Liberación para Jerusalén

52 ¡Despierta, oh Sion, despierta!
    Vístete de fuerza.
Ponte tus ropas hermosas, oh ciudad santa de Jerusalén,
    porque ya no volverá a entrar por tus puertas la gente impura que no teme a Dios.
Levántate del polvo, oh Jerusalén,
    y siéntate en un lugar de honor.
Quítate del cuello las cadenas de la esclavitud,
    oh hija cautiva de Sion.
Pues esto dice el Señor:
«Cuando te vendí al destierro,
    no recibí pago alguno;
ahora puedo redimirte
    sin tener que pagar por ti».

Esto dice el Señor Soberano: «Hace mucho tiempo, mi pueblo decidió vivir en Egipto. Ahora es Asiria la que lo oprime. ¿Qué es esto?—pregunta el Señor—. ¿Por qué está esclavizado mi pueblo nuevamente? Quienes lo gobiernan gritan de júbilo;[a] todo el día blasfeman mi nombre.[b] Pero yo revelaré mi nombre a mi pueblo, y llegará a conocer mi poder. Entonces, por fin mi pueblo reconocerá que soy yo quien le habla».

¡Qué hermosos son sobre los montes
    los pies del mensajero que trae buenas noticias,
buenas noticias de paz y de salvación,
    las noticias de que el Dios de Israel[c] reina!
Los centinelas gritan y cantan de alegría,
    porque con sus propios ojos
    ven al Señor regresando a Jerusalén.[d]
Que las ruinas de Jerusalén canten de alegría,
    porque el Señor ha consolado a su pueblo;
    ha redimido a Jerusalén.
10 El Señor ha manifestado su santo poder
    ante los ojos de todas las naciones,
y todos los confines de la tierra verán
    la victoria de nuestro Dios.

11 ¡Salgan! Salgan y dejen atrás su cautiverio,
    donde todo lo que tocan es impuro.
Salgan de allí y purifíquense,
    ustedes que vuelven a su tierra con los objetos sagrados del Señor.
12 No saldrán con prisa,
    como quien corre para salvar su vida.
Pues el Señor irá delante de ustedes;
    atrás los protegerá el Dios de Israel.

El Siervo sufriente del Señor

13 Miren, mi siervo prosperará;
    será muy exaltado.
14 Pero muchos quedaron asombrados cuando lo[e] vieron.
    Tenía el rostro tan desfigurado que apenas parecía un ser humano,
    y por su aspecto, no se veía como un hombre.
15 Y él alarmará[f] a muchas naciones;
    los reyes quedarán mudos ante él.
Verán lo que no se les había contado;
    entenderán lo que no habían oído hablar.[g]

52 Awake, awake,(A) Zion,
    clothe yourself with strength!(B)
Put on your garments of splendor,(C)
    Jerusalem, the holy city.(D)
The uncircumcised(E) and defiled(F)
    will not enter you again.(G)
Shake off your dust;(H)
    rise up,(I) sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains on your neck,(J)
    Daughter Zion,(K) now a captive.

For this is what the Lord says:

“You were sold for nothing,(L)
    and without money(M) you will be redeemed.(N)

For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“At first my people went down to Egypt(O) to live;
    lately, Assyria(P) has oppressed them.

“And now what do I have here?” declares the Lord.

“For my people have been taken away for nothing,
    and those who rule them mock,[a]
declares the Lord.
“And all day long
    my name is constantly blasphemed.(Q)
Therefore my people will know(R) my name;(S)
    therefore in that day(T) they will know
that it is I who foretold(U) it.
    Yes, it is I.”

How beautiful on the mountains(V)
    are the feet of those who bring good news,(W)
who proclaim peace,(X)
    who bring good tidings,
    who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
    “Your God reigns!”(Y)
Listen! Your watchmen(Z) lift up their voices;(AA)
    together they shout for joy.(AB)
When the Lord returns(AC) to Zion,(AD)
    they will see it with their own eyes.
Burst into songs of joy(AE) together,
    you ruins(AF) of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted(AG) his people,
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.(AH)
10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm(AI)
    in the sight of all the nations,(AJ)
and all the ends of the earth(AK) will see
    the salvation(AL) of our God.

11 Depart,(AM) depart, go out from there!
    Touch no unclean thing!(AN)
Come out from it and be pure,(AO)
    you who carry the articles(AP) of the Lord’s house.
12 But you will not leave in haste(AQ)
    or go in flight;
for the Lord will go before you,(AR)
    the God of Israel will be your rear guard.(AS)

The Suffering and Glory of the Servant

13 See, my servant(AT) will act wisely[b];
    he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.(AU)
14 Just as there were many who were appalled(AV) at him[c]
    his appearance was so disfigured(AW) beyond that of any human being
    and his form marred beyond human likeness(AX)
15 so he will sprinkle(AY) many nations,[d]
    and kings(AZ) will shut their mouths(BA) because of him.
For what they were not told, they will see,
    and what they have not heard, they will understand.(BB)

52 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

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

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

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.

Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

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 the Lord.

12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your reward.

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

14 As many were astonied at thee; 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.
