Isaiah 56
1 Thus saith the Lord, Keepe iudgement and doe iustice: for my saluation is at hand to come, and my righteousnes to be reueiled.
Ovako govori Jahve: “Držite se prava i činite pravdu, jer će uskoro doći moj spas i objaviti se moja pravednost.”
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the sonne of man which layeth holde on it: hee that keepeth the Sabbath and polluteth it not, and keepeth his hand from doing any euill.
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.
3 And let not the sonne of the stranger, which is ioyned to the Lord, speake and say, The Lord hath surely separate me from his people: neither let the Eunuch say, Beholde, I am a drye tree.
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.”
4 For thus saith the Lord vnto the Eunuches, that keepe my Sabbaths, and chuse the thing that pleaseth me, and take holde of my couenant,
Jer ovako govori Jahve: “S uškopljenicima koji obdržavaju subotu, koji izabiru što je meni drago i ostanu postojani u Savezu mome -
5 Euen vnto them wil I giue in mine House and within my walles, a place and a name better then of the sonnes and of the daughters: I will giue them an euerlasting name, that shall not be put out.
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.
6 Also the strangers that cleaue vnto the Lord, to serue him, and to loue the Name of the Lord, and to be his seruants: euery one that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not and imbraceth my couenant,
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,
7 Them wil I bring also to mine holy mountaine, and make them ioyfull in mine House of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted vpon mine altar: for mine House shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
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.”
8 The Lord God sayth, which gathereth the scattered of Israel, Yet wil I gather to them those that are to be gathered to them.
Riječ je Gospoda Jahve koji sabire raspršene Izraelce: “Sabrat ću ih još povrh onih koji su već sabrani.”
9 All ye beastes of the fielde, come to deuoure, euen all ye beastes of the forest.
Sve zvijeri poljske, dođite jesti, i sve vi, zvijeri šumske!
10 Their watchmen are all blinde: they haue no knowledge: they are all dumme dogs: they can not barke: they lie and sleepe and delite in sleeping.
Svi su mu stražari slijepi, i ništa ne shvaćaju. Svi su oni psi nijemi, ne mogu lajati. Sanjaju i drijemlju, najmilije im spavati.
11 And these griedy dogs can neuer haue ynough: and these shepheards cannot vnderstand: for they all looke to their owne way, euery one for his aduantage, and for his owne purpose.
Psi su to proždrljivi, nezasitni; pastiri su to bez razbora: svaki svojim putem okreće, svaki za dobitkom svojim.
12 Come, I wil bring wine, and we wil fill our selues with strong drinke, and to morowe shalbe as this day, and much more abundant.
“Dođite, donijet ću vina; napit ćemo se pića žestoka, i sutra će biti kao danas, izobilje veliko, preveliko!”
