Chapter 52

¹Awake, awake, Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion; Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no longer come into you.

¹錫安哪，興起！興起！披上你的能力！聖城耶路撒冷啊，穿上你華美的衣服！因為從今以後，未受割禮、不潔淨的必不再進入你中間。

²Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, O captive Jerusalem; Loose yourself from the chains around your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.

²耶路撒冷啊，要抖下塵土！起來坐在位上！錫安被擄的居民（原文是女子）哪，要解開你頸項的鎖鍊！

³For thus says the LORD, 'You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed without money.'

³耶和華如此說：你們是無價被賣的，也必無銀被贖。

⁴For thus says the Lord GOD, 'My people went down at the first into Egypt to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

⁴主耶和華如此說：起先我的百姓下到埃及，在那裡寄居，又有亞述人無故欺壓他們。

⁵'Now therefore, what do I have here,' declares the LORD, 'seeing that My people have been taken away without cause?' [Again] the LORD declares, 'Those who rule over them howl, and My name is continually blasphemed all day long.

⁵耶和華說：我的百姓既是無價被擄去，如今我在這裡做甚麼呢？耶和華說：轄制他們的人呼叫，我的名整天受褻瀆。

⁶'Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, 'Here I am.''

⁶所以，我的百姓必知道我的名；到那日他們必知道說這話的就是我。看哪，是我！

⁷How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace And brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, [And] says to Zion, 'Your God reigns!'

⁷那報佳音，傳平安，報好信，傳救恩的，對錫安說：你的神作王了！這人的腳登山何等佳美！

⁸Listen! Your watchmen lift up [their] voices, They shout joyfully together; For they will see with their own eyes When the LORD restores Zion.

⁸聽啊，你守望之人的聲音，他們揚起聲來，一同歌唱；因為耶和華歸回錫安的時候，他們必親眼看見。

⁹Break forth, shout joyfully together, You waste places of Jerusalem; For the LORD has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem.

⁹耶路撒冷的荒場啊，要發起歡聲，一同歌唱；因為耶和華安慰了他的百姓，救贖了耶路撒冷。

¹⁰The LORD has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God.

¹⁰耶和華在萬國眼前露出聖臂；地極的人都看見我們神的救恩了。

¹¹Depart, depart, go out from there, Touch nothing unclean; Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, You who carry the vessels of the LORD.

¹¹你們離開罷！離開罷！從巴比倫出來。不要沾不潔淨的物；要從其中出來。你們扛抬耶和華器皿的人哪，務要自潔。

¹²But you will not go out in haste, Nor will you go as fugitives; For the LORD will go before you, And the God of Israel [will be] your rear guard.

¹²你們出來必不致急忙，也不致奔逃。因為，耶和華必在你們前頭行；以色列的神必作你們的後盾。

¹³Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.

¹³我的僕人行事必有智慧（或譯：行事通達），必被高舉上升，且成為至高。

¹⁴Just as many were astonished at you, [My people], So His appearance was marred more than any man And His form more than the sons of men.

¹⁴許多人因他（原文是你）驚奇；他的面貌比別人憔悴；他的形容比世人枯槁。

¹⁵Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; For what had not been told them they will see, And what they had not heard they will understand.

¹⁵這樣，他必洗淨（或譯：鼓動）許多國民；君王要向他閉口。因所未曾傳與他們的，他們必看見；未曾聽見的，他們要明白。
