¹Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

¹Evo Sluge mojega koga podupirem, mog izabranika, miljenika duše moje. Na njega sam svoga duha izlio da donosi pravo narodima.

²He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

²On ne viče, on ne diže glasa, niti se čuti može po ulicama.

³A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

³On ne lomi napuknutu trsku niti gasi stijenj što tinja. Vjerno on donosi pravdu,

⁴He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

⁴ne sustaje i ne malakše dok na zemlji ne uspostavi pravo. Otoci žude za njegovim naukom.

⁵Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

⁵Ovako govori Jahve, Bog, koji stvori i razastrije nebesa, koji rasprostrije zemlju i njeno raslinje, koji dade dah narodima na njoj i dah bićima što njome hode.

⁶I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

⁶Ja, Jahve, u pravdi te pozvah, čvrsto te za ruku uzeh; oblikovah te i postavih te za Savez narodu i svjetlost pucima,

⁷To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

⁷da otvoriš oči slijepima, da izvedeš sužnje iz zatvora, iz tamnice one što žive u tami.

⁸I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

⁸Ja, Jahve mi je ime, svoje slave drugom ne dam, niti časti svoje kipovima.

⁹Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

⁹Što prije prorekoh, evo, zbi se, i nove događaje ja naviještam, i prije negoli se pokažu, vama ih objavljujem.

¹⁰Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

¹⁰Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu novu, i s kraja zemlje hvalu njegovu, neka ga slavi more sa svim što je u njem, otoci i njihovi žitelji!

¹¹Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

¹¹Nek' digne glas pustinja i njeni gradovi, nek' odjeknu naselja gdje žive Kedarci! Nek' podvikuju stanovnici Stijene, neka kliču s gorskih vrhova!

¹²Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

¹²Nek' daju čast Jahvi i hvalu mu naviještaju po otocima!

¹³The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

¹³Kao junak izlazi Jahve, kao ratnik žar svoj podjaruje. Uz bojni poklik i viku ratnu ide junački na svog neprijatelja.

¹⁴I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

¹⁴"Šutjeh dugo, gluh se činjah, svladavah se; sad vičem kao žena kada rađa, dašćem i uzdišem.

¹⁵I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

¹⁵Isušit ću brda i bregove, sparušiti svu zelen po njima, rijeke ću u stepe pretvoriti i močvare isušiti.

¹⁶And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

¹⁶Vodit ću slijepce po cestama, uputit' ih putovima. Pred njima ću tamu u svjetlost obratit', a neravno tlo u ravno. To ću učiniti i neću propustiti.

¹⁷They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

¹⁷Uzmaknut će u golemu stidu koji se uzdaju u kipove, koji ljevenim likovima govore: 'Vi ste naši bogovi.'"

¹⁸Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

¹⁸Čujte, gluhi! Progledajte, slijepi, da vidite!

¹⁹Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?

¹⁹Tko je slijep ako ne moj sluga, tko je gluh kao glasnik koga šaljem? Tko je slijep kao prijatelj, tko je gluh kao sluga Jahvin?

²⁰Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.

²⁰Mnogo si vidio, ali nisi mario, uši ti bjehu otvorene, ali nisi čuo!

²¹The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

²¹Jahvi se svidjelo zbog njegove pravednosti da uzveliča i proslavi Zakon svoj.

²²But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

²²A narod je ovaj opljačkan i oplijenjen, mladići mu stavljeni u klade, vrgnuti u zatvore. Plijene ih, a nikoga da ih izbavi; robe ih, a nitko da kaže: "Vrati!"

²³Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?

²³Tko od vas mari za to? Tko pazi i sluša unapredak?

²⁴Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

²⁴Tko je pljačkašu izručio Jakova i otimačima Izraela? Nije li Jahve, protiv koga smo griješili, čijim putima ne htjedosmo hoditi, čiji Zakon nismo slušali?

²⁵Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.

²⁵Zato izli na Izraela žarki gnjev svoj i strahote ratne: plamen ga okruži odasvud, al' on ni to nije shvatio; sažeže ga, al' on ni to k srcu ne uze.
