¹Kuulge mind, õigluse nõudjad, Issanda otsijad! Vaadake kaljut, mille küljest te olete raiutud, ja kaevuauku, kust olete välja kaevatud.

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.

²Vaadake Aabrahami, oma isa, ja Saarat, kes teid sünnitas. Kui ta alles üksi oli, kutsusin ma tema ja ma õnnistasin teda ning tegin ta paljuks.

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.

³Sest Issand trööstib Siionit, trööstib kõiki selle varemeid; ta teeb selle kõrbe otsekui Eedeniks ja lagendikud Issanda rohuaia sarnaseks. Seal on lusti ja rõõmu, tänulaulu ja pillihäält.

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.

⁴Pane mind tähele, mu rahvas, mu hõimud, kuulake mind! Sest minult lähtub Seadus ja mu õigus rahvaile valguseks.

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.

⁵Äkitselt ligineb mu õiglus, ilmub mu pääste ja mu käsivarred mõistavad rahvaile kohut: mind ootavad saared ja loodavad mu käsivarre peale.

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.

⁶Tõstke oma silmad taeva poole ja vaadake alla maa peale; sest taevad haihtuvad kui suits ja maa kulub nagu kuub, selle elanikud surevad otsekui sääsed. Aga minu pääste jääb igavesti ja minu õiglus ei lõpe.

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.

⁷Kuulge mind, õigusetundjad, rahvas, kelle südames on mu Seadus! Ärge kartke inimeste laimu ja ärge ehmuge nende sõimust!

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.

⁸Sest neid sööb riidekoi nagu riiet, neid sööb villakoi nagu villa. Aga minu õiglus jääb igavesti ja mu pääste põlvest põlve.

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.

⁹Ärka, ärka, ehi ennast jõuga, Issanda käsivars! Ärka nagu muistseil päevil, endiste põlvede ajal! Eks olnud sina see, kes purustas Rahabi, kes torkas läbi merelohe?

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?

¹⁰Eks olnud sina see, kes kuivatas mere, suure sügavuse veed, kes tegi teeks meresügavikud, lunastatuile läbitavaks?

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?

¹¹Ja Issanda lunastatud pöörduvad tagasi ning tulevad Siionisse hõisates. Nende pea kohal on igavene rõõm, rõõm ja ilutsemine valdavad neid, aga kurbus ja ohkamine põgenevad ära.

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.

¹²Mina, mina olen see, kes teid trööstib! Kes oled sina, et sa kardad surelikke inimesi, inimlapsi, kes on nagu rohi,

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;

¹³ja unustad Issanda, kes sind on teinud, kes on laotanud taeva ja rajanud maa, ja värised alati, iga päev, rõhuja viha ees, kui ta valmistub hävitama? Aga kus on nüüd rõhuja viha?

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?

¹⁴Varsti vabastatakse aheldatu: ta ei sure vangiauku, tema leib ei lõpe.

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

¹⁵Sest mina olen Issand, su Jumal, kes liigutab merd ja paneb lained kohisema, kelle nimi on vägede Issand.

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

¹⁶Ja ma panin oma sõnad sulle suhu, ma peitsin sind oma käe varju alla, et võlvida taevas ja rajada maa, ja et öelda Siionile: 'Sina oled mu rahvas.'

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.

¹⁷Ärka, ärka, tõuse üles, Jeruusalemm, kes oled joonud Issanda käest tema viha karika, oled joonud tilgatuks uimastuse peekri!

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:

¹⁸Ei olnud tal talutajat ühestki oma sünnitatud lapsest, ega haaranud tal käest kinni mitte ükski tema kasvatatud laps.

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.

¹⁹Need kaks paari said sulle osaks - kes tunneb sulle kaasa? - rüüstamine ja hävitus, nälg ja mõõk - kes olen mina, et sind trööstiksin?

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

²⁰Igal tänavanurgal lamasid su lapsed oimetult, otsekui metskitsed püügivõrgus, löödud Issanda vihast, su Jumala sõitlusest.

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.

²¹Seepärast kuule ometi seda, sa vilets, kes oled joobnud, aga mitte veinist:

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

²²nõnda ütleb su Issand, Issand, su Jumal, kes riidleb oma rahva eest: Vaata, ma võtan su käest uimastuse karika, oma viha peekri - seda ei ole sul enam vaja juua.

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:

²³Ja ma annan selle kätte su piinajaile, kes ütlesid sulle: 'Kummarda, et saaksime sinust üle käia!' Sa andsidki oma selja maaks ja käijatele tänavaks.

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.
