1For the sake of Tziyon will I not hold my peace
and for the sake of Yerushalayim I will not remain quiet,
until her tzedek go forth like nogah (brightness),
and her Yeshu'ah (Salvation) like a blazing lapid (torch),

2And the Goyim shall see thy tzedek,
and kol melachim thy kavod;
and thou shalt be called by a shem chadash,
which the mouth of Hashem shall designate.

3Thou shalt also be an ateret tiferet
in the Yad Hashem,
and a tzanif melukhah (royal turban, diadem)
in the palm of thy G-d.

4Of thee it shalt no more be said, Azuvah (Forsaken);
neither of thy land shall it any more be said, Shemameh (Desolate);
but thou shalt be called Cheftzi-Vah, (My Delight is in her)
and thy land Beulah (Married):
for Hashem delighteth in thee,
and thy land shall be married.

5For as a bochur marrieth a betulah,
so shall thy banim marry thee;
and as the choson rejoiceth over the kallah,
so shall thy G-d rejoice over thee.

6I have set shomrim upon thy chomot, O Yerushalayim,
which shall never hold their peace yom nor lailah;
ye that remind Hashem, keep not silence,

7And give Him no rest,
until He establish, and until He make
Yerushalayim a tehillah (praise) in Ha'Aretz.

8Hashem hath sworn by His yamin,
and by the zero'a of His oz (might),
Surely I will no more give thy dagan
(grain) to be food for thine oyevim;
and the bnei nekhar shall not drink thy tirosh,
for the which thou hast toiled;

9But they that have harvested it shall eat it,
and praise Hashem;
and they that have gathered it in shall drink it
in the khatzerot (courtyards) of My Kodesh (Holy Place).

10Pass through, pass through the She'arim;
prepare ye the Derech HaAm;
Build up, build up the mesilah (highway);
gather out the even (stones);
lift up a nes (banner) [visible] over HaAmim (the Nations).

11Hinei, Hashem hath proclaimed
unto the ketzeh HaAretz (end of the Earth):
Say ye to Bat Tziyon, Hinei, thy Salvation cometh;
hinei, His sachar (reward) is with Him,
and His recompense before Him.

12And they shall call them, The Am HaKodesh,
the Geulei Hashem;
and thou shalt be called, Derushah (one being sought),
Ir Lo Ne'ezavah (City Not Deserted).
