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, Yea he that hath no money, —Come ye—buy corn, and eat, Yea come—buy corn without money, And without price, wine and milk,
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 should ye spend, Money, for that which is not bread? Or your labour, for that which, satisfieth not? Keep on hearkening unto me, And, so eat that which is good, And let your soul take exquisite delight 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, Hearken, That your soul, may live, —That I may solemnise for you a covenant age-abiding, The Lovingkindness to David, well-assured.
4 Evo, dadoh ga za svjedoka narodima, za voða i zapovjednika narodima.
Lo! As a witness to the peoples, have I given him, —As 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.
Lo! A nation thou shalt not know, shalt thou call, And, a nation which hath not known thee, unto thee, shall run, —For the sake of Yahweh thy God, And for the Holy One of Israel, because he hath adorned thee.
6 Tražite Gospoda, dok se može naæi; prizivajte ga, dokle je blizu.
Seek Yahweh 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 lawless forsake his way, And the man of iniquity, his thoughts, —And let him return unto Yahweh That he may have compassion upon him, And unto 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, Nor, your ways, my ways, —Declareth Yahweh.
9 Nego koliko su nebesa više od zemlje, toliko su putovi moji viši od vaših putova, i misli moje od vaših misli.
For, higher, are the heavens than the earth, —So, higher, are My ways 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 and the snow descend from the heavens. And thither, do not return, Except they have watered the earth. And caused it to bring forth and bud, —And given 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 shall accomplish that which I please, And shall prosper in that whereunto I have 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 with gladness shall ye come forth, And in peace, shall ye be led, —the mountains and the hills shall break out, before you, into shouts of triumph, And all the wild trees 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-bush, shall come up the fir-tree, And instead of the nettle, shall come up the myrtle-tree, —So shall it become unto Yahweh, a Name, A Sign age-abiding, which shall not be cut off.
