Isaiæ 52

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Consurge, consurge, induere fortitudine tua, Sion; induere vestimentis gloriae tuae, Ierusalem, civitas sanctitatis, quia non adiciet ultra, ut pertranseat per te incircumcisus et immundus.	1 Awake, 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.
2 Excutere de pulvere, consurge, captiva Ierusalem; solve vincula colli tui, captiva filia Sion.	2 Shake yourself from the dust, arise, O captive Jerusalem; loose the bonds from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 Quia haec dicit Dominus: “ Gratis venumdati estis et sine argento redimemini”.	3 For thus says the LORD: "You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money.
4 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: “ In Aegyptum descendit populus meus inprincipio, ut colonus esset ibi; et Assur sine causa oppressit eum.	4 For thus says the Lord GOD: My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and the Assyrian oppressed them for nothing.
5 Et nuncquid mihi est hic, dicit Dominus, quoniam ablatus est populus meus gratis?Dominatores eius ululant, dicit Dominus, et iugiter tota die nomen meumblasphematur.	5 Now therefore what have I here, says the LORD, seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail, says the LORD, and continually all the day my name is despised.
6 Propter hoc sciet populus meus nomen meum in die illa, quia egoipse, qui loquebar: “Ecce adsum” ”.	6 Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore in that day they shall know that it is I who speak; here am I."
7 Quam pulchri super montes pedes annuntiantis, praedicantis pacem, annuntiantis bonum, praedicantis salutem, dicentis Sion: “Regnavit Deus tuus!”.	7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
8 Vox speculatorum tuorum: levaverunt vocem, simul exsultabunt, quia oculo ad oculum videbunt, cum redierit Dominus ad Sion.	8 Hark, your watchmen lift up their voice, together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the return of the LORD to Zion.
9 Gaudete et exsultate simul, deserta Ierusalem, quia consolatus est Dominus populum suum, redemit Ierusalem.	9 Break forth together into singing, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Nudavit Dominus brachium sanctum suum in oculis omnium gentium; et videbunt omnes fines terrae salutare Dei nostri.	10 The 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.
11 Recedite, recedite, exite inde, pollutum nolite tangere; exite de medio eius, mundamini, qui fertis vasa Domini.	11 Depart, depart, go out thence, touch no unclean thing; go out from the midst of her, purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels of the LORD.
12 Quoniam non in festinatione exibitis nec in fuga properabitis; praecedet enim vos Dominus, et colliget vos Deus Israel.	12 For 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.
13 Ecce prospere aget servus meus; exaltabitur et elevabitur et sublimis erit valde.	13 Behold, my servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
14 Sicut obstupuerunt super eum multi, sic deformis erat, quasi non esset hominis species eius, filiorum hominis aspectus eius,	14 As many were astonished at him-- his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the sons of men--
15 sic disperget gentes multas. Super ipsum continebunt reges os suum, quia, quae non sunt narrata eis, viderunt et, quae non audierunt, contemplati sunt.	15 so shall he startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which has not been told them they shall see, and that which they have not heard they shall understand.
