¹Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.

¹Obrnite se molče do mene, otoki, in narodi naj si oskrbe nove moči; pridejo naj bliže in tedaj govoré; snidimo se na skupno pravdo!

²Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.

²Kdo je obudil od vzhoda tistega, ki ga pravičnost srečava pri vsakem koraku? On daje narode pred njega in spravlja kralje pod njegovo oblast; nareja jih prahu podobne z mečem njegovim in razvejani plevi enake z lokom njegovim.

³He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.

³On jih podi in gre mimo v miru po poti, ki po njej nikdar ni šel z nogami svojimi.

⁴Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

⁵The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.

⁵Otoki so to videli in so se bali, kraji zemlje so trepetali; bližali so se in se shajali.

⁶They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.

⁶Drug drugemu je pomagal in bratu svojemu govoril: Bodi srčen!

⁷So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

⁷In podobar je osrčeval zlatarja in on, ki gladi s kladivom, njega, ki bije na nakovalo, govoreč o spajanju: Dobro je! in je malika pritrjal z žeblji, da se ne gane.

⁸But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

⁸Ti pa, Izrael, hlapec moj, Jakob, ki sem te izvolil, seme Abrahama, prijatelja mojega;

⁹Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

⁹ti, ki sem te zgrabil od koncev zemlje in te poklical od skrajnih kotov njenih in ti rekel: Hlapec si moj, izvolil sem te in te nisem zavrgel:

¹⁰Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

¹⁰Ne boj se, ker jaz sem s teboj, ne oziraj se plaho, ker jaz sem Bog tvoj; krepčam te, res, pomagam ti, res, podpiram te z desnico pravičnosti svoje.

¹¹Glej, osramočeni bodo in z nečastjo obliti vsi, ki se hudujejo nad teboj; kakor nič bodo in poginejo nasprotniki tvoji.

¹²Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

¹²Ko jih boš iskal, jih ne najdeš, tistih, ki so se prepirali s tabo; kakor nič in ničevost bodo možje, ki se bore zoper tebe.

¹³For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

¹³Zakaj jaz, GOSPOD, Bog tvoj, primem desnico tvojo, veleč ti: Ne boj se, jaz ti pomagam!

¹⁴Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁴Ne boj se, črviček Jakobov, krdelce Izraelovo; jaz ti pomagam, govori GOSPOD, in odkupitelj tvoj je Svetnik Izraelov.

¹⁵Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

¹⁵Glej, naredim te za novo mlatilnico z ostrimi dvoreznimi zobmi: mlatil boš in drobil gore in hribe boš storil v pleve.

¹⁶Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁶Vejal jih boš, in veter jih odnese in vrtinec jih razkropi; ti pa se boš radoval v GOSPODU, v Svetniku Izraelovem se boš ponašal.

¹⁷When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

¹⁷Ubožce in siromake, ki iščejo vode, pa je ni, ki jim jezik suši od žeje, jaz, GOSPOD, jih uslišim, jaz, Bog Izraelov, jih ne zapustim.

¹⁸I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

¹⁸Na golih višavah odprem reke in sredi dolin studence, v jezero vodá izpremenim puščavo in žejno zemljo v vrelce vode.

¹⁹I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:

¹⁹Cedro zasadim v puščavi, akacijo, mirto in oljkovo drevje, v pustinji hkratu postavim ciprese, platane in zelenike;

²⁰da bi videli in spoznali in v srce si vtisnili in razumeli vsi vkup, da je to storila roka GOSPODOVA in da je Svetnik Izraelov to ustvaril.

²¹Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.

²¹Pridite sem s pravdo svojo, pravi GOSPOD; prinesite trdne dokaze svoje, veli Kralj Jakobov.

²²Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.

²²Predlože naj nam in naznanijo, kar se bo zgodilo; kaj so prejšnje stvari, razložite, da to razmislimo v srcu in spoznamo njih konec; ali kaj je prihodnjega, povejte nam!

²³Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

²³Naznanite, kar pride pozneje; spoznamo naj, da ste bogovi! Storite vsaj kaj dobrega ali slabega kaj, da se ozremo drug na drugega in si skupaj ogledamo tisto.

²⁴Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.

²⁴Glejte, vi ste manj nego nič in delo vaše je ničevost; gnusoben je, kdor vas voli.

²⁵I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.

²⁵Obudil sem ga od severa in je prišel – od solnčnega vzhoda njega, ki kliče ime moje. In pride in pogazi vladarje kakor blato in kakor lončar gnete ilovico.

²⁶Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.

²⁶Kdo je to naznanil od početka, da bi vedeli? in od starodavnosti, da rečemo: Prav pravi! A ni ga bilo, da bi bil naznanil, ni ga bilo, ki bi bil napovedal, ni ga bilo, ki bi bil slišal besede vaše.

²⁷The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

²⁷Prvi jaz sem rekel Sionu: Glej, glej, tu je! In Jeruzalemu dam blagovestnika!

²⁸For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.

²⁸In ozrl sem se, in ni bilo nikogar, in med temi ni bilo svetovalca, da bi bil odgovoril besedo, ko sem jih vprašal.Glej, vsi ti skup so ničemurnost, nič niso njih dela; veter in pusta blodnja so njih ulite podobe.

²⁹Glej, vsi ti skup so ničemurnost, nič niso njih dela; veter in pusta blodnja so njih ulite podobe.
