Isaiah 52:7-10 in Targum Jonathan to the Prophets

  

7     מָא יַאְיָן עַל טוּרֵי אַרעָא דְיִשׂרָאֵל רַגלֵי מְבַסַר מַשמַע שְלָם מְבַסַר טָב מַשמַע פוּרקָן אְמַר לִכנִשתָא דְצִיֹון אִתגְלִיאַת מַלכוּתָא דַאְלָהִיך׃

8     קָל פַרנָסַך דִמרִימִין קָלְהֹון כַחדָא מְשַבְחִין אְרֵי בְעֵינֵיהֹון יִחזֹון גְבוּרָן דְיַעְבֵיד יוי כַד יָתִיב שְכִינְתֵיה לְצִיֹון׃

9     בוּעוּ וְשַבַחוּ כַחדָא חָרבָת יְרוּשלַם אְרֵי עְתִיד יוי לְנַחָמָא עַמֵיה פְרַק יְרוּשלַם׃

10     גְלָא יוי יָת דְרָע קוּדשֵיה לְעֵינֵי כָל עַמְמַיָא וְיִחזֹון כָל דְבִסיָפֵי אַרעָא יָת פוּרקָנָא דַאְלָהַנָא׃

 

 

 

52.7 How beautiful upon the mountains of the land of Israel are the feet of him who announces, who publishes peace, who announces good tidings, who publishes salvation, who says to the congregation of Zion, “The kingdom of your God is revealed.” 52.8 The voice of your guardians, who lift up their voice, together they sing for joy; for with their eyes they will see the prodigies which the LORD will do when he will return his Shekhinah to Zion. 52.9 Shout and sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD is about to comfort his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. 52.10 The LORD has disclosed his holy arm to the eyes of all the peoples; and all those at the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God (The Isaiah Targum, [trans. Bruce D. Chilton; The Aramaic Bible 11 [Collegeville, Minn.: The Liturgical Press, 1990], Logos Bible Software edition)
