יְשַׁעְיָהוּ 52

1 עוּרִ֥י עוּרִ֛י לִבְשִׁ֥י עֻזֵּ֖ךְ צִיֹּ֑ון לִבְשִׁ֣י ׀ בִּגְדֵ֣י תִפְאַרְתֵּ֗ךְ יְרוּשָׁלַ֙͏ִם֙ עִ֣יר הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ כִּ֣י לֹ֥א יֹוסִ֛יף יָבֹא־בָ֥ךְ עֹ֖וד עָרֵ֥ל וְטָמֵֽא׃

Wake up, wake up, Zion! Be strong! Put on your best clothes, Jerusalem, the holy city. Heathen foreigners won't ever enter you again.

2 הִתְנַעֲרִ֧י מֵעָפָ֛ר ק֥וּמִי שְּׁבִ֖י יְרֽוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם הִתְפַּתְּחוּ (הִֽתְפַּתְּחִי֙) מֹוסְרֵ֣י צַוָּארֵ֔ךְ שְׁבִיָּ֖ה בַּת־צִיֹּֽון׃ ס

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.

3 כִּֽי־כֹה֙ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה חִנָּ֖ם נִמְכַּרְתֶּ֑ם וְלֹ֥א בְכֶ֖סֶף תִּגָּאֵֽלוּ׃

This is what the Lord says: You were sold for nothing, and you will be bought back without money.

4 כִּ֣י כֹ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה מִצְרַ֛יִם יָֽרַד־עַמִּ֥י בָרִֽאשֹׁנָ֖ה לָג֣וּר שָׁ֑ם וְאַשּׁ֖וּר בְּאֶ֥פֶס עֲשָׁקֹֽו׃

This is what the Lord God says: First of all, my people went to live in Egypt, then Assyria conquered them for no reason.

5 וְעַתָּ֤ה מִי־לִי־ (מַה־לִּי)־פֹה֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה כִּֽי־לֻקַּ֥ח עַמִּ֖י חִנָּ֑ם מֹשְׁלֹו (מֹשְׁלָ֤יו) יְהֵילִ֙ילוּ֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה וְתָמִ֥יד כָּל־הַיֹּ֖ום שְׁמִ֥י מִנֹּאָֽץ׃

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.

6 לָכֵ֛ן יֵדַ֥ע עַמִּ֖י שְׁמִ֑י לָכֵן֙ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֔וּא כִּֽי־אֲנִי־ה֥וּא הַֽמְדַבֵּ֖ר הִנֵּֽנִי׃

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!

7 מַה־נָּאו֨וּ עַל־הֶהָרִ֜ים רַגְלֵ֣י מְבַשֵּׂ֗ר מַשְׁמִ֧יעַ שָׁלֹ֛ום מְבַשֵּׂ֥ר טֹ֖וב מַשְׁמִ֣יעַ יְשׁוּעָ֑ה אֹמֵ֥ר לְצִיֹּ֖ון מָלַ֥ךְ אֱלֹהָֽיִךְ׃

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!”

8 קֹ֥ול צֹפַ֛יִךְ נָ֥שְׂאוּ קֹ֖ול יַחְדָּ֣ו יְרַנֵּ֑נוּ כִּ֣י עַ֤יִן בְּעַ֙יִן֙ יִרְא֔וּ בְּשׁ֥וּב יְהוָ֖ה צִיֹּֽון׃

The city watchmen shout loudly and sing for joy together; they all see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.

9 פִּצְח֤וּ רַנְּנוּ֙ יַחְדָּ֔ו חָרְבֹ֖ות יְרוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם כִּֽי־נִחַ֤ם יְהוָה֙ עַמֹּ֔ו גָּאַ֖ל יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃

Let Jerusalem's ruins all sing for joy for the Lord has come to care for his people; he has set Jerusalem free.

10 חָשַׂ֤ף יְהוָה֙ אֶת־זְרֹ֣ועַ קָדְשֹׁ֔ו לְעֵינֵ֖י כָּל־הַגֹּויִ֑ם וְרָאוּ֙ כָּל־אַפְסֵי־אָ֔רֶץ אֵ֖ת יְשׁוּעַ֥ת אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ ס

The Lord has demonstrated his holy power to all the nations; the whole world will see our God's salvation.

11 ס֤וּרוּ ס֙וּרוּ֙ צְא֣וּ מִשָּׁ֔ם טָמֵ֖א אַל־תִּגָּ֑עוּ צְא֣וּ מִתֹּוכָ֔הּ הִבָּ֕רוּ נֹשְׂאֵ֖י כְּלֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

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.

12 כִּ֣י לֹ֤א בְחִפָּזֹון֙ תֵּצֵ֔אוּ וּבִמְנוּסָ֖ה לֹ֣א תֵלֵכ֑וּן כִּֽי־הֹלֵ֤ךְ לִפְנֵיכֶם֙ יְהוָ֔ה וּמְאַסִּפְכֶ֖ם אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ס

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.

13 הִנֵּ֥ה יַשְׂכִּ֖יל עַבְדִּ֑י יָר֧וּם וְנִשָּׂ֛א וְגָבַ֖הּ מְאֹֽד׃

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.

14 כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר שָׁמְמ֤וּ עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ רַבִּ֔ים כֵּן־מִשְׁחַ֥ת מֵאִ֖ישׁ מַרְאֵ֑הוּ וְתֹאֲרֹ֖ו מִבְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃

But many were horrified by him, so disfigured in appearance, no longer looking like a man, so unlike anyone human.

15 כֵּ֤ן יַזֶּה֙ גֹּויִ֣ם רַבִּ֔ים עָלָ֛יו יִקְפְּצ֥וּ מְלָכִ֖ים פִּיהֶ֑ם כִּ֠י אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹֽא־סֻפַּ֤ר לָהֶם֙ רָא֔וּ וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־שָׁמְע֖וּ הִתְבֹּונָֽנוּ׃

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.
