Isaiah 52

uri uri livshi uzzekh tsiyyon livshi bigde tifartekh yerushalai͏m ir haqqodesh ki lo yosif yavo-vakh od arel vetame

Awake, awake, O Zion! Clothe yourself in splendor; Put on your robes of majesty, Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and the impure Shall never enter you again.

hitna'ari me'afar qumi shevi yerushalai͏m (htftkhv) [hitpattekhi] mosere tsavvarekh sheviyyah bat-tsiyyon

Arise, shake off the dust, Sit [on your throne], Jerusalem! Loose the bonds from your neck, O captive one, Fair Zion!

ki-khoh amar Adonai khinnam nimkartem velo vekhesef tigga'elu

For thus said GOD: You were sold for no price, And shall be redeemed without money.

ki khoh amar adonay Elohim mitsrayim yarad-ammi varishonah lagur sham ve'ashur be'efes ashaqo

For thus said my Sovereign GOD: Of old, My people went down To Egypt to sojourn there; But Assyria has robbed them, Giving nothing in return.

ve'attah mah-lli-foh ne'um-Adonai ki-luqqakh ammi khinnam moshelav yehelilu ne'um-Adonai vetamid kol-hayyom shemi minno'ats

What therefore do I gain here? —declares GOD— For My people has been carried off for nothing, Their mockers howl —declares GOD— And constantly, unceasingly, My name is reviled.

lakhen yeda ammi shemi lakhen bayyom hahu ki-ani-hu hamedabber hinneni

Assuredly, My people shall learn My name, Assuredly [they shall learn] on that day That I, the One who promised, Am now at hand.

mah-nnavu al-heharim ragle mevasser mashmia shalom mevasser tov mashmia yeshu'ah omer letsiyyon malakh elohayikh

How welcome on the mountain Are the footsteps of the herald Announcing happiness, Heralding good fortune, Announcing victory, Telling Zion, “Your God reigns!”

qol tsofayikh nase'u qol yakhdav yerannenu ki ayin be'ayin yiru beshuv Adonai tsiyyon

Hark! Your lookouts raise their voices, As one they shout for joy; For every eye shall behold GOD ’s return to Zion.

pitskhu rannenu yakhdav khorvot yerushalai͏m ki-nikham Adonai ammo ga'al yerushalai͏m

Raise a shout together, O ruins of Jerusalem! For GOD will comfort this people, Will redeem Jerusalem.

khasaf Adonai et-zeroa qodsho le'ene kol-haggoyim vera'u kol-afse-arets et yeshu'at elohenu

GOD will bare a holy arm In the sight of all the nations, And the very ends of earth shall see The victory of our God.

suru suru tse'u misham tame al-tigga'u tse'u mittokhah hibbaru nose'e kele Adonai

Turn, turn away, touch naught impure As you depart from there; Keep pure, as you go forth from there, You who bear the vessels of GOD!

ki lo vekhippazon tetse'u uvimnusah lo telekhun ki-holekh lifnekhem Adonai ume'assifkhem elohe yisra'el

For you will not depart in haste, Nor will you leave in flight; For GOD is marching before you, The God of Israel is your rear guard.

hinneh yaskil avdi yarum venissa vegavah me'od

“Indeed, My servant shall prosper, Be exalted and raised to great heights.

ka'asher shamemu alekha rabbim ken-mishkhat me'ish marehu veto'aro mibbene adam

Just as the many were appalled at him— So marred was his appearance, unlike that of a person, His form, beyond human semblance—

ken yazzeh goyim rabbim alayw yiqpetsu melakhim pihem ki asher lo-suppar lahem ra'u va'asher lo-shame'u hitbonanu

Just so he shall startle many nations. Kings shall be silenced because of him, For they shall see what has not been told them, Shall behold what they never have heard.”
