1Wake up <05782>! Wake up <05782>! Clothe <03847> yourself with strength <05797>, O Zion <06726>! Put on <03847> your beautiful <08597> clothes <0899>, O Jerusalem <03389>, holy <06944> city <05892>! For <03588> uncircumcised <06189> and unclean <02931> pagans will no <03808> longer <03254> invade <0935> you.
2Shake off <05287> the dirt <06083>! Get up <06965>, captive Jerusalem <03389>! Take off <06605> the iron chains <04147> around your neck <06677>, O captive <07628> daughter <01323> Zion <06726>!
3For <03588> this is what <03541> the Lord <03068> says <0559>: “You were sold <04376> for nothing <02600>, and you will not <03808> be redeemed <01350> for money <03701>.”
4For <03588> this is what <03541> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069> says <0559>: “In the beginning <07223> my people <05971> went to live <03381> temporarily <01481> in Egypt <04714>; Assyria <0804> oppressed <06231> them for no good reason <0657>.
5And now <06258>, what <04100> do we have here <06311>?” says <05002> the Lord <03068>. “Indeed my people <05971> have been carried away <03947> for nothing <02600>, those who rule <04910> over them taunt <03213>,” says <05002> the Lord <03068>, “and my name <08034> is constantly <08548> slandered <05006> all <03605> day <03117> long.
6For this reason <03651> my people <05971> will know <03045> my name <08034>, for this reason <03651> they <01931> will know at that time <03117> that <03588> I <0589> am the one <01931> who says <01696>, ‘Here <02005> I am.’”
7How <04100> delightful <04998> it is to see approaching over <05921> the mountains <02022> the feet <07272> of a messenger <01319> who announces <08085> peace <07965>, a messenger <01319> who brings good <02896> news, who announces <08085> deliverance <03444>, who says <0559> to Zion <06726>, “Your God <0430> reigns <04427>!”
8Listen <06963>, your watchmen <06822> shout <06963>; in unison <03162> they shout for joy <07442>, for <03588> they see <05869> with their very own eyes <07200> <05869> the Lord’s <03068> return <07725> to Zion <06726>.
9In unison <03162> give <06476> a joyful shout <07442>, O ruins <02723> of Jerusalem <03389>! For <03588> the Lord <03068> consoles <05162> his people <05971>; he protects <01350> Jerusalem <03389>.
10The Lord <03068> reveals <02834> his royal <06944> power <02220> in the sight <05869> of all <03605> the nations <01471>; the entire <03605> earth <0776> sees <07200> our God <0430> deliver <03444>.
11Leave <05493>! Leave <05493>! Get out <03318> of there <08033>! Don’t <0408> touch <05060> anything unclean <02931>! Get out <03318> of it <08432>! Stay pure <01305>, you who carry <05375> the Lord’s <03068> holy items <03627>!
12Yet <03588> do not <03808> depart <03318> quickly <02649> or <03808> leave <01980> in a panic <04499>. For <03588> the Lord <03069> goes <01980> before <06440> you; the God <0430> of Israel <03478> is your rear guard <0622>.
13“Look <02009>, my servant <05650> will succeed <07919>! He will be elevated <07311>, lifted high <05375>, and greatly <03966> exalted <01361>–
14(just <0834> as many <07227> were horrified <08074> by <05921> the sight <04758> of you) he was so <03651> disfigured <04893> he no longer looked like <08389> a man <0120> <01121>;
15his form was so <03651> marred he no longer looked human– so now he will startle <05137> many <07227> nations <01471>. Kings <04428> will be shocked <07092> by <05921> his exaltation <06310>, for <0834> they will witness <07200> something unannounced <05608> <03808> to them, and they will understand <0995> something they had not <03808> heard <08085> about.
