Våkn opp, våkn opp, kle deg i din styrke, Sion, kle deg i dine vakre klær, Jerusalem, den hellige by. For aldri mer skal de uomskårne og urene komme inn i deg.

Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion! Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for the uncircumcised and the unclean will never enter you again.

Rist støvet av deg, stå opp, sett deg Jerusalem. Løs dine lenker fra halsen, fangne datter Sion.

Shake off the dust, rise up; sit enthroned, Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains around your neck, captive Daughter of Zion.

For slik sier Herren: For intet ble dere solgt, og uten penger skal dere bli løskjøpt.

For this is what the LORD says: You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.

For så sier Herren Gud: Mitt folk gikk ned til Egypt i begynnelsen for å bo der som fremmede, og Assyria undertrykte dem uten grunn.

For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Long ago my people went down to Egypt to live there as foreigners, and Assyria oppressed them for no reason.

Og nå, hva har jeg her? sier Herren. For mitt folk er tatt bort uten grunn, og de som hersker over dem roper triumferende, sier Herren, og hele dagen blir mitt navn vanhelliget.

And now, what do I have here? declares the LORD. My people have been taken away for nothing, and their rulers mock, declares the LORD. And all day long, my name is constantly blasphemed.

Derfor skal mitt folk kjenne mitt navn, derfor skal de på den dagen vite at det er jeg som sier: Se, her er jeg.

Therefore my people will know my name; therefore on that day they will know that it is I who foretold this—here I am.

Hvor vakre er ikke fottrinnene til den som bringer gode budskap, som forkynder fred, som bringer gode nyheter om frelse, sier til Sion: Din Gud er konge!

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns!'.

Hør, dine vektere roper høyt, de bryter ut i jubel sammen, for de ser overfor sine øyne når Herren vender tilbake til Sion.

Listen! Your watchmen raise their voices; together they shout for joy. When the LORD returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes.

Bryt ut i jubel, rop med glede sammen, dere Jerusalems ruiner! For Herren har trøstet sitt folk, han har forløst Jerusalem.

Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.

Herren har avdekket sin hellige arm foran alle nasjoners øyne, og alle jordens ender skal se vår Guds frelse.

The LORD has laid bare His holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

Gå bort, gå bort, forlat det stedet, rør ikke noe urent; gå ut fra henne, rens dere, dere som bærer Herrens kar.

Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.

For dere skal ikke dra ut i hast, og ikke flykte, for Herren går foran dere, og Israels Gud er deres bakvakt.

For you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

Se, min tjener skal ha framgang, han skal løftes opp, bli opphøyd og svært opphøyet.

Behold, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised up, lifted high, and greatly exalted.

Slik mange ble forskrekket over deg, så ødelagt var hans utseende, mer enn noen mann, og hans skikkelse, mer enn menneskenes sønner.

Just as many were appalled at you—his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man, and his form marred beyond human likeness—

Slik skal han overraske mange folkeslag, konger skal lukke sine munner for ham; for det som ikke var fortalt dem, skal de se, og det de ikke hadde hørt, skal de forstå.

so he will startle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
