Isaiah 52
Revised Literal Translation
1AwakeH5782, awakeH5782; put onH3847 thy strengthH5797, O ZionH6726; put onH3847 thy beautifulH8597 garmentsH899, O JerusalemH3389, the holyH6944 cityH5892: for henceforth there shall no moreH3254 comeH935 into thee the uncircumcisedH6189 and the uncleanH2931. 2ShakeH5287 thyself from the dustH6083; ariseH6965, and sit downH3427, O JerusalemH3389: looseH6605 thyself from the bandsH4147 of thy neckH6677, O captiveH7628 daughterH1323 of ZionH6726. 3For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Ye have soldH4376 yourselves for noughtH2600; and ye shall be redeemedH1350 without moneyH3701. 4For thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069, My peopleH5971 went downH3381 aforetimeH7223 into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there; and the AssyrianH804 oppressedH6231 them without causeH657. 5Now therefore, what have I here, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that my peopleH5971 is taken awayH3947 for noughtH2600? they that ruleH4910 over them make them to howlH3213, saithH5002 YhwhH3068; and my nameH8034 continuallyH8548 every dayH3117 is blasphemedH5006. 6Therefore my peopleH5971 shall knowH3045 my nameH8034: therefore they shall know in that dayH3117 that I am he that doth speakH1696: behold, it is I.
7How beautifulH4998 upon the mountainsH2022 are the feetH7272 of him that bringeth good tidingsH1319, that publishethH8085 peaceH7965; that bringeth good tidingsH1319 of goodH2896, that publishethH8085 salvationH3444; that saithH559 unto ZionH6726, Thy GodH430 reignethH4427! 8Thy watchmenH6822 shall lift upH5375 the voiceH6963; with the voiceH6963 togetherH3162 shall they singH7442: for they shall seeH7200 eyeH5869 to eyeH5869, when YhwhH3068 shall bring againH7725 ZionH6726.
9Break forth into joyH6476, singH7442 togetherH3162, ye waste placesH2723 of JerusalemH3389: for YhwhH3068 hath comfortedH5162 his peopleH5971, he hath redeemedH1350 JerusalemH3389. 10YhwhH3068 hath made bareH2834 his holyH6944 armH2220 in the eyesH5869 of all the nationsH1471; and all the endsH657 of the earthH776 shall seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of our GodH430.
11DepartH5493 ye, departH5493 ye, go ye outH3318 from thence, touchH5060 no uncleanH2931 thing; go ye outH3318 of the midstH8432 of her; be ye cleanH1305, that bearH5375 the vesselsH3627 of YhwhH3068. 12For ye shall not go outH3318 with hasteH2649, nor goH3212 by flightH4499: for YhwhH3068 will goH1980 beforeH6440 you; and the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 will be your rerewardH622.1
13Behold, my servantH5650 shall deal prudentlyH7919, he shall be exaltedH7311 and extolledH5375, and be veryH3966 highH1361.2 14As manyH7227 were astoniedH8074 at thee; his visageH4758 was so marredH4893 more than any manH376, and his formH8389 more than the sonsH1121 of menH120: 15So shall he sprinkleH5137 manyH7227 nationsH1471; the kingsH4428 shall shutH7092 their mouthsH6310 at him: for that which had not been toldH5608 them shall they seeH7200; and that which they had not heardH8085 shall they considerH995.
