| 1 ἐξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου Σιων ἔνδυσαι τὴν ἰσχύν σου Σιων καὶ ἔνδυσαι τὴν δόξαν σου Ιερουσαλημ πόλις ἡ ἁγία οὐκέτι προστεθήσεται διελθεῖν διὰ σοῦ ἀπερίτμητος καὶ ἀκάθαρτος 2 ἐκτίναξαι τὸν χοῦν καὶ ἀνάστηθι κάθισον Ιερουσαλημ ἔκδυσαι τὸν δεσμὸν τοῦ τραχήλου σου ἡ αἰχμάλωτος θυγάτηρ Σιων 3 ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος δωρεὰν ἐπράθητε καὶ οὐ μετὰ ἀργυρίου λυτρωθήσεσθε 4 οὕτως λέγει κύριος εἰς Αἴγυπτον κατέβη ὁ λαός μου τὸ πρότερον παροικῆσαι ἐκεῖ καὶ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους βίᾳ ἤχθησαν 5 καὶ νῦν τί ὧδέ ἐστε τάδε λέγει κύριος ὅτι ἐλήμφθη ὁ λαός μου δωρεάν θαυμάζετε καὶ ὀλολύζετε τάδε λέγει κύριος δ{I'} ὑμᾶς διὰ παντὸς τὸ ὄνομά μου βλασφημεῖται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν 6 διὰ τοῦτο γνώσεται ὁ λαός μου τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι αὐτὸς ὁ λαλῶν πάρειμι |
1 Up, up, array thyself, Sion, in all thy strength; clothe thyself as befits thy new glory, Jerusalem, city of the Holy One! The uncircumcised, the unclean, shall enter thee no more. 2 Shake the dust from thee, Jerusalem, rise up and take thy throne; rid thy neck of the chains that bound it, Sion, once captive queen! 3 This is the Lord’s promise, You were bartered away for nothing, and you shall be ransomed without cost.[1] 4 Time was, the Lord God says, long ago, when my people went down into Egypt and dwelt among strangers there; time was, since then, they were oppressed, beyond all reason, by the Assyrians; 5 what needs it,[2] the Lord says, then or now, my people should be carried off thus wantonly into exile? Their new masters sin defiantly, bring my name continually into reproach. 6 The day comes when my own people my own name will recognize, nor doubt that I, who promised to be with them, am with them now. |

Consurge, consurge, induere fortitudine tua, Sion!
induere vestimentis gloriæ tuæ,
Jerusalem, civitas Sancti,
quia non adjiciet ultra ut pertranseat per te
incircumcisus et immundus. 2
Excutere de pulvere, consurge;
sede, Jerusalem!
solve vincula colli tui,
captiva filia Sion. 3
Quia hæc dicit Dominus:
Gratis venundati estis,
et sine argento redimemini. 4
Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
In Ægyptum descendit populus meus in principio, ut colonus esset ibi,
et Assur absque ulla causa calumniatus est eum. 5
Et nunc quid mihi est hic, dicit Dominus,
quoniam ablatus est populus meus gratis?
Dominatores ejus inique agunt, dicit Dominus,
et jugiter tota die nomen meum blasphematur. 6
Propter hoc sciet populus meus nomen meum
in die illa:
quia ego ipse qui loquebar, ecce adsum. |
