< Ézsaiás 52 >
1 Serkenj föl, serkenj föl, öltözd fel erősségedet, Sion, öltözzél fel ékességed ruháiba, Jeruzsálem, szent város, mert nem lép te beléd többé körülmetéletlen, tisztátalan!
[You people who live in the] holy city of Jerusalem [APO], wake up! Be strong again! Show that [MTY] your city is beautiful and glorious; foreigners who do not believe in God will not enter your city again [to attack you].
2 Rázd ki magad a porból, kelj fel, ülj fel Jeruzsálem, oldd ki magadat nyakad bilincseiből, Sion fogoly leánya!
People of Jerusalem, get up from [humbly] sitting in the dust and sit in places where people are honored! You people who have returned from being exiled, take off from your neck the chains which were fastened around you [as slaves in Babylonia],
3 Mert így szól az Úr Isten: Ingyen adattatok el, és nem pénzen váltattok meg!
because this is what Yahweh says: “[When you were taken to Babylonia], no one paid me for doing that. So now I will bring you back without [being required to] pay for you!”
4 Mert így szól az Úr Isten: Égyiptomba ment alá népem először, hogy ott bujdossék, és azután Assiria nyomorgatá őt ok nélkül.
Yahweh [our] Lord [also] says this: “Long ago, my people went to Egypt to live there. [Later] they were being (oppressed/treated cruelly) by [the soldiers of] Assyria.
5 És most mit tegyek itt? szól az Úr, hiszen népem elvitetett ok nélkül, és a rajta uralkodók ujjonganak, szól az Úr, és nevem szüntelen mindennap gúnyoltatik.
But now think about what is happening: My people are being forced to be slaves again, this time by the [people of Babylonia]. And [those who have conquered them this time have also] paid me nothing, and they despise me [MTY] continually [DOU].
6 Ezért hadd ismerje meg népem az én nevemet, ezért ama napon! Hogy én vagyok, a ki mondom: Ímé, itt vagyok!
But my people will then have a close relationship with [MTY] me, and when that happens, they will know that I am the one who predicted/promised [that it would happen]. It is I, [Yahweh, who will do it].”
7 Mily szépek a hegyeken az örömmondónak lábai, a ki békességet hirdet, jót mond, szabadulást hirdet, a ki ezt mondja Sionnak: Uralkodik a te Istened!
It is a wonderful thing when messengers [MTY] arrive on the mountains/hills, bringing good news, the news about [God giving us] peace and saving us, the news that the God to whom we [Israeli people] belong is now ruling/king!
8 Halld őrállóidat! felemelik szavokat, ujjonganak egyetemben, mert szemtől-szembe látják, hogy mint hozza vissza Siont az Úr!
The watchmen [who are guarding the city] will shout and sing joyfully, because while they are watching they will see Yahweh returning to Jerusalem.
9 Ujjongva énekeljetek mindnyájan, Jeruzsálem romjai, mert megvígasztalá az Úr népét, megváltá Jeruzsálemet.
Jerusalem has been ruined, but the people who are there now should start to sing joyfully, because Yahweh will encourage his people; he will set his people free and bring them back to Jerusalem.
10 Feltűrte az Úr szent karját minden népeknek szemei előtt, hogy lássák a föld minden határai Istenünk szabadítását!
Yahweh will show all the nations that he is holy and powerful. People in the most remote/distant places on earth will know that he has rescued his people.
11 Távozzatok, távozzatok, jertek ki, onnan, tisztátalant ne illessetek, jertek ki közülök, tisztítsátok meg magatokat, a kik az Úr edényeit hordozzátok.
So, leave [the places where you were taken to when you were captured], where [everything is] unacceptable to God. You men who carry the items used for the worship of Yahweh, leave there [and return to Jerusalem], and purify yourselves [in order to be acceptable to worship God].
12 Mert ne sietséggel jertek ki, és ne futással menjetek; mert előttetek megy az Úr, és követni fog Izráel Istene!
But it will not [be necessary] for you to leave suddenly, to flee in panic, because Yahweh will (go in front of/lead) you; and he will [also] protect you [from being attacked] at the rear [while you travel].
13 Ímé, jó szerencsés lesz szolgám, magasságos, felséges és dicső lesz nagyon.
[Yahweh says], “Listen carefully! My servant will act wisely (OR, do the right things to accomplish what he wants to), and I will highly exalt him.”
14 Miképen eliszonyodtak tőled sokan, oly rút, nem emberi volt ábrázatja, és alakja sem ember fiaié volt:
But many people will be appalled when they see what has happened to him. [Because of his being beaten very badly], his appearance will be changed; people will hardly recognize that he is a human.
15 Akképen ejt ámulatba sok népeket; fölötte a királyok befogják szájokat, mert a mit nékik nem beszéltek volt, azt látják, és mit nem hallottak volt, arra figyelnek.
But he will cause [people of] many nations to be surprised; [even] kings will be silent when they stand in front of him, because they will see someone that no one had told them about [previously], and they will understand things that they had not heard about [before].
