以賽亞書 52:1-15

錫安必獲救

1錫安啊,醒來吧,醒來吧,展示你的能力!

聖城耶路撒冷啊,

穿上你華美的衣服!

從今以後,

未受割禮和不潔淨的人必不得進入你的城門。

2耶路撒冷啊,抖掉身上的灰塵,

起來坐到寶座上!

被擄的錫安城啊,

卸去你頸上的鎖鏈!

3耶和華說:「你們被賣未得分文,你們被贖回也不需分文。」 4主耶和華說:「起先我的子民到埃及寄居,後來亞述人無緣無故地欺壓他們。」 5耶和華說:「我這裡還有什麼呢?我的子民白白地被擄去,轄制他們的人咆哮大叫,我的名整天被褻瀆。 6然而,我的子民終會認識我的名。到那日,他們就會知道是我對他們說,『我在這裡。』」

7那穿山越嶺之人的腳蹤是何等佳美!

他帶來佳音,報告平安,

傳遞喜訊,宣佈救恩,

錫安說:「你的上帝做王了。」

8聽啊,你的守望者都一同高聲歡呼,

因為耶和華回到錫安的時候,

他們必親眼看見。

9耶路撒冷的荒場啊,

你們要一同歡呼歌唱,

因為耶和華安慰了祂的子民,

救贖了耶路撒冷

10耶和華要向萬國展現祂神聖的大能,

普天下將看見我們上帝的救恩。

11離開吧,離開吧,

離開巴比倫吧!

不要碰不潔淨的東西。

你們抬耶和華器具的人啊,

要從那裡出來,要潔淨自己。

12你們不必匆忙離開,

也不用奔逃,

因為耶和華必走在你們前面,

以色列的上帝必作你們的後盾。

13看啊,我的僕人必成功,

受到擁戴、仰慕和尊崇。

14許多人看見祂就詫異,

祂的面容被毀、身體被殘害得不成人樣。

15祂必洗淨許多國家,

君王必因祂而閉口無言。

因為他們將看見未曾聽過的事,

明白聞所未聞的事。

New International Reader’s Version

Isaiah 52:1-15

1Wake 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.”

2Get up, Jerusalem! Shake off your dust.

Take your place on your throne.

Captured people of Zion,

remove the chains from your neck.

3The 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.”

4The 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 brag about it,”

announces the Lord.

“All day long without stopping,

people speak evil things against my name.

6So 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 ahead of time they would return to their land.

They will know that it was I.”

7What 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!”

8Listen! 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.

9Burst into songs of joy together,

you broken-down buildings in Jerusalem.

The Lord has comforted his people.

He has set Jerusalem free.

10The 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.

11You 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.

12But 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.

The Suffering and Glory of the Lord’s Servant

13The Lord says, “My servant will act wisely and accomplish his task.

He will be highly honored. He will be greatly respected.

14Many 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.

15But 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.”
