Izaija 56
1 Ovako govori Jahve: “Držite se prava i činite pravdu, jer će uskoro doći moj spas i objaviti se moja pravednost.”
Thus, saith Yahweh, Observe ye justice, And execute righteousness, —For near, is My salvation, to come in, 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.
How happy the frail man, who doeth this! Yea the son of the earth-born who firmly graspeth it! Keeping the sabbath lest he profane it, and Keeping his own hand from doing any wrong.
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.”
And let not the son of the foreigner, who hath joined himself unto Yahweh, speak, saying, Yahweh, will separate, me from his people, Neither let the eunuch, say, Lo! I, am a tree dried up!
4 Jer ovako govori Jahve: “S uškopljenicima koji obdržavaju subotu, koji izabiru što je meni drago i ostanu postojani u Savezu mome -
For thus, saith Yahweh—Of the eunuchs, Who shall keep my sabbaths, And choose what I delight in, —And lay firm hold on 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.
That I will give unto them—In my house, And within my walls, A sign and a name, better than sons and daughters, —A name age-abiding, will I give him, which 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,
And, as for the sons of the foreigner—Who have joined themselves unto Yahweh To wait upon him, and To love the name of Yahweh, To become his for servants, —Every one who keepeth the sabbath, lest he profane it. And who, layeth firm hold on 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.”
Surely I will bring them into my holy mountain And make them joyful in my house of prayer, Their ascending-offerings and their sacrifices, being accepted upon mine altar, —For, my house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the peoples!
8 Riječ je Gospoda Jahve koji sabire raspršene Izraelce: “Sabrat ću ih još povrh onih koji su već sabrani.”
Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: —Yet others, will I gather unto him Besides his own gathered ones.
9 Sve zvijeri poljske, dođite jesti, i sve vi, zvijeri šumske!
All ye beasts of the field! come ye to devour, All ye 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 None of them, know, All of them, are dumb dogs, they cannot bark, —Dreaming, sleeping, loving to slumber.
11 Psi su to proždrljivi, nezasitni; pastiri su to bez razbora: svaki svojim putem okreće, svaki za dobitkom svojim.
And, the dogs, are greedy they know not to be satisfied. Yea, they, are shepherds who know not to discern, —All of them unto their own way, have turned, Every man to his unjust gain, on every hand:
12 “Dođite, donijet ću vina; napit ćemo se pića žestoka, i sutra će biti kao danas, izobilje veliko, preveliko!”
Come ye! I will fetch wine Let us fill ourselves with strong drink, —And like this day, shall, to-morrow be—Great beyond measure!
