¹Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

¹Kuulge mind, õigluse nõudjad, Issanda otsijad! Vaadake kaljut, mille küljest te olete raiutud, ja kaevuauku, kust olete välja kaevatud.

²Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

²Vaadake Aabrahami, oma isa, ja Saarat, kes teid sünnitas. Kui ta alles üksi oli, kutsusin ma tema ja ma õnnistasin teda ning tegin ta paljuks.

³For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

³Sest Issand trööstib Siionit, trööstib kõiki selle varemeid; ta teeb selle kõrbe otsekui Eedeniks ja lagendikud Issanda rohuaia sarnaseks. Seal on lusti ja rõõmu, tänulaulu ja pillihäält.

⁴Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

⁴Pane mind tähele, mu rahvas, mu hõimud, kuulake mind! Sest minult lähtub Seadus ja mu õigus rahvaile valguseks.

⁵My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

⁵Äkitselt ligineb mu õiglus, ilmub mu pääste ja mu käsivarred mõistavad rahvaile kohut: mind ootavad saared ja loodavad mu käsivarre peale.

⁶Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

⁶Tõstke oma silmad taeva poole ja vaadake alla maa peale; sest taevad haihtuvad kui suits ja maa kulub nagu kuub, selle elanikud surevad otsekui sääsed. Aga minu pääste jääb igavesti ja minu õiglus ei lõpe.

⁷Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

⁷Kuulge mind, õigusetundjad, rahvas, kelle südames on mu Seadus! Ärge kartke inimeste laimu ja ärge ehmuge nende sõimust!

⁸For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

⁸Sest neid sööb riidekoi nagu riiet, neid sööb villakoi nagu villa. Aga minu õiglus jääb igavesti ja mu pääste põlvest põlve.

⁹Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?

⁹Ärka, ärka, ehi ennast jõuga, Issanda käsivars! Ärka nagu muistseil päevil, endiste põlvede ajal! Eks olnud sina see, kes purustas Rahabi, kes torkas läbi merelohe?

¹⁰Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

¹⁰Eks olnud sina see, kes kuivatas mere, suure sügavuse veed, kes tegi teeks meresügavikud, lunastatuile läbitavaks?

¹¹Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

¹¹Ja Issanda lunastatud pöörduvad tagasi ning tulevad Siionisse hõisates. Nende pea kohal on igavene rõõm, rõõm ja ilutsemine valdavad neid, aga kurbus ja ohkamine põgenevad ära.

¹²I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;

¹²Mina, mina olen see, kes teid trööstib! Kes oled sina, et sa kardad surelikke inimesi, inimlapsi, kes on nagu rohi,

¹³And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

¹³ja unustad Issanda, kes sind on teinud, kes on laotanud taeva ja rajanud maa, ja värised alati, iga päev, rõhuja viha ees, kui ta valmistub hävitama? Aga kus on nüüd rõhuja viha?

¹⁴The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

¹⁴Varsti vabastatakse aheldatu: ta ei sure vangiauku, tema leib ei lõpe.

¹⁵But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.

¹⁵Sest mina olen Issand, su Jumal, kes liigutab merd ja paneb lained kohisema, kelle nimi on vägede Issand.

¹⁶And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

¹⁶Ja ma panin oma sõnad sulle suhu, ma peitsin sind oma käe varju alla, et võlvida taevas ja rajada maa, ja et öelda Siionile: 'Sina oled mu rahvas.'

¹⁷Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.

¹⁷Ärka, ärka, tõuse üles, Jeruusalemm, kes oled joonud Issanda käest tema viha karika, oled joonud tilgatuks uimastuse peekri!

¹⁸There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.

¹⁸Ei olnud tal talutajat ühestki oma sünnitatud lapsest, ega haaranud tal käest kinni mitte ükski tema kasvatatud laps.

¹⁹These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?

¹⁹Need kaks paari said sulle osaks - kes tunneb sulle kaasa? - rüüstamine ja hävitus, nälg ja mõõk - kes olen mina, et sind trööstiksin?

²⁰Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.

²⁰Igal tänavanurgal lamasid su lapsed oimetult, otsekui metskitsed püügivõrgus, löödud Issanda vihast, su Jumala sõitlusest.

²¹Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:

²¹Seepärast kuule ometi seda, sa vilets, kes oled joobnud, aga mitte veinist:

²²Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

²²nõnda ütleb su Issand, Issand, su Jumal, kes riidleb oma rahva eest: Vaata, ma võtan su käest uimastuse karika, oma viha peekri - seda ei ole sul enam vaja juua.

²³But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

²³Ja ma annan selle kätte su piinajaile, kes ütlesid sulle: 'Kummarda, et saaksime sinust üle käia!' Sa andsidki oma selja maaks ja käijatele tänavaks.
