1 Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.

2 Make yourself clean from the dust; up! and take the seat of your power, O Jerusalem: the bands of your neck are loose, O prisoned daughter of Zion.

3 For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price.

4 For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause.

5 Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.

6 For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.

7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!

8 The voice of your watchmen! their voices are loud in song together; for they will see him, eye to eye, when the Lord comes back to Zion.

9 Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.

10 The Lord has let his holy arm be seen by the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

11 Away! away! go out from there, touching no unclean thing; go out from among her; be clean, you who take up the vessels of the Lord.

12 For you will not go out suddenly, and you will not go in flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will come after you to keep you.

13 See, my servant will do well in his undertakings, he will be honoured, and lifted up, and be very high.

14 As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.

15 So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears.

1 Réveille-toi, réveille-toi, revêts ta gloire, ô Sion! Revêts ton vêtement de parure, Jérusalem, ville sainte! Car il n'entrera plus chez toi d'incirconcis ni d'impur.

2 Secoue ta poussière, lève-toi, Jérusalem captive; détache les liens de ton cou, fille de Sion prisonnière!

3 Car ainsi a dit l'Éternel: Vous avez été vendus pour rien; vous serez aussi rachetés sans argent.

4 Car ainsi a dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel: Mon peuple descendit jadis en Égypte pour y habiter; mais Assur l'a opprimé sans sujet.

5 Et maintenant qu'ai-je à faire ici, dit l'Éternel, quand mon peuple a été enlevé pour rien? Ceux qui dominent sur lui poussent des cris, dit l'Éternel, et chaque jour, mon nom est continuellement outragé.

6 C'est pourquoi mon peuple connaîtra mon nom; c'est pourquoi il saura, en ce jour, que c'est moi qui dis: Me voici!

7 Qu'ils sont beaux sur les montagnes, les pieds de celui qui apporte de bonnes nouvelles, qui publie la paix, qui apporte un bon message, qui publie le salut, qui dit à Sion: Ton Dieu règne!

8 On entend la voix de tes sentinelles: elles élèvent la voix; elles poussent ensemble des cris de joie; car elles voient de leurs yeux que l'Éternel ramène Sion.

9 Éclatez ensemble en cris de joie, ruines de Jérusalem! Car l'Éternel a consolé son peuple, il a racheté Jérusalem.

10 L'Éternel a découvert le bras de sa sainteté, devant les yeux de toutes les nations; tous les bouts de la terre verront le salut de notre Dieu!

11 Retirez-vous, retirez-vous, sortez de là! Ne touchez à rien d'impur, sortez du milieu d'elle; purifiez-vous, vous qui portez les vases de l'Éternel!

12 Car vous ne sortirez pas à la hâte, et vous ne marcherez pas en fuyant; mais l'Éternel marche devant vous, et votre arrière garde est le Dieu d'Israël.

13 Voici, mon Élu, mon serviteur prospérera; il montera, il s'élèvera, il grandira puissamment.

14 Comme plusieurs ont été étonnés à cause de lui, tant son visage était défait et méconnaissable, tant son aspect différait de celui des hommes;

15 Ainsi il renversera plusieurs nations. Les rois fermeront la bouche devant lui; car ils verront ce qui ne leur avait pas été raconté, ils apprendront ce qu'ils n'avaient point entendu.
