1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
1Duh Gospoda Jehove je nad mano, zato ker me je GOSPOD pomazilil, da naj oznanjam blagovestje krotkim; poslal me je obvezovat potrte v srcu, oznanjat svobodo jetnikom in zaprtim, da se jim odpira ječa;
2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
2da oklicujem milostno leto GOSPODOVO in dan maščevanja Boga našega, da tolažim vse žalujoče,
3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
3da poskrbim za žalujoče na Sionu in jim dam diko namesto pepela, olje veselja namesto žalosti, hvalni plašč namesto duha obupnega; da bi se imenovali hrasti pravičnosti, sadež GOSPODOV, njemu v poveličanje.
4And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
4In pozidajo stare razvaline in postavijo, kar je bilo v nekdanjih časih porušeno, ter obnove zapuščena mesta, pustišča mnogih rodov.
5And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
5In tujci bodo stali in pasli črede vaše in inozemci bodo oratarji in vinogradniki vaši.
6But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
6Vi pa se boste imenovali duhovniki GOSPODOVI, strežaje Boga našega vas bodo zvali. Uživali boste bogastvo narodov in ž njih slavo se ponašali.
7For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
7Za svojo sramoto dobite dvojno; in namesto nečasti se bodo veselili svojega deleža; kajti dobodo v svoji deželi dvojno posest in veselje bodo imeli večno.
8For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
8Zakaj jaz, GOSPOD, ljubim pravico, sovražim zlobno plenjenje; in dam jim njih povračilo v resnici in večno zavezo sklenem ž njimi.
9And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
9In znano bode med poganskimi narodi njih seme in njih rojenci med ljudstvi: vsi, ki jih bodo videli, pripoznajo, da so seme, ki ga je blagoslovil GOSPOD.
10I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
10Veselil se bom, veselil v GOSPODU, raduje se naj duša moja v Bogu svojem! Kajti odel me je z obleko zveličanja, s plaščem pravičnosti me ogrnil, kakor se ženin po duhovniško pokriva z vencem in kakor se nevesta diči z dragotinami svojimi.Kakor namreč zemlja rodi svoje rastline in kakor vrt poganja setev svojo, tako stori Gospod Jehova, da bo rasla pravičnost in hvala pred vsemi narodi.
11For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
11Kakor namreč zemlja rodi svoje rastline in kakor vrt poganja setev svojo, tako stori Gospod Jehova, da bo rasla pravičnost in hvala pred vsemi narodi.
