Isaiæ 52
1 Consurge, consurge, induere fortitudine tua Sion, induere vestimentis gloriæ tuæ Ierusalem civitas sancti: quia non adiiciet ultra ut pertranseat per te incircumcisus et immundus.
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 Excutere de pulvere, consurge; sede Ierusalem: solve vincula colli tui captiva filia Sion.
Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit thee down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion,
3 Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Gratis venundati estis, et sine argento redimemini.
For thus saith the LORD, Ye were sold for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: In Ægyptum descendit populus meus in principio ut colonus esset ibi: et Assur absque ulla causa calumniatus est eum.
For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there: and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Et nunc quid mihi est hic, dicit Dominus, quoniam ablatus est populus meus gratis? Dominatores eius inique agunt, dicit Dominus, et iugiter tota die nomen meum blasphematur.
Now therefore, what do I here, saith the LORD, seeing that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them do howl, saith the LORD, and my name continually all the day is blasphemed.
6 Propter hoc sciet populus meus nomen meum in die illa: quia ego ipse qui loquebar, ecce adsum.
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 Quam pulchri super montes pedes annunciantis et prædicantis pacem: annunciantis bonum, prædicantis salutem, dicentis Sion: Regnabit Deus tuus!
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 Vox speculatorum tuorum: levaverunt vocem, simul laudabunt: quia oculo ad oculum videbunt cum converterit Dominus Sion.
The voice of thy watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see, eye to eye, when the LORD returneth to Zion.
9 Gaudete, et laudate simul deserta Ierusalem: quia consolatus est Dominus populum suum, redemit Ierusalem.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Paravit Dominus brachium sanctum suum in oculis omnium Gentium: et videbunt omnes fines terræ salutare Dei nostri.
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 Recedite, recedite, exite inde, pollutum nolite tangere: exite de medio eius, mundamini qui fertis vasa Domini.
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, ye that bear the vessels of the LORD.
12 Quoniam non in tumultu exibitis, nec in fuga properabitis: præcedet enim vos Dominus, et congregabit vos Deus Israel.
For ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward.
13 Ecce intelliget servus meus, exaltabitur, et elevabitur, et sublimis erit valde.
Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
14 Sicut obstupuerunt super te multi, sic inglorius erit inter viros aspectus eius, et forma eius inter filios hominum.
Like 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 Iste asperget gentes multas, super ipsum continebunt reges os suum: quia quibus non est narratum de eo, viderunt: et qui non audierunt, contemplati sunt.
so shall he sprinkle many nations; 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 understand.
