1For 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. 2And 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. 3Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 4Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.62.4 Hephzi-bah: that is, My delight is in her62.4 Beulah: that is, Married

6I 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,62.6 make…: or, are the LORD’s remembrancers 7And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.62.7 rest: Heb. silence 8The 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:62.8 Surely…: Heb.

10¶ 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. 11Behold, 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.62.11 work: or, recompence 12And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Dzina Latsopano la Ziyoni
1Chifukwa chokonda Ziyoni sindidzakhala chete,
chifukwa chokonda Yerusalemu sindidzakhala chete,
mpaka chilungamo chake chitaoneka poyera ngati kuwala,
ndi chipulumutso chake chitaoneka ngati sakali yoyaka.
2Mitundu ya anthu idzaona iwe utapambana pa nkhondo
ndipo mafumu onse adzaona ulemerero wako.
Adzakuyitanira dzina latsopano
limene adzakupatse ndi Yehova.
3Udzakhala ngati chipewa chaulemerero mʼdzanja la Yehova,
ndi ngati nduwira yaufumu mʼdzanja la Mulungu wako.
4Sadzakutchanso “Wosiyidwa,”
ndipo dziko lako silidzatchedwanso “Chipululu.”
Koma dzina lako latsopano lidzakhala “Ndakondwera naye.”
Ndipo dziko lako lidzatchedwa “Wokwatiwa.”
Chifukwa Yehova akukondwera nawe,
ndipo adzakhala ngati mwamuna wa dziko lako.
5Monga mnyamata amakwatira namwali,
momwenso mmisiri wodzakumanga adzakukwatira;
monga mkwati amakondwera ndi mkwatibwi,
chonchonso Mulungu adzakondwera nawe.
6Iwe Yerusalemu, pa malinga ako ndayikapo alonda;
sadzakhala chete usana kapena usiku.
Inu amene mumakumbutsa Yehova za malonjezo ake
musapumule.
7Musamupatse mpata wopuma mpaka atakhazikitsa Yerusalemu
kukhala mzinda umene dziko lapansi lidzawutamande.
8Yehova analumbira atakweza dzanja lake.
Anati,
“Sindidzaperekanso tirigu wako
kuti akhale chakudya cha adani ako,
ndipo alendo sadzamwanso vinyo wako watsopano
pakuti unamuvutikira.
9Koma amene amakakolola ndiwo amene adzadye buledi
ndi kutamanda Yehova,
ndipo amene amasonkhanitsa pamodzi mphesa ndiwo amene adzamwe vinyo
mʼmabwalo a Nyumba yanga.”
10Tulukani, dutsani pa zipata!
Konzerani anthu njira.
Lambulani, lambulani msewu waukulu!
Chotsani miyala.
Kwezani mbendera kuti mitundu ya anthu izione.
11Yehova walengeza
ku dziko lonse lapansi kuti,
Awuzeni anthu a ku Yerusalemu kuti,
“Taonani, chipulumutso chanu chikubwera;
Yehova akubwera ndi mphotho yake
akubwera nazo zokuyenerani.”
12Iwo adzatchedwa Anthu Opatulika,
owomboledwa a Yehova;
ndipo adzakutchani “Okondwa a Yehova”
“Mzinda umene Yehova sanawusiye.”
