Isaiæ 52
1 consurge consurge induere fortitudine tua Sion induere vestimentis gloriae tuae Hierusalem civitas sancti quia non adiciet ultra ut pertranseat per te incircumcisus et inmundus
Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 excutere de pulvere consurge sede Hierusalem solve vincula colli tui captiva filia Sion
Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, captive daughter of Zion.
3 quia haec dicit Dominus gratis venundati estis et sine argento redimemini
For thus saith Jehovah: Ye have sold yourselves for nought, and ye shall be redeemed without money.
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 saith the Lord Jehovah: My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and Assyria oppressed them without cause;
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 have I here, saith Jehovah, that my people hath been taken away for nought? They that rule over them make them to howl, saith Jehovah; and continually all the day is my name scorned.
6 propter hoc sciet populus meus nomen meum in die illa quia ego ipse qui loquebar ecce adsum
Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore [they shall know] in that day that I [am] HE, that saith, Here am I.
7 quam pulchri super montes pedes adnuntiantis et praedicantis pacem adnuntiantis bonum praedicantis salutem dicentis Sion regnavit Deus tuus
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that announceth glad tidings, that publisheth peace; that announceth glad tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
8 vox speculatorum tuorum levaverunt vocem simul laudabunt quia oculum ad oculum videbunt cum converterit Dominus Sion
— The voice of thy watchmen, they lift up the voice, they sing aloud together; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah shall bring again Zion.
9 gaudete et laudate simul deserta Hierusalem quia consolatus est Dominus populum suum redemit Hierusalem
Break forth, sing aloud together, waste places of Jerusalem; for Jehovah comforteth 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 in the sight of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11 recedite recedite exite inde pollutum nolite tangere exite de medio eius mundamini qui fertis vasa Domini
— Depart, depart, go out from thence, touch not what is unclean; go out of the midst of her, be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Jehovah.
12 quoniam non in tumultu exibitis nec in fuga properabitis praecedet enim vos Dominus et congregabit vos Deus Israhel
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear-guard.
13 ecce intelleget servus meus exaltabitur et elevabitur et sublimis erit valde
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently; he shall be exalted and be lifted up, and be very high.
14 sicut obstipuerunt super te multi sic inglorius erit inter viros aspectus eius et forma eius inter filios hominum
As many were astonished at thee — his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the children 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 shall he astonish many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for what had not been told them shall they see, and what they had not heard shall they consider.
