¹Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples, from far: Jehovah hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name:

¹Kuulge mind, saared, ja pange tähele, kauged rahvad! Issand on mind kutsunud emaihust, alates mu emaüsast on ta nimetanud mu nime.

²and he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me: and he hath made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he kept me close:

²Ta tegi mu suu vaheda mõõga sarnaseks, peitis mind oma käe varju alla; ta tegi mind teravaks nooleks, talletas mind oma nooletupes.

³and he said unto me, Thou art my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

³Ja ta ütles mulle: Sina, Iisrael, oled mu sulane, kelle läbi ma ilmutan oma au.

⁴But I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and vanity; yet surely the justice [due] to me is with Jehovah, and my recompense with my God.

⁴Aga mina ütlesin: Ma olen asjata vaeva näinud, kulutanud oma jõudu kasuta ja tühja. Ometi on mu õigus Issanda käes ja mu töötasu on mu Jumala juures.

⁵And now saith Jehovah that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered unto him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God is become my strength);

⁵Ja nüüd ütleb Issand, kes mind emaihust alates on valmistanud enesele sulaseks, et tuua Jaakob tagasi tema juurde ja koguda Iisrael tema juurde - sest ma olen Issanda silmis austatud ja mu Jumal on mu tugevus -,

⁶yea, he saith, It is too light a thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

⁶ta ütleb: Sellest on vähe, et sa mu sulasena taastad Jaakobi suguharud ja tood tagasi Iisraeli jäägi: ma panen sind paganaile valguseks, et mu pääste ulatuks ilmamaa ääreni.

⁷Thus saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Jehovah that is faithful, [even] the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.

⁷Nõnda ütleb Issand, Iisraeli lunastaja, tema Püha, täiesti põlatule, rahvaste poolt jälestatule, valitsejate sulasele: Kuningad näevad seda ja tõusevad püsti, ja vürstid kummardavad Issanda pärast, kes on ustav, Iisraeli Püha pärast, kes sind on valinud.

⁸Thus saith Jehovah, In an acceptable time have I answered thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages:

⁸Nõnda ütleb Issand: Ma olen sind kuulnud hea meele ajal ja aidanud päästepäeval; ma olen sind hoidnud ja pannud rahvale seaduseks, taastama maad, jagama laastatud pärisosi,

⁹saying to them that are bound, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.

⁹ütlema vangistatuile: 'Minge välja!', pimeduses olijaile: 'Tulge valguse kätte!' Nad saavad teede ääres karja hoida ja neil on karjamaa kõigil küngastel.

¹⁰They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water will he guide them.

¹⁰Ei ole neil nälga ega janu, neid ei pista palavus ega päike, sest nende peale halastaja juhib neid ja talutab nad veeallikate juurde.

¹¹And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

¹¹Ma teen kõik oma mäed teeks ja mu maanteed on kõrged.

¹²Lo, these shall come from far; and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

¹²Vaata, nad tulevad kaugelt. Ennäe, ühed põhja ja lääne poolt, teised Siinimimaalt.

¹³Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for Jehovah hath comforted his people, and will have compassion upon his afflicted.

¹³Hõisake, taevad, ja ilutse, maa, mäed, rõkatage rõõmust, sest Issand trööstib oma rahvast ja halastab oma viletsate peale!

¹⁴But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.

¹⁴Aga Siion ütleb: 'Issand on mu maha jätnud, Jumal on mu unustanud.'

¹⁵Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.

¹⁵Kas naine unustab oma lapsukese ega halasta oma ihuvilja peale? Ja kui nad ka unustaksid, ei unusta mina sind mitte.

¹⁶Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

¹⁶Vaata, ma olen sind märkinud oma peopesadesse, su müürid on alati mu silme ees.

¹⁷Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth from thee.

¹⁷Su ehitajad tulevad tõtates; kes sind lammutasid ja laastasid, need lähevad ära su kallalt.

¹⁸Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith Jehovah, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride.

¹⁸Tõsta oma silmad üles ja vaata ringi: nad kõik kogunevad, tulevad su juurde. Nii tõesti kui ma elan, ütleb Issand, ehid sa ennast nende kõigiga nagu ehtega ja seod selle endale vööle nagu mõrsja.

¹⁹For, as for thy waste and thy desolate places, and thy land that hath been destroyed, surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

¹⁹Jah, su laastatud ja paljaks tehtud paigad ning su hävitatud maa - tõesti jääd sa nüüd elanikele kitsaks, ja kaugele põgenevad su laastajad.

²⁰The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too strait for me; give place to me that I may dwell.

²⁰Veel sinu kuuldes saavad öelda su lastetuseaja lapsed: 'Paik on mulle kitsas, tee ruumi, et ma saaksin elada!'

²¹Then shalt thou say in thy heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?

²¹Siis sa mõtled oma südames: Kes on need mulle sünnitanud? Ma olin lasteta ja viljatu, vangi viidud ja ära aetud. Kes on need kasvatanud? Vaata, ma olin üksi järele jäänud. Kus olid siis need?

²²Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples; and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

²²Nõnda ütleb Issand Jumal: Vaata, ma tõstan oma käe paganate poole ja püstitan oma lipu rahvaste suunas: siis nad toovad su poegi süles ja kannavad su tütreid õlgadel.

²³And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah; and they that wait for me shall not be put to shame.

²³Ja sul on lastehoidjaiks kuningad, ammedeks nende emandad; nad kummardavad silmili maha su ette ja lakuvad su jalgadelt põrmu. Siis sa tead, et mina olen Issand, ei jää häbisse need, kes mind ootavad.

²⁴Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?

²⁴Kas sangari käest saab võtta tema saagi või kiskuda vägeva käest tema vange?

²⁵But thus saith Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

²⁵Tõesti, nõnda ütleb Issand: Küllap võetakse sangari vangid ja pääseb vägeva saak: mina riidlen sellega, kes riidleb sinuga, ja mina päästan su lapsed.

²⁶And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

²⁶Ma söödan su rõhujaid nende eneste lihaga ja nad joobuvad omaenese verest otsekui värskest veinist. Siis saab teada kõik liha, et mina, Issand, olen su päästja, Jaakobi Vägev on su lunastaja.
