1. 1

   אִתְגְלָא אִתְגְלָא לִבְשִׁי תוּקְפֵךְ צִיוֹן לִבְשִׁי לְבוּשִׁי תּוּשְׁבַּחְתִּיךְ יְרוּשָׁלַםִ קַרְתָּא דְקוּדְשָׁא אֲרֵי לָא יוֹסְפוּן וְיֶעְדוּן בִּיךְ עוֹד עָרְלִין וּמְסַאֲבִין:

   Reveal thyself, reveal thyself, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the city of holiness: for the uncircumcised and the polluted shall pass no more through thee.

2. 2

   אִתְנַפַּצִי מֵעָפְרָא קוּמִי תְבִי עַל כּוּרְסֵי יְקָרָא יְרוּשְׁלֵם אִתְפְּסָקוּ חִנְקֵי צַוְרֵיכוֹן שְׁבִיָא כְּנִשְׁתָּא דְצִיוֹן:

   Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit upon the throne of glory, O Jerusalem; the chains of thy neck are broken, O captive congregation of Zion.

3. 3

   אֲרֵי כִדְנָן אֲמַר יְיָ מַגָן אִזְדַבִּנְתּוּן וְלָא בִכְסַף תִּתְפַּרְקוּן:

   For thus saith the Lord, Ye were sold for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

4. 4

   אֲרֵי כִדְנַן אֲמַר יְיָ אֱלֹהִים לְמִצְרַיִם נְחַת עַמִי בְקַדְמֵיתָא לְאִתּוֹתָבָא תַמָן וְאַתּוּרָאָה בִּלְמָא אַנְסֵיהּ:

   For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

5. 5

   וּכְעַן עֲתִידְנָא לְמִפְרַק אֲמַר יְיָ אֲרֵי אִזְדַבַּן עַמִי מַגָן עַמְמַיָא דִשְׁלִיטוּ בְהוֹן מִשְׁתַּבְּחִין אֲמַר יְיָ וּתְדִירָא כָּל יוֹמָא עַל פּוּלְחָן שְׁמִי מַרְגְזִין:

   Therefore now I am ready to redeem them, saith the Lord; for my people was sold for nought; the nations that ruled over them boasted, saith the Lord; and they continually, all the day, provoke them to anger, because of the worship of my name.

6. 6

   בְּכֵן יִתְרַבָּא בְעַמְמַיָא שְׁמִי בְּכֵן בְּעִידָנָא הַהִיא תֵּידְעוּן אֲרֵי אֲנָא הוּא דְמַלְלֵית וּמֵימְרִי קַיָם:

   Therefore my name shall be magnified among the nations: therefore at that time ye shall know, that I am He that hath spoken: and my WORD shall abide.

7. 7

   מַה יָאֲוָן עַל טוּרֵי אַרְעָא דְיִשְׂרָאֵל רִגְלֵי מְבַסֵר מַשְׁמַע שְׁלָם מְבַסֵר טַב מַשְׁמַע פּוּרְקָן אֲמַר לִכְנִשְׁתָּא דְצִיוֹן אִיתְגְלִיאַת מַלְכוּתָא דֶאֱלָהָיִךְ:

   How beautiful upon the mountains of the land of Israel are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that publisheth salvation, saying to the congregation of Zion, The kingdom of thy God is revealed.

8. 8

   קַל פַּרְנָסַיִךְ דִמְרִימִין קָלְהוֹן כַּחֲדָא מְשַׁבְּחִין אֲרֵי בְעֵינֵיהוֹן יֶחֱזוּן גְבוּרָן דִי עֲבַד יְיָ כַּד יְתִיב שְׁכִנְתֵּהּ לְצִיוֹן:

   The voice of thy rulers! They are lifting up their voice, together they offer praise; because with their eyes they see the mighty works which the Lord shall do, when He shall return His Shekinah to Zion.

9. 9

   בּוּעוּ וְשַׁבַּחוּ כַּחֲדָא חָרְבַת יְרוּשְׁלֵם אֲרֵי עֲתִיד יְיָ לְנַחְמָא עַמֵהּ פָּרִיק יְרוּשְׁלֶם:

   Rejoice and shout together, ye desolate places of Jerusalem, for the Lord shall comfort His people, Jerusalem shall be redeemed.

10. 10

    גַלֵא יְיָ יַת דְרַע קוּדְשֵׁהּ לְעֵינֵי כָּל עַמְמַיָא וְיֶחֱזוּן כָּל דְבִסְיָפֵי אַרְעָא יַת פּוּרְקָנָא דֶאֱלָהָנָא:

    The Lord hath revealed His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all that are in the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

11. 11

    אִתְפְּרַשׁוּ אִתְפְּרַשׁוּ פּוּקוּ מִתַּמָן בִּמְסָאָב לָא תִקְרְבוּן פּוּקוּ מִגַוָהּ אִתְבְּחָרוּ נַטְלֵי מָנֵי בֵית מַקְדְשָׁא דַיָי:

    Separate yourselves, separate yourselves, go ye out from thence, do not come near the unclean; come forth from the midst of her: those that carry the vessels of the house of the sanctuary of the Lord have been chosen.

12. 12

    אֲרֵי לָא בִּבְהִילוּ תִּפְּקוּן מִבֵּינֵי עַמְמַיָא וּבְעֵירוֹקֵי לָא תִתּוֹבְלוּן לְאַרְעֲכוֹן אֲרֵי מְדַבֵּר קֳדָמֵיכוֹן יְיָ וַעֲתִיד לְכַנָשָׁא גַלְוַתְכוֹן אֱלָהָא דְיִשְׂרָאֵל:

    For ye shall not go forth in haste from among the nations, nor be carried in flight to your land: for your guide is the Lord, and He that shall gather your captivity is the God of Israel.

13. 13

    הָא יַצְלַח עַבְדִי מְשִׁיחָא יְרוּם וְיִסְגֵי וְיִתְקוֹף לַחֲדָא:

    Behold, my servant the messiah shall prosper, he shall be exalted and extolled, and he shall be very strong.

14. 14

    כְּמָא דִסְבַרוּ לֵיהּ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל יוֹמִין סַגִיאִין דַהֲוָה חֲשִׁיךְ בֵּינֵי עַמְמַיָא חֶזְוֵהוֹן וְזִיוְהוֹן מִבְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא:

    As the house of Israel anxiously hoped for him many days, (which was poor among the nations; their appearance and their brightness being worse than that of the sons of men)

15. 15

    כֵּן יְבַדַר עַמְמִין סַגִיאִין עֲלוֹהִי יִשְׁתְּקוּן מַלְכִין יְשַׁווּן יְדֵיהוֹן עַל פּוּמְהוֹן אֲרֵי דְלָא אִשְׁתָּעִיאוּ לְהוֹן חֲזוֹ וּדְלָא שְׁמָעוּ אִסְתַּכֵּלוּ:

    Thus shall he scatter many nations; before him kings shall keep silence: they shall put their hands upon their mouths, for that which had not been told them shall they see: and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
