1Kuulge mind, õigluse nõudjad, Issanda otsijad! Vaadake kaljut, mille küljest te olete raiutud, ja kaevuauku, kust olete välja kaevatud.
1“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look to the rock you were cut from, and to the hold of the pit you were dug from.
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 to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
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 Yahweh has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4Pane mind tähele, mu rahvas, mu hõimud, kuulake mind! Sest minult lähtub Seadus ja mu õigus rahvaile valguseks.
4“Attend to me, my people; and give ear to me, my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice 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 my arms shall judge the peoples; the islands shall wait for me, and on my 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 wax old like a garment; and those who dwell therein shall die in the same way: but my salvation shall be forever, 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!
7“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; don’t fear the reproach of men, neither be dismayed at their insults.
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 forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
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, arm of Yahweh; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
10Eks olnud sina see, kes kuivatas mere, suure sügavuse veed, kes tegi teeks meresügavikud, lunastatuile läbitavaks?
10Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who 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.
11The ransomed of Yahweh shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on 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,
12“I, even I, am he who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made 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 have forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
14Varsti vabastatakse aheldatu: ta ei sure vangiauku, tema leib ei lõpe.
14The captive exile shall speedily be freed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
15Sest mina olen Issand, su Jumal, kes liigutab merd ja paneb lained kohisema, kelle nimi on vägede Issand.
15For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar: Yahweh of Armies 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.'
16I have put my words in your mouth, and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
17Ärka, ärka, tõuse üles, Jeruusalemm, kes oled joonud Issanda käest tema viha karika, oled joonud tilgatuks uimastuse peekri!
17Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of Yahweh the cup of his wrath; you have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
18Ei olnud tal talutajat ühestki oma sünnitatud lapsest, ega haaranud tal käest kinni mitte ükski tema kasvatatud laps.
18There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons who she has 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 have happened to you. Who will bemoan you? Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort you?
20Igal tänavanurgal lamasid su lapsed oimetult, otsekui metskitsed püügivõrgus, löödud Issanda vihast, su Jumala sõitlusest.
20Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Yahweh, the rebuke of your God.
21Seepärast kuule ometi seda, sa vilets, kes oled joobnud, aga mitte veinist:
21Therefore hear now this, you 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 says your Lord Yahweh, and your God who pleads the cause of his people, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; you shall 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 those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, and as the street, to those who walk over.”
