1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, captive daughter of Zion.3 For thus saith Jehovah: Ye have sold yourselves for nought, and ye shall be redeemed without money.4 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there, and Assyria oppressed them without cause;5 and now, what have I here, saith Jehovah, that my people hath been taken away for nought? They that rule over them make them to howl, saith Jehovah; and continually all the day is my name scorned.6 Therefore my people shall know my name; therefore {they shall know} in that day that I {am} HE, that saith, Here am I.7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that announceth glad tidings, that publisheth peace; that announceth glad tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!8 -The voice of thy watchmen, they lift up the voice, they sing aloud together; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah shall bring again Zion.9 Break forth, sing aloud together, waste places of Jerusalem; for Jehovah comforteth his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.10 Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.11 -Depart, depart, go out from thence, touch not what is unclean; go out of the midst of her, be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Jehovah.12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear-guard.13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently; he shall be exalted and be lifted up, and be very high.14 As many were astonished at thee-his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the children of men15 -so shall he astonish many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for what had not been told them shall they see, and what they had not heard shall they consider.

1 Ontwaak, ontwaak, beklee jou met sterkte, o Sion, trek jou sierlike klere aan, o Jerusalem, heilige stad! Want in jou sal verder geen onbesnedene of onreine meer kom nie.2 Skud jou los uit die stof, staan op, sit neer, o Jerusalem! Maak los die bande aan jou hals, o gevangene, dogter van Sion!3 Want so sê die HERE: Vir niks is julle verkoop, julle sal ook sonder geld gelos word.4 Want so sê die Here HERE: In vroeër dae het my volk afgetrek na Egipte om daar as vreemdeling te vertoef, en Assur het hom sonder rede verdruk.5 Maar nou, wat vind Ek hier? spreek die HERE; want my volk is vir niks weggeneem, sy oorheersers maak geraas, spreek die HERE, en my Naam word gedurigdeur die hele dag gelaster.6 Daarom sal my volk my Naam leer ken; daarom sal hulle weet op die dag dat dit Ek is wat spreek: Hier is Ek!7 Hoe lieflik is op die berge die voete van hom wat die goeie boodskap bring, wat vrede laat hoor, wat goeie tyding bring, wat verlossing uitroep; wat aan Sion sê: Jou God is Koning!8 Hoor! Jou wagte! Hulle verhef die stem, hulle jubel almal saam; want hulle sien vlak voor hulle oë hoe die HERE terugkeer na Sion.9 Breek uit, jubel almal saam, puinhope van Jerusalem! Want die HERE het sy volk getroos, Jerusalem verlos.10 Die HERE het sy heilige arm ontbloot voor die oë van al die nasies, en al die eindes van die aarde sal sien die heil van onse God.11 Vertrek, vertrek, gaan weg daarvandaan, raak nie aan wat onrein is nie; gaan uit hulle midde uit, reinig julle, draers van die heilige voorwerpe van die HERE!12 Want julle sal nie baie haastig weggaan en nie soos vlugtelinge vertrek nie; want die HERE trek voor julle uit, en die God van Israel is julle agterhoede.13 Kyk, my Kneg sal voorspoedig wees, Hy sal hoog en verhewe, ja, baie hoog word.14 Soos baie hulle oor U verstom het -- so misvormd was sy voorkoms, geen mens meer nie, en sy gestalte was nie soos die van 'n mensekind nie --15 so sal Hy baie nasies laat opspring, konings sal hulle mond oor Hom toehou; want wat aan hulle nie vertel is nie, sien hulle; en wat hulle nie gehoor het nie, word hulle gewaar.
