Isaiah 55
1 Ho, euery one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and ye that haue no siluer, come, bye and eate: come, I say, bye wine and milke without siluer and without money.
“O svi vi koji ste žedni, dođite na vodu; ako novaca i nemate, dođite. Bez novaca i bez naplate kupite vina i mlijeka!
2 Wherefore doe ye lay out siluer and not for bread? and your labour without being satisfied? hearken diligently vnto me, and eate that which is good, and let your soule delite in fatnes.
Zašto da trošite novac na ono što kruh nije i nadnicu svoju na ono što ne siti? Mene poslušajte, i dobro ćete jesti i sočna ćete uživati jela.
3 Encline your eares, and come vnto me: heare, and your soule shall liue, and I will make an euerlasting couenant with you, euen the sure mercies of Dauid.
Priklonite uho i k meni dođite, poslušajte, i duša će vam živjeti. Sklopit ću s vama Savez vječan, Savez milosti Davidu obećanih.”
4 Beholde, I gaue him for a witnes to the people, for a prince and a master vnto the people.
Evo, učinih te svjedokom pucima, knezom i zapovjednikom narodima.
5 Beholde, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee, shall runne vnto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and the holy one of Israel: for hee hath glorified thee.
Evo, pozvat ćeš narod koji ne poznaješ, i narod koji te ne zna dohrlit će k tebi radi Jahve, Boga tvojega, i Sveca Izraelova, jer on te proslavio.
6 Seeke ye the Lord while he may be found: call ye vpon him while he is neere.
Tražite Jahvu dok se može naći, zovite ga dok je blizu!
7 Let the wicked forsake his wayes, and the vnrighteous his owne imaginations, and returne vnto the Lord, and he wil haue mercy vpon him: and to our God, for hee is very ready to forgiue.
Nek' bezbožnik put svoj ostavi, a zlikovac naume svoje. Nek' se vrati Gospodu, koji će mu se smilovati, k Bogu našem jer je velikodušan u praštanju.
8 For my thoughtes are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, sayth the Lord.
“Jer misli vaše nisu moje misli i puti moji nisu vaši puti,” riječ je Jahvina.
9 For as ye heauens are higher then the earth, so are my wayes higher then your wayes, and my thoughtes aboue your thoughts.
“Visoko je iznad zemlje nebo, tako su puti moji iznad vaših putova, i misli moje iznad vaših misli.”
10 Surely as the raine commeth downe and the snow from heauen, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth and maketh it to bring forth and bud, that it may giue seede to the sower, and bread vnto him that eateth,
“Kao što daždi i sniježi s neba bez prestanka dok se zemlja ne natopi, oplodi i ozeleni da bi dala sjeme sijaču i kruha za jelo,
11 So shall my worde be, that goeth out of my mouth: it shall not returne vnto me voyde, but it shall accomplish that which I will, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
tako se riječ koja iz mojih usta izlazi ne vraća k meni bez ploda, nego čini ono što sam htio i obistinjuje ono zbog čega je poslah.”
12 Therefore ye shall go out with ioy, and be led forth with peace: the mountaines and the hilles shall breake foorth before you into ioye, and all the trees of the fielde shall clap their handes.
Da, s radošću ćete otići i u miru ćete biti vođeni. Gore će i brda klicati od radosti pred vama i sva će stabla u polju pljeskati.
13 For thornes there shall grow firre trees: for nettles shall growe the myrrhe tree, and it shalbe to the Lord for a name, and for an euerlasting signe that shall not be taken away.
Umjesto trnja rast će čempresi, umjesto koprive mirta će nicati. I bit će to Jahvi na slavu, kao znak vječan, neprolazan.
