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.
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.
You will be a crown(G) of splendor in the Lord’s hand,
    a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
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)
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.

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)
and give him no rest(Q) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise(R) of the earth.

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;
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)

錫安蒙主喜悅

62 為了錫安我不再緘默,

為了耶路撒冷我不再沉默,
直到她的公義如明光照耀,
她的救恩如火把通明。
耶路撒冷啊,
列國必看見你的公義,
列王必看見你的榮耀,
耶和華必親口賜你一個新名字。
你必成為耶和華手中的華冠,
你上帝手上的榮冕。
你不再被稱為「棄婦」,
你的土地不再被稱為「荒涼之地」。
你要被稱為「主喜悅的人」,
你的土地要被稱為「有夫之婦」,
因為耶和華必喜愛你,
做你土地的丈夫。
你的人民必娶你,
好像男子娶少女;
上帝必喜愛你,
如同新郎喜愛新娘。

耶路撒冷啊,
我已在你城牆上設立守望者。
他們晝夜不停地禱告。
呼求耶和華的人啊,
你們不可歇息,
要常常敦促祂,
直到祂建立耶路撒冷,
使耶路撒冷成為普世歌頌的城。
耶和華憑祂的右手,憑祂大能的臂膀起誓說:
「我再也不會把你的五穀給你的仇敵吃,
再也不會讓外族人喝你辛苦釀製的新酒。
收割的人必享受五穀,
讚美耶和華,
摘葡萄的人必在我聖所的院內喝酒。」

10 要出去,去城外,
為百姓修平道路。
要修築,修築大道,
清除石頭,
為萬民豎立旗幟。
11 看啊,耶和華已經向普世宣告:「要對錫安城說,
『看啊,你的拯救者帶著獎賞和報酬來了!』」
12 他們將被稱為聖民,是耶和華救贖的人。
你將被稱為蒙眷愛、不再被撇棄的城。

Zion's Coming Salvation

62 (A)For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
    and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,
(B)until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
    and her salvation as a burning torch.
(C)The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
(D)and you shall be called by a new name
    that the mouth of the Lord will give.
You shall be (E)a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
(F)You shall no more be termed (G)Forsaken,[a]
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate,[b]
(H)but you shall be called (I)My Delight Is in Her,[c]
    and your land Married;[d]
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
For as a young man marries a young woman,
    so (J)shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so (K)shall your God rejoice over you.

On your walls, O Jerusalem,
    I have set (L)watchmen;
all the day and all the night
    they shall never be silent.
You who put the Lord in remembrance,
    take no rest,
and give him no rest
    until he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes it (M)a praise in the earth.
The Lord has sworn (N)by his right hand
    and by his mighty arm:
“I will not again give (O)your grain
    to be food for your enemies,
(P)and foreigners shall not drink your wine
    for which you have labored;
but (Q)those who garner it shall eat it
    and praise the Lord,
and (R)those who gather it shall drink it
    in the courts of my sanctuary.”[e]

10 Go through, go through the gates;
    (S)prepare the way for the people;
(T)build up, build up the highway;
    clear it of stones;
    (U)lift up a signal over the peoples.
11 Behold, the Lord has proclaimed
    to the end of the earth:
(V)Say to the daughter of Zion,
    (W)“Behold, your salvation comes;
behold, his reward is with him,
    and his recompense before him.”
12 (X)And they shall be called The Holy People,
    The Redeemed of the Lord;
(Y)and you shall be called Sought Out,
    A City Not Forsaken.

  4. Isaiah 62:4 Hebrew Beulah
  5. Isaiah 62:9 Or in my holy courts

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.

62 For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace,
    and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
    and her salvation like a burning lamp.
The nations will see your righteousness,
    and all kings your glory.
You will be called by a new name,
    which Yahweh’s mouth will name.
You will also be a crown of beauty in Yahweh’s hand,
    and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
You will not be called Forsaken any more,
    nor will your land be called Desolate any more;
but you will be called Hephzibah,[a]
    and your land Beulah;[b]
for Yahweh delights in you,
    and your land will be married.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
    so your sons will marry you.
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
    so your God will rejoice over you.

I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem.
    They will never be silent day nor night.
You who call on Yahweh, take no rest,
    and give him no rest until he establishes,
    and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Yahweh has sworn by his right hand,
    and by the arm of his strength,
“Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies,
    and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have labored,
but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise Yahweh.
    Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”

10 Go through, go through the gates!
    Prepare the way of the people!
Build up, build up the highway!
    Gather out the stones!
    Lift up a banner for the peoples.
11 Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth:
    “Say to the daughter of Zion,
    ‘Behold, your salvation comes!
Behold, his reward is with him,
    and his recompense before him!’”
12 They will call them “The Holy People,
    Yahweh’s Redeemed”.
You will be called “Sought Out,
    A City Not Forsaken”.
