Isaiah 62
Lexham English Bible
Zion’s New Identity
62 For the sake of Zion I will not be silent,
and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not maintain a quiet attitude,
until her righteousness goes out like the bright light,
and her salvation burns like a torch.
2 And the nations shall see your righteousness,
and all the kings your glory,
and you will be called[a] a new name
that the mouth of Yahweh will designate.
3 And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Yahweh,
and a headband of royalty in the hand of your God.
4 It shall no longer be said of you, “Forsaken,”
and it shall no longer be said of your land, “Desolation!”
but you will[b] be called “My Delight Is In Her,”
and your land, “Married,”
for Yahweh delights in you,
and your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
so shall your sons marry you,
and as is the joy of the bridegroom over the bride,
so shall your God rejoice over you.
6 I have appointed watchmen upon your walls, Jerusalem;
all day and all night they shall never be silent.
You who profess Yahweh have no rest.
7 And you must not give him rest until he establishes,
and until he makes[c] Jerusalem an object of praise[d] in the earth.
8 Yahweh has sworn by his right hand,
and by his mighty arm,[e]
“Surely I will never again give your grain as food to your enemies,[f]
and surely foreigners[g] shall not drink your new wine at which you have labored.”
9 But those who gather it shall eat it, and they shall praise Yahweh,
and those who gather it shall drink it in my holy courts.[h]
10 Pass through, pass through the gates!
Make the way clear for[i] the people!
Pile up, pile up the highway; clear it of stones![j]
Lift up an ensign over the peoples!
11 Look! Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth:
Say to daughter Zion, “Look, your salvation is coming!
Look, his reward is with him,
and his reward before him.
12 And they shall call them “The Holy People,[k] The Redeemed Of Yahweh,”
and you[l] shall be called “Sought After, A City Is Not Forsaken.”

锡安蒙主喜悦
62 为了锡安我不再缄默,
为了耶路撒冷我不再沉默,
直到她的公义如明光照耀,
她的救恩如火把通明。
2 耶路撒冷啊,
列国必看见你的公义,
列王必看见你的荣耀,
耶和华必亲口赐你一个新名字。
3 你必成为耶和华手中的华冠,
你上帝手上的荣冕。
4 你不再被称为“弃妇”,
你的土地不再被称为“荒凉之地”。
你要被称为“主喜悦的人”,
你的土地要被称为“有夫之妇”,
因为耶和华必喜爱你,
做你土地的丈夫。
5 你的人民必娶你,
好像男子娶少女;
上帝必喜爱你,
如同新郎喜爱新娘。
6 耶路撒冷啊,
我已在你城墙上设立守望者。
他们昼夜不停地祷告。
呼求耶和华的人啊,
你们不可歇息,
7 要常常敦促祂,
直到祂建立耶路撒冷,
使耶路撒冷成为普世歌颂的城。
8 耶和华凭祂的右手,凭祂大能的臂膀起誓说:
“我再也不会把你的五谷给你的仇敌吃,
再也不会让外族人喝你辛苦酿制的新酒。
9 收割的人必享受五谷,
赞美耶和华,
摘葡萄的人必在我圣所的院内喝酒。”
10 要出去,去城外,
为百姓修平道路。
要修筑,修筑大道,
清除石头,
为万民竖立旗帜。
11 看啊,耶和华已经向普世宣告:“要对锡安城说,
‘看啊,你的拯救者带着奖赏和报酬来了!’”
12 他们将被称为圣民,是耶和华救赎的人。
你将被称为蒙眷爱、不再被撇弃的城。

New King James Version
Assurance of Zion’s Salvation
62 For Zion’s sake I will not [a]hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2 (A)The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all (B)kings your glory.
(C)You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.
3 You shall also be (D)a crown of glory
In the hand of the Lord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
4 (E)You shall no longer be termed (F)Forsaken,[b]
Nor shall your land any more be termed (G)Desolate;[c]
But you shall be called [d]Hephzibah, and your land [e]Beulah;
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
(H)So shall your God rejoice over you.
6 (I)I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall [f]never hold their peace day or night.
You who [g]make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
7 And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem (J)a praise in the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer (K)give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
9 But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it (L)in My holy courts.”
10 Go through,
Go through the gates!
(M)Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
(N)Lift up a banner for the peoples!
11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
(O)“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His (P)reward is with Him,
And His [h]work before Him.’ ”
12 And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.
