praised YHWH, And those collecting it drink it in My holy courts.”
10 Transite, transite per portas, praeparate viam populo, planum facite iter, eligite lapides, et elevate signum ad Populos.
Pass on, pass on through the gates, Prepare the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign 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.
Behold, YHWH has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation has come, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, And His wage before Him.”
12 Et vocabunt eos, Populus sanctus, redempti a Domino. Tu autem vocaberis: Quaesita civitas, et non Derelicta.
And they have cried to them, “The People of the Holy One! The Redeemed of YHWH!” Indeed, to you is called, “The sought out one, a city not forsaken!”
