52
1 Awake, 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).
2 Shake thyself from the dust;
arise, O captive Yerushalayim;
free thyself from the chains around thy neck,
O captive Bat Tziyon.
 
3 For thus saith Hashem, Ye have sold yourselves for nothing; and your geulah (redemption) shall be without kesef. 4 For thus saith Adonoi Hashem: My people went down at first into Mitzrayim to sojourn there; and lately the Assyrian oppressed them. 5 Now 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. 6 Therefore My people shall know Shemi; therefore they shall know in Yom Hahu that I am He that doth speak; hineni, (behold, it is I).
 
7 How 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!
8 Thy 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.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together,
ye ruins of Yerushalayim;
for Hashem hath comforted His people,
He hath redeemed Yerushalayim.
10 Hashem hath made bare His zero'a kedoshah[a]
in the eyes of Kol HaGoyim;
and all the ends of ha'aretz
shall see the Yeshu'at Eloheinu.
 
11 Depart 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.
12 For ye shall not go out with haste,
nor go by flight;
for Hashem will go before you;
and Elohei Yisroel will be your rearguard.[b]
 
13 Hinei, Avdi[c] shall act wisely,
he shall be raised and be lifted up, and be highly exalted.
14 As rabbim (many) were appalled at thee;[d]
his appearance was so disfigured more than any man,
and his form more than the bnei adam;
15 So 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).
