Isaiah 52
International Children’s Bible
Jerusalem Will Be Saved
52 Wake up, wake up, Jerusalem!
Become strong!
Be beautiful again,
holy city of Jerusalem.
The people who do not worship God and who are not pure
will not enter you again.
2 Jerusalem, you once were a prisoner.
Now shake off the dust and stand up.
Jerusalem, you once were a prisoner.
But now free yourself from the chains around your neck.
3 This is what the Lord says:
“You were not sold for a price.
So you will be saved without cost.”
4 This is what the Lord God says:
“First my people went down to Egypt to live.
Later Assyria made them slaves.
5 “Now see what has happened,” says the Lord.
“Another nation has taken away my people for nothing.
This nation who rules them makes fun of me,” says the Lord.
“All day long they speak against me.
6 But this has happened so my people will know who I am.
They will know I am God.
And they will know that I am the one speaking to them.”
7 How beautiful is the person
who comes over the mountains to bring good news.
How beautiful is the one who announces peace.
He brings good news
and announces salvation.
How beautiful are the feet of the one who says to Jerusalem,
“Your God is king.”
8 Listen! Your guards are shouting.
They are all shouting for joy!
They all will see with their own eyes
when the Lord returns to Jerusalem.
9 Jerusalem, your buildings are destroyed now.
But shout and rejoice together.
You can rejoice because the Lord has comforted his people.
He has saved Jerusalem.
10 The Lord will show his holy power
to all the nations.
Then everyone on earth
will see the salvation of our God.
11 You people, leave, leave; get out of Babylon!
Touch nothing that is unclean.
You men who carry the things used in worship,
leave there and make yourselves pure.
12 You will not be forced to leave Babylon quickly.
You will not be forced to run away.
The Lord will go before you.
And the God of Israel will guard you from behind.
God’s Suffering Servant
13 The Lord says, “See, my servant will act wisely.
People will greatly honor and respect him.
14 Many people were shocked when they saw him.
His appearance was so damaged he did not look like a man.
His form was changed so much they could barely tell he was human.
15 But now he will sprinkle many people.
Kings will be amazed and shut their mouths.
They will see the things they had not been told about my servant.
They will understand the things they had not heard.”
以赛亚书 52
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
神要拯救耶路撒冷
52 锡安哪，兴起！兴起！
穿上你的能力！
圣城耶路撒冷啊，穿上你华美的衣服！
因为从今以后，
未受割礼、不洁净的必不再进入你中间。
2 耶路撒冷啊，抖去尘埃，
起来坐在王位上！
被掳的锡安[a]哪，
解开你颈上的锁链！
3 耶和华如此说：“你们白白地被卖，也必不用银子赎回。” 4 主耶和华如此说：“先前我的百姓下到埃及，在那里寄居，末后又有亚述人欺压他们。 5 我的百姓既是白白地被掳，如今我在这里做什么呢？这是耶和华说的。辖制他们的人欢呼[b]，我的名终日不断受亵渎，这是耶和华说的。 6 因此，我的百姓必认识我的名；在那日，他们必知道说这话的就是我。看哪，是我！”
7 在山上报佳音，传平安，
报好信息，传扬救恩，
那人的脚踪何等佳美啊！
他对锡安说：“你的 神作王了！”
8 听啊，你守望之人的声音，
他们扬声一同欢唱；
因为他们必亲眼看见耶和华返回锡安。
9 耶路撒冷的废墟啊，
要出声一同欢唱；
因为耶和华安慰了他的百姓，
救赎了耶路撒冷。
10 耶和华在万国眼前露出圣臂，
地的四极都要看见我们 神的救恩。
11 离开吧！离开吧！
你们要从巴比伦出来。
你们扛抬耶和华器皿的人哪，
不要沾染不洁净之物，
离去时务要保持洁净。
12 你们出来必不致匆忙，
也不致奔逃；
因为耶和华要在你们前头行，
以色列的 神必作你们的后盾。
受苦的仆人
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.
