¹Thus says Yahweh to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their armor; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:

¹Takto hovorí Hospodin svojmu pomazanému, Cýrovi, ktorého pojmem za jeho pravicu, aby som pred ním podmanil národy a rozopnem bedrá kráľov, aby som pred ním otvoril dvere, a brány sa nebudú zamykať:

²“I will go before you, and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of brass in pieces, and cut apart the bars of iron.

²Ja pojdem pred tebou a vyrovnám to, čo je nerovné, skrúšim medené dvere a železné závory posekám.

³I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who call you by your name, even the God of Israel.

³A dám ti poklady, skryté vo tme, a ukryté klenoty, aby si poznal, že som to ja Hospodin, ktorý ťa volám po tvojom mene, Bôh Izraelov,

⁴For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.

⁴pre svojho služobníka Jakoba a pre Izraela, svojho vyvoleného! A tedy pomenoval som ťa tvojím menom a dal som ti krásne prímeno, hoci ma neznáš.

⁵I am Yahweh, and there is none else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen or, equip you, though you have not known me;

⁵Ja som Hospodin, a niet viacej nikoho; neni Boha krome mňa. Opásal som ťa, hoci ma neznáš,

⁶that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.

⁶aby poznali od východu slnca aj od západu, že nieto nikoho krome mňa. Ja som Hospodin, a niet viacej nikoho,

⁷I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

⁷ja, ktorý formujem svetlo a tvorím tmu, pôsobím pokoj a tvorím zlo, ja Hospodin činím to všetko!

⁸Distil, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Yahweh, have created it.

⁸Dajte rosu, nebesia, s hora, a vysoké oblaky nech lejú spravedlivosť; nech sa roztvorí zem, a nech plodia spasenie, a spravedlivosť nech vydá plody spolu! Ja Hospodin som to stvoril!

⁹Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands?’

⁹Beda tomu, kto sa pravotí so svojim tvorcom, črep s inými črepmi zeme! Či azda povie hlina svojmu hrnčiarovi: Čo to robíš? A o tebe tvoje dielo, vraj nemá rúk!

¹⁰Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘To what have you given birth?’”

¹⁰Beda tomu, kto hovorí otcovi: Načo plodíš? A žene: Načo rodíš?

¹¹Thus says Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!

¹¹Takto hovorí Hospodin, svätý Izraelov, a jeho tvorca: Pýtajte sa ma na to, čo prijde! Starosť o mojich synov a o dielo mojich rúk ponechajte na mňa!

¹²I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and I have commanded all their army.

¹²Ja som učinil zem a stvoril som človeka na nej; ja, moje ruky roztiahly nebesia, a velím všetkému ich vojsku.

¹³I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.

¹³Ja ho zobudím v spravedlivosti a urovnám všetky jeho cesty; on vystaví moje mesto a mojich zajatých prepustí, a to nie za mzdu ani nie za úplatný dar hovorí Hospodin Zástupov.

¹⁴Thus says Yahweh: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains; and they will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is none else. There is no other god.

¹⁴Takto hovorí Hospodin: Trud Egypta a zisk obchodu Ethiopie ako i Sebejci, mužovia vysokej postavy, prejdú k tebe a budú tvoji; za tebou pojdú, v putách prejdú a budú sa tebe klaňať, tebe sa budú modliť a povedia: Len u teba je silný Bôh, a nieto viacej, niet viacej nijakého Boha.

¹⁵Most certainly you are a God who hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”

¹⁵Aj si ty skutočne silný Bôh, skrývajúci sa, Bôh Izraelov, spasiteľ.

¹⁶They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.

¹⁶Ale tamtí sa budú hanbiť, aj rumenieť budú od studu, všetci ta pojdú spolu v stude tí, ktorí vyrábajú obrazy.

¹⁷Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

¹⁷Ale Izrael bude spasený Hospodinom spasením vekov; nebudete sa hanbiť ani nebudete rumenieť od studu až na veky veku.

¹⁸For thus says Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited: “I am Yahweh; and there is no other.

¹⁸Lebo takto hovorí Hospodin, stvoriteľ nebies, a on je Bôh, tvorca zeme a jej učiniteľ; on ju postavil tak, aby stála; nestvoril jej prázdnej; utvoril ju nato, aby sa bývalo na nej. Ja Hospodin, a niet viacej.

¹⁹I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

¹⁹Nehovorím niekde v úkryte, na tmavom mieste zeme; nepovedal som semenu Jakobovmu: Hľadajte ma na pustine! Ja Hospodin hovorím spravedlivosť, zvestujem to, čo je pravé.

²⁰“Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t save.

²⁰Shromaždite sa a poďte, priblížte sa spolu vy, ktorí ste unikli z pohanov! Nevedia ničoho tí, ktorí nosia drevo svojej rytiny a modlia sa bohu, ktorý nezachráni.

²¹Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; There is no one besides me.

²¹Oznámte a dajte sem, áno nech sa poradia spolu a povedia kto to ohlasoval od pradávna, oznamoval to od dávna? Či azda nie ja Hospodin? Lebo niet viacej nijakého Boha krome mňa, niet silného Boha spravedlivého a spasiteľa krome mňa!

²²“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

²²Obráťte zreteľ ku mne, aby ste boly spasené, všetky končiny zeme, lebo ja som silný Bôh, a niet viacej nikoho.

²³Prisahal som sám na seba, slovo vyšlo z úst spravedlivosti, ktoré sa nevráti zpät, že sa mne skloní každé koleno, že na mňa bude prisahať každý jazyk.

²⁴They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’” Even to him shall men come; and all those who were incensed against him shall be disappointed.

²⁴A povie: Len v Hospodinovi mám každú spravedlivosť a silu. - K nemu prijdú. A hanbiť sa budú všetci, ktorí sú zapálení proti nemu.

²⁵V Hospodinovi budú spravedliví a budú sa chváliť všetko semeno Izraelovo.
