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, put on your strength, O Zion, Put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem—the Holy City; For the uncircumcised and unclean no longer enter into you again.

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 yourself from dust, arise, sit, O Jerusalem, Bands of your neck have loosed themselves, O captive daughter of Zion.

3 For thus he says Yahweh for nothing you were sold and not with money you will be redeemed.

For thus said YHWH: “You have been sold for nothing, And you are redeemed without money.”

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.

For thus said Lord YHWH: “My people went down at first To Egypt to sojourn there, And Asshur—he has oppressed it for nothing.

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, what [have] I here,” A declaration of YHWH, “That My people are taken for nothing? Its rulers cause howling,” A declaration of YHWH, “And My Name is continually despised all the day.

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 My people know My Name, Therefore, in that day, Surely I [am] He who is speaking, behold Me.”

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.

How lovely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, “Your God has reigned.”

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.

The voice of your watchmen! They have lifted up the voice, together they cry aloud, Because they see eye to eye, In YHWH’s turning back [to] Zion.

9 Break forth shout for joy together O waste places of Jerusalem for he has comforted Yahweh people his he has redeemed Jerusalem.

Break forth, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, For YHWH has comforted His people, He has redeemed 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.

YHWH has made His holy arm bare Before the eyes of all the nations, And all the ends of the earth have seen The salvation of 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.

Turn aside, turn aside, go out from there, Do not touch the unclean, Go out from her midst, Be pure, who are carrying the weapons of YHWH.

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 do not go out in haste, Indeed, you do not go on with flight, For YHWH [is] going before you, And the God of Israel [is] gathering you!

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 acts wisely, He is high, and has been lifted up, And has been very high.”

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 have been astonished at You (His appearance so marred by man, And His form by 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.

So He sprinkles many nations. Kings shut their mouth concerning Him, For that which was not recounted to them they have seen, And that which they had not heard they have understood!
