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.

Isaiah 52 (KJVS)
[1] Awake, H5782 (QalImpv) awake; H5782 (QalImpv) put on H3847 (QalImpv) thy strength, H5797 O Zion; H6726 put on H3847 (QalImpv) thy beautiful H8597 garments, H899 O Jerusalem, H3389 the holy H6944 city: H5892 for henceforth there shall no more H3254 (HiphImpf) come H935 (QalImpf) into thee the uncircumcised H6189 and the unclean. H2931
[2] Shake H5287 (HithImpv) thyself from the dust; H6083 arise, H6965 (QalImpv) and sit down, H3427 (QalImpv) O Jerusalem: H3389 loose H6605 (HithImpv) thyself from the bands H4147 of thy neck, H6677 O captive H7628 daughter H1323 of Zion. H6726
[3] For thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord, H3068 Ye have sold H4376 (NiphPerf) yourselves for nought; H2600 and ye shall be redeemed H1350 (NiphImpf) without money. H3701
[4] For thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God, H3069 My people H5971 went down H3381 (QalPerf) aforetime H7223 into Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 (QalInf) there; and the Assyrian H804 oppressed H6231 (QalPerf) them without cause. H657
[5] Now therefore, what have I here, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord, H3068 that my people H5971 is taken away H3947 (PualPerf) for nought? H2600 they that rule H4910 (QalActPtc) over them make them to howl, H3213 (HiphImpf) saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord; H3068 and my name H8034 continually H8548 every day H3117 is blasphemed. H5006 (HiplPtc)
[6] Therefore my people H5971 shall know H3045 (QalImpf) my name: H8034 therefore they shall know in that day H3117 that I am he that doth speak: H1696 (PielPtc) behold, it is I.
[7] How beautiful H4998 (PilpPerf) upon the mountains H2022 are the feet H7272 of him that bringeth good tidings, H1319 (PielPtc) that publisheth H8085 (HiphPtc) peace; H7965 that bringeth good tidings H1319 (PielPtc) of good, H2896 that publisheth H8085 (HiphPtc) salvation; H3444 that saith H559 (QalActPtc) unto Zion, H6726 Thy God H430 reigneth! H4427 (QalPerf)
[8] Thy watchmen H6822 (QalActPtc) shall lift up H5375 (QalPerf) the voice; H6963 with the voice H6963 together H3162 shall they sing: H7442 (PielImpf) for they shall see H7200 (QalImpf) eye H5869 to eye, H5869 when the Lord H3068 shall bring again H7725 (QalInf) Zion. H6726
[9] Break forth into joy, H6476 (QalImpv) sing H7442 (PielImpv) together, H3162 ye waste places H2723 of Jerusalem: H3389 for the Lord H3068 hath comforted H5162 (PielPerf) his people, H5971 he hath redeemed H1350 (QalPerf) Jerusalem. H3389
[10] The Lord H3068 hath made bare H2834 (QalPerf) his holy H6944 arm H2220 in the eyes H5869 of all the nations; H1471 and all the ends H657 of the earth H776 shall see H7200 (QalPerf) the salvation H3444 of our God. H430
[11] Depart H5493 (QalImpv) ye, depart H5493 (QalImpv) ye, go ye out H3318 (QalImpv) from thence, touch H5060 (QalImpf) no unclean H2931 thing; go ye out H3318 (QalImpv) of the midst H8432 of her; be ye clean, H1305 (NiphImpv) that bear H5375 (QalActPtc) the vessels H3627 of the Lord. H3068
[12] For ye shall not go out H3318 (QalImpf) with haste, H2649 nor go H3212 (QalImpf) by flight: H4499 for the Lord H3068 will go H1980 (QalActPtc) before H6440 you; and the God H430 of Israel H3478 will be your rereward.§ H622 (PielPtc)
[13] Behold, my servant H5650 shall deal prudently,§ H7919 (HiphImpf) he shall be exalted H7311 (QalImpf) and extolled, H5375 (NiphPerf) and be very H3966 high. H1361 (QalPerf)
[14] As many H7227 were astonied H8074 (QalPerf) at thee; his visage H4758 was so marred H4893 more than any man, H376 and his form H8389 more than the sons H1121 of men: H120
[15] so shall he sprinkle H5137 (HiphImpf) many H7227 nations; H1471 the kings H4428 shall shut H7092 (QalImpf) their mouths H6310 at him: for that which had not been told H5608 (PualPerf) them shall they see; H7200 (QalPerf) and that which they had not heard H8085 (QalPerf) shall they consider.

Isaiah 52 (BYZ)
[1] εξεγειρου εξεγειρου σιων ενδυσαι την ισχυν σου σιων και ενδυσαι την δοξαν σου ιερουσαλημ πολις η αγια ουκετι προστεθησεται διελθειν δια σου απεριτμητος και ακαθαρτος
[2] εκτιναξαι τον χουν και αναστηθι καθισον ιερουσαλημ εκδυσαι τον δεσμον του τραχηλου σου η αιχμαλωτος θυγατηρ σιων
[3] οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος δωρεαν επραθητε και ου μετα αργυριου λυτρωθησεσθε
[4] ουτως λεγει κυριος εις αιγυπτον κατεβη ο λαος μου το προτερον παροικησαι εκει και εις ασσυριους βια ηχθησαν
[5] και νυν τι ωδε εστε ταδε λεγει κυριος οτι ελημφθη ο λαος μου δωρεαν θαυμαζετε και ολολυζετε ταδε λεγει κυριος δι υμας δια παντος το ονομα μου βλασφημειται εν τοις εθνεσιν
[6] δια τουτο γνωσεται ο λαος μου το ονομα μου εν τη ημερα εκεινη οτι εγω ειμι αυτος ο λαλων παρειμι
[7] ως ωρα επι των ορεων ως ποδες ευαγγελιζομενου ακοην ειρηνης ως ευαγγελιζομενος αγαθα οτι ακουστην ποιησω την σωτηριαν σου λεγων σιων βασιλευσει σου ο θεος
[8] οτι φωνη των φυλασσοντων σε υψωθη και τη φωνη αμα ευφρανθησονται οτι οφθαλμοι προς οφθαλμους οψονται ηνικα αν ελεηση κυριος την σιων
[9] ρηξατω ευφροσυνην αμα τα ερημα ιερουσαλημ οτι ηλεησεν κυριος αυτην και ερρυσατο ιερουσαλημ
[10] και αποκαλυψει κυριος τον βραχιονα αυτου τον αγιον ενωπιον παντων των εθνων και οψονται παντα τα ακρα της γης την σωτηριαν την παρα του θεου
[11] αποστητε αποστητε εξελθατε εκειθεν και ακαθαρτου μη απτεσθε εξελθατε εκ μεσου αυτης αφορισθητε οι φεροντες τα σκευη κυριου
[12] οτι ου μετα ταραχης εξελευσεσθε ουδε φυγη πορευσεσθε πορευσεται γαρ προτερος υμων κυριος και ο επισυναγων υμας κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ
[13] ιδου συνησει ο παις μου και υψωθησεται και δοξασθησεται σφοδρα
[14] ον τροπον εκστησονται επι σε πολλοι ουτως αδοξησει απο ανθρωπων το ειδος σου και η δοξα σου απο των ανθρωπων
[15] ουτως θαυμασονται εθνη πολλα επ αυτω και συνεξουσιν βασιλεις το στομα αυτων οτι οις ουκ ανηγγελη περι αυτου οψονται και οι ουκ ακηκοασιν συνησουσιν
