Isaiah 56
1 Yahweh says [to all the people of Judah], “Do the things that are fair and just, because I will soon come to rescue [DOU] you.
Ovako veli Gospod: pazite na sud, i tvorite pravdu, jer æe skoro doæi spasenje moje, i pravda æe se moja objaviti.
2 I will bless those who faithfully obey my laws about the Sabbath/rest days. I will bless those who (keep sacred/honor) my Sabbath/rest days, and who do not do any work on those days, and who refrain from [MTY] doing anything that is 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 And foreigners who have believed in me should not say, ‘Yahweh will surely not allow me to belong to his people.’ And eunuchs should not say, ‘[Because I am unable to have children, I cannot belong to Yahweh]; I am like [MET] a tree that has completely withered.’
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 They should not say that, because [I], Yahweh, say this to the eunuchs who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who choose to do the things that please me, and who obey all [the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people]:
Jer ovako veli Gospod za uškopljenike: koji drže subote moje i izbiraju što je meni ugodno, i drže zavjet moj,
5 I will cause to be put inside the walls of my temple a monument [DOU] to them; because of that monument, they will be honored more than they would have if they had children; they will be honored forever.
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 I will also bless those who are not Israelis, who (join themselves to/believe in) me, and who serve me and worship and love me, and who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who faithfully obey [all the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people].
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 sacred hill [in Jerusalem], I will cause them to be [very] joyful in my temple where people pray to me, and I will accept the sacrifices that they completely burn [on my altar] and other sacrifices that they offer. I will do those things for them because I want my temple to be a building where people of all nations pray to me.
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 [I], Yahweh, the Lord, the one who will bring back the people of Israel who have been (forced to go/exiled) to other countries, say this: 'I will bring [from other countries] many more people to join those Israelis whom I have brought back.'”
Gospod Gospod govori, koji sabira prognanike Izrailjeve: još æu mu sabrati osim onijeh koji su sabrani.
9 “You [surrounding nations have armies that are like] [MET] animals in the forest; come and attack/destroy [Israel]!
Sve zvijeri poljske, hodite da jedete, sve zvijeri šumske.
10 The Israeli leaders [should be like] watchdogs to protect the people, but [it is as though] they are blind. They are stupid. They are all [like] [MET] dogs that cannot bark. [Good watchdogs bark when strangers approach], [but the Israeli leaders do not warn the people that their enemies are coming]. Instead, they just want to lie down and sleep and dream.
Svi su mu stražari slijepi, ništa ne znaju, svi su psi nijemi, ne mogu lajati, sanljivi su, leže, mio im je drijemež.
11 [And they are like] greedy dogs; they never get all that they want. They are [supposed to lead the people, like good] shepherds [lead their flocks], but they are ignorant, and they each do whatever they want to do.
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 They say to each other, ‘Come, let’s go and get some wine and [other] alcoholic/strong drinks, and let’s become drunk! And tomorrow we will enjoy drinking even more!’”
Hodite, uzeæu vina i napiæemo se silovita piæa, i sjutra æe biti kao danas, i još mnogo više.
