¹Počujte toto, dome Jakobov, ktorí sa nazývate menom Izraelovým a pošli ste z vôd Júdových, ktorí prisaháte na meno Hospodinovo a pripomínate Boha Izraelovho, ale nie v pravde ani nie v spravedlivosti!

¹Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the name of Jehovah, And of the God of Israel make mention, Not in truth nor in righteousness.

²Lebo sa nazývajú od svätého mesta a spoliehajú sa na Boha Izraelovho, ktorého meno je Hospodin Zástupov.

²For from the Holy City they have been called, And on the God of Israel been supported, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.

³Oznámil som drievne veci od dávna, a keď vyšli z mojich úst, ohlasoval som ich; náhle som ich činieval, a dostanovily sa.

³The former things from that time I declared, And from my mouth they have gone forth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it cometh.

⁴Pretože som vedel, že si ty urputný, a že tvoja šija železná húžva a tvoje čelo z medi,

⁴From my knowing that thou art obstinate, And a sinew of iron thy neck, And thy forehead brass,

⁵preto som ti oznamoval od dávna; prv ako sa niektoré dostanovilo, ohlásil som ti to, aby si nepovedal: Moja modla to učinila, a: Moja rytina a sliatina to rozkázala.

⁵And I declare to thee from that time, Before it cometh I have caused thee to hear, Lest thou say, `Mine idol hath done them, And my graven image, And my molten image did command them.

⁶Počul si, hľaď, všetko to, a vy, či nemusíte vyznať to isté? Už teraz ti ohlasujem nové veci a strážené tajné, ktorých si neznal.

⁶Thou hast heard, see the whole of it, And ye, do ye not declare? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that ye knew not.

⁷Teraz sú stvorené a nie od dávna, a nepočul si o nich predo dňom, aby si nepovedal: Hľa, vedel som to.

⁷Now they have been produced and not from that time, Yea, before the day, and thou hast not heard them, Lest thou say, `Lo, I have known them.`

⁸Lebo veď ani si nepočul ani si nevedel, ani sa ti to od dávna nedostalo do uší, lebo som vedel, že budeš príliš neverne robiť a že sa voláš priestupníkom od života matky.

⁸Yea, thou hast not heard, Yea, thou hast not known, Yea, from that time not opened hath thine ear, For I have known thou dealest treacherously, And `Transgressor from the belly,` One is crying to thee.

⁹Pre svoje meno zhovievam zdŕžajúc svoj hnev a pre svoju chválu ho krotím tebe na dobré, aby som ťa nevyplienil.

⁹For My name`s sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off.

¹⁰Hľa, prepálim ťa, ale nie ako striebro, preberiem ťa v peci súženia.

¹⁰Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee in a furnace of affliction.

¹¹Pre seba, pre seba to učiním, lebo jako by mohlo byť poškvrnené moje meno? A svojej slávy inému nedám.

¹¹For My sake, for Mine own sake, I do [it], For how is it polluted? And Mine honour to another I give not.

¹²Počuj ma, Jakobe, a Izraelu, môj povolaný: Ja som to; ja som prvý a ja som i posledný.

¹²Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;

¹³Veď moja ruka založila zem, a moja pravica rozpäla nebesia; len čo som zavolal na ne, hneď sa postavily všetky dovedna.

¹³Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand together.

¹⁴Shromaždite sa všetci, koľko vás je, a počujte! Kto z nich oznámil kedy tieto veci? Ten, ktorého miluje Hospodin, vykoná jeho vôľu na Babylone a jeho rameno na Chaldejoch.

¹⁴Be gathered all of you, and hear, Who among them did declare these things? Jehovah hath loved him, He doth His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.

¹⁵Ja, ja som hovoril, aj ho povolám; dovediem ho, a jeho cesta sa mu vydarí.

¹⁵I — I have spoken, yea, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he hath made prosperous his way.

¹⁶Pristúpte ku mne, počujte to: Od počiatku som nehovoril skryte; od času, v ktorom sa to dialo, tam som ja. - A teraz, Pán Hospodin ma poslal a jeho Duch.

¹⁶Come ye near unto me, hear this, Not from the beginning in secret spake I, From the time of its being, there [am] I, And now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and His Spirit.

¹⁷Takto hovorí Hospodin, tvoj vykupiteľ, Svätý Izraelov: Ja Hospodin, tvoj Bôh, ťa učím prospievať a vediem ťa cestou, ktorou máš ísť.

¹⁷Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, `I [am] Jehovah thy God, teaching thee to profit, Causing thee to tread in the way thou goest.

¹⁸Oj, aby si bol pozoroval na moje prikázania, bol by tvoj pokoj ako rieka a tvoja spravedlivosť ako vlny mora!

¹⁸O that thou hadst attended to My commands, Then as a river is thy peace, And thy righteousness as billows of the sea,

¹⁹A tvojho semena by bolo jako piesku a plodu tvojho života jako jeho zŕn; nebolo by vyťaté ani vyhladené jeho meno zpred mojej tvári!

¹⁹And as sand is thy seed, And the offspring of thy bowels as its gravel, Not cut off nor destroyed his name before Me.

²⁰Vyjdite z Babylona! Utečte od Chaldejov! Zvestujte hlasom plesania, ohlasujte to, rozneste to až na koniec sveta! Povedzte: Hospodin vykúpil svojho služobníka Jakoba!

²⁰Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, With a voice of singing declare, Cause ye this to be heard, Bring it forth unto the end of the earth, Say, Redeemed hath Jehovah His servant Jacob.

²¹A nebudú žízniť, keď ich povedie po pustinách, dá, aby im tiekly vody zo skaly a roztrhne skalu, a budú sa liať vody!

²¹And they have not thirsted in waste places, He hath caused them to go on, Waters from a rock he hath caused to flow to them, Yea, he cleaveth a rock, and flow do waters.

²²Nemajú pokoja, hovorí Hospodin, bezbožní.

²²There is no peace, said Jehovah, to the wicked!
