1 For 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),

2 And 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.

3 Thou shalt also be an ateret tiferet

in the Yad Hashem,

and a tzanif melukhah (royal turban, diadem)

in the palm of thy G-d.

4 Of 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.

5 For 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.

6 I have set shomrim upon thy chomot, O Yerushalayim,

which shall never hold their peace yom nor lailah;

ye that remind Hashem, keep not silence,

7 And give Him no rest,

until He establish, and until He make

Yerushalayim a tehillah (praise) in Ha'Aretz.

8 Hashem 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;

9 But 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).

10 Pass 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).

11 Hinei, 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.

12 And 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).
