1 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. 2 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. 3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 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.
6 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, 7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 8 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: 9 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.
1 为了锡安的缘故我必不缄默, 为了耶路撒冷的缘故我决不静止, 直到它的公义如光辉发出, 它的救恩像明灯发亮。
2 列国必看见你的公义, 众王必看见你的荣耀; 人要给你起一个新名, 是耶和华亲口指定的。
3 你在耶和华的手中要作美丽的冠冕, 在你 神的掌上要作君王的华冠。
4 你必不再称为被撇弃的, 你的地也必不再称为荒凉的, 你却要称为我所喜悦的, 你的地也要称为有丈夫的, 因为耶和华喜悦你, 你的地也必有丈夫。
5 因为年轻人怎样娶处女, 那建造你的也必怎样娶你; 新郎怎样因新娘欢乐, 你的 神也必怎样因你欢乐。
6 耶路撒冷啊! 我在你的城墙上设立了守望的人; 他们昼夜都不缄默; 提耶和华之名的啊! 你们不要静止。
7 你们也不要让 神静止, 直至他建立耶路撒冷, 等到他使耶路撒冷在地上成为受人赞美的城。
8 耶和华指着自己的右手和他大能的膀臂起誓, 说: "我必不再把你的五谷给你的仇敌作食物, 外族人也必不再喝你劳碌所得的新酒;
9 唯有那些收割的人可以吃五谷, 并且赞美耶和华; 那些收集的人可以在我圣所的院子里喝新酒。"
10 你们要经过, 要从城门经过, 预备人民的道路; 你们要填高, 要填高大道。要捡去石头、向万民竖立旗帜。
11 看哪! 耶和华曾向地极的人宣告, 说: 你们要对锡安的居民("居民"原文作"女子")说: ‘看哪! 你的拯救者来到了。他给予人的赏赐在他那里, 他施予人的报应在他面前。’"
12 人必称他们为圣洁的子民, 为耶和华买赎回来的人; 你也必称为被爱慕的, 不被遗弃的城。
