Chapter 52

1

AWAKE, awake; put on your strength, O Tsiyon; put on your beautiful garments, O Yerushalayim, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.

2

Shake yourself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Yerushalayim: loose yourself from the bands of your neck, O captive daughter of Tsiyon.

3

For thus says Yahuah, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

4

For thus says Adonai Yahuah, My people went down aforetime into Mitsrayim to sojourn there; and Ashshur oppressed them without cause.

5

Now therefore, what have I here, says Yahuah, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, says Yahuah; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.

6

Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that speaks: behold, it is I.

7

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings the Besorah, that publishes peace; that brings good news of good, that publishes yeshu`ah; that says unto Tsiyon, Your Elohiym reigns!

8

Your watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when Yahuah shall bring again Tsiyon.

9

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Yerushalayim: for Yahuah has comforted his people, he has redeemed Yerushalayim.

10

Yahuah has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see את the yeshu`ah of our Elohiym.

11

Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Yahuah.

12

For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for Yahuah will go before you; and the Elohai of Yashar'el will be your rearward.

13

Behold, my Servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

14

As many were astonished at you; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

15

So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
