Isaaya 52
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Katonda Alizzaawo Yerusaalemi
52 (A)Zuukuka, zuukuka,
oyambale amaanyi go, ggwe Sayuuni.
Ggwe Yerusaalemi ekibuga ekitukuvu,
teekako ebyambalo byo ebitemagana.
Kubanga okuva leero mu miryango gyo
temukyayingira mu atali mukomole n’atali mulongoofu.
2 (B)Weekunkumuleko enfuufu,
yimuka otuule ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka ggwe Yerusaalemi.
Weesumulule enjegere mu bulago bwo,
ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni eyanyagibwa.
3 (C)Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti,
“Mwatundibwa bwereere
era mujja kununulibwa awatali kusasula nsimbi.”
4 (D)Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna nti,
“Omulundi ogwasooka abantu bange baagenda e Misiri okusengayo,
oluvannyuma, Omwasuli n’abajooga.
5 (E)“Kaakano kiki ate kye ndaba wano?
“Kubanga abantu bange baatwalirwa bwereere
era abo ababafuga babasekerera,”
bw’ayogera Mukama.
“Erinnya lyange
livvoolebwa olunaku lwonna.
6 (F)Mu biseera ebijja abantu bange balimmanya.
Olunaku lujja lwe balitegeera nga nze nakyogera.
Weewaawo, Nze.”
7 (G)Nga birungi ku nsozi ebigere by’oyo aleeta amawulire amalungi,
alangirira emirembe,
aleeta ebigambo ebirungi,
alangirira obulokozi,
agamba Sayuuni nti, “Katonda wo afuga.”
8 (H)Wuliriza!
Amaloboozi g’abakuumi bo gawulikika, gayimusiddwa.
Bonna awamu bajaguza olw’essanyu.
Kubanga okudda kwa Mukama mu Sayuuni balikulaba n’amaaso gaabwe.
9 (I)Mubaguke okuyimba ennyimba ez’essanyu mwenna,
mmwe ebifo bya Yerusaalemi ebyazika.
Kubanga Mukama asanyusizza abantu be,
anunudde Yerusaalemi.
10 (J)Mukama aliraga omukono gwe omutukuvu eri amawanga gonna,
bagulabe.
Enkomerero z’ensi zonna
ziriraba obulokozi bwa Katonda waffe.
11 (K)Mugende, mugende muveewo awo.
Temukwata ku kintu kyonna kitali kirongoofu.
Mukifulumemu mubeere balongoofu
mmwe abasitula ebyombo bya Mukama.
12 (L)Naye temulivaamu nga mwanguyiriza
so temuligenda nga mudduka;
kubanga Mukama alibakulembera abasookeyo;
Katonda wa Isirayiri y’alibakuuma.
Okubonaabona n’Ekitiibwa ky’Omuweereza wa Mukama
13 (M)Laba, omuweereza wange by’akola alibikozesa magezi,
aliyimusibwa asitulibwe, era assibwemu nnyo ekitiibwa.
14 Ng’abaamulaba ne bennyamira bwe baali abangi,
endabika ye ng’eyonoonese nnyo nga takyafaananika,
era ng’eyonoonese evudde ku y’abantu,
15 (N)bw’atyo bw’anawuniikiriza amawanga mangi;
bakabaka balibunira ku lulwe;
kubanga ekyo ekitababulirwanga balikiraba,
era ekyo kye batawulirangako, balikitegeera.
Isaiah 52
King James Version
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.
2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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!
8 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.
9 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.
Isaiah 52
New King James Version
God Redeems Jerusalem
52 Awake, awake!
Put on your strength, O Zion;
Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city!
For the uncircumcised (A)and the unclean
Shall no longer come to you.
2 (B)Shake yourself from the dust, arise;
Sit down, O Jerusalem!
(C)Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion!
3 For thus says the Lord:
4 For thus says the Lord God:
“My people went down at first
Into (F)Egypt to [a]dwell there;
Then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I here,” says the Lord,
“That My people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them
[b]Make them wail,” says the Lord,
“And My name is (G)blasphemed continually every day.
6 Therefore My people shall know My name;
Therefore they shall know in that day
That I am He who speaks:
‘Behold, it is I.’ ”
7 (H)How beautiful upon the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who proclaims peace,
Who brings glad tidings of good things,
Who proclaims salvation,
Who says to Zion,
(I)“Your God reigns!”
8 Your watchmen shall lift up their voices,
With their voices they shall sing together;
For they shall see eye to eye
When the Lord brings back Zion.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together,
You waste places of Jerusalem!
For the Lord has comforted His people,
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 (J)The Lord has [c]made bare His holy arm
In the eyes of (K)all the nations;
And all the ends of the earth shall see
The salvation of our God.
11 (L)Depart! Depart! Go out from there,
Touch no unclean thing;
Go out from the midst of her,
(M)Be clean,
You who bear the vessels of the Lord.
12 For (N)you shall not go out with haste,
Nor go by flight;
(O)For the Lord will go before you,
(P)And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
The Sin-Bearing Servant
13 Behold, (Q)My Servant shall [d]deal prudently;
(R)He shall be exalted and [e]extolled and be very high.
14 Just as many were astonished at you,
So His (S)visage[f] was marred more than any man,
And His form more than the sons of men;
15 (T)So shall He [g]sprinkle many nations.
Kings shall shut their mouths at Him;
For (U)what had not been told them they shall see,
And what they had not heard they shall consider.

English Standard Version
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.
2 (E)Shake yourself from the dust and arise;
be seated, O Jerusalem;
(F)loose the bonds from your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus says the Lord: (G)“You were sold for nothing, and (H)you shall be redeemed without money.” 4 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] 5 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. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name. (K)Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.”
7 (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.”
8 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.
9 (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.
