Isaiah 52

New International Reader’s Version

from Biblica
1 Wake up! Zion, wake up! Dress yourself with strength as if it were your clothes. Holy city of Jerusalem, put on your clothes of glory. Those who haven’t been circumcised will never enter you again. Neither will those who are ‘unclean’. 2 Get up, Jerusalem! Shake off your dust. Take your place on your throne. Captured people of Zion, remove the chains from your neck. 3 The LORD says, ‘When you were sold as slaves, no one paid anything for you. Now no one will pay any money to set you free.’ 4 The LORD and King continues, ‘Long ago my people went down to Egypt. They lived there for a while. Later, Assyria crushed them without any reason. 5 ‘Now look at what has happened to them,’ announces the LORD. ‘Once again my people have been taken away. And no one paid anything for them. Those who rule over them boast about it,’ announces the LORD. ‘All day long without stopping, people speak evil things against my name. 6 So the day will come when my people will really know the meaning of my name. They will know what kind of God I am. They will know that I told them in advance they would return to their land. They will know that it was I.’ 7 What a beautiful sight it is to see messengers coming with good news! How beautiful to see them coming down from the mountains with a message about peace! How wonderful it is when they bring the good news that we are saved! How wonderful when they say to Zion, ‘Your God rules!’ 8 Listen! Those on guard duty are shouting out the message. With their own eyes they see the LORD returning to Zion. So they shout for joy. 9 Burst into songs of joy together, you broken-down buildings in Jerusalem. The LORD has comforted his people. He has set Jerusalem free. 10 The LORD will use the power of his holy arm to save his people. All the nations will see him do it. Everyone from one end of the earth to the other will see it. 11 You who carry the objects that belong to the LORD’s temple, leave Babylon! Leave it! Get out of there! Don’t touch anything that isn’t pure and ‘clean’. Come out of Babylon and be pure. 12 But this time you won’t have to leave in a hurry. You won’t have to rush away. The LORD will go ahead of you and lead you. The God of Israel will follow behind you and guard you. 13 The LORD says, ‘My servant will act wisely and accomplish his task. He will be highly honoured. He will be greatly respected. 14 Many people were shocked when they saw him. He was so scarred that he no longer looked like a person. His body was so twisted that he did not look like a human being anymore. 15 But many nations will be surprised when they see what he has done. Kings will be so amazed that they will not be able to say anything. They will understand things they were never told. They will know the meaning of things they never heard.’

Isaiah 52

Библия, ревизирано издание

from Bulgarian Bible Society
1 Събуди се, събуди се, облечи силата си, Сионе; облечи великолепните си дрехи, Йерусалиме, святи граде, защото отсега нататък няма да влезе в тебе необрязан и нечист. (Ne 11:1; Isa 35:8; Isa 48:2; Isa 51:9; Isa 51:17; Isa 60:21; Na 1:15; Mt 4:5; Re 21:2) 2 Отърси от себе си пръстта; стани, заробен Йерусалиме! Освободи се от връзките по шията ти, пленена дъще Сионова! (Isa 3:26; Isa 51:23; Zec 2:7; Re 21:27) 3 Защото така казва ГОСПОД: Продадохте се за нищо; и ще бъдете изкупени без пари. (Ps 44:12; Isa 45:13; Jer 15:13) 4 Защото така казва Господ ЙЕХОВА: Народът Ми слезе първо в Египет, за да поживее там; после и асирийците го угнетяваха без причина. (Ge 46:6; Ac 7:14) 5 И така, сега какво да правя тук, казва ГОСПОД, тъй като народът Ми бе взет за нищо? Владеещите над него вият, казва ГОСПОД, и името Ми непрестанно е хулено всеки ден. (Eze 36:20; Eze 36:23; Ro 2:24) 6 Затова народът Ми ще познае Моето име; затова ще познае в онзи ден, че Аз съм, Който говоря – ето, Аз. 7 Колко са прекрасни върху планините краката на онзи, който благовества, който проповядва мир! Който благовества добро, който проповядва спасение! Който казва на Сион: Твоят Бог царува! (Ps 93:1; Ps 96:10; Ps 97:1; Na 1:15; Ro 10:15) 8 Ето гласа на стражите ти! Издигат гласа си, всички възклицават; защото ще видят ясно с очите си как ГОСПОД се връща в Сион. 9 Възкликнете, запейте заедно, запустели йерусалимски места; защото ГОСПОД утеши народа Си, изкупи Йерусалим. (Isa 48:20; Isa 51:3) 10 ГОСПОД запретна святата Си мишца пред всички народи; и всички земни краища ще видят спасението от нашия Бог. (Ps 98:2; Ps 98:3; Lu 3:6) 11 Оттеглете се, оттеглете се, излезте оттам. Не се допирай до нечисто; излезте изсред него; очистете се, вие, които носите съдовете ГОСПОДНИ; (Le 22:2; Isa 48:20; Jer 50:8; Jer 51:6; Jer 51:45; Zec 2:6; Zec 2:7; 2Co 6:17; Re 18:4) 12 защото няма да излезете набързо, нито ще пътувате бегом, защото ГОСПОД ще върви пред вас и Израилевият Бог ще ви бъде задна стража. (Ex 12:33; Ex 12:39; Ex 14:19; Nu 10:25; Isa 58:8; Mic 2:13) 13 Ето, Слугата Ми ще благоуспее, ще се извиси и издигне, и ще се възнесе високо. (Isa 42:1; Isa 53:10; Jer 23:5; Php 2:9) 14 Както мнозина се чудеха на тебе (толкова беше погрозняло лицето му, повече от лицето на който и да е бил човек, и образът му – от образа на който и да е от човешките синове), (Ps 22:6; Ps 22:7; Isa 53:2; Isa 53:3) 15 така той ще удиви много народи; царете ще затворят устата си пред него, защото ще видят онова, за което не им е било говорено, и ще разберат това, което не са чули. (Isa 49:7; Isa 49:23; Isa 55:5; Eze 36:25; Ac 2:33; Ro 15:21; Ro 16:25; Ro 16:26; Eph 3:5; Eph 3:9)
