Isaiah 52
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Let Zion Rejoice
52 Awake, awake,
put on your strength, O Zion!
Put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city;
for the uncircumcised and the unclean
shall enter you no more.
2 Shake yourself from the dust, rise up,
O captive[a] Jerusalem;
loose the bonds from your neck,
O captive daughter Zion!
3 For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money. 4 For thus says the Lord God: Long ago, my people went down into Egypt to reside there as aliens; the Assyrian, too, has oppressed them without cause. 5 Now therefore what am I doing here, says the Lord, seeing that my people are taken away without cause? Their rulers howl, says the Lord, and continually, all day long, my name is despised. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here am I.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of the messenger who announces peace,
who brings good news,
who announces salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
8 Listen! Your sentinels lift up their voices,
together they sing for joy;
for in plain sight they see
the return of the Lord to Zion.
9 Break forth together into singing,
you ruins of Jerusalem;
for the Lord has comforted his people,
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has bared his holy arm
before the eyes of all the nations;
and all the ends of the earth shall see
the salvation of our God.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there!
Touch no unclean thing;
go out from the midst of it, purify yourselves,
you who carry the vessels of the Lord.
12 For you shall not go out in haste,
and you shall not go in flight;
for the Lord will go before you,
and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
The Suffering Servant
13 See, my servant shall prosper;
he shall be exalted and lifted up,
and shall be very high.
14 Just as there were many who were astonished at him[b]
—so marred was his appearance, beyond human semblance,
and his form beyond that of mortals—
15 so he shall startle[c] many nations;
kings shall shut their mouths because of him;
for that which had not been told them they shall see,
and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate.

Jerusalem, the holy city.(D)
The uncircumcised(E) and defiled(F)
will not enter you again.(G)
2 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.
3 For this is what the Lord says:
4 For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
5 “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)
6 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.”
7 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)
8 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.
9 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)

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
52 Gumising ka, gumising ka, magsuot ka ng iyong kalakasan, Oh Sion; magsuot ka ng iyong mga magandang damit, Oh Jerusalem, na bayang banal: sapagka't mula ngayo'y hindi na papasok pa sa iyo ang hindi tuli at ang marumi.
2 Magpagpag ka ng alabok; ikaw ay bumangon, umupo ka sa iyong luklukan, Oh Jerusalem: magkalag ka ng mga tali ng iyong leeg, Oh bihag na anak na babae ng Sion.
3 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Kayo'y naipagbili sa wala; at kayo'y matutubos ng walang salapi.
4 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Ang bayan ko ay bumaba noong una sa Egipto upang makipamayan doon: at pinighati sila ng mga taga Asiria ng walang kadahilanan.
5 Ngayon nga, anong ginagawa ko rito, sabi ng Panginoon, yamang ang aking bayan ay dinala ng walang anoano? silang nangagpupuno sa kanila ay nagsisiungal, sabi ng Panginoon, at ang aking pangalan ay natutungayaw na lagi buong araw,
6 Kaya't makikilala ng aking bayan ang aking pangalan: kaya't matatalastas nila sa araw na yaon, na ako yaong nagsasalita; narito, ako nga.
7 Anong pagkaganda sa mga bundok ng mga paa niyaong nagdadala ng mga mabuting balita, na naghahayag ng kapayapaan, na nangagdadala ng mga mabuting balita sa ikabubuti, na nagtatanyag ng kaligtasan, na nagsasabi sa Sion, Ang iyong Dios ay naghahari!
8 Ang tinig ng iyong mga bantay! sila'y naglalakas ng tinig, na magkakasamang nagsisiawit; sapagka't sila'y makakakita ng mukhaan pagka ang Panginoon ay bumalik sa Sion.
9 Kayo'y magbiglang magalak, kayo'y magsiawit na magkakasama, kayong mga sirang dako ng Jerusalem; sapagka't inaliw ng Panginoon ang kaniyang bayan, kaniyang tinubos ang Jerusalem.
10 Hinubdan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang banal na bisig sa harap ng mga mata ng lahat na bansa; at makikita ng lahat na wakas ng lupa ang pagliligtas ng ating Dios.
11 Kayo'y magsiyaon, kayo'y magsiyaon, kayo'y magsialis doon, huwag kayong magsisihipo ng maruming bagay; kayo'y magsilabas sa gitna niya; kayo'y mangagpakalinis, kayong nangagdadala ng mga sisidlan ng Panginoon.
12 Sapagka't kayo'y hindi magsisilabas na nagmamadali, o magsisilabas man kayo na takas: sapagka't ang Panginoon ay magpapauna sa inyo; at ang Dios ng Israel ay magiging inyong bantay likod.
13 Narito, ang lingkod ko ay gagawang may karunungan, siya'y mabubunyi, at malalagay na mataas, at magiging napakataas.
14 Kung paanong marami ang natigilan dahil sa iyo (ang kaniyang mukha ay napakakatuwa kay sa kaninomang lalake, at ang kaniyang anyo ay higit na kumatuwa kay sa mga anak ng mga tao),
15 Gayon siya magwiwisik sa maraming bansa; ang mga hari ay magtitikom ng kanilang mga bibig dahil sa kaniya: sapagka't ang hindi nasaysay sa kanila ay kanilang makikita; at ang hindi nila narinig ay kanilang mauunawa.
