Възстановяване и слава на Сион

62 Заради Сион няма да млъкна
и заради Йерусалим няма да престана,
докато не се яви правдата му като сияние
и спасението му – като запалено светило.
(A)Народите ще видят правдата ти
и всички царе – славата ти;
и ти ще се наречеш с ново име,
което устата Господни ще изрекат.
(B)Ще бъдеш също така славен венец в ръката Господня,
дори царска корона на дланта на твоя Бог.
(C)Няма вече да се наричаш изоставен,
нито земята ти ще се нарича вече пуста;
а ще се наричаш: „Моето благоволение е в него“,
и земята ти – венчана;
защото Господ благоволи в теб и земята ти ще бъде венчана.
(D)Защото както момък се жени за мома,
така и твоят народ[a] ще се ожени за теб;
и както младоженецът се радва на невястата,
така и твоят Бог ще се зарадва на тебе.
(E)На стените ти, Йерусалиме, поставих стражи,
които никога няма да мълчат – нито денем, нито нощем.
Вие, които припомняте на Господа, не замлъквайте
(F)и не Му давайте почивка,
докато не утвърди Йерусалим
и докато не го направи за похвала по земята.
(G)Господ се закле в десницата Си и в силната Си мишца, като каза:
Няма да дам вече житото ти за храна на неприятелите ти
и чужденците няма да пият виното ти, за което ти си се трудил;
(H)а които го прибират в житницата, те ще го ядат
и ще хвалят Господа;
и които го събират, те ще го пият
в дворовете на Моето светилище.
10 (I)Минете, минете през портите,
пригответе пътя за народа;
изравнете, изравнете пътя,
съберете камъните му;
издигнете знаме за племената.
11 (J)Ето, Господ прогласи до краищата на земята:
Кажете на сионовата дъщеря:
Ето, Спасителят ти иде;
ето, наградата Му е с Него
и отплатата Му – пред Него.
12 (K)И ще ги наричат свят народ,
изкупените от Господа;
и ти ще се наричаш издирен,
град неизоставен.

Chapter 62

A New Name for Zion

[a]For Zion’s sake I will not be silent,
    for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still,
Until her vindication shines forth like the dawn
    and her salvation like a burning torch.(A)
Nations shall behold your vindication,
    and all kings your glory;
You shall be called by a new name
    bestowed by the mouth of the Lord.(B)
You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the Lord,
    a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
No more shall you be called “Forsaken,”
    nor your land called “Desolate,”
But you shall be called “My Delight is in her,”
    and your land “Espoused.”
For the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be espoused.(C)
For as a young man marries a virgin,
    your Builder shall marry you;
And as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride
    so shall your God rejoice in you.
Upon your walls, Jerusalem,
    I have stationed sentinels;
By day and by night,
    they shall never be silent.
You who are to remind the Lord,
    take no rest,
And give him no rest,
    until he re-establishes Jerusalem
And makes it the praise of the earth.

The Blessings of Salvation for God’s People

[b]The Lord has sworn by his right hand
    and by his mighty arm:
No more will I give your grain
    as food to your enemies;
Nor shall foreigners drink the wine,
    for which you toiled.(D)
But those who harvest shall eat,
    and praise the Lord;
Those who gather shall drink
    in my holy courts.(E)
10 [c]Pass through, pass through the gates,
    prepare a way for the people;(F)
Build up, build up the highway, clear it of stones,
    raise up a standard over the nations.
11 The Lord has proclaimed
    to the ends of the earth:
Say to daughter Zion,
    “See, your savior comes!
See, his reward is with him,
    his recompense before him.”(G)
12 They shall be called “The Holy People,”
    “The Redeemed of the Lord.”
And you shall be called “Cared For,”
    “A City Not Forsaken.”(H)

  1. 62:1–12 As in chap. 60, the prophet addresses Zion, announcing the reversal of her fortune. Several motifs reappear: light and glory (60:1–3, 19–20), tribute of nations (60:11), and especially the marriage (61:10; cf. also 54:5–8).
  2. 62:8–9 Peace and prosperity are indicated by the absence of invaders who would live off the land.
  3. 62:10–11 The gates of Babylon are to be opened for the exiles to return, led by the Lord, as in 40:3–5, 10.

62 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 burneth.

And the Gentiles 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.

Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

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

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.

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,

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

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 the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

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 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 a standard for the people.

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

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.

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.
(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.
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.
(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.
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.

(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,
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem (J)a praise in the earth.

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.
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.
