Yeshayah 52

¹Awake, awake;

clothe thyself with thy strength, O Tziyon;

put on thy garments of splendor,

O Yerushalayim, Ir HaKodesh;

for henceforth there shall no more come into thee

the arel (uncircumcised) and the tameh (unclean) .

²Shake thyself from the dust;

arise, O captive Yerushalayim;

free thyself from the chains around thy neck,

O captive Bat Tziyon.

³For thus saith Hashem , Ye have sold yourselves for nothing; and your geulah (redemption) shall be without kesef.

⁴For thus saith Adonoi Hashem : My people went down at first into Mitzrayim to sojourn there; and lately the Assyrian oppressed them.

⁵Now therefore, what have I here, saith Hashem , that My people is taken away for nothing? They that rule over them mock them, saith Hashem ; and all day long Shemi (My Name) is continually blasphemed.

⁶Therefore My people shall know Shemi; therefore they shall know in Yom Hahu that I am He that doth speak; hineni, (behold, it is I) .

⁷How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the Mevaser (bringer of Good Tidings, the Evangelist) ,

that publisheth shalom; that bringeth good tidings of tov,

that publisheth Yeshu'ah (Salvation) ;

that saith unto Tziyon: Thy G-d reigneth!

⁸Thy tzofim (watchmen) shall lift up the kol (voice) ;

with the kol together shall they shout for joy;

for they shall see it with their own eyes,

when Hashem returns to Tziyon.

⁹Break forth into joy, sing together,

ye ruins of Yerushalayim;

for Hashem hath comforted His people,

He hath redeemed Yerushalayim.

¹⁰Hashem hath made bare His zero'a kedoshah[#52:10 See Isa 53:1]

in the eyes of Kol HaGoyim;

and all the ends of ha'aretz

shall see the Yeshu'at Eloheinu.

¹¹Depart ye, depart ye; come ye out from there;

touch not tameh (unclean thing) ;

come ye out of the midst of her;

be ye clean, that carry the k'lei Hashem .

¹²For ye shall not go out with haste,

nor go by flight;

for Hashem will go before you;

and Elohei Yisroel will be your rearguard.

¹³Hinei, Avdi shall act wisely,[#52:13 Moshiach, see Zech 3:8]

he shall be raised and be lifted up, and be highly exalted.

¹⁴As rabbim (many) were appalled at thee;[#52:14 Moshiach]

his appearance was so disfigured more than any man,

and his form more than the bnei adam;

¹⁵So yazzeh Goyim rabbim (he [Moshiach] will sprinkle many nations) ;

the melachim (kings) shall shut their mouths because of him;

for that which had not been told them

shall they see;

and of that which they had not heard

shall they have binah (understanding) .
