1Vågn op, Jerusalem! Vågn op og iklæd dig Herrens kraft! Zion, du hellige by, tag festtøjet på! For de gudløse skal ikke længere have lov at slippe ind gennem dine porte.2Rejs dig fra dine ydmygelser, Jerusalem! Ryst støvet af dig, Zions fangne datter, og befri dig for lænken om din hals!3For Herren siger: „I blev solgt til fangenskab uden betaling, og uden penge skal I købes tilbage.4For længe siden rejste I frivilligt ned til Egypten for at bo der som fremmede. Men senere førte assyrerne jer bort som slaver uden betaling.5Og hvad ser jeg nu? Et andet folk har taget mit folk som slaver uden betaling. Folkets ledere praler af deres overlegenhed, og jeg bliver vanæret dagen lang.6Men mit folk skal få at se, hvem jeg virkelig er, og erfare min magt. Til den tid vil de forstå, at det er mig, Herren, som har talt til dem.”7Hvor bliver det skønt at høre sendebudet komme løbende hen over bjergene med det glædelige budskab om fred og frelse. Til Jerusalems indbyggere råber han: „Din Gud har vist sin kongemagt!”8Vægterne råber og synger af glæde, for med egne øjne ser de Herrens folk vende hjem til Zion.9Bryd ud i jubelsang, Jerusalems ruiner! For Herren har hjulpet sit folk og sat Jerusalems indbyggere i frihed.10Herren har vist sin vældige magt for øjnene af alle folkeslagene. Hele jorden vil få at vide, hvordan Gud har frelst sit folk.11Læg Babylon bag jer, drag bort fra den urene by! Rør ikke ved noget urent, men rens jer, så I kan bære Herrens tempelkar tilbage til Jerusalem.12Forlad byen i ro og orden, ikke som nogle, der flygter for livet. Nej, Herren selv, Israels Gud, vil gå foran jer, og han vil slutte op bag jer med sin beskyttelse.
Herrens lidende tjener
13Herren siger: „Se, det skal lykkes for min tjener. Han bliver ophøjet, får ære og pris.14Mange var målløse ved synet af ham, så umenneskelig ussel og mishandlet så han ud. Men de skal forundres over ham i hans herlighed. Selv konger vil tabe både næse og mund ved synet af ham. For de skal få noget at se, som ingen havde fortalt dem. De skal erfare, hvad de aldrig havde drømt om.”
English Standard Version
The Lord’s Coming Salvation
1Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.2Shake yourself from the dust and arise; be seated, O Jerusalem; loose the bonds from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.3For thus says the Lord: “You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money.”4For thus says the Lord God: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing.*5Now therefore what have I here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and continually all the day my name is despised.6Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here I am.”7How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”8The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice; together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the return of the Lord to Zion.9Break forth together into singing, you waste places of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem.10The Lord has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.11Depart, depart, go out from there; touch no unclean thing; go out from the midst of her; purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels of the Lord.12For you shall not go out in haste, and you shall not go in flight, for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
He Was Pierced for Our Transgressions
13Behold, my servant shall act wisely;* he shall be high and lifted up, and shall be exalted.14As many were astonished at you— his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind—15so shall he sprinkle* many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths because of him, for that which has not been told them they see, and that which they have not heard they understand.
