Isaiæ 52
1 Consurge, consurge, induere fortitudine tua Sion, induere vestimentis gloriae tuae Ierusalem civitas sancti: quia non adiiciet ultra ut pertranseat per te incircumcisus et immundus.
Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion, Put on the garments of thy beauty, Jerusalem — the Holy City; For enter no more into thee again, Do the uncircumcised and unclean.
2 Excutere de pulvere, consurge; sede Ierusalem: solve vincula colli tui captiva filia Sion.
Shake thyself from dust, arise, sit, O Jerusalem, Bands of thy neck have loosed themselves, O captive, daughter of Zion.
3 Quia haec dicit Dominus: Gratis venundati estis, et sine argento redimemini.
For thus said Jehovah: 'For nought ye have been sold, And not by money are ye redeemed.'
4 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: In Aegyptum descendit populus meus in principio ut colonus esset ibi: et Assur absque ulla causa calumniatus est eum.
For thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'To Egypt My people went down at first to sojourn there, And Asshur — for nought he hath oppressed it.
5 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.
And now, what — to Me here, An affirmation of Jehovah, That taken is My people for nought? Its rulers cause howling, — an affirmation of Jehovah, And continually all the day My name is despised.
6 Propter hoc sciet populus meus nomen meum in die illa: quia ego ipse qui loquebar, ecce adsum.
Therefore doth My people know My name, Therefore, in that day, Surely I [am] He who is speaking, behold Me.'
7 Quam pulchri super montes pedes annunciantis et praedicantis pacem: annunciantis bonum, praedicantis salutem, dicentis Sion: Regnabit Deus tuus!
How comely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, 'Reigned hath thy God.'
8 Vox speculatorum tuorum: levaverunt vocem, simul laudabunt: quia oculo ad oculum videbunt cum converterit Dominus Sion.
The voice of thy watchmen! They have lifted up the voice, together they cry aloud, Because eye to eye they see, in Jehovah's turning back [to] Zion.
9 Gaudete, et laudate simul deserta Ierusalem: quia consolatus est Dominus populum suum, redemit Ierusalem.
Break forth, sing together, O wastes of Jerusalem, For Jehovah hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Paravit Dominus brachium sanctum suum in oculis omnium Gentium: et videbunt omnes fines terrae salutare Dei nostri.
Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The salvation of our God.
11 Recedite, recedite, exite inde, pollutum nolite tangere: exite de medio eius, mundamini qui fertis vasa Domini.
Turn aside, turn aside, go out thence, The unclean touch not, go out from her midst, Be ye pure, who are bearing the weapons of Jehovah.
12 Quoniam non in tumultu exibitis, nec in fuga properabitis: praecedet enim vos Dominus, et congregabit vos Deus Israel.
For not in haste do ye go out, Yea, with flight ye go not on, For going before you [is] Jehovah, And gathering you [is] the God of Israel!
13 Ecce intelliget servus meus, exaltabitur, et elevabitur, et sublimis erit valde.
Lo, My servant doth act wisely, He is high, and hath been lifted up, And hath been very high.
14 Sicut obstupuerunt super te multi, sic inglorius erit inter viros aspectus eius, et forma eius inter filios hominum.
As astonished at thee have been many, (So marred by man his appearance, And his form by sons of men.)
15 Iste asperget gentes multas, super ipsum continebunt reges os suum: quia quibus non est narratum de eo, viderunt: et qui non audierunt, contemplati sunt.
So doth he sprinkle many nations. Concerning him kings shut their mouth, For that which was not recounted to them they have seen, And that which they had not heard they have understood!
