¹Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

¹Hoj, všetci žízniví, poďte k vodám, a vy, ktorí nemáte peňazí, poďte, kupujte zbožie a jedzte! Poďte, kupujte bez peňazí a bez platu, víno a mlieko!

²Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

²Prečo vynakladáte peniaze na to, čo nie je chlebom, a svoju prácu na to, čo nenasycuje? Nože ma poslúchnite a jedzte dobré, a nech sa kochá vaša duša v tuku!

³Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

³Nakloňte svoje ucho a poďte ku mne! Počujte, a nech žije vaša duša! A učiním s vami večnú smluvu, rôznu milosť Dávidovu, vernú.

⁴Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

⁴Hľa, dal som ho za svedka národom, za vodcu a veliteľa národom.

⁵Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

⁵Hľa, národ, ktorého neznáš, povoláš, a národy, ktoré ťa neznaly, pobežia k tebe pre Hospodina, tvojho Boha, a pre Svätého Izraelovho, lebo ťa oslávi!

⁶Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

⁶Hľadajte Hospodina, dokiaľ ho možno najsť! Volajte na neho, dokiaľ je blízko!

⁷Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

⁷Nech opustí bezbožný svoju cestu a nešľachetný človek svoje myšlienky a nech sa navráti k Hospodinovi, a zľutuje sa nad ním, a k nášmu Bohu, lebo je hojný odpustiť.

⁸For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

⁸Lebo moje myšlienky nie sú vašimi myšlienkami ani moje cesty nie sú vašimi cestami, hovorí Hospodin.

⁹For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

⁹Lebo o koľko vyššie sú nebesia než zem, o toľko sú vyššie moje cesty než vaše cesty a moje myšlienky než vaše myšlienky.

¹⁰For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

¹⁰Lebo jako prší dážď a padá sneh s neba a viacej sa ta nenavracuje, ale napája zem a činí ju plodnou a úrodnou, takže vydáva semeno sejúcemu, a chlieb jediacemu,

¹¹So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

¹¹tak bude moje slovo, ktoré vyjde z mojich úst; nenavráti sa ku mne prázdne, ale vykoná to, čo sa mi ľúbi, a podarí sa mu to, na čo ho pošlem.

¹²For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

¹²Lebo s radosťou vyjdete a v pokoji doprevadení budete. Vrchy a brehy budú jasať pred vami, a všetky stromy poľa budú tlieskať rukami.

¹³Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

¹³Miesto chrastiny narastie jedľa, a miesto hlohu narastie myrtus, a bude to Hospodinovi na slávne meno, na večné znamenie, ktoré nebude vyhladené.
