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.

1

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.

6 καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν τειχέων σου Ιερουσαλημ κατέστησα φύλακας ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα οἳ διὰ τέλους οὐ σιωπήσονται μιμνῃσκόμενοι κυρίου 7 οὐκ ἔστιν γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅμοιος ἐὰν διορθώσῃ καὶ ποιήσῃ Ιερουσαλημ ἀγαυρίαμα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς 8 ὤμοσεν κύριος κατὰ τῆς δεξιᾶς αὐτοῦ καὶ κατὰ τῆς ἰσχύος τοῦ βραχίονος αὐτοῦ εἰ ἔτι δώσω τὸν σῖτόν σου καὶ τὰ βρώματά σου τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου καὶ εἰ ἔτι πίονται υἱοὶ ἀλλότριοι τὸν οἶνόν σου ἐ{F'} ᾧ ἐμόχθησας 9 ἀλ{L'} ἢ οἱ συνάγοντες φάγονται αὐτὰ καὶ αἰνέσουσιν κύριον καὶ οἱ συνάγοντες πίονται αὐτὰ ἐν ταῖς ἐπαύλεσιν ταῖς ἁγίαις μου

6 I have set watchmen, Jerusalem, upon thy walls, that shall never cease crying aloud, day or night; you that keep the Lord in remembrance,[3] take no rest, 7 nor let him rest neither, till he has restored Jerusalem, spread her fame over all the earth. 8 The Lord has sworn by his own right hand, by that arm which makes known his power: Never again shall thy enemies eat the harvest of thy corn-fields, alien folk drink the wine thou hast toiled to win; 9 harvester and waggoner, here in my precincts, shall eat and drink together, praising the Lord.

6
Super muros tuos, Jerusalem, constitui custodes;
tota die et tota nocte
in perpetuum non tacebunt.
Qui reminiscimini Domini, ne taceatis, 7
et ne detis silentium ei,
donec stabiliat et donec ponat Jerusalem
laudem in terra. 8
Juravit Dominus in dextera sua,
et in brachio fortitudinis suæ:
Si dedero triticum tuum ultra
cibum inimicis tuis;
et si biberint filii alieni vinum tuum
in quo laborasti. 9
Quia qui congregant illud, comedent,
et laudabunt Dominum;
et qui comportant illud, bibent
in atriis sanctis meis.

10 πορεύεσθε διὰ τῶν πυλῶν μου καὶ ὁδοποιήσατε τῷ λαῷ μου καὶ τοὺς λίθους τοὺς ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ διαρρίψατε ἐξάρατε σύσσημον εἰς τὰ ἔθνη 11 ἰδοὺ γὰρ κύριος ἐποίησεν ἀκουστὸν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς εἴπατε τῇ θυγατρὶ Σιων ἰδού σοι ὁ σωτὴρ παραγίνεται ἔχων τὸν ἑαυτοῦ μισθὸν καὶ τὸ ἔργον πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ 12 καὶ καλέσει αὐτὸν λαὸν ἅγιον λελυτρωμένον ὑπὸ κυρίου σὺ δὲ κληθήσῃ ἐπιζητουμένη πόλις καὶ οὐκ ἐγκαταλελειμμένη

10 Out, out through the city gates! Give my people free passage; a road, there, a smooth road, away with the boulders on it! Raise a signal for all the nations to see. 11 To the furthest corners of the earth the Lord proclaims it, A message to queen Sion: Look, where thy deliverer comes, look, how they come with him, the reward of his labour, the achievement of his task![4] 12 A holy people they shall be called, of the Lord’s ransoming, and thou the city of his choice, no more forsaken.

10
Transite, transite per portas,
præparate viam populo:
planum facite iter, eligite lapides,
et elevate signum ad populos. 11
Ecce Dominus auditum fecit
in extremis terræ:
Dicite filiæ Sion:
Ecce Salvator tuus venit;
ecce merces ejus cum eo,
et opus ejus coram illo. 12
Et vocabunt eos, Populus sanctus,
redempti a Domino;
tu autem vocaberis, Quæsita civitas,
et non Derelicta.

[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.
