< Isaiah 55 >
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
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 do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently to me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
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: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of 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 given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
Evo, dadoh ga za svjedoka narodima, za voða i zapovjednika narodima.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run to thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
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 ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Tražite Gospoda, dok se može naæi; prizivajte ga, dokle je blizu.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly 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, saith the LORD.
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 are my ways 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 as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not there, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
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 shall my word be that proceedeth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent 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 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall 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 thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Mjesto trnja niknuæe jela, mjesto koprive niknuæe mirta; i to æe biti Gospodu u slavu, za vjeèan znak, kojega neæe nestati.
