Liber Isaiae

Isaiae, chapter 52, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 52 Vulgate

   1 Consurge, consurge, induere fortitudine tua, Sion; induere vestimentis gloriae tuae, Ierusalem, civitas sanctitatis, quia non adiciet ultra, ut pertranseat per te incircumcisus et immundus.
   2 Excutere de pulvere, consurge, captiva Ierusalem; solve vincula colli tui, captiva filia Sion.
   3 Quia haec dicit Dominus: "Gratis venumdati estis et sine argento redimemini".
   4 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: "In Aegyptum descendit populus meus in principio, ut colonus esset ibi; et Assur sine causa oppressit eum.
   5 Et nunc quid mihi est hic, dicit Dominus, quoniam ablatus est populus meus gratis? Dominatores eius ululant, dicit Dominus, et iugiter tota die nomen meum blasphematur.
   6 Propter hoc sciet populus meus nomen meum in die illa, quia ego ipse, qui loquebar: "Ecce adsum" ".
   7 Quam pulchri super montes pedes annuntiantis, praedicantis pacem, annuntiantis bonum, praedicantis salutem, dicentis Sion: "Regnavit Deus tuus!".
   8 Vox speculatorum tuorum: levaverunt vocem, simul exsultabunt, quia oculo ad oculum videbunt, cum redierit Dominus ad Sion.
   9 Gaudete et exsultate simul, deserta Ierusalem, quia consolatus est Dominus populum suum, redemit Ierusalem.
   10 Nudavit Dominus brachium sanctum suum in oculis omnium gentium; et videbunt omnes fines terrae salutare Dei nostri.
   11 Recedite, recedite, exite inde, pollutum nolite tangere; exite de medio eius, mundamini, qui fertis vasa Domini.
   12 Quoniam non in festinatione exibitis nec in fuga properabitis; praecedet enim vos Dominus, et colliget vos Deus Israel.
   13 Ecce prospere aget servus meus; exaltabitur et elevabitur et sublimis erit valde.
   14 Sicut obstupuerunt super eum multi, sic deformis erat, quasi non esset hominis species eius, filiorum hominis aspectus eius,
   15 sic disperget gentes multas. Super ipsum continebunt reges os suum, quia, quae non sunt narrata eis, viderunt et, quae non audierunt, contemplati sunt.

King James Version

   1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O 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, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
   3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
   4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
   5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
   6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
   7 ¶ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
   8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
   9 ¶ Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
   10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
   11 ¶ Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
   12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.
   13 ¶ Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
   14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
   15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
