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:

¹Tako pravi GOSPOD maziljencu svojemu, Ciru, ki sem ga prijel za desnico, da porazim pred njim narode, in hočem razpasati ledje kraljem, da odprem duri pred njim in vrata ne ostanejo zaprta:

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.

²Jaz bom hodil pred teboj in poravnaval, kar ni ravno; vrata jeklena razbijem in polomim železne zapahe,

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.

³in dam ti zaklade, zakopane v temi, in blago, shranjeno na skrivnem, da spoznaš, da sem jaz GOSPOD, ki sem te poklical po imenu tvojem, Bog 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.

⁴Zaradi hlapca svojega Jakoba in Izraela, izvoljenca svojega, sem te klical po imenu tvojem, dal ti priimek, dasi me nisi poznal.

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;

⁵Jaz sem GOSPOD in nobenega drugega ni, razen mene ni Boga. Opašem te, dasi me ne poznaš,

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.

⁶da naj spoznajo od solnčnega vzhoda in od zahoda njegovega, da ni nobenega drugega razen mene. Jaz sem GOSPOD in nobenega drugega ni!

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

⁷ki ustvarjam svetlobo in delam temo, narejam mir in napravljam nesrečo; jaz GOSPOD sem, ki delam vse to.

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.

⁸Rosite z viška, nebesa, in najvišji oblaki, dežíte pravičnost! odpri se, zemlja, in ródi zveličanje in hkratu naj vzraste pravičnost. Jaz, GOSPOD, sem ustvaril to.

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?’

⁹Gorje mu, ki se prepira z obrazovateljem svojim, čepinja med čepinjami prstenimi! Sme li pač reči glina obrazovatelju svojemu: Kaj delaš? ali tvoje delo o tebi: Rok nima!

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?’”

¹⁰Gorje njemu, ki pravi očetu: Čemu rodiš? in ženi: Čemu si v porodnih bolečinah?

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!

¹¹Tako pravi GOSPOD, Svetnik Izraelov in obrazovatelj njegov: Vprašajte me za to, kar ima priti, za otroke moje in za rok mojih delo mi naročajte!

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.

¹²Jaz sem naredil zemljo in ustvaril človeka na njej; jaz, moje roke so razpele nebesa in sleherni njih vojski sem dal povelja.

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.

¹³Jaz sem ga zbudil v pravičnosti in poravnam vsa pota njegova; on sezida mesto moje in odgnance moje pošlje nazaj, ne za kupno ceno ne za denar, govori GOSPOD nad vojskami.

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.

¹⁴Tako pravi GOSPOD: Pridelek egiptovski in dobiček Etiopije in Sabejci, možje visoke postave, preidejo na tvojo stran in bodo tvoji; za teboj pojdejo, zvezani preidejo k tebi in tebi se bodo klanjali, tebe bodo prosili, govoreč: Zares, Bog mogočni je pri tebi, in nobenega drugega Boga ni nikjer drugod.

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

¹⁵Resnično, ti si Bog mogočni, skrivajoči se, o Bog Izraelov, Rešitelj!

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

¹⁶Sramovali se bodo in osramočeni bodo vsi, s sramoto odidejo vsi podobarji!

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

¹⁷Izrael bo rešen po GOSPODU z večnim rešenjem; ne bode vas sram in osramočeni ne boste na večne veke.

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.

¹⁸Kajti tako pravi GOSPOD, stvarnik nebes (on sam je Bog!), obrazovatelj zemlje in stvaritelj njen; on jo je utrdil, ni je ustvaril puste, ampak upodobil jo je v prebivanje: Jaz sem GOSPOD in drugega ni nobenega.

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.

¹⁹Nisem govoril na skrivnem, v kraju temne zemlje; nisem velel semenu Jakobovemu: Iščite me brezuspešno! Jaz sem GOSPOD, ki govorim pravičnost, oznanjam, kar je pravo.

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.

²⁰Zberite se in pridite, bližajte se vsi, ki ste ušli iz poganskih narodov! Nimajo spoznanja, ki nosijo les rezane podobe svoje in molijo k bogu, ki ne more rešiti.

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.

²¹Napovejte in blizu prinesite! Tudi posvetujejo naj se med seboj! Kdo je oznanjal to od prvih dni, kdo je napovedoval to od davnega časa? Ali ne jaz, GOSPOD? in nobenega drugega Boga ni razen mene; mogočnega Boga, pravičnega in rešitelja ni drugega razen mene.

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

²²Ozrite se v mene in rešeni bodete, vsi kraji zemlje, zakaj jaz sem Bog mogočni in drug nobeden.

²³Pri sebi sem prisegel, iz ust pravičnosti je prišla beseda, ki se ne prekliče: da se meni pripogne vsako koleno, meni bo prisegal vsak jezik.

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.

²⁴Samo v GOSPODU, poreko o meni, je vsa pravičnost in moč. K njemu pridejo, ali osramočeni bodo vsi, ki so se vnemali zoper njega.V GOSPODU bo opravičeno in se bo hvalilo vse seme Izraelovo.

²⁵V GOSPODU bo opravičeno in se bo hvalilo vse seme Izraelovo.
