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 your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for there shall no more enter into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.

2 excutere de pulvere consurge sede Hierusalem solve vincula colli tui captiva filia Sion

Shake yourself from the dust. Arise, sit up, Jerusalem. Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.

3 quia haec dicit Dominus gratis venundati estis et sine argento redimemini

For thus says Jehovah, "You were sold for nothing; and you 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 says Jehovah, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there, and the Assyrian 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

"Now therefore, what do I do here," says Jehovah, "seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock," says Jehovah. "Because of you, my name is continually all the day blasphemed among the nations.

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; in that day they will know that I am he who speaks; look, it is I."

7 quam pulchri super montes pedes adnuntiantis et praedicantis pacem adnuntiantis bonum praedicantis salutem dicentis Sion regnavit Deus tuus

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good things, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."

8 vox speculatorum tuorum levaverunt vocem simul laudabunt quia oculum ad oculum videbunt cum converterit Dominus Sion

The voice of your watchmen. They lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah returns to Zion with compassion.

9 gaudete et laudate simul deserta Hierusalem quia consolatus est Dominus populum suum redemit Hierusalem

Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Jehovah has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.

10 paravit Dominus brachium sanctum suum in oculis omnium gentium et videbunt omnes fines terrae salutare Dei nostri

Jehovah has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and every part of the earth has seen 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 there, and touch no unclean thing. Go out from their midst, and be separate, you who 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 you shall not depart in haste, nor shall you leave in 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

Look, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.

14 sicut obstipuerunt super te multi sic inglorius erit inter viros aspectus eius et forma eius inter filios hominum

Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the 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 shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which was not told about him, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
