1. Wake up! Wake up! Clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your beautiful clothes, O Jerusalem, holy city! For uncircumcised and unclean pagans will no longer invade you.
|
1. Awake H5782 , awake H5782 ; put on H3847 thy strength H5797 , O Zion H6726 ; put on H3847 thy beautiful H8597 garments H899 , O Jerusalem H3389 , the holy H6944 city H5892 : for H3588 henceforth H3254 there shall no H3808 more H5750 come H935 into thee the uncircumcised H6189 and the unclean H2931 .
|
|
2. Shake off the dirt! Get up, captive Jerusalem! Take off the iron chains around your neck, O captive daughter Zion!
|
2. Shake thyself H5287 from the dust H4480 H6083 ; arise H6965 , and sit down H3427 , O Jerusalem H3389 : loose thyself H6605 from the bands H4147 of thy neck H6677 , O captive H7628 daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 .

|
3. For this is what the LORD says: "You were sold for nothing, and you will not be redeemed for money."
|
3. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Ye have sold yourselves H4376 for naught H2600 ; and ye shall be redeemed H1350 without H3808 money H3701 .
|
|
4. For this is what the sovereign LORD says: "In the beginning my people went to live temporarily in Egypt; Assyria oppressed them for no good reason.
|
4. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 , My people H5971 went down H3381 formerly H7223 into Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 there H8033 ; and the Assyrian H804 oppressed H6231 them without cause H657 .
|
|
5. And now, what do we have here?" says the LORD. "Indeed my people have been carried away for nothing, those who rule over them taunt," says the LORD, "and my name is constantly slandered all day long.
|
5. Now H6258 therefore, what H4100 have I here H6311 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that H3588 my people H5971 is taken away H3947 for naught H2600 ? they that rule over H4910 them make them to howl H3213 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 ; and my name H8034 continually H8548 every H3605 day H3117 is blasphemed H5006 .
|
|
6. For this reason my people will know my name, for this reason they will know at that time that I am the one who says, 'Here I am.'"
|
6. Therefore H3651 my people H5971 shall know H3045 my name H8034 : therefore H3651 they shall know in that H1931 day H3117 that H3588 I H589 am he H1931 that doth speak H1696 : behold H2009 , it is I.
|
|
7. How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountains the feet of a messenger who announces peace, a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
|
7. How H4100 beautiful H4998 upon H5921 the mountains H2022 are the feet H7272 of him that bringeth good tidings H1319 , that publisheth H8085 peace H7965 ; that bringeth good tidings H1319 of good H2896 , that publisheth H8085 salvation H3444 ; that saith H559 unto Zion H6726 , Thy God H430 reigneth H4427 !
|
|
8. Listen, your watchmen shout; in unison they shout for joy, for they see with their very own eyes the LORD's return to Zion.
|
8. Thy watchmen H6822 shall lift up H5375 the voice H6963 ; with the voice H6963 together H3162 shall they sing H7442 : for H3588 they shall see H7200 eye H5869 to eye H5869 , when the LORD H3068 shall bring again H7725 Zion H6726 .
|
|
9. In unison give a joyful shout, O ruins of Jerusalem! For the LORD consoles his people; he protects Jerusalem.
|
9. Break forth into joy H6476 , sing H7442 together H3162 , ye waste places H2723 of Jerusalem H3389 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath comforted H5162 his people H5971 , he hath redeemed H1350 Jerusalem H3389 .
|
|
10. The LORD reveals his royal power in the sight of all the nations; the entire earth sees our God deliver.
|
10. The LORD H3068 hath made bare H2834 H853 his holy H6944 arm H2220 in the eyes H5869 of all H3605 the nations H1471 ; and all H3605 the ends H657 of the earth H776 shall see H7200 H853 the salvation H3444 of our God H430 .
|
|
11. Leave! Leave! Get out of there! Don't touch anything unclean! Get out of it! Stay pure, you who carry the LORD's holy items!
|
11. Depart H5493 ye, depart H5493 ye , go ye out H3318 from thence H4480 H8033 , touch H5060 no H408 unclean H2931 thing ; go ye out H3318 of the midst H4480 H8432 of her ; be ye clean H1305 , that bear H5375 the vessels H3627 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
12. Yet do not depart quickly or leave in a panic. For the LORD goes before you; the God of Israel is your rear guard.
|
12. For H3588 ye shall not H3808 go out H3318 with haste H2649 , nor H3808 go H1980 by flight H4499 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 will go H1980 before H6440 you ; and the God H430 of Israel H3478 will be your rearward H622 .
|
|
13. "Look, my servant will succeed! He will be elevated, lifted high, and greatly exalted�
|
13. Behold H2009 , my servant H5650 shall deal prudently H7919 , he shall be exalted H7311 and extolled H5375 , and be very high H1361 H3966 .
|
|
14. (just as many were horrified by the sight of you) he was so disfigured he no longer looked like a man;
|
14. As H834 many H7227 were astonished H8074 at H5921 thee ; his visage H4758 was so H3651 marred H4893 more than any man H4480 H376 , and his form H8389 more than the sons H4480 H1121 of men H120 :
|
|
15. his form was so marred he no longer looked human� so now he will startle many nations. Kings will be shocked by his exaltation, for they will witness something unannounced to them, and they will understand something they had not heard about.
|
15. So H3651 shall he sprinkle H5137 many H7227 nations H1471 ; the kings H4428 shall shut H7092 their mouths H6310 at H5921 him: for H3588 that which H834 had not H3808 been told H5608 them shall they see H7200 ; and that which H834 they had not H3808 heard H8085 shall they consider H995 .
