Isaiah, 52

1. Awake, awake! Clothe yourself in strength, Zion. Put on your finest clothes, Jerusalem, Holy City; for the uncircumcised and the unclean will enter you no more.

1. 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. Shake off your dust; get up, captive Jerusalem! The chains have fallen from your neck, captive daughter of Jerusalem!

2. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, [and] sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

3. For Yahweh says this, 'You were sold for nothing; you will be redeemed without money.'

3. For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

4. For the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Long ago my people went to Egypt and settled there as aliens; finally Assyria oppressed them for no reason.

4. For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

5. So now what is to be done,' declares Yahweh, 'since my people have been carried off for nothing, their masters howl in triumph,' declares Yahweh, 'and my name is held in contempt all day, every day?

5. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day [is] blasphemed.

6. Because of this my people will know my name, because of this they will know when the day comes, that it is I saying, Here I am!'

6. 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. How beautiful on the mountains, are the feet of the messenger announcing peace, of the messenger of good news, who proclaims salvation and says to Zion, 'Your God is king!'

7. 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. The voices of your watchmen! Now they raise their voices, shouting for joy together, for with their own eyes they have seen Yahweh returning to Zion.

8. Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.

9. Break into shouts together, shouts of joy, you ruins of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has consoled his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.

9. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

10. Yahweh has bared his holy arm for all the nations to see, and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

10. 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. Go away, go away, leave that place, do not touch anything unclean. Get out of her, purify yourselves, you who carry Yahweh's vessels!

11. Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean [thing]; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

12. For you are not to hurry away, you are not to leave like fugitives. No, Yahweh marches at your head and the God of Israel is your rearguard.

12. For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel [will be] your rereward.

13. Look, my servant will prosper, will grow great, will rise to great heights.

13. Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

14. As many people were aghast at him -- he was so inhumanly disfigured that he no longer looked like a man-

14. 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. so many nations will be astonished and kings will stay tight-lipped before him, seeing what had never been told them, learning what they had not heard before.

15. So shall he sprinkle many nations; the 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 consider.

Notas al pie:

52:1-2 - God calls Jerusalem to awaken and clothe herself with strength and splendor, symbolizing the restoration and holiness of His people. This prefigures redemption in Christ (see also Revelation 21:2-4 and Isaiah 60:1).

52:3-6 - God promises to rescue His people free of charge, reaffirming His commitment to freeing the captives. This points to the free work of salvation (see also Romans 6:23 and Ephesians 2:8-9).

52:7 - The proclamation of the good news of peace and salvation exalts the beauty of those who announce the arrival of God's Kingdom. This passage is cited in the New Testament as a reference to the Gospel (see also Romans 10:15 and Nahum 1:15).
