< Isaiah 56 >

1 This is what the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.
Ovako veli Gospod: pazite na sud, i tvorite pravdu, jer æe skoro doæi spasenje moje, i pravda æe se moja objaviti.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
Blago èovjeku koji tako èini, i sinu èovjeèijemu koji se drži toga èuvajuæi subotu da je ne oskvrni, èuvajuæi ruku svoju da ne uèini zla.
3 Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, “The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.” And let the eunuch not say, “I am but a dry tree.”
I neka ne govori tuðin koji pristane uz Gospoda: Gospod me je odluèio od svoga naroda; i neka ne govori uškopljenik: gle, ja sam suho drvo.
4 For this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, who choose what pleases Me and hold fast to My covenant—
Jer ovako veli Gospod za uškopljenike: koji drže subote moje i izbiraju što je meni ugodno, i drže zavjet moj,
5 I will give them, in My house and within My walls, a memorial and a name better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
Njima æu dati u domu svom i meðu zidovima svojim mjesto i ime bolje nego sinova i kæeri, ime vjeèno daæu svakome od njih, koje se neæe zatrti.
6 And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to minister to Him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be His servants— all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant—
A tuðine koji pristanu uz Gospoda da mu služe i da ljube ime Gospodnje, da mu budu sluge, koji god drže subotu da je ne oskvrne i drže zavjet moj,
7 I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar, for My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations.”
Njih æu dovesti na svetu goru svoju i razveseliæu ih u domu svojem molitvenom; žrtve njihove paljenice i druge žrtve biæe ugodne na oltaru mom, jer æe se dom moj zvati dom molitve svijem narodima.
8 Thus declares the Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel: “I will gather to them still others besides those already gathered.”
Gospod Gospod govori, koji sabira prognanike Izrailjeve: još æu mu sabrati osim onijeh koji su sabrani.
9 Come, all you beasts of the field; eat greedily, all you beasts of the forest.
Sve zvijeri poljske, hodite da jedete, sve zvijeri šumske.
10 Israel’s watchmen are blind, they are all oblivious; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they are dreamers lying around, loving to slumber.
Svi su mu stražari slijepi, ništa ne znaju, svi su psi nijemi, ne mogu lajati, sanljivi su, leže, mio im je drijemež.
11 Like ravenous dogs, they are never satisfied. They are shepherds with no discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain:
I psi su proždrljivi, koji ne znaju za sitost; i pastiri su koji ne znaju za razum, svaki se okreæe svojim putem, svaki za svojom korišæu sa svoga kraja.
12 “Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”
Hodite, uzeæu vina i napiæemo se silovita piæa, i sjutra æe biti kao danas, i još mnogo više.
