Isaiah 62

1 For Sion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest till her just one come forth as brightness, and her saviour be lighted as a lamp.

為了熙雍我決不緘默，為了耶路撒冷我決不休息，直到她的正義顯現有如光明，她的救恩燃灼有如火炬。

2 And the Gentiles shall see thy just one, and all kings thy glorious one: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.

萬民都要見到你的正義，眾王都要看見你的榮耀；人要給你起一個新的名號，是上主親口所指定的。

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

你將是上主手中的榮冠，是你天主掌中的王冕。

4 Thou shalt no more be called Forsaken: and thy land shall no more be called Desolate: but thou shalt be called My pleasure in her, and thy land inhabited. Because the Lord hath been well pleased with thee: and thy land shall be inhabited.

你不再稱為「被遺棄的，」你的地域也不再稱為「荒涼的；」因為你要稱為「我可愛的，」你的地域要稱為「已婚的，」因為上主喜愛你，你的地域將要婚嫁。

5 For the young man shall dwell with the virgin, and thy children shall dwell in thee. And the bridegroom shall rejoice over the bride, and thy God shall rejoice over thee.

就如青年怎樣娶處女，你的建造者也要怎樣娶你；新郎怎樣喜愛新娘，你的天主也要怎樣喜愛你。

6 Upon thy wails, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen all the day, and all the night, they shall never hold their peace. You that are mindful of the Lord, hold not your peace,

耶路撒冷啊！我在你的城牆上派了守望者，他們日夜總不緘默；提醒上主的人哪！ 你們總不要休息！

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

你們也不要讓他休息，直到他建立了熙雍，直到他使耶路撒冷在大地成為可讚美的。

8 The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength: Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thy enemies: and the sons of the strangers shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured.

上主憑他的右手和他強有力的手臂發誓說：「我決不再將你的五穀交給你的仇人吃，也決不再讓外邦人喝你所勞作的美酒。

9 For they that gather it, shall eat it, and shall praise the Lord: and they that bring it together, shall drink it in my holy courts.

惟有那收割的能吃，並頌揚上主；那收集的，將在我聖殿的庭院裏喝。」

10 Go through, go through the gates, prepare the way for the people, make the road plain, pick out the stones, and lift up the standard to the people.

過去！經過大門罷！修平人民的路！修路！把路修好，除去上面的石頭；你們要為萬民豎起一面旗幟。

11 Behold the Lord hath made it to be heard in the ends of the earth, tell the daughter of Sion: Behold thy Saviour cometh: behold his reward is with him, and his work before him.

看哪！上主向大地四極宣佈說：你們應向熙雍女子說：看！你的救主來了！看！他的勝利品與他同在，他獲得的酬勞在他面前。

12 And they shall call them, The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord. But thou shalt be called: A city sought after, and not forsaken.

人要稱他們為「聖潔的民族，」「上主贖回的。」你要被稱為「蒙愛的，」「不被棄的城。」
