1 Vågn op, vågn op, ifør dig tag dit Højtidsskrud på, Jerusalem, hellige By! Thi uomskårne, urene Folk skal ej mer komme ind.

1 Awake, awake,Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion;Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments,O Jerusalem, the holy city;For the uncircumcised and the uncleanWill no longer come into you.

2 Ryst Støvet af dig, stå op, tag Sæde, Jerusalem, fri dig for Halslænken, Zions fangne Datter!

2 Shake yourself from the dust, rise up,O captive Jerusalem;Loose yourself from the chains around your neck,O captive daughter of Zion.

3 Thi så siger HERREN: For intet solgtes I, og uden Sølv skal I løskøbes.

3 For thus says the Lord, “You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed without money.”

4 Thi så siger den Herre HERREN: I Begyndelsen drog mit Folk ned til Ægypten for at bo der som fremmed, og siden undertrykte Assyrien det uden Vederlag.

4 For thus says the Lord God, “My people went down at the first into Egypt to reside there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

5 Og nu? Hvad har jeg at gøre her? lyder det fra HERREN; mit Folk er jo ranet for intet. De, der hersker over det, brovter, lyder det fra HERREN, og mit Navn vanæres ustandseligt Dagen lang.

5 Now therefore, what do I have here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that My people have been taken away without cause?” Again the Lord declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My name is continually blasphemed all day long.

6 Derfor skal mit Folk kende mit Navn på hin Dag, at det er mig, som har talet, ja mig.

6 Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’”

7 Hvor liflige er på Bjergene Glædesbudets Fodtrin, han, som udråber Fred, bringer gode Tidender, udråber Frelse, som siger til Zion: "Din Gud har vist, han er Konge."

7 How lovely on the mountainsAre the feet of him who brings good news,Who announces peaceAnd brings good news of happiness,Who announces salvation,And says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

8 Hør, dine Vægtere råber, de jubler til Hobe, thi de ser for deres Øjne HERREN vende hjem til Zion.

8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,They shout joyfully together;For they will see with their own eyesWhen the Lord restores Zion.

9 Bryd ud til Hobe i Jubel, Jerusalems Tomter! Thi HERREN trøster sit Folk, genløser Jerusalem.

9 Break forth, shout joyfully together,You waste places of Jerusalem;For the Lord has comforted His people,He has redeemed Jerusalem.

10 Han blotter sin hellige Arm for al Folkenes Øjne, den vide Jord skal skue Frelsen fra vor Gud.

10 The Lord has bared His holy armIn the sight of all the nations,That all the ends of the earth may seeThe salvation of our God.

11 Bort, bort, drag ud derfra, rør ej noget urent, bort, tvæt jer, I, som bærer HERRENs Kar!

11 Depart, depart, go out from there,Touch nothing unclean;Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves,You who carry the vessels of the Lord.

12 Thi i Hast skal I ej drage ud, I skal ikke flygte; nej, foran eder går HERREN, eders Tog slutter Israels Gud.

12 But you will not go out in haste,Nor will you go as fugitives;For the Lord will go before you,And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

13 Se, min Tjener får Fremgang han stiger, løftes og ophøjes såre.

13 Behold, My servant will prosper,He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted.

14 Som mange blev målløse over ham, så umenneskelig ussel så han ud, han ligned ej Menneskenes Børn

14 Just as many were astonished at you, My people,So His appearance was marred more than any manAnd His form more than the sons of men.

15 skal Folk i Mængde undres, Konger blive stumme over ham; thi hvad ikke var sagt dem, ser de, de skuer, hvad de ikke havde hørt. 

15 Thus He will sprinkle many nations,Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him;For what had not been told them they will see,And what they had not heard they will understand.
