Isaiah 62

1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth.

我因錫安必不靜默， 為耶路撒冷必不息聲， 直到他的公義如光輝發出， 他的救恩如明燈發亮。

2 And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

列國必見你的公義； 列王必見你的榮耀。 你必得新名的稱呼， 是耶和華親口所起的。

3 Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

你在耶和華的手中要作為華冠， 在你上帝的掌上必作為冕旒。

4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

你必不再稱為「撇棄的」； 你的地也不再稱為「荒涼的」。 你卻要稱為「我所喜悅的」； 你的地也必稱為「有夫之婦」。 因為耶和華喜悅你， 你的地也必歸他。

5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

少年人怎樣娶處女， 你的眾民也要照樣娶你； 新郎怎樣喜悅新婦， 你的上帝也要照樣喜悅你。

6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are the LORD’S remembrancers, take ye no rest,

耶路撒冷啊， 我在你城上設立守望的， 他們晝夜必不靜默。 呼籲耶和華的，你們不要歇息，

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

也不要使他歇息， 直等他建立耶路撒冷， 使耶路撒冷在地上成為可讚美的。

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 thine enemies; and strangers shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

耶和華指着自己的右手和大能的膀臂起誓說： 我必不再將你的五穀給你仇敵作食物； 外邦人也不再喝你勞碌得來的新酒。

9 but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.

惟有那收割的要吃，並讚美耶和華； 那聚斂的要在我聖所的院內喝。

10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign for the peoples.

你們當從門經過經過， 預備百姓的路； 修築修築大道， 撿去石頭， 為萬民豎立大旗，

11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence before him.

看哪，耶和華曾宣告到地極， 對錫安的居民說： 你的拯救者來到。 他的賞賜在他那裏； 他的報應在他面前。

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

人必稱他們為「聖民」，為「耶和華的贖民」； 你也必稱為「被眷顧、不撇棄的城」。
