Isaías 62— comparação

1Por amor de Sião eu não me calarei,

2As nações verão a sua justiça,

3Você também será uma coroa de beleza na mão do SENHOR,

4Você não será mais chamada de Desamparada,

5Pois assim como um jovem se casa com uma virgem,

6Coloquei sentinelas sobre os seus muros, Jerusalém.

7e não lhe deem descanso até que ele estabeleça,

8O SENHOR jurou por sua mão direita,

9mas aqueles que o colheram o comerão, e louvarão ao SENHOR.

10Passem, passem pelos portões!

11Eis que o SENHOR proclamou até os confins da terra:

12Eles os chamarão de “O Povo Santo,

1For 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.

2The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which Yahweh’s mouth will name.

3You will also be a crown of beauty in Yahweh’s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.

4You will not be called Forsaken any more, nor will your land be called Desolate any more; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for Yahweh delights in you, and your land will be married.

5For 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.

6I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on Yahweh, take no rest,

7and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8Yahweh 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,

9but 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.”

10Go 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.

11Behold, 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!’”

12They will call them “The Holy People, Yahweh’s Redeemed”. You will be called “Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken”.
