< Isaiah 52 >

1 Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.
Awake awake put on strength your O Zion put on - [the] garments of beauty your O Jerusalem [the] city of holiness for not he will repeat he will come in you again an uncircumcised [man] and an unclean [person].
2 Make yourself clean from the dust; up! and take the seat of your power, O Jerusalem: the bands of your neck are loose, O prisoned daughter of Zion.
Shake yourself free from [the] dust arise sit O Jerusalem (loosen for yourself *Q(K)*) [the] fetters of neck your O captive [one] [the] daughter of Zion.
3 For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price.
For thus he says Yahweh for nothing you were sold and not with money you will be redeemed.
4 For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause.
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh Egypt it went down people my at the former [time] to sojourn there and Assyria for nothing it oppressed it.
5 Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.
And therefore (what? *Q(K)*) ([belongs] to me *Q(k)*) here [the] utterance of Yahweh that it was taken people my for nothing (rulers its *Q(K)*) they wail [the] utterance of Yahweh and continually all the day name my [is] reviled.
6 For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.
Therefore it will know people my name my therefore in the day that that I [am] he who is speaking here [am] I.
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!
How! they are beautiful on the mountains [the] feet of [one who] bears news [one who] proclaims peace [one who] bears news good [one who] proclaims salvation [one who] says to Zion he reigns God your.
8 The voice of your watchmen! their voices are loud in song together; for they will see him, eye to eye, when the Lord comes back to Zion.
[the] voice of Watchmen your they will lift up a voice together they will shout for joy for eye in eye they will see when returns Yahweh Zion.
9 Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.
Break forth shout for joy together O waste places of Jerusalem for he has comforted Yahweh people his he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has let his holy arm be seen by the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
He has bared Yahweh [the] arm of holiness his to [the] eyes of all the nations and they will see all [the] ends of [the] earth [the] salvation of God our.
11 Away! away! go out from there, touching no unclean thing; go out from among her; be clean, you who take up the vessels of the Lord.
Depart depart go out from there an unclean [thing] may not you touch go out from [the] midst of it purify yourselves O bearers of [the] vessels of Yahweh.
12 For you will not go out suddenly, and you will not go in flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will come after you to keep you.
For not in haste you will go out and in flight not you will go! for [will be] going before you Yahweh and [will be] rearguard your [the] God of Israel.
13 See, my servant will do well in his undertakings, he will be honoured, and lifted up, and be very high.
There! he will prosper servant my he will be high and he will be lifted up and he will be exalted exceedingly.
14 As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.
Just as they were appalled on you many [people] so [was] a disfigurement from a person appearance his and form his from [the] children of humankind.
15 So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears.
So he will startle nations many on him they will shut kings mouth their for [that] which not it had been recounted to them they will see and [that] which not they had heard they will understand.
