¹Čujte me, vi koji za pravdom težite, koji Jahvu tražite; pogledajte stijenu iz koje ste isječeni i jamu duboku iz koje ste izvađeni.

¹Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock [whence] ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit [whence] ye were digged.

²Pogledajte oca svoga Abrahama i Saru koja vas porodi! Jest, sam bijaše kad sam ga pozvao, al' sam ga blagoslovio i umnožio."

²Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bore you; for I called him when he was alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.

³Jest, Jahvi se sažalio Sion, sažalile mu se njegove razvaline. Pustaru će njegovu učiniti poput Edena, a stepu poput Vrta Jahvina. Klicanje i radost njim će odjekivat', i zahvalnice i glas hvalospjeva.

³For Jehovah shall comfort Zion, he shall comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah: gladness and joy shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of song.

⁴"Pomno me slušaj, puče moj, počujte me, narodi! Jer od mene Zakon dolazi i moje pravo za svjetlo narodima.

⁴Listen unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will establish my judgment for a light of the peoples.

⁵Brzo će stići pravda moja, moje će spasenje doći kao svjetlost. Moja će mišica suditi narodima. Mene očekuju otoci i u moju se mišicu uzdaju.

⁵My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples: the isles shall wait for me, and in mine arm shall they trust.

⁶K nebu oči podignite, na zemlju dolje pogledajte. K'o dim će se rasplinut' nebesa, zemlja će se k'o haljina istrošit', kao komarci nestat će joj žitelji. Ali će spasenje moje trajati dovijeka, i pravdi mojoj neće biti kraja.

⁶Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner; but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

⁷Poslušajte me, vi koji poznajete pravo, narode kojima je moj Zakon u srcu. Ne bojte se poruge ljudske, ne plašite se uvreda!

⁷Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear not the reproach of men, and be not afraid of their revilings.

⁸Jer moljac će ih razjesti kao haljinu, crv će ih rastočiti kao vunu. Ali će pravda moja trajati dovijeka i spas moj od koljena do koljena."

⁸For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

⁹Probudi se! Probudi se! Opaši se snagom, mišice Jahvina! Probudi se, kao u dane davne, za drevnih naraštaja. Nisi li ti rasjekla Rahaba i probola Zmaja?

⁹Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, [as in] the generations of passed ages. Is it not thou that hath hewn Rahab in pieces, [and] pierced the monster?

¹⁰Nisi li ti isušila more, vodu velikog bezdana, i od dubine morske put načinila da njime prolaze otkupljeni?

¹⁰Is it not thou that dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

¹¹Vratit će se oni što ih je oslobodio Jahve i s radosnim kricima doći će na Sion. Vječna će sreća biti nad glavama, pratit će ih klicanje i radost, nestat će tuge i jecaja.

¹¹So the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come to Zion with singing; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

¹²Ja, ja sam tješitelj vaš. Tko si ti da se bojiš smrtna čovjeka i sina čovječjeg, koji je kao trava?

¹²I, [even] I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou fearest a man that shall die, and the son of man that shall become as grass;

¹³Zaboravio si Jahvu, svoga Stvoritelja, koji razastrije nebesa i koji zemlju utemelji; sveudilj strepiš, svaki dan, od tlačiteljeve jarosti. Kao da je pregnuo da te uništi. Ali gdje je sad jarost tlačiteljeva?

¹³and forgettest Jehovah thy Maker, who hath stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and thou art afraid continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepareth to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?

¹⁴Doskora će biti slobodan sužanj, neće umrijeti u jami, niti će mu kruha nedostajati.

¹⁴He that is bowed down shall speedily be loosed, and he shall not die in the pit, nor shall his bread fail.

¹⁵Jer, ja sam Jahve, Bog tvoj, koji burkam more da mu valovi buče, ime mi je Jahve nad Vojskama.

¹⁵And I am Jehovah thy God, who raiseth the sea, so that its waves roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

¹⁶Svoje sam ti riječi stavio u usta, u sjenu svoje ruke sakrio sam te kad sam razastro nebesa, utemeljio zemlju i rekao Sionu: "Ti si narod moj!"

¹⁶And I have put my words in thy mouth, and covered thee with the shadow of my hand, to plant the heavens, and to lay the foundations of the earth, and to say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

¹⁷Probudi se, probudi se, ustani, Jeruzaleme! Ti koji si pio iz ruke Jahvine čašu gnjeva njegova. Ispio si pehar opojni, do dna ga iskapio.

¹⁷Arouse thyself, arouse thyself, stand up, Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his fury. Thou hast drunk, hast drained out the goblet-cup of bewilderment:

¹⁸Od svih sinova koje je rodio ne bješe nikog da ga vodi; od svih sinova koje je podigao ne bješe nikog da ga pridrži.

¹⁸-- there is none to guide her among all the children that she hath brought forth; neither is there any to take her by the hand of all the children that she hath brought up.

¹⁹Ovo te dvoje pogodilo - tko da te požali? - pohara i rasap, glad i mač - tko da te utješi?

¹⁹These two [things] are come unto thee; who will bemoan thee? -- desolation and destruction, and famine and sword: how shall I comfort thee?

²⁰Sinovi ti leže obamrli po uglovima svih ulica, kao antilopa u mreži, puni gnjeva Jahvina, prijetnje Boga tvojega.

²⁰Thy children have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an oryx in a net: they are full of the fury of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.

²¹Zato čuj ovo, bijedniče, pijan, ali ne od vina.

²¹Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:

²²Ovako govori Jahve, Gospod tvoj, tvoj Bog, branitelj tvoga naroda: "Iz ruke ti, evo, uzimam čašu opojnu, pehar gnjeva svojega: nećeš ga više piti.

²²thus saith thy Lord, Jehovah, and thy God, who pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I take out of thy hand the cup of bewilderment, the goblet-cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

²³Stavit ću je u ruke tvojim tlačiteljima, onima koji su ti govorili: 'Prigni se da prijeđemo!' I ti si im leđa kao tlo podmetao, kao put za prolaznike.

²³and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street to them that went over.
