62 Dahil sa mahal ko ang Jerusalem, hindi ako tatahimik hanggaʼt hindi dumarating ang kanyang tagumpay at katuwiran na parang nagbubukang-liwayway; at hanggang sa mapasakanya ang kanyang kaligtasan na parang nagniningas na sulo. O Jerusalem, makikita ng mga bansa at ng kanilang mga hari ang iyong tagumpay, katuwiran, at ang iyong kapangyarihan. Bibigyan ka ng Panginoon ng bagong pangalan. Ikaw ay magiging parang koronang maganda sa kamay ng Panginoon na iyong Dios. Hindi ka na tatawaging, “Itinakwil” o “Pinabayaan”. Ikaw ay tatawaging, “Kaligayahan ng Dios” o “Ikinasal sa Dios”, dahil nalulugod sa iyo ang Dios at para bang ikaw ay ikakasal sa kanya. Siya na lumikha sa iyo[a] ay magpapakasal sa iyo na parang isang binata na ikakasal sa isang birhen. At kung papaanong ang nobyo ay nagagalak sa kanyang nobya, ang iyong Dios ay nagagalak din sa iyo. Jerusalem, naglagay ako ng mga tagapagbantay sa iyong mga pader. Hindi sila titigil araw-gabi sa pagbibigay ng babala sa mga mamamayan mo.

Kayong mga nananalangin sa Panginoon, huwag kayong titigil sa inyong pananalangin. Huwag ninyong titigilan ang Panginoon hanggang sa itayo niyang muli ang Jerusalem at gawing lugar na kapuri-puri sa buong mundo. Nangako ang Panginoon na gagawin niya ito sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kapangyarihan. Sinabi niya, “Hindi ko na ipapakain ang inyong mga trigo sa inyong mga dayuhang kaaway. Hindi na rin nila maiinom ang mga bagong katas ng ubas na inyong pinaghirapan. Kayo mismong nag-aani ng trigo ang kakain nito, at pupurihin ninyo ako. Kayo mismong namimitas ng ubas ang iinom ng katas nito roon sa aking templo.”

10 Mga taga-Jerusalem, lumabas kayo sa pintuan ng inyong lungsod, at ihanda ninyo ang daraanan ng iba pa ninyong mga kababayan. Linisin ninyo ang kanilang daraanan. Alisin ninyo ang mga bato, at magtayo kayo ng bandila na nagpapahiwatig sa mga tao na pinauuwi na ng Panginoon ang kanyang mga mamamayan. 11 Makinig kayo! Nagpadala ng mensahe ang Panginoon sa buong mundo,[b] na nagsasabi, “Sabihin ninyo sa lahat ng taga-Israel na ang kanilang Tagapagligtas ay dumating na, at may dalang gantimpala. 12 Tatawagin silang ‘Banal’[c] at ‘Iniligtas ng Panginoon.’ At ang Jerusalem naman ay tatawaging, ‘Lungsod na Pinananabikan’ at ‘Lungsod na hindi na Pinabayaan.’ ”

Assurance of Zion’s Salvation

62 For Zion’s sake I will not [a]hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
(A)The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all (B)kings your glory.
(C)You shall be called by a new name,
Which the mouth of the Lord will name.
You shall also be (D)a crown of glory
In the hand of the Lord,
And a royal diadem
In the hand of your God.
(E)You shall no longer be termed (F)Forsaken,[b]
Nor shall your land any more be termed (G)Desolate;[c]
But you shall be called [d]Hephzibah, and your land [e]Beulah;
For the Lord delights in you,
And your land shall be married.
For as a young man marries a virgin,
So shall your sons marry you;
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
(H)So shall your God rejoice over you.

(I)I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall [f]never hold their peace day or night.
You who [g]make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem (J)a praise in the earth.

The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer (K)give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it (L)in My holy courts.”

10 Go through,
Go through the gates!
(M)Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
(N)Lift up a banner for the peoples!

11 Indeed the Lord has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
(O)“Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His (P)reward is with Him,
And His [h]work before Him.’ ”
12 And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the Lord;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.

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.
