1
Awake, awake; clothe yourself with your strength, Tziyon. Clothe yourself with garments of your beauty, Yerushalayim, holy city. For no longer shall the uncircumcised and unclean continue entering into you.
2
Shake yourself from the dust; arise. Sit, Yerushalayim. Loose the bonds from your neck, captive daughter of Tziyon.
3
For thus says Yahuah: “For nothing you were sold, and not with silver shall you be redeemed.”
4
For thus says Adonai Yahuah: “My people descended at the beginning to Mitzrayim to sojourn there, and Ashshur oppressed them without cause.
5
And now, what is here for Me?” declares Yahuah. “For My people are taken for nothing. Those ruling over them howl,” declares Yahuah, “and continually, all day, My Name is despised.
6
Therefore My people shall know My Name. Therefore in that day they shall know that I am He who speaks. See—it is I.”
7
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the one bringing good news, causing shalom to be heard, bringing good news of good, causing Salvation to be heard, saying to Tziyon, “Your Elohim reigns.”
8
The voice of your watchmen— they lift the voice; together they shout. For eye to eye they shall see when Yahuah returns Tziyon.
9
Break forth; shout together, ruins of Yerushalayim. For Yahuah has comforted His people; He has redeemed Yerushalayim.
10
Yahuah has bared His holy arm before the eyes of all the nations, and all ends of the earth shall see the Salvation of our Elohim.
11
Turn away; turn away; go out from there. Touch no unclean thing. Go out from her midst. Purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels of Yahuah.
12
For you shall not go out in haste, nor walk in flight. For Yahuah walks before your face, and the Elohim of Yisra’el is your rear guard.
13
See, My Servant shall act wisely. He shall be high and lifted and exceedingly exalted.
14
Just as many were astonished at You— so disfigured from an ish was His appearance, and His form from the sons of Adam—
15
so He shall startle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths because of Him, for what had not been recounted to them they shall see, and what they had not heard they shall understand.
