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 (8798), awake H5782 (8798); put on H3847 (8798) thy strength H5797, O Zion H6726; put on H3847 (8798) thy beautiful H8597 garments H899, O Jerusalem H3389, the holy H6944 city H5892: for henceforth there shall no more H3254 (8686) come H935 (8799) into thee the uncircumcised H6189 and the unclean H2931.
[2] Shake H5287 (8690) thyself from the dust H6083; arise H6965 (8798), [and] sit down H3427 (8798), O Jerusalem H3389: loose H6605 (8690) thyself from the bands H4147 of thy neck H6677, O captive H7628 daughter H1323 of Zion H6726.
[3] For thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068, Ye have sold H4376 (8738) yourselves for nought H2600; and ye shall be redeemed H1350 (8735) without money H3701.
[4] For thus saith H559 (8804) the Lord H136 GOD H3069, My people H5971 went down H3381 (8804) aforetime H7223 into Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 (8800) there; and the Assyrian H804 oppressed H6231 (8804) them without cause H657.
[5] Now therefore, what have I here, saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068, that my people H5971 is taken away H3947 (8795) for nought H2600? they that rule H4910 (8802) over them make them to howl H3213 (8686), saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068; and my name H8034 continually H8548 every day H3117 [is] blasphemed H5006 (8711).
[6] Therefore my people H5971 shall know H3045 (8799) my name H8034: therefore [they shall know] in that day H3117 that I [am] he that doth speak H1696 (8764): behold, [it is] I.
[7] How beautiful H4998 (8773) upon the mountains H2022 are the feet H7272 of him that bringeth good tidings H1319 (8764), that publisheth H8085 (8688) peace H7965; that bringeth good tidings H1319 (8764) of good H2896, that publisheth H8085 (8688) salvation H3444; that saith H559 (8802) unto Zion H6726, Thy God H430 reigneth H4427 (8804)!
[8] Thy watchmen H6822 (8802) shall lift up H5375 (8804) the voice H6963; with the voice H6963 together H3162 shall they sing H7442 (8762): for they shall see H7200 (8799) eye H5869 to eye H5869, when the LORD H3068 shall bring again H7725 (8800) Zion H6726.
[9] Break forth into joy H6476 (8798), sing H7442 (8761) together H3162, ye waste places H2723 of Jerusalem H3389: for the LORD H3068 hath comforted H5162 (8765) his people H5971, he hath redeemed H1350 (8804) Jerusalem H3389.
[10] The LORD H3068 hath made bare H2834 (8804) 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 (8804) the salvation H3444 of our God H430.
[11] Depart H5493 (8798) ye, depart H5493 (8798) ye, go ye out H3318 (8798) from thence, touch H5060 (8799) no unclean H2931 [thing]; go ye out H3318 (8798) of the midst H8432 of her; be ye clean H1305 (8734), that bear H5375 (8802) the vessels H3627 of the LORD H3068.
[12] For ye shall not go out H3318 (8799) with haste H2649, nor go H3212 (8799) by flight H4499: for the LORD H3068 will go H1980 (8802) before H6440 you; and the God H430 of Israel H3478 [will be] your rereward H622 (8764).
[13] Behold, my servant H5650 shall deal prudently H7919 (8686), he shall be exalted H7311 (8799) and extolled H5375 (8738), and be very H3966 high H1361 (8804).
[14] As many H7227 were astonied H8074 (8804) 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 (8686) many H7227 nations H1471; the kings H4428 shall shut H7092 (8799) their mouths H6310 at him: for [that] which had not been told H5608 (8795) them shall they see H7200 (8804); and [that] which they had not heard H8085 (8804) shall they consider H995 (8712).
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!
