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 will not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness proceeds brightly, and her salvation as a burning torch.
2 Et videbunt Gentes Iustum tuum, et cuncti reges Inclytum tuum: et vocabitur tibi nomen novum, quod os Domini nominabit.
The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name that Yahweh will choose.
3 Et eris corona gloriæ in manu Domini, et diadema regni in manu Dei tui.
You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh, and a turban of kingship 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 will no more be said of you, “Abandoned”; nor of your land any longer will it be said, “Desolate.” Indeed, you will be called “My delight is in her,” and your land “Married,” for Yahweh delights in you, and your land will 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.
Truly, as a young man marries a young woman, so your sons will marry you, and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, your God will 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 put watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they are not silent day or night. You who keep reminding Yahweh, do not pause.
7 et ne detis silentium ei, donec stabiliat, et donec ponat Ierusalem laudem in terra.
Do not allow him to rest until he reestablishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise on 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.
Yahweh has sworn by his right hand and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no longer give your grain as food for your enemies. Foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have worked.
9 Quia qui congregant illud, comedent, et laudabunt Dominum: et qui comportant illud, bibent in atriis sanctis meis.
For those who harvest the grain will eat it and praise Yahweh, and those who pick the grapes will drink the wine in the courts of my holy sanctuary.”
10 Transite, transite per portas, præparate viam populo, planum facite iter, eligite lapides, et elevate signum ad Populos.
Come through, come through the gates! Prepare the way for the people! Build it, build the highway! Gather out the stones! Raise up a signal flag for the nations!
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.
Look, Yahweh announces to the ends of the earth, “Say to the daughter of Zion: Look, your Savior is coming! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense is going before him.”
12 Et vocabunt eos, Populus sanctus, redempti a Domino. Tu autem vocaberis: Quæsita civitas, et non Derelicta.
They will call you, “The holy people; the redeemed of Yahweh,” and you will be called “Sought after; a city not abandoned.”
