1 Tešite, tešite narod moj, govori Bog vaš.
1 “Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God.
2 Govorite Jerusalimu ljubazno, i javljajte mu da se navršio rok njegov, da mu se bezakonje oprostilo, jer je primio iz ruke Gospodnje dvojinom za sve grehe svoje.
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.”
3 Glas je nekoga koji viče: Pripravite u pustinji put Gospodnji, poravnite u pustoši stazu Bogu našem.
3 The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God.
4 Sve doline neka se povise, i sve gore i bregovi neka se slegnu, i što je krivo neka bude pravo, i neravna mesta neka budu ravna.
4 Every 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.
5 I javiće se slava Gospodnja, i svako će telo videti; jer usta Gospodnja govoriše.
5 Yahweh’s glory shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.”
6 Glas govori: Viči. I reče: Šta da vičem? Da je svako telo trava i sve dobro njegovo kao cvet poljski.
6 The voice of one saying, “Cry out!” One said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.
7 Suši se trava, cvet opada kad duh Gospodnji dune na nj; doista je narod trava.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh’s breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass.
8 Suši se trava, cvet opada; ali reč Boga našeg ostaje doveka.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever.”
9 Izađi na visoku goru, Sione, koji javljaš dobre glasove; podigni silno glas svoj, Jerusalime, koji javljaš dobre glasove; podigni, ne boj se. Kaži gradovima Judinim: Evo Boga vašeg.
9 You 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!”
10 Evo, Gospod Bog ide na jakog, i mišica će Njegova ovladati njim; evo plata je njegova kod Njega i delo njegovo pred Njim.
10 Behold, 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.
11 Kao pastir pašće stado svoje; u naručje svoje sabraće jaganjce, i u nedrima će ih nositi, a dojilice će voditi polako.
11 He 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.
12 Ko je izmerio vodu grstima svojim i nebesa premerio peđu? Ko je merom izmerio prah zemaljski, i gore izmerio na merila i bregove na poteg?
12 Who 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 measuring basket, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Ko je upravljao Duhom Gospodnjim? Ili Mu bio savetnik i naučio Ga?
13 Who has directed Yahweh’s Spirit, or has taught him as his counselor?
14 S kim se dogovarao i ko Ga je urazumio i naučio putu suda, i naučio Ga znanju i pokazao Mu put razuma?
14 Who 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?
15 Gle, narodi su kao kap iz vedra, i kao praška na merilima broje se; gle, premešta ostrva kao prašak.
15 Behold, 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.
16 Ni Livan ne bi bio dosta za oganj, i životinje njegove ne bi bile dosta za žrtvu paljenicu.
16 Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor its animals sufficient for a burnt offering.
17 Svi su narodi kao ništa pred Njim, manje negoli ništa i taština vrede Mu.
17 All the nations are like nothing before him. They are regarded by him as less than nothing, and vanity.
18 S kim ćete dakle izjednačiti Boga? I kakvu ćete Mu priliku naći?
18 To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to him?
19 Umetnik lije lik, i zlatar ga pozlaćuje, i verižice srebrne lije.
19 A workman has cast an image, and the goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts silver chains for it.
20 A ko je siromah, te nema šta prineti, bira drvo koje ne trune, i traži veštog umetnika da načini rezan lik, koji se ne pomiče.
20 He who is too impoverished for such an offering chooses a tree that will not rot. He seeks a skillful workman to set up a carved image for him that will not be moved.
21 Ne znate li? Ne čujete li? Ne kazuje li vam se od iskona? Ne razumete li od temelja zemaljskih?
21 Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Haven’t you understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 On sedi nad krugom zemaljskim, i njeni su Mu stanovnici kao skakavci; On je razastro nebesa kao platno i razapeo ih kao šator za stan.
22 It 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,
23 On obraća knezove u ništa, sudije zemaljske čini da su kao taština.
23 who brings princes to nothing, who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.
24 Kao da nisu posađeni ni posejani, i kao da im se stablo nije ukorenilo u zemlji, čim dune na njih, posahnu, i vihor kao plevu raznese ih.
24 They 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.
25 S kim ćete me dakle izjednačiti da bih bio kao on? veli Sveti.
25 “To whom then will you liken me? Who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
26 Podignite gore oči svoje i vidite; ko je to stvorio? Ko izvodi vojsku svega toga na broj i zove svako po imenu, i velike radi sile Njegove i jake moći ne izostaje nijedno?
26 Lift 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.
27 Zašto govoriš, Jakove, i kažeš, Izrailju: Sakriven je put moj od Gospoda, i stvar moja ne izlazi pred Boga mog?
27 Why do you say, Jacob, and speak, Israel, “My way is hidden from Yahweh, and the justice due me is disregarded by my God”?
28 Ne znaš li? Nisi li čuo da Bog večni Gospod, koji je stvorio krajeve zemaljske, ne sustaje niti se utruđuje? Razumu Njegovom nema mere.
28 Haven’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.
29 On daje snagu umornom, i nejakom umnožava krepost.
29 He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.
30 Deca se more i sustaju, i mladići padaju;
30 Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall;
31 Ali koji se nadaju Gospodu, dobijaju novu snagu, podižu se na krilima kao orlovi, trče i ne sustaju, hode i ne more se.
31 but 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.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And thus He forewarns us: "Behold, the Lord [cometh], and His reward is before His face, to render to every man according to his work." He exhorts us, therefore, with our whole heart to attend to this, that we be not lazy or slothful in any good work.
Ye have heard "that the heavens are meted out in the palm of [His] hand:" tell me the measure, and recount the endless multitude of cubits, explain to me the fulness, the breadth, the length, the height, the beginning and end of the measurement,--things which the heart of man understands not, neither does it comprehend them.
Because the scroll shall be rolled together, and the grass over which it was spread shall with its goodliness pass away; but Thy Word remaineth for ever, which now appeareth unto us in the dark image of the clouds, and through the glass of the heavens, not as it is; because we also, although we be the well-beloved of Thy …

Thus the prophet saith that he shall come saying, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight." And he himself when he was come said, "Bring forth fruits meet for repentance," which corresponds with, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord." Seest thou that both by the words of the prophet, and by his own preaching, this …
