Isaiah 62
New American Standard Bible
Zion’s Glory and New Name
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,
Until her (A)righteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her (B)salvation like a torch that is burning.
2 The (C)nations will see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory;
And you will be called by a new (D)name
Which the mouth of the Lord will designate.
3 You will also be a (E)crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
And a royal headband in the hand of your God.
4 It will no longer be said to you, “[a](F)Forsaken,”
Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “[b]Desolate”;
But you will be called, “[c]My delight is in her,”
And your land, “[d](G)Married”;
For the (H)Lord delights in you,
And to Him your land will be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
So your sons will marry you;
And as the [e]groom rejoices over the bride,
So your (I)God will rejoice over you.
6 On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed (J)watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who (K)profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;
7 And (L)give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes (M)Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth.
8 (N)The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm:
“I will (O)never again give your grain as food for your enemies,
Nor will [f]foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”
9 But those who (P)harvest it will eat it and praise the Lord;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courtyards of My sanctuary.
10 Go through, (Q)go through the gates,
Clear a way [g]for the people!
(R)Build up, build up the (S)highway,
Remove the stones, lift up a (T)flag over the peoples.
11 Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the (U)end of the earth:
(V)Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your (W)salvation is coming;
(X)Behold His reward is with Him, and His compensation before Him.”
12 And they will call them, “(Y)The holy people,
The (Z)redeemed of the Lord”;
And you will be called, “Sought Out, A City (AA)Not Abandoned.”

Splendore di Gerusalemme
62 Per amore di Sion non tacerò,
per amore di Gerusalemme non mi darò pace,
finché non sorga come stella la sua giustizia
e la sua salvezza non risplenda come lampada. 
2 Allora i popoli vedranno la tua giustizia,
tutti i re la tua gloria;
ti si chiamerà con un nome nuovo
che la bocca del Signore indicherà. 
3 Sarai una magnifica corona nella mano del Signore,
un diadema regale nella palma del tuo Dio. 
4 Nessuno ti chiamerà più Abbandonata,
né la tua terra sarà più detta Devastata,
ma tu sarai chiamata Mio compiacimento
e la tua terra, Sposata,
perché il Signore si compiacerà di te
e la tua terra avrà uno sposo. 
5 Sì, come un giovane sposa una vergine,
così ti sposerà il tuo architetto;
come gioisce lo sposo per la sposa,
così il tuo Dio gioirà per te. 
6 Sulle tue mura, Gerusalemme,
ho posto sentinelle;
per tutto il giorno e tutta la notte
non taceranno mai.
Voi, che rammentate le promesse al Signore,
non prendetevi mai riposo 
7 e neppure a lui date riposo,
finché non abbia ristabilito Gerusalemme
e finché non l'abbia resa il vanto della terra. 
8 Il Signore ha giurato con la sua destra
e con il suo braccio potente:
«Mai più darò il tuo grano in cibo ai tuoi nemici,
mai più gli stranieri berranno il vino
per il quale tu hai faticato. 
9 No! Coloro che avranno raccolto il grano
lo mangeranno e canteranno inni al Signore,
coloro che avranno vendemmiato berranno il vino
nei cortili del mio santuario». 
10 Passate, passate per le porte,
sgombrate la via al popolo,
spianate, spianate la strada,
liberatela dalle pietre,
innalzate un vessillo per i popoli. 
11 Ecco ciò che il Signore fa sentire
all'estremità della terra:
«Dite alla figlia di Sion:
Ecco, arriva il tuo salvatore;
ecco, ha con sé la sua mercede,
la sua ricompensa è davanti a lui. 
12 Li chiameranno popolo santo,
redenti del Signore.
E tu sarai chiamata Ricercata,
Città non abbandonata».
Isaiah 62
New International Version
Zion’s New Name
62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,(A)
    for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,
till her vindication(B) shines out like the dawn,(C)
    her salvation(D) like a blazing torch.
2 The nations(E) will see your vindication,
    and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name(F)
    that the mouth of the Lord will bestow.
3 You will be a crown(G) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
    a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No longer will they call you Deserted,(H)
    or name your land Desolate.(I)
But you will be called Hephzibah,[a](J)
    and your land Beulah[b];
for the Lord will take delight(K) in you,
    and your land will be married.(L)
5 As a young man marries a young woman,
    so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom(M) rejoices over his bride,
    so will your God rejoice(N) over you.
6 I have posted watchmen(O) on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,(P)
7 and give him no rest(Q) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise(R) of the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn(S) by his right hand
    and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain(T)
    as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
    for which you have toiled;
9 but those who harvest it will eat(U) it
    and praise the Lord,(V)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
    in the courts of my sanctuary.”(W)
10 Pass through, pass through the gates!(X)
    Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!(Y)
    Remove the stones.
Raise a banner(Z) for the nations.
11 The Lord has made proclamation
    to the ends of the earth:(AA)
“Say to Daughter Zion,(AB)
    ‘See, your Savior comes!(AC)
See, his reward is with him,
    and his recompense accompanies him.’”(AD)
12 They will be called(AE) the Holy People,(AF)
    the Redeemed(AG) of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After,
    the City No Longer Deserted.(AH)
