Izaija 56
1 Tako govori Gospod: »Varujte sodbo in ravnajte pravično, kajti moja rešitev duš je blizu, da pride in moja pravičnost, da se razodene.
Thus saith YHWH, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blagoslovljen je človek, ki to počne in človeški sin, ki se tega oprime, ki varuje šabat pred omadeževanjem in zadržuje svojo roko pred početjem kakršnega koli zla.
Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 Niti ne pusti sinu tujca, ki se je pridružil Gospodu, govoriti, rekoč: › Gospod me je popolnoma ločil od svojega ljudstva.‹ Niti naj evnuh ne reče: ›Glej, jaz sem suho drevo.‹
Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to YHWH, speak, saying, YHWH hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 Kajti tako govori Gospod evnuhom, ki se držijo mojih šabat in izbirajo stvari, ki mi ugajajo in se držijo moje zaveze;
For thus saith YHWH unto the eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 celo njim bom dal, v svoji hiši in znotraj svojih zidov, prostor in ime, boljše kakor od sinov in hčera. Dal jim bom večno ime, ki ne bo iztrebljeno.
Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Tudi sinove tujca, ki se pridružijo Gospodu, da bi mu služili in da bi ljubili Gospodovo ime, da bi bili njegovi služabniki, vsak, kdor ohranja šabat pred tem, da bi ga omadeževal in se drži moje zaveze,
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to YHWH, to serve him, and to love the name of YHWH, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 celó pripeljal jih bom na svojo sveto goro in jih razveselil v svoji hiši molitve. Njihove žgalne daritve in njihove klavne daritve bodo sprejete na mojem oltarju, kajti moja hiša se bo imenovala hiša molitve za vsa ljudstva.‹«
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
8 Gospod Bog, ki zbira Izraelove pregnance, govori: »Še bom zbral k njemu druge, poleg tistih, ki so zbrani k njemu.
The Master YHWH which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9 Vse ve poljske živali, pridite, da požrete, da, vse ve živali v gozdu.
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
10 Njegovi stražarji so slepi. Vsi so nevedni, vsi so nemi psi, ne morejo lajati; spijo, legajo, radi dremajo.
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Da, pohlepni psi so, ki nikoli ne morejo imeti dovolj in pastirji, ki ne morejo razumeti. Vsi gledajo na svojo lastno pot, vsak za svojim dobičkom, od svoje meje.
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Pridite, pravijo: ›Šel bom po vino in nalili se bomo z močno pijačo in jutrišnji dan bo kakor ta dan in mnogo obilnejši.‹«
Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
