< Isaija 55 >
1 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.
“Hey! Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 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.
Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Sh'ma ·Hear obey· sh'ma ·hear obey· unto me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.
3 Prignite uho svoje i hodite k meni; poslušajte, i živa æe biti duša vaša, i uèiniæu s vama zavjet vjeèan, milosti Davidove istinite.
Turn your ear, and come to me. Sh'ma ·Hear obey·, and your soul will live: and I will make an everlasting covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with you, even to give you the chesed ·loving-kindness· shown to David [Beloved].
4 Evo, dadoh ga za svjedoka narodima, za voða i zapovjednika narodima.
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and enjoiner unto the peoples.
5 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.
Behold, you shall call a nation that you don’t know; and a nation that didn’t know you shall run to you, because of Adonai your God, and for haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails]; for he has glorified you.”
6 Tražite Gospoda, dok se može naæi; prizivajte ga, dokle je blizu.
Seek Adonai while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.
7 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.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and those who practice vain striving of iniquity his thoughts. Let him make teshuvah ·complete return· to Adonai, and he will have racham ·merciful love· on him; and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8 Jer misli moje nijesu vaše misli, niti su vaši putovi moji putovi, veli Gospod;
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Adonai.
9 Nego koliko su nebesa više od zemlje, toliko su putovi moji viši od vaših putova, i misli moje od vaših misli.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 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,
For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and does not teshuvah ·completely return· there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 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.
so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not teshuvah ·completely return· to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
12 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.
For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace. The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.
13 Mjesto trnja niknuæe jela, mjesto koprive niknuæe mirta; i to æe biti Gospodu u slavu, za vjeèan znak, kojega neæe nestati.
Instead of the thorn the cypress tree will come up; and instead of the brier the myrtle tree will come up: and it will make a name for Adonai, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”
