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.
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.
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.
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Prignite uho svoje i hodite k meni; poslušajte, i živa æe biti duša vaša, i uèiniæu s vama zavjet vjeèan, milosti Davidove istinite.
Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
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 commander to 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, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
6 Tražite Gospoda, dok se može naæi; prizivajte ga, dokle je blizu.
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon 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 the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 Jer misli moje nijesu vaše misli, niti su vaši putovi moji putovi, veli Gospod;
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
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 cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, and giveth 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 shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
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 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.
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 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.
