¹“Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God.

¹"Tješite, tješite moj narod, govori Bog vaš.

²“Speak comfortably to Jerusalem; and call out to her that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of Yahweh’s hand double for all her sins.”

²Govorite srcu Jeruzalema, vičite mu da mu se ropstvo okonča, da mu je krivnja okajana, jer iz Jahvine ruke primi dvostruko za sve grijehe svoje."

³The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God.

³Glas viče: "Pripravite Jahvi put kroz pustinju. Poravnajte u stepi stazu Bogu našemu.

⁴Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain.

⁴Nek' se povisi svaka dolina, nek' se spusti svaka gora i brežuljak. Što je neravno, nek' se poravna, strmine nek' postanu ravni.

⁵The glory of Yahweh shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.”

⁵Otkrit će se tada Slava Jahvina i svako će je tijelo vidjeti, jer Jahvina su usta govorila."

⁶The voice of one saying, “Cry!” One said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.

⁶Glas nalaže: "Viči!" Odgovorih: "Što da vičem?" - "Svako je tijelo k'o trava, k'o cvijet poljski sva mu dražest.

⁷The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh’s breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass.

⁷Sahne trava, vene cvijet, kad dah Jahvin preko njih prođe. Doista, narod je trava.

⁸The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever.”

⁸Sahne trava, vene cvijet, ali riječ Boga našeg ostaje dovijeka."

⁹You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength. Lift it up. Don’t be afraid. Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold, your God!”

⁹Na visoku se uspni goru, glasniče radosne vijesti, Sione! Podigni snažno svoj glas, glasniče radosne vijesti, Jeruzaleme! Podigni ga, ne boj se, reci judejskim gradovima: "Evo Boga vašega!"

¹⁰Behold, the Lord Yahweh will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

¹⁰Gle, Gospod Jahve dolazi u moći, mišicom svojom vlada! Evo s njim naplata njegova, a ispred njega njegova nagrada.

¹¹He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young.

¹¹Kao pastir pase stado svoje, u ruke uzima jaganjce, nosi ih u svome naručju i brižljivo njeguje dojilice.

¹²Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

¹²Tko je šakom izmjerio more i nebesa premjerio pedljem? Tko je mjericom izmjerio zemlju i planine na mjerila, a tezuljom bregove?

¹³Who has directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or has taught him as his counselor?

¹³Tko je pokrenuo duh Jahvin, koji ga je uputio savjetnik?

¹⁴Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding?

¹⁴S kim se on posvjetova, tko je njemu mudrost ulio, naučio ga putovima pravde? Tko li ga je naučio znanju, pokazao mu put k umnosti?

¹⁵Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.

¹⁵Gle, narodi su kao kap iz vjedra, vrijede kao prah na tezulji. Otoci, gle, lebde poput truna!

¹⁶Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor its animals sufficient for a burnt offering.

¹⁶Libanon je malen za lomaču, a zvijeri njegovih nema dosta za paljenicu.

¹⁷All the nations are like nothing before him. They are regarded by him as less than nothing, and vanity.

¹⁷Svi narodi k'o ništa su pred njim, ništavilo su njemu i praznina.

¹⁸To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to him?

¹⁸S kime ćete prispodobit' Boga? I s kakvim ga likom usporedit'?

¹⁹A workman has cast an image, and the goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts silver chains for it.

¹⁹Ljevač lijeva idol, zlatar ga pozlaćuje i lijeva od srebra lančiće.

²⁰He who is too impoverished for such an offering chooses a tree that will not rot. He seeks a skillful workman to set up an engraved image for him that will not be moved.

²⁰Siromah za prinos bira drvo koje ne trune; i vješta traži umjetnika. da mu načini kip nepomičan.

²¹Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard, yet? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Haven’t you understood from the foundations of the earth?

²¹Zar ne znate? Zar niste čuli? Nije li vam odiskona otkriveno? Zar niste shvatili tko zasnova zemlju?

²²It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in;

²²On stoluje vrh kruga zemaljskoga kom su stanovnici poput skakavaca. Kao zastor nebesa je razastro, kao šator za stan razapeo.

²³who brings princes to nothing; who makes the judges of the earth like meaningless.

²³On obraća u ništa knezove, uništava suce zemaljske.

²⁴They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.

²⁴Tek što su zasađeni, tek što su posijani, tek što im stabljika u zemlju korijen pruži, on puhne na njih i oni posahnu, vihor ih k'o pljevu raznese.

²⁵“To whom then will you liken me? Who is my equal?” says the Holy One.

²⁵"S kime ćete mene prispodobit', tko mi je ravan?" - kaže Svetac.

²⁶Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their army by number. He calls them all by name. by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, Not one is lacking.

²⁶Podignite oči i gledajte: tko je to stvorio? Onaj koji na broj izvodi vojsku njihovu i koji ih sve zove po imenu.

²⁷Why do you say, Jacob, and speak, Israel, “My way is hidden from Yahweh, and the justice due me is disregarded by my God?”

²⁷Zašto kažeš, Jakove, i ti, Izraele, govoriš: "Moj put sakriven je Jahvi, Bogu mom izmiče moja pravica?"

²⁸Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, The Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

²⁸Zar ne znaš? Zar nisi čuo? Jahve je Bog vječni, krajeva zemaljskih stvoritelj. On se ne umara, ne sustaje, i um je njegov neizmjerljiv.

²⁹He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.

²⁹Umornome snagu vraća, jača nemoćnoga.

³⁰Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall;

³⁰Mladići se more i malakšu, iznemogli, momci posrću.

³¹But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

³¹Al' onima što se u Jahvu uzdaju snaga se obnavlja, krila im rastu kao orlovima, trče i ne sustaju, hode i ne more se.
