Isaiah 55
1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!
Oj žedni koji ste god, hodite na vodu, i koji nemate novaca, hodite, kupujte i jedite; hodite, kupujte bez novaca i bez plate vina i mlijeka.
2 Why spend money on that which is not bread, and your labor on that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.
Zašto trošite novce svoje na ono što nije hrana, i trud svoj na ono što ne siti? Slušajte me, pa æete jesti što je dobro, i duša æe se vaša nasladiti pretiline.
3 Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant— My loving devotion promised to David.
Prignite uho svoje i hodite k meni; poslušajte, i živa æe biti duša vaša, i uèiniæu s vama zavjet vjeèan, milosti Davidove istinite.
4 Behold, I have made him a witness to the nations, a leader and commander of the peoples.
Evo, dadoh ga za svjedoka narodima, za voða i zapovjednika narodima.
5 Surely you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, has bestowed glory on you.”
Evo, zvaæeš narod kojega nijesi znao, i narodi koji te nijesu znali steæi æe se k tebi, radi Gospoda Boga tvojega i sveca Izrailjeva, jer te proslavi.
6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.
Tražite Gospoda, dok se može naæi; prizivajte ga, dokle je blizu.
7 Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.
Neka bezbožnik ostavi svoj put i nepravednik misli svoje; i neka se vrati ka Gospodu, i smilovaæu se na nj, i k Bogu našemu, jer prašta mnogo.
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,”
Jer misli moje nijesu vaše misli, niti su vaši putovi moji putovi, veli Gospod;
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Nego koliko su nebesa više od zemlje, toliko su putovi moji viši od vaših putova, i misli moje od vaših misli.
10 For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,
Jer kako pada dažd ili snijeg s neba i ne vraæa se onamo, nego natapa zemlju i uèini da raða i da se zeleni, da daje sjemena da se sije i hljeba da se jede,
11 so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.
Tako æe biti rijeè moja kad izide iz mojih usta: neæe se vratiti k meni prazna, nego æe uèiniti što mi je drago, i sreæno æe svršiti na što je pošljem.
12 You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Jer æete s veseljem izaæi, i u miru æete biti voðeni; gore i bregovi pjevaæe pred vama od radosti, i sva æe drveta poljska pljeskati rukama.
13 Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up; they will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”
Mjesto trnja niknuæe jela, mjesto koprive niknuæe mirta; i to æe biti Gospodu u slavu, za vjeèan znak, kojega neæe nestati.
