Yeshayah 62

1For the sake of Tziyon will I not hold my peace

and for the sake of Yerushalayim I will not remain quiet,

until her tzedek go forth like nogah (brightness) ,

and her Yeshu'ah (Salvation) like a blazing lapid (torch) ,

2And the Goyim shall see thy tzedek,

and kol melachim thy kavod;

and thou shalt be called by a shem chadash,

which the mouth of Hashem shall designate.

3Thou shalt also be an ateret tiferet

in the Yad Hashem ,

and a tzanif melukhah (royal turban, diadem)

in the palm of thy G-d.

4Of thee it shalt no more be said, Azuvah (Forsaken) ;

neither of thy land shall it any more be said, Shemameh (Desolate) ;

but thou shalt be called Cheftzi-Vah, (My Delight is in her)

and thy land Beulah (Married) :

for Hashem delighteth in thee,

and thy land shall be married.

5For as a bochur marrieth a betulah,

so shall thy banim marry thee;

and as the choson rejoiceth over the kallah,

so shall thy G-d rejoice over thee.

6I have set shomrim upon thy chomot, O Yerushalayim,

which shall never hold their peace yom nor lailah;

ye that remind Hashem , keep not silence,

7And give Him no rest,

until He establish, and until He make

Yerushalayim a tehillah (praise) in Ha'Aretz.

8Hashem hath sworn by His yamin,

and by the zero'a of His oz (might) ,

Surely I will no more give thy dagan

(grain) to be food for thine oyevim;

and the bnei nekhar shall not drink thy tirosh,

for the which thou hast toiled;

9But they that have harvested it shall eat it,

and praise Hashem ;

and they that have gathered it in shall drink it

in the khatzerot (courtyards) of My Kodesh (Holy Place) .

10Pass through, pass through the She'arim;

prepare ye the Derech HaAm;

Build up, build up the mesilah (highway) ;

gather out the even (stones) ;

lift up a nes (banner) [visible] over HaAmim (the Nations) .

11Hinei, Hashem hath proclaimed

unto the ketzeh HaAretz (end of the Earth) :

Say ye to Bat Tziyon, Hinei, thy Salvation cometh;

hinei, His sachar (reward) is with Him,

and His recompense before Him.

12And they shall call them, The Am HaKodesh,

the Geulei Hashem ;

and thou shalt be called, Derushah (one being sought) ,

Ir Lo Ne'ezavah (City Not Deserted) .
