Isaiah

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 the LORD says, “You were sold for nothing;and you will be redeemed without money.”

4For the Lord GOD 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 the LORD,“seeing that my people are taken away for nothing?Those who rule over them mock,” says the LORD,“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 the LORD returns to Zion.

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

10The LORD 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 amongst her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry the LORD’s vessels.

12For you shall not go out in haste,neither shall you go by flight;for the LORD 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 cleansemany 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.

1sẽ không còn bước vào thành thánh nữa.

2Nào thiếu nữ Xi-on bị tù đày, hãy mở tung xích xiềng buộc cổ !

3thì sẽ được chuộc về cũng không mất một xu.

4rồi bị Át-sua đàn áp bất công.

5và suốt ngày danh Ta không ngớt bị cười chê !

6nhận biết rằng : chính Ta là Đấng đã phán : “Này Ta đây !”

7và nói với Xi-on rằng : “Thiên Chúa ngươi là Vua hiển trị.”

8họ sẽ được tận mắt thấy ĐỨC CHÚA đang trở về Xi-on.

9vì ĐỨC CHÚA an ủi dân Người, và cứu chuộc Giê-ru-sa-lem.

10người bốn bể rồi ra nhìn thấy.

11hỡi những ai mang đồ thờ phượng ĐỨC CHÚA !

12và Đấng hậu vệ sẽ là Thiên Chúa của Ít-ra-en.

13sẽ vươn cao, nổi bật, và được suy tôn đến tột cùng.

14không còn dáng vẻ người ta nữa,

15được hiểu điều chưa nghe nói bao giờ.
