Jesaja 52
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Herren ska föra hem sitt folk
52 Vakna upp, vakna upp, Jerusalem, och kläd dig i makt från Gud! Ta på dig dina strålande kläder, Sion, du heliga stad! Syndare ska inte längre få gå in genom dina portar.
2 Res dig upp ur dammet, Jerusalem! Bryt loss kedjorna från din hals, du fångna dotter Sion!
3 För Herren säger: När jag sålde er och lät er gå i landsflykt, begärde jag inte något pris för er av era förtryckare. Nu kan jag ta er tillbaka och inte vara skyldig dem något!
4 Mitt folk har plågats utan orsak av Egypten och Assyrien, och jag vill befria det.
5 Och vad ska jag nu göra? frågar Herren. Varför har mitt folk blivit slavar och förtryckta utan anledning? De som härskar över dem ger uttryck för sin glädje, och mitt namn blir hädat dag efter dag.
6 Jo, jag ska uppenbara mitt namn för mitt folk, och de ska lära känna kraften i det namnet. Då ska de äntligen förstå att det är jag, Herren, som talar till dem.
7 Det är underbart att få ta emot bud från den som kommer med det glada budskapet om frid och frälsning, och med beskedet att det är Israels Gud som är kung!
8 Vakterna ropar och sjunger av glädje. Framför sina ögon ser de Herren återvända till Sion.
9 Nu ska Jerusalems ruiner stämma upp en glädjesång, för Herren har tröstat sitt folk, och han har befriat Jerusalem!
10 Herren har visat sin starka och heliga arm för alla folk. Jordens alla ändar ska se vår Guds frälsning.
11 Skynda er ut! Lämna era kedjor och ert slaveri! Lämna Babylon och allt som det representerar bakom er, för det är orent! Ni är Herrens heliga folk. Rena er, ni alla som bär Herrens egendom tillbaka hem till hans tempel!
12 Ni ska inte ha någon brådska när ni ger er iväg. Ni behöver inte fly för era liv. Herren ska gå framför er, och han, Israels Gud, ska skydda er från anfall i ryggen.
Herrens tjänare ska bli föraktad
13 Min tjänare ska ha framgång. Han ska bli högt uppsatt.
14-15 Ändå ska många bli förvånade när de får se honom, ja, till och med främmande folk och deras kungar. De ska stå fullkomligt stumma inför honom, för de ska se och förstå vad ingen talat om för dem tidigare. De ska se min tjänare slagen och blödande, så vanställd att man ska ha svårt att se att det är en människa. Men genom detta ska han rena många nationer.
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
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.
