HOLY BIBLE: Isaiah 62 (original) (raw)

1 διὰ Σιων οὐ σιωπήσομαι καὶ διὰ Ιερουσαλημ οὐκ ἀνήσω ἕως ἂν ἐξέλθῃ ὡς φῶς ἡ δικαιοσύνη μου τὸ δὲ σωτήριόν μου ὡς λαμπὰς καυθήσεται 2 καὶ ὄψονται ἔθνη τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου καὶ βασιλεῖς τὴν δόξαν σου καὶ καλέσει σε τὸ ὄνομά σου τὸ καινόν ὃ ὁ κύριος ὀνομάσει αὐτό 3 καὶ ἔσῃ στέφανος κάλλους ἐν χειρὶ κυρίου καὶ διάδημα βασιλείας ἐν χειρὶ θεοῦ σου 4 καὶ οὐκέτι κληθήσῃ καταλελειμμένη καὶ ἡ γῆ σου οὐ κληθήσεται ἔρημος σοὶ γὰρ κληθήσεται θέλημα ἐμόν καὶ τῇ γῇ σου οἰκουμένη 5 καὶ ὡς συνοικῶν νεανίσκος παρθένῳ οὕτως κατοικήσουσιν οἱ υἱοί σου μετὰ σοῦ καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον εὐφρανθήσεται νυμφίος ἐπὶ νύμφῃ οὕτως εὐφρανθήσεται κύριος ἐπὶ σοί

1 For love of Sion I will no more be silent, for love of Jerusalem I will never rest, until he, the Just One, is revealed to her like the dawn, until he, her deliverer, shines out like a flame. 2 All the nations, all the kings of the nations, shall see him, the just, the glorious,[1] and a new name shall be given thee by the Lord’s own lips. 3 The Lord upholds thee, his crown, his pride; thy God upholds thee, his royal diadem. 4 No longer shall men call thee Forsaken, or thy land Desolate; thou shall be called My Beloved, and thy land a Home, now the Lord takes delight in thee, now thy land is populous once again.[2] 5 Gladly as a man takes home the maiden of his choice, thy sons shall come home to thee; gladly the Lord shall greet thee, as bridegroom his bride.

Propter Sion non tacebo,
et propter Jerusalem non quiescam,
donec egrediatur ut splendor justus ejus,
et salvator ejus ut lampas accendatur.

2
Et videbunt gentes justum tuum,
et cuncti reges inclytum tuum;
et vocabitur tibi nomen novum,
quod os Domini nominabit. 3
Et eris corona gloriæ in manu Domini,
et diadema regni in manu Dei tui. 4
Non vocaberis ultra Derelicta,
et terra tua non vocabitur amplius Desolata;
sed vocaberis, Voluntas mea in ea,
et terra tua Inhabitata,
quia complacuit Domino in te,
et terra tua inhabitabitur. 5
Habitabit enim juvenis cum virgine,
et habitabunt in te filii tui;
et gaudebit sponsus super sponsam,
et gaudebit super te Deus tuus.

[1] Instead of ‘Just One’, ‘the just’ and ‘the glorious’, the Hebrew text has ‘justice’ (i.e. redress, restoration), ‘deliverance’ and ‘glory’.

[2] In the Hebrew text, the land is to be called not ‘a Home’, but ‘a Wife’, and it is to be ‘espoused’, not ‘populous’, once again.

[3] ‘Keep the Lord in remembrance’; that is, according to the Latin version, remember him; according to the Hebrew text, remind him (of his promises).

[4] See note on 40.10 above.
