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.
This is what Yahweh says, “Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is near, and my righteousness is about 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 does this, and who holds it tightly. He observes the Sabbath, not defiling it, and keeps 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.‹
Let no foreigner who has become a follower of Yahweh say, “Yahweh will certainly exclude me from his people.” The eunuch should not say, “See, 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 this is what Yahweh says, “To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths and choose what pleases me, and hold fast 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.
to them I will set up in my house and within my walls a monument that is better than having sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting monument that will never 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 foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh— to serve him, and who love the name of Yahweh, to worship him, every one who observes the Sabbath and who keeps from defiling it, and who holds fast 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.‹«
—I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar. For my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations,
8 Gospod Bog, ki zbira Izraelove pregnance, govori: »Še bom zbral k njemu druge, poleg tistih, ki so zbrani k njemu.
this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, who gathers the outcasts of Israel— I will still gather others in addition to them.”
9 Vse ve poljske živali, pridite, da požrete, da, vse ve živali v gozdu.
All you wild beasts of the field, come and devour, all you beasts in the forest!
10 Njegovi stražarji so slepi. Vsi so nevedni, vsi so nemi psi, ne morejo lajati; spijo, legajo, radi dremajo.
All their watchmen are blind, they do not understand. They are all silent dogs who cannot bark. They dream, and lying down they love to sleep.
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.
The dogs have big appetites; they can never get enough; they are shepherds without discernment; they have all turned to their own way, each one covetous for unjust gain.
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,” they say, “let us drink wine and liquor. Tomorrow will be like today, a day great beyond measure.”
