62:1 我因锡安必不静默,为耶路撒冷必不息声,直到他的公义如光辉发出,他的救恩如明灯发亮。
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.
62:2 列国必见你的公义,列王必见你的荣耀。你必得新名的称呼,是耶和华亲口所起的。
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.
62:3 你在耶和华的手中要作为华冠,在你神的掌上必作为冕旒。
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
62:4 你必不再称为撇弃的,你的地也不再称为荒凉的,你却要称为我所喜悦的,你的地也必称为有夫之妇。因为耶和华喜悦你,你的地也必归他。
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
62:5 少年人怎样娶处女,你的众民(民原文作子)也要照样娶你。新郎怎样喜悦新妇,你的神也照样喜悦你。
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.
62:6 耶路撒冷阿,我在你城上设立守望的。他们昼夜必不静默。呼吁耶和华的,你们不要歇息,
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,
62:7 也不要使他歇息,直等他建立耶路撒冷,使耶路撒冷在地上成为可赞美的。
And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
62:8 耶和华指着自己的右手和大能的膀臂起誓,说,我必不再将你的五谷给你的仇敌作食物,外邦人也不再喝你劳碌得来的新酒。
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:
62:9 惟有那收割的要吃,并赞美耶和华。那聚敛的要在我圣所的院内喝。
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.
62:10 你们当从门经过经过。豫备百姓的路。修筑修筑大道。捡去石头。为万民竖立大旗。
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.
62:11 看哪,耶和华曾宣告到地极,对锡安的居民(原文作女子)说,你的拯救者来到。他的赏赐在他那里,他的报应在他面前。
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.
62:12 人必称他们为圣民,为耶和华的赎民。你也必称为被眷顾不撇弃的城。
And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
以赛亚书62参考
先知为国家不停祷告的精神,为我们树立了甚么榜样?
62:1-7 许多解经家认为第一节是以赛亚在宣讲。如果是这样的话,以赛亚对他的百姓的热情和他要看见拯救实现的愿望,使得他不停地祷告,希望以色列获救。这也是我们祷告说“愿你的国降临,愿你的旨意行在地上如同行在天上”的用意,为别人不断地祷告是件好事。
圣民──基督徒──圣洁的祭司……我自己配得这名吗?
62:12 耶路撒冷(锡安)的人将要有新的名字“圣民”和“耶和华的赎民”。今天的信徒也有新的名字──基督徒。在彼得前书2章5节,我们被称为“圣洁的祭司”。
