Isaiah 52 (WEBP)

[1] 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 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.

Young’s Literal Translation

Isaiah 52 (YLT)

[1] Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion, Put on the garments of thy beauty, Jerusalem-the Holy City; For enter no more into thee again, Do the uncircumcised and unclean.
[2] Shake thyself from dust, arise, sit, O Jerusalem, Bands of thy neck have loosed themselves, O captive, daughter of Zion.
[3] For thus said Jehovah: ‘For nought ye have been sold, And not by money are ye redeemed.’
[4] For thus said the Lord Jehovah: ‘To Egypt My people went down at first to sojourn there, And Asshur-for nought he hath oppressed it.
[5] And now, what-to Me here, An affirmation of Jehovah, That taken is My people for nought? Its rulers cause howling,-an affirmation of Jehovah, And continually all the day My name is despised.
[6] Therefore doth My people know My name, Therefore, in that day, Surely I am He who is speaking, behold Me.’
[7] How comely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, ‘Reigned hath thy God.’
[8] The voice of thy watchmen! They have lifted up the voice, together they cry aloud, Because eye to eye they see, in Jehovah’s turning back to Zion.
[9] Break forth, sing together, O wastes of Jerusalem, For Jehovah hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem.
[10] Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The salvation of our God.
[11] Turn aside, turn aside, go out thence, The unclean touch not, go out from her midst, Be ye pure, who are bearing the weapons of Jehovah.
[12] For not in haste do ye go out, Yea, with flight ye go not on, For going before you is Jehovah, And gathering you is the God of Israel!
[13] Lo, My servant doth act wisely, He is high, and hath been lifted up, And hath been very high.
[14] As astonished at thee have been many, (So marred by man his appearance, And his form by sons of men.)
[15] So doth he sprinkle many nations. Concerning him kings shut their mouth, For that which was not recounted to them they have seen, And that which they had not heard they have understood!
