Isaiah 52
1 Wake up, wake up, Zion! Be strong! Put on your best clothes, Jerusalem, the holy city. Heathen foreigners won't ever enter you again.
consurge consurge induere fortitudine tua Sion induere vestimentis gloriae tuae Hierusalem civitas sancti quia non adiciet ultra ut pertranseat per te incircumcisus et inmundus
2 Shake yourself free from the dust and get up. Sit on your throne, Jerusalem. Throw off the chains around your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
excutere de pulvere consurge sede Hierusalem solve vincula colli tui captiva filia Sion
3 This is what the Lord says: You were sold for nothing, and you will be bought back without money.
quia haec dicit Dominus gratis venundati estis et sine argento redimemini
4 This is what the Lord God says: First of all, my people went to live in Egypt, then Assyria conquered them for no reason.
quia haec dicit Dominus Deus in Aegyptum descendit populus meus in principio ut colonus esset ibi et Assur absque ulla causa calumniatus est eum
5 What do have I to do now? asks the Lord. My people have been taken into captivity for no reason. Those who rule them mock them, and I'm treated with contempt that whole time, says the Lord.
et nunc quid mihi est hic dicit Dominus quoniam ablatus est populus meus gratis dominatores eius inique agunt dicit Dominus et iugiter tota die nomen meum blasphematur
6 So I'm going to make sure my people know me; at that time they will know that I am the one who means what he says. Yes, it's me!
propter hoc sciet populus meus nomen meum in die illa quia ego ipse qui loquebar ecce adsum
7 What a wonderful sight in the mountains is the one running to bring good news, announcing peace and good news, announcing salvation, telling Zion, “Your God reigns!”
quam pulchri super montes pedes adnuntiantis et praedicantis pacem adnuntiantis bonum praedicantis salutem dicentis Sion regnavit Deus tuus
8 The city watchmen shout loudly and sing for joy together; they all see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.
vox speculatorum tuorum levaverunt vocem simul laudabunt quia oculum ad oculum videbunt cum converterit Dominus Sion
9 Let Jerusalem's ruins all sing for joy for the Lord has come to care for his people; he has set Jerusalem free.
gaudete et laudate simul deserta Hierusalem quia consolatus est Dominus populum suum redemit Hierusalem
10 The Lord has demonstrated his holy power to all the nations; the whole world will see our God's salvation.
paravit Dominus brachium sanctum suum in oculis omnium gentium et videbunt omnes fines terrae salutare Dei nostri
11 Leave, leave, get out of there! Don't bring anything pagan; come out and leave it all behind. Those of you who carry the Lord's sacred articles are to purify yourselves.
recedite recedite exite inde pollutum nolite tangere exite de medio eius mundamini qui fertis vasa Domini
12 But don't leave in a hurry, don't be in a rush as if you're running away, for the Lord will go ahead of you, and he will also protect those at the back.
quoniam non in tumultu exibitis nec in fuga properabitis praecedet enim vos Dominus et congregabit vos Deus Israhel
13 Look: my servant will act wisely; he will be praised highly, he will be elevated in position, and seen as someone people look up to.
ecce intelleget servus meus exaltabitur et elevabitur et sublimis erit valde
14 But many were horrified by him, so disfigured in appearance, no longer looking like a man, so unlike anyone human.
sicut obstipuerunt super te multi sic inglorius erit inter viros aspectus eius et forma eius inter filios hominum
15 He will surprise many nations, and kings will keep quiet because of him—for they'll see what they haven't been told, and they'll understand what they hadn't heard.
iste asperget gentes multas super ipsum continebunt reges os suum quia quibus non est narratum de eo viderunt et qui non audierunt contemplati sunt
