Isaiah 56
1 Thus says the LORD, "Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Tako govori Gospod: »Varujte sodbo in ravnajte pravično, kajti moja rešitev duš je blizu, da pride in moja pravičnost, da se razodene.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil."
Blagoslovljen je človek, ki to počne in človeški sin, ki se tega oprime, ki varuje šabat pred omadeževanjem in zadržuje svojo roko pred početjem kakršnega koli zla.
3 Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, "The LORD will surely separate me from his people"; neither let the eunuch say, "Look, I am a dry tree."
Niti ne pusti sinu tujca, ki se je pridružil Gospodu, govoriti, rekoč: › Gospod me je popolnoma ločil od svojega ljudstva.‹ Niti naj evnuh ne reče: ›Glej, jaz sem suho drevo.‹
4 For thus says the LORD, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
Kajti tako govori Gospod evnuhom, ki se držijo mojih šabat in izbirajo stvari, ki mi ugajajo in se držijo moje zaveze;
5 to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
celo njim bom dal, v svoji hiši in znotraj svojih zidov, prostor in ime, boljše kakor od sinov in hčera. Dal jim bom večno ime, ki ne bo iztrebljeno.
6 Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant;
Tudi sinove tujca, ki se pridružijo Gospodu, da bi mu služili in da bi ljubili Gospodovo ime, da bi bili njegovi služabniki, vsak, kdor ohranja šabat pred tem, da bi ga omadeževal in se drži moje zaveze,
7 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 will be called a house of prayer for all peoples."
celó pripeljal jih bom na svojo sveto goro in jih razveselil v svoji hiši molitve. Njihove žgalne daritve in njihove klavne daritve bodo sprejete na mojem oltarju, kajti moja hiša se bo imenovala hiša molitve za vsa ljudstva.‹«
8 The LORD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered."
Gospod Bog, ki zbira Izraelove pregnance, govori: »Še bom zbral k njemu druge, poleg tistih, ki so zbrani k njemu.
9 All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
Vse ve poljske živali, pridite, da požrete, da, vse ve živali v gozdu.
10 His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
Njegovi stražarji so slepi. Vsi so nevedni, vsi so nemi psi, ne morejo lajati; spijo, legajo, radi dremajo.
11 Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds who can't understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
Da, pohlepni psi so, ki nikoli ne morejo imeti dovolj in pastirji, ki ne morejo razumeti. Vsi gledajo na svojo lastno pot, vsak za svojim dobičkom, od svoje meje.
12 "Come," say they, "I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure."
Pridite, pravijo: ›Šel bom po vino in nalili se bomo z močno pijačo in jutrišnji dan bo kakor ta dan in mnogo obilnejši.‹«
