Isaías 52— comparação

1Desperte, desperte! Vista-se da sua força, Sião.

2Sacuda de si o pó!

3Pois assim diz o SENHOR: “Vocês foram vendidos por nada;

4Pois assim diz o Senhor DEUS:

5“Agora, portanto, o que eu faço aqui”, diz o SENHOR,

6Portanto, o meu povo conhecerá o meu nome.

7Quão formosos sobre os montes são os pés daquele que traz boas-novas,

8Os seus sentinelas erguem a voz.

9Irrompam em alegria!

10O SENHOR desnudou o seu santo braço aos olhos de todas as nações.

11Partam! Partam! Saiam daí! Não toquem em nada impuro!

12Pois vocês não sairão apressadamente,

13Eis que o meu servo agirá com sabedoria.

14Assim como muitos ficaram pasmos diante de você —

15assim ele purificará muitas nações.

1Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

2Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!

3For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”

4For the Lord Yahweh says: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.

5“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.

6Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”

7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

8Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when Yahweh returns to Zion.

9Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.

10Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

11Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels.

12For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for Yahweh will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

13Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.

14Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—

15so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.
