Izaija 58
1 Viči iz sveg grla, ne suspeži se! Glas svoj poput roga podigni. Objavi mom narodu njegove zločine, domu Jakovljevu grijehe njegove.
"Cry aloud, do not spare, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Dan za danom oni mene traže i žele znati moje putove, kao narod koji vrši pravdu i ne zaboravlja pravo Boga svoga. Od mene ištu pravedne sudove i žude da im se Bog približi:
Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God.
3 “Zašto postimo ako ti ne vidiš, zašto se trapimo ako ti ne znaš?” Gle, u dan kad postite poslove nalazite i na posao gonite radnike svoje.
'Why have we fasted,' say they, 'and you do not see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge?' "Look, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors.
4 Gle, vi postite da se prepirete i svađate i da pesnicom bijete siromahe. Ne postite više kao danas, i čut će vam se glas u visini!
Look, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: you do not fast this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Zar je meni takav post po volji u dan kad se čovjek trapi? Spuštati kao rogoz glavu k zemlji, sterati poda se kostrijet i pepeo, hoćeš li to zvati postom i danom ugodnim Jahvi?
Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 Ovo je post koji mi je po volji, riječ je Jahve Gospoda: Kidati okove nepravedne, razvezivat' spone jarmene, puštati na slobodu potlačene, slomiti sve jarmove;
"Isn't this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
7 podijeliti kruh svoj s gladnima, uvesti pod krov svoj beskućnike, odjenuti onog koga vidiš gola i ne kriti se od onog tko je tvoje krvi.
Isn't it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Tad će sinut' poput zore tvoja svjetlost, i zdravlje će tvoje brzo procvasti. Pred tobom će ići tvoja pravda, a Slava Jahvina bit će ti zalaznicom.
Then your light shall break forth as the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
9 Vikneš li, Jahve će ti odgovorit, kad zavapiš, reći će: “Evo me!” Ukloniš li iz svoje sredine jaram, ispružen prst i besjedu bezbožnu,
Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, 'Here I am.' "If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;
10 dadeš li kruha gladnome, nasitiš li potlačenog, tvoja će svjetlost zasjati u tmini i tama će tvoja kao podne postati,
and if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light shall rise in darkness, and your obscurity be as the noonday;
11 Jahve će te vodit' bez prestanka, sitit će te u sušnim krajevima. On će krijepit' kosti tvoje i bit ćeš kao vrt zaljeven, kao studenac kojem voda nikad ne presuši.
and the LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
12 I ti ćeš gradit' na starim razvalinama, dići ćeš temelje budućih koljena. Zvat će te popravljačem pukotina i obnoviteljem cesta do naselja.
Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 Zadržiš li nogu da ne pogaziš subotu i u sveti dan ne obavljaš poslove; nazoveš li subotu milinom a časnim dan Jahvi posvećen; častiš li ga odustajuć' od puta, bavljenja poslom i pregovaranja -
"If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of the LORD honorable; and shall honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
14 tad ćeš u Jahvi svoju milinu naći, i ja ću te provesti po zemaljskim visovima, dat ću ti da uživaš u baštini oca tvog Jakova, jer Jahvina su usta govorila.
then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father:" for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
