52 (A)Дигни се, дигни, облечи се в силата си, Сионе! Облечи се в дрехите на величието си, Иерусалиме, светий граде! защото отсега няма вече да влиза в тебе необрязан и нечист.

Отърси от себе си праха; стани, пленений Иерусалиме! Снеми веригите от врата си, пленена дъще Сионова!

(B)защото тъй казва Господ: за нищо бяхте продадени, и без сребро ще бъдете откупени;

(C)и още тъй казва Господ Бог: народът Ми ходи по-преди в Египет, за да поживее там, и Асур го притесняваше без причина.

(D)И сега какво имам тука? казва Господ, – народът Ми е взет даром, владетелите им беснеят, казва Господ, и постоянно, всеки ден, името Ми се хули.

Затова Моят народ ще узнае името Ми; затова ще узнае в оня ден, че Аз съм Същият, Който казва: ето Ме!

(E)Колко прекрасни са върху планините нозете на благовестника, който възвестява мир, благовествува радост, проповядва спасение, който говори Сиону: „Бог твой се възцари!“

(F)Ето гласа на твоите стражи! Те издигнаха глас, и всички наедно ликуват, защото с очите си виждат, че Господ се връща в Сион.

(G)Тържествувайте, пейте наедно, развалини Иерусалимски, защото Господ утеши народа Си – изкупи Иерусалим

10 (H)Възпретна Господ светата Си мишца пред очите на всички народи, – и всички краища земни ще видят спасението на нашия Бог.

11 (I)Идете си, идете си, излезте оттам: не се допирайте до нечисто; излезте из средата му, очистете се, вие, които носите съдовете Господни!

12 (J)защото не ще излезете набързо и не ще побегнете; защото пред вас ще тръгне Господ, и Бог Израилев ще бъде отзаде ви стража.

13 (K)Ето, Моят Раб ще благоуспее, ще се въздигне, ще се възвиси и възвеличи.

14 (L)Както мнозина бидоха смаяни, гледайки на Него – толкоз ликът Му беше обезобразен повече, отколкото на всеки човек, и видът Му – повече, отколкото на синовете човешки, –

15 (M)така Той ще смае много народи; царе ще затворят пред Него устата си, защото ще видят онова, за което не им е било говорено, и ще узнаят, каквото не са слушали.

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)

The Lord's Coming Salvation

52 (A)Awake, awake,
    put on your strength, O Zion;
(B)put on your beautiful garments,
    O Jerusalem, (C)the holy city;
(D)for there shall no more come into you
    the uncircumcised and the unclean.
(E)Shake yourself from the dust and arise;
    be seated, O Jerusalem;
(F)loose the bonds from your neck,
    O captive daughter of Zion.

For thus says the Lord: (G)“You were sold for nothing, and (H)you shall be redeemed without money.” For thus says the Lord God: (I)“My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing.[a] Now therefore what have I here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and (J)continually all the day my name is despised. Therefore my people shall know my name. (K)Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.”

(L)How beautiful upon the mountains
    are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, (M)who brings good news of happiness,
    who publishes salvation,
    who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
The voice of (N)your watchmen—they lift up their voice;
    together they sing for joy;
(O)for eye to eye they see
    the return of the Lord to Zion.
(P)Break forth together into singing,
    (Q)you waste places of Jerusalem,
for (R)the Lord has comforted his people;
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 (S)The Lord has bared his holy arm
    before the eyes of all the nations,
(T)and all the ends of the earth shall see
    the salvation of our God.

11 (U)Depart, depart, go out from there;
    touch no unclean thing;
go out from the midst of her; purify yourselves,
    (V)you who bear the vessels of the Lord.
12 For you shall not (W)go out in haste,
    and you shall not go in flight,
(X)for the Lord will go before you,
    (Y)and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

He Was Pierced for Our Transgressions

13 Behold, (Z)my servant shall act wisely;[b]
    he shall be high and lifted up,
    and shall be exalted.
14 As many were astonished at you—
    (AA)his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance,
    and his form beyond that of the children of mankind—
15 so (AB)shall he sprinkle[c] many nations.
    (AC)Kings shall shut their mouths because of him,
(AD)for that which has not been told them they see,
    and that which they have not heard they understand.
