Retranslation:  I am aware of the maltreatment of my people which are besieged and confined, and I hear their silent prayer regarding the obstacles all around them; and My foundation descends to release them from their confinement.  At this time, Come here!  I  have set you apart: You are mine! Consecrated to Me! I will send you on a mission to the land of Confinement.
