Isaiah 52
World English Bible
52 Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion.
Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city,
for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
2 Shake yourself from the dust!
Arise, sit up, Jerusalem!
Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
3 For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing;
and you will be redeemed without money.”
4 For the Lord Yahweh says:
“My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there;
and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
5 “Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh,
“seeing that my people are taken away for nothing?
Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh,
“and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
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 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace,
who brings good news,
who proclaims salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Your watchmen lift up their voice.
Together they sing;
for they shall see eye to eye when Yahweh returns to Zion.
9 Break out into joy!
Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem;
for Yahweh has comforted his people.
He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
11 Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing!
Go out from among her!
Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels.
12 For you shall not go out in haste,
neither shall you go by flight;
for Yahweh will go before you,
and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13 Behold, my servant will deal wisely.
He will be exalted and lifted up,
and will be very high.
14 Just as many were astonished at you—
his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—
15 so he will cleanse[a] many nations.
Kings will shut their mouths at him;
for they will see that which had not been told them,
and they will understand that which they had not heard.

以赛亚书 52
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
锡安必获救
52 锡安啊，醒来吧，醒来吧，展示你的能力！
圣城耶路撒冷啊，
穿上你华美的衣服！
从今以后，
未受割礼和不洁净的人必不得进入你的城门。
2 耶路撒冷啊，抖掉身上的灰尘，
起来坐到宝座上！
被掳的锡安城啊，
卸去你颈上的锁链！
3 耶和华说：“你们被卖未得分文，你们被赎回也不需分文。” 4 主耶和华说：“起先我的子民到埃及寄居，后来亚述人无缘无故地欺压他们。” 5 耶和华说：“我这里还有什么呢？我的子民白白地被掳去，辖制他们的人咆哮大叫，我的名整天被亵渎。 6 然而，我的子民终会认识我的名。到那日，他们就会知道是我对他们说，‘我在这里。’”
7 那穿山越岭之人的脚踪是何等佳美！
他带来佳音，报告平安，
传递喜讯，宣布救恩，
对锡安说：“你的上帝做王了。”
8 听啊，你的守望者都一同高声欢呼，
因为耶和华回到锡安的时候，
他们必亲眼看见。
9 耶路撒冷的荒场啊，
你们要一同欢呼歌唱，
因为耶和华安慰了祂的子民，
救赎了耶路撒冷。
10 耶和华要向万国展现祂神圣的大能，
普天下将看见我们上帝的救恩。
11 离开吧，离开吧，
离开巴比伦吧！
不要碰不洁净的东西。
你们抬耶和华器具的人啊，
要从那里出来，要洁净自己。
12 你们不必匆忙离开，
也不用奔逃，
因为耶和华必走在你们前面，
以色列的上帝必作你们的后盾。
13 看啊，我的仆人必成功，
受到拥戴、仰慕和尊崇。
14 许多人看见祂就诧异，
祂的面容被毁、身体被残害得不成人样。
15 祂必洗净许多国家，
君王必因祂而闭口无言。
因为他们将看见未曾听过的事，
明白闻所未闻的事。
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.
