Isaiæ 62
1 propter Sion non tacebo et propter Hierusalem 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 inclitum tuum et vocabitur tibi nomen novum quod os Domini nominabit
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 conplacuit 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 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 Hierusalem constitui custodes tota die et tota nocte perpetuo 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 Hierusalem 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 congregabunt illud comedent et laudabunt Dominum et qui conportant 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 et eligite lapides 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!”
