Day 20

Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake, O Zion,
clothe yourself with strength.
Put on your garments of splendor,
O Jerusalem, the holy city.
The uncircumcised and defiled
will not enter you again.

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


7 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!"

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

9 Burst into songs of joy together,
you ruins of Jerusalem,
for the LORD has comforted his people,
he has redeemed Jerusalem.

10 The LORD will lay 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.

11 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 .

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


以 賽 亞 書 52

1 錫安哪、興起、興起、披上你的能力.聖城耶路撒冷阿、穿上你華美的衣服.因為從今以後、未受割禮不潔淨的、必不再進入你中間。

2 耶路撒冷阿、要抖下塵土.起來坐在位上.錫安被擄的居民哪、〔居民原文作女子〕要解開你頸項的鎖鍊。

7 那報佳音、傳平安、報好信、傳救恩的、對錫安說、你的 神作王了.這人的腳登山何等佳美。

8 聽阿、你守望之人的聲音.他們揚起聲來、一同歌唱.因為耶和華歸回錫安的時候、他們必親眼看見。

9 耶路撒冷的荒場阿、要發起歡聲、一同歌唱.因為耶和華安慰了他的百姓、救贖了耶路撒冷。

10 耶和華在萬國眼前露出聖臂.地極的人都看見我們 神的救恩了。

11 你們離開吧、離開吧、從巴比倫出來、不要沾不潔淨的物.要從其中出來.你們扛抬耶和華器皿的人哪、務要自潔。

12 你們出來必不至急忙、也不至奔逃.因為耶和華必在你們前頭行.以色列的 神必作你們的後盾。
