Yeshayah (Isaiah) 52
52
1Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Tsiyon, put on your garments of splendour, O Yerushalayim, the set-apart city! For no more do the uncircumcised and the unclean come into you.
2Shake yourself from the dust, arise, and sit down, O Yerushalayim. Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Tsiyon!
3For thus said יהוה, “You have been sold for naught, and you are redeemed not with silver.”
4For thus said the Master יהוה, “At first My people went down into Mitsrayim to sojourn there, and Ashshur oppressed them without cause.
5“And now, what have I here,” declares יהוה, “that My people are taken away for naught? Those who rule over them make them wail,” declares יהוה, “and My Name is despised#See Psa. 74:10; Psa. 74:18; Exo. 20:7 and Deu. 5:11 all day continually.
6“Therefore My people shall know My Name, in that day, for I am the One who is speaking. See, it is I.”
7How pleasant upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings good news, who proclaims deliverance, who says to Tsiyon, “Your Elohim reigns!”
8The voice of your watchmen! They shall lift up their voices, together they shout for joy, because eye to eye they see the return of יהוה to Tsiyon.
9Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Yerushalayim! For יהוה shall comfort His people, He shall redeem Yerushalayim.
10יהוה shall lay bare His set-apart arm in the eyes of all the nations. And all the ends of the earth shall see the deliverance of our Elohim.
11Turn aside! Turn aside! Come out from there, touch not the unclean. Come out of her midst, be clean, you who bear the vessels of יהוה.
12For you shall not come out in haste, nor go in flight. For יהוה is going before you, and the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl is your rear guard.
13See, My Servant shall work wisely, He shall be exalted and lifted up and very high.
14As many were astonished at You – so the disfigurement beyond any man’s and His form beyond the sons of men –
15He shall likewise startle many nations. Sovereigns shut their mouths at Him, for what had not been recounted to them they shall see, and what they had not heard they shall understand.

Isaiah 52
52
Yahweh Redeems Zion
1Awake! Awake; put on your strength, Zion!
Put on the garments of your beauty, Jerusalem, holy city!#Literally “city of the holiness”
For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall not continue to#Literally “do again he shall” enter you any longer.
2Shake yourself free from the dust! Rise up; sit, Jerusalem!
Free yourselves from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
3For thus says Yahweh:
“You were sold for nothing,
and you shall be redeemed without money.”
4For thus says the Lord Yahweh:
“My people went down to Egypt in the beginning, to dwell as aliens there, and Assyria oppressed him without cause.#Literally “in nothing” 5And now what do I have here?”declares#Literally “declaration of” Yahweh, “for my people is taken without cause. Its rulers howl,” declares#Literally “declaration of” Yahweh—“and my name is reviled continually, all day. 6Therefore my people shall know my name, therefore in that day, that I am the one who speaks. Here am I.”#Literally “Look at me”
7How delightful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news,
who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns as a king.”
8The voices#Hebrew “voice” of your watchmen! They lift up their voices;#Hebrew “voice”
together they sing for joy;
for they clearly#Literally “eye in eye “ see Yahweh’s return to Zion.
9Break forth,
sing for joy together, ruins of Jerusalem,
for Yahweh has comforted his people;
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10Yahweh has bared his holy arm#Literally “the arm of his holiness” to the eyes of all the nations,
and all the ends#Hebrew “end” of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11Depart, depart, go out from there! You must not touch any unclean thing.
Go out from the midst of it, keep clean, you who carry the vessels of Yahweh.
12For you shall not go out in haste,
and you shall not go in flight,
for Yahweh is going before you,
and your rear guard is the God of Israel.
The Servant’s Suffering and Exaltation
13Look, my servant shall achieve success;
he shall be exalted,
and he shall be lifted up,
and he shall be very high.
14Just as many were appalled at you—
such was his appearance beyond human disfigurement,
and his form beyond the sons of mankind—
15so he shall sprinkle many nations;
because of him, kings shall shut their mouths.#Hebrew “mouth”
For they shall see what has not been told them,
and they shall consider with full attention what they have not heard.
