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 will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burns.

2 Et videbunt Gentes Iustum tuum, et cuncti reges Inclytum tuum: et vocabitur tibi nomen novum, quod os Domini nominabit.

And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

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

You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem 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 shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah: for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall 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 marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you: and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice 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 set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: you that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

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

And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8 Iuravit 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 the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give your corn to be meat for your enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink your wine, for the which you have labored:

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

But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

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

Go through, go through the gates; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

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

Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the world, Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

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

And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
