Izaija 56
1 Ovako govori Jahve: “Držite se prava i činite pravdu, jer će uskoro doći moj spas i objaviti se moja pravednost.”
Thus says the LORD, Keep you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blago čovjeku koji čini tako i sinu čovječjem što se toga pridržava: koji poštuje subotu da je ne oskvrni i koji ruke svoje čuva od svakoga zla djela.
Blessed is the man that does this, and the son of man that lays hold on it; that keeps the sabbath from polluting it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neka sin tuđinčev koji je prionuo uz Jahvu ne govori: “Jamačno će me Jahve odvojiti od svojega naroda.” Neka uškopljenik ne govori: “Ja sam, evo, tek suho drvo.”
Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 Jer ovako govori Jahve: “S uškopljenicima koji obdržavaju subotu, koji izabiru što je meni drago i ostanu postojani u Savezu mome -
For thus says the LORD to the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 podići ću u kući svojoj i među svojim zidovima spomenik i ime, bolje nego sinovima i kćerima, dat ću im vječno ime koje neće biti iskorijenjeno.
Even to them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 A sinove tuđinske koji pristadoše uz Jahvu da mu služe i da ljube ime Jahvino i da mu budu službenici, koji poštuju subotu i ne oskvrnjuju je i postojani su u Savezu mome,
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keeps the sabbath from polluting it, and takes hold of my covenant;
7 njih ću dovesti na svoju svetu goru i razveseliti u svojem Domu molitve. Njihove žrtve paljenice i klanice bit će ugodne na mojem žrtveniku, jer će se Dom moj zvati Dom molitve za sve narode.”
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
8 Riječ je Gospoda Jahve koji sabire raspršene Izraelce: “Sabrat ću ih još povrh onih koji su već sabrani.”
The Lord GOD, which gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered to him.
9 Sve zvijeri poljske, dođite jesti, i sve vi, zvijeri šumske!
All you beasts of the field, come to devour, yes, all you beasts in the forest.
10 Svi su mu stražari slijepi, i ništa ne shvaćaju. Svi su oni psi nijemi, ne mogu lajati. Sanjaju i drijemlju, najmilije im spavati.
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Psi su to proždrljivi, nezasitni; pastiri su to bez razbora: svaki svojim putem okreće, svaki za dobitkom svojim.
Yes, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 “Dođite, donijet ću vina; napit ćemo se pića žestoka, i sutra će biti kao danas, izobilje veliko, preveliko!”
Come you, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
