Isaiah 55

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
"O svi vi koji ste žedni, dođite na vodu; ako novaca i nemate, dođite. Bez novaca i bez naplate kupite vina i mlijeka!
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
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.
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Priklonite uho i k meni dođite, poslušajte, i duša će vam živjeti. Sklopit ću s vama Savez vječan, Savez milosti Davidu obećanih."
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
Evo, učinih te svjedokom pucima, knezom i zapovjednikom narodima.
Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he 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.
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Tražite Jahvu dok se može naći, zovite ga dok je blizu!
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
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.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
"Jer misli vaše nisu moje misli i puti moji nisu vaši puti," riječ je Jahvina.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
"Visoko je iznad zemlje nebo, tako su puti moji iznad vaših putova, i misli moje iznad vaših misli."
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
"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,
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, 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."
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
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.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Umjesto trnja rast će čempresi, umjesto koprive mirta će nicati. I bit će to Jahvi na slavu, kao znak vječan, neprolazan.
