< Isaiah 52 >

1 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].
Awake, awake, Sion; put on your strength, O Sion; and o you put on your glory, Jerusalem the holy city: there shall no more pass through you, the uncircumcised and unclean.
2 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.
Shake off the dust and arise; sit down, Jerusalem: put off the band of your neck, captive daughter of Sion.
3 For thus he says Yahweh for nothing you were sold and not with money you will be redeemed.
For thus says the Lord, You have been sold for nothing; and you shall not be ransomed with silver.
4 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.
Thus says the Lord, My people went down before to Egypt to sojourn there; and were carried away forcibly to the Assyrians.
5 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.
And now why are you here? Thus says the Lord, Because my people was taken for nothing, wonder you and howl. Thus says the Lord, On account of you my name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.
6 Therefore it will know people my name my therefore in the day that that I [am] he who is speaking here [am] I.
Therefore shall my people know my name in that day, for I am he that speaks: I am present,
7 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.
as a season of beauty upon the mountains, as the feet of one preaching glad tidings of peace, as one preaching good news: for I will publish your salvation, saying, O Sion, your God shall reign.
8 [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.
For the voice of them that guard you is exalted, and with the voice together they shall rejoice: for eyes shall look to eyes, when the Lord shall have mercy upon Sion.
9 Break forth shout for joy together O waste places of Jerusalem for he has comforted Yahweh people his he has redeemed Jerusalem.
Let the waste places of Jerusalem break forth [in] joy together, because the Lord has had mercy upon her, and has delivered Jerusalem.
10 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.
And the Lord shall reveal his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation that [comes] from our God.
11 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.
Depart you, depart, go out from thence, and touch not the unclean thing; go you out from the midst of her; separate yourselves, you that bear the vessels of the Lord.
12 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.
For you shall not go forth with tumult, neither go by flight: for the Lord shall go first in advance of you; and the God of Israel shall be he that brings up your rear.
13 There! he will prosper servant my he will be high and he will be lifted up and he will be exalted exceedingly.
Behold, my servant shall understand, and be exalted, and glorified exceedingly.
14 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.
As many shall be amazed at you, so shall your face be without glory from men, and your glory [shall not be honored] by the sons of men.
15 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.
Thus shall many nations wonder at him; and kings shall keep their mouths shut: for they to whom no report was brought concerning him, shall see; and they who have not heard, shall consider.
