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 from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
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 Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will 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 the Lord Yahweh says: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has 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 Yahweh, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
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 who speaks. Behold, 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, who proclaims 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
Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when Yahweh returns to Zion.
9 gaudete et laudate simul deserta Hierusalem quia consolatus est Dominus populum suum redemit Hierusalem
Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh 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
Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have 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! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels.
12 quoniam non in tumultu exibitis nec in fuga properabitis praecedet enim vos Dominus et congregabit vos Deus Israhel
For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for Yahweh 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 will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will 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 he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.
