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.
1Hej, vsi, katerikoli ste žejni, pridite k vodam, in kateri nimate denarja, pridite, kupite in jejte! Pridite, pravim, kupite brez denarja in brez plačila vina in mleka!
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.
2Čemu trošite denar za to, kar ni kruh, in trud svoj za to, kar ne more nasititi? Poslušajte vendar mene in jejte, kar je dobro, in tolstino veselo uživaj duša vaša!
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.
3Nagnite uho in pridite k meni, poslušajte, in duša vaša bo živela! In sklenem z vami zavezo večno: milosti Davidove, stanovitne.
4Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
4Glej, za pričo narodom sem ga postavil, za vojvodo in zapovednika narodom.
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.
5Glej, rod, ki ga nisi spoznal, pokličeš, in rodovi, ki te niso spoznali, priteko k tebi, zaradi GOSPODA, Boga tvojega, in zavoljo Svetnika Izraelovega, ker te je oslavil.
6Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
6Iščite GOSPODA, dokler ga morete najti, kličite ga, dokler je blizu!
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.
7Zapusti naj brezbožnik pot svoj in mož krivični misli svoje in povrni se h GOSPODU, in usmilil se ga bo, in k Bogu našemu, ker je bogat v odpuščanju.
8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
8Kajti misli moje niso vaše misli, tudi vaša pota niso moja pota, pravi GOSPOD.
9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
9Marveč kakor so nebesa višja od zemlje, tako so pota moja višja nego vaša pota in misli moje nego vaše misli.
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:
10Kajti kakor pada dež ali sneg z neba in se ne vrača tja, temuč napaja zemljo ter jo dela rodovitno, da iz nje raste, da daje seme sejalcu in lačnemu kruh:
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.
11tako bode beseda moja, ki prihaja iz mojih ust: ne povrne se k meni prazna, temuč izvrši, kar me veseli, in bo uspeh imela v tem, za kar jo pošljem.
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.
12Zakaj z radostjo izidete in z mirom vas bodo spremljali; gore in hribi zaženo pred vami radostno vpitje in vsa drevesa poljska bodo z rokami ploskala.Namesto grmovja zrastejo ciprese, namesto koprive vstane mirta: in bode GOSPODU v slavno ime, v znamenje večno, ki se ne iztrebi.
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.
13Namesto grmovja zrastejo ciprese, namesto koprive vstane mirta: in bode GOSPODU v slavno ime, v znamenje večno, ki se ne iztrebi.
