Isaiah 56
1 Thus says the Lord: Preserve judgment, and accomplish justice. For my salvation is close to its arrival, and my justice is close to being revealed.
Ovako veli Gospod: pazite na sud, i tvorite pravdu, jer æe skoro doæi spasenje moje, i pravda æe se moja objaviti.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds to this, keeping the Sabbath and not profaning it, guarding his hands and not doing any evil.
Blago èovjeku koji tako èini, i sinu èovjeèijemu koji se drži toga èuvajuæi subotu da je ne oskvrni, èuvajuæi ruku svoju da ne uèini zla.
3 And let not the son of the new arrival, who adheres to the Lord, speak, saying, “The Lord will divide and separate me from his people.” And let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
I neka ne govori tuðin koji pristane uz Gospoda: Gospod me je odluèio od svoga naroda; i neka ne govori uškopljenik: gle, ja sam suho drvo.
4 For thus says the Lord to the eunuchs: They will keep my Sabbaths, and they will choose the things that I will, and they will hold to my covenant.
Jer ovako veli Gospod za uškopljenike: koji drže subote moje i izbiraju što je meni ugodno, i drže zavjet moj,
5 I will give them a place in my house, within my walls, and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, which will never perish.
Njima æu dati u domu svom i meðu zidovima svojim mjesto i ime bolje nego sinova i kæeri, ime vjeèno daæu svakome od njih, koje se neæe zatrti.
6 And the sons of the new arrival, who adhere to the Lord so as to worship him and to love his name, shall be his servants: all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it, and who hold to my covenant.
A tuðine koji pristanu uz Gospoda da mu služe i da ljube ime Gospodnje, da mu budu sluge, koji god drže subotu da je ne oskvrne i drže zavjet moj,
7 I will lead them to my holy mountain, and I will gladden them in my house of prayer. Their holocausts and their victims will be pleasing to me upon my altar. For my house will be called the house of prayer for all peoples.
Njih æu dovesti na svetu goru svoju i razveseliæu ih u domu svojem molitvenom; žrtve njihove paljenice i druge žrtve biæe ugodne na oltaru mom, jer æe se dom moj zvati dom molitve svijem narodima.
8 The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, says: Even now, I will gather his congregation to him.
Gospod Gospod govori, koji sabira prognanike Izrailjeve: još æu mu sabrati osim onijeh koji su sabrani.
9 All beasts of the field, all the beasts of the forest: approach and devour!
Sve zvijeri poljske, hodite da jedete, sve zvijeri šumske.
10 His watchmen are all blind. They are all ignorant. They are mute dogs without the ability to bark, seeing empty things, sleeping and loving dreams.
Svi su mu stražari slijepi, ništa ne znaju, svi su psi nijemi, ne mogu lajati, sanljivi su, leže, mio im je drijemež.
11 And these very imprudent dogs have never known satisfaction. The shepherds themselves do not know understanding. All have turned aside in their own way, each one to his own avarice, from the highest even to the least:
I psi su proždrljivi, koji ne znaju za sitost; i pastiri su koji ne znaju za razum, svaki se okreæe svojim putem, svaki za svojom korišæu sa svoga kraja.
12 “Come, let us take wine, and be filled by inebriation. And as it is today, so shall it be tomorrow and for a long time.”
Hodite, uzeæu vina i napiæemo se silovita piæa, i sjutra æe biti kao danas, i još mnogo više.
