Notes on this text (2)
- Square brackets mark words Brenton supplied for English sense.
- Old Testament only (no New Testament). First printed 1844; the 1851 edition added the deuterocanonical books.
1 Awake, awake, Sion; put on thy strength, O Sion; and do thou put on thy glory, Jerusalem the holy city: there shall no more pass through thee the uncircumcised and unclean.
1 DESPIERTA, despierta, vístete tu fortaleza, oh Sión; vístete tu ropa de hermosura, oh Jerusalem, ciudad santa: porque nunca más acontecerá que venga á ti incircunciso ni inmundo.
2 Shake off the dust and arise; sit down, Jerusalem: put off the band of thy neck, captive daughter of Sion.
2 Sacúdete del polvo; levántate y siéntate, Jerusalem; suéltate de las ataduras de tu cuello, cautiva hija de Sión.
3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye have been sold for nought; and ye shall not be ransomed with silver.
3 Porque así dice Jehová: De balde fuisteis vendidos; por tanto, sin dinero seréis rescatados.
4 Thus saith the Lord, My people went down before to Egypt to sojourn there; and were carried away forcibly to the Assyrians.
4 Porque así dijo el Señor Jehová: Mi pueblo descendió á Egipto en tiempo pasado, para peregrinar allá; y el Assur lo cautivó sin razón.
5 And now why are ye here? Thus saith the Lord, Because my people was taken for nothing, wonder ye and howl. Thus saith the Lord, On account of you my name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.
5 Y ahora ¿qué á mí aquí, dice Jehová, ya que mi pueblo sea llevado sin por qué? Y los que en él se enseñorean, lo hacen aullar, dice Jehová, y continuamente es blasfemado mi nombre todo el día.
6 Therefore shall my people know my name in that day, for I am he that speaks: I am present,
6 Por tanto, mi pueblo sabrá mi nombre por esta causa en aquel día: porque yo mismo que hablo, he aquí estaré presente.
7 as a season of beauty upon the mountains, as the feet of one preaching glad tidings of peace, as one preaching good news: for I will publish thy salvation, saying, O Sion, thy God shall reign.
7 ¡Cuán hermosos son sobre los montes los pies del que trae alegres nuevas, del que publica la paz, del que trae nuevas del bien, del que publica salud, del que dice á Sión: Tu Dios reina!
8 For the voice of them that guard thee is exalted, and with the voice together they shall rejoice: for eyes shall look to eyes, when the Lord shall have mercy upon Sion.
8 ¡Voz de tus atalayas! alzarán la voz, juntamente darán voces de júbilo; porque ojo á ojo verán que Jehová vuelve á traer á Sión.
9 Let the waste places of Jerusalem break forth [in] joy together, because the Lord has had mercy upon her, and has delivered Jerusalem.
9 Cantad alabanzas, alegraos juntamente, soledades de Jerusalem: porque Jehová ha consolado su pueblo, á Jerusalem ha redimido.
10 And the Lord shall reveal his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation that [comes] from our God.
10 Jehová desnudó el brazo de su santidad ante los ojos de todas las gentes; y todos los términos de la tierra verán la salud del Dios nuestro.
11 Depart ye, depart, go out from thence, and touch not the unclean thing; go ye out from the midst of her; separate yourselves, ye that bear the vessels of the Lord.
11 Apartaos, apartaos, salid de ahí, no toquéis cosa inmunda; salid de en medio de ella; limpiaos los que lleváis los vasos de Jehová.
12 For ye shall not go forth with tumult, neither go by flight: for the Lord shall go first in advance of you; and the God of Israel shall be he that brings up your rear.
12 Porque no saldréis apresurados, ni iréis huyendo; porque Jehová irá delante de vosotros, y os congregará el Dios de Israel.
13 Behold, my servant shall understand, and be exalted, and glorified exceedingly.
13 He aquí que mi siervo será prosperado, será engrandecido y ensalzado, y será muy sublimado.
14 As many shall be amazed at thee, so shall thy face be without glory from men, and thy glory [shall not be honoured] by the sons of men.
14 Como se pasmaron de ti muchos, en tanta manera fué desfigurado de los hombres su parecer; y su hermosura más que la de los hijos de los hombres.
15 Thus shall many nations wonder at him; and kings shall keep their mouths shut: for they to whom no report was brought concerning him, shall see; and they who have not heard, shall consider.
15 Empero él rociará muchas gentes: los reyes cerrarán sobre él sus bocas; porque verán lo que nunca les fué contado, y entenderán lo que jamás habían oído.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But woe to him by whom the name of the Lord is blasphemed! Teach, therefore, sobriety to all, and manifest it also in your own conduct.
And again, when Paul says, "How beautiful are the feet of those bringing glad tidings of good things, and preaching the Gospel of peace," he shows clearly that it was not merely one, but there were many who used to preach the truth.
Speaking in the person of the Father, he says, "Behold, my servant shall understand, and shall be exalted and glorified very much. As many shall be astonished at Thee." This is about Christ.

For this peace the prophet also from of old proclaims, saying, "How beautiful are the feet of them that bring good tidings of peace." Then to explain the value thereof he added, "That bring good tidings of good things." This peace Christ also declared to be great, when He said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto …

The Name of God is in its nature holy, whether we say so or not; but since it is sometimes profaned among sinners, according to the words, Through you My Name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles, we pray that in us God's Name may be hallowed; not that it comes to be holy from not being holy, but …
