Isaiah 58
1 Make a loud cry, do not be quiet, let your voice be sounding like a horn, and make clear to my people their evil doings, and to the family of Jacob their sins.
Vpij naglas, ne brzdaj se, svoj glas povzdigni kakor šofar in mojemu ljudstvu pokaži njihov prestopek in Jakobovi hiši njihove grehe.
2 Though they make prayer to me every day, and take pleasure in the knowledge of my ways: like a nation which has done righteousness, and has not given up the rules of their God, they make requests to me for the right orders, it is their delight to come near to God.
Vendar me dnevno iščejo in se veselijo spoznati moje poti kakor narod, ki je ravnal pravično in ni zapustil odredbe svojega Boga. Sprašujejo me odredbe o pravici, razveseljujejo se v približevanju Bogu.
3 They say, Why have we kept ourselves from food, and you do not see it? why have we kept ourselves from pleasure, and you take no note of it? If, in the days when you keep from food, you take the chance to do your business, and get in your debts;
›Zakaj smo se postili, ‹ pravijo ›ti pa ne vidiš? Zakaj smo mučili svojo dušo, ti pa se za to ne meniš?‹ Glejte, na dan svojega posta si najdete užitek in priganjate vse svoje delavce.
4 If keeping from food makes you quickly angry, ready for fighting and giving blows with evil hands; your holy days are not such as to make your voice come to my ears on high.
Glejte, postite se za prepir in razpravljanje in da udarjate s pestjo zlobnosti. Ne boste se postili, kakor delate ta dan, da bi svojemu glasu dali, da se sliši na višavi.
5 Have I given orders for such a day as this? a day for keeping yourselves from pleasure? is it only a question of the bent head, of putting on haircloth, and being seated in the dust? is this what seems to you a holy day, well-pleasing to the Lord?
Mar je to takšen post, ki sem ga izbral? Dan za človeka, da muči svojo dušo? Ali je to, da skloni svojo glavo kakor ločje in pod seboj razširja vrečevino in pepel? Mar boš to imenoval post in sprejemljiv dan Gospodu?
6 Is not this the holy day for which I have given orders: to let loose those who have wrongly been made prisoners, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the crushed go free, and every yoke be broken?
Mar ni to post, ki sem ga izbral? Da razvežeš vezi zlobnosti, da odstraniš težka bremena in da izpustiš zatirane prosto oditi in da zlomiš vsak jarem?
7 Is it not to give your bread to those in need, and to let the poor who have no resting-place come into your house? to put a robe on the unclothed one when you see him, and not to keep your eyes shut for fear of seeing his flesh?
Mar ni to, da deliš svoj kruh lačnemu in da privedeš revne, ki so izobčeni, k svoji hiši? Ko vidiš nagega, da ga pokriješ in da se ne skrivaš pred svojim lastnim mesom?
8 Then will light be shining on you like the morning, and your wounds will quickly be well: and your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will come after you.
Potem bo tvoja svetloba izbruhnila kakor jutro in tvoje zdravje bo naglo vzbrstelo in tvoja pravičnost bo šla pred teboj, Gospodova slava bo tvoja zadnja straža.
9 Then at the sound of your voice, the Lord will give an answer; at your cry he will say, Here am I. If you take away from among you the yoke, the putting out of the finger of shame, and the evil word;
Potem boš klical in Gospod bo odgovoril; vpil boš in rekel bo: ›Tukaj sem.‹ Če odstraniš jarem iz svoje srede, kazanje s prstom in govorjenje ničnosti
10 And if you give your bread to those in need of it, so that the troubled one may have his desire; then you will have light in the dark, and your night will be as the full light of the sun:
in če svojo dušo iztezaš k lačnemu in zadovoljiš trpečo dušo, potem bo v nejasnosti vstala tvoja svetloba in tvoja tema bo kakor poldan.
11 And the Lord will be your guide at all times; in dry places he will give you water in full measure, and will make strong your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like an ever-flowing spring.
Gospod te bo nenehno usmerjal in tvojo dušo zadovoljil v suši in tvoje kosti odebelil. In ti boš kakor namakan vrt in podoben boš vodnemu izviru, katerega vode ne usahnejo.
12 And your sons will be building again the old waste places: you will make strong the bases of old generations: and you will be named, He who puts up the broken walls, and, He who makes ready the ways for use.
Tisti, ki bodo od tebe, bodo gradili stare opustošene kraje. Vzdignil boš temelje mnogih rodov in imenovan boš: ›Popravljavec vrzeli, obnovitelj steza za prebivanje.‹
13 If you keep the Sabbath with care, not doing your business on my holy day; and if the Sabbath seems to you a delight, and the new moon of the Lord a thing to be honoured; and if you give respect to him by not doing your business, or going after your pleasure, or saying unholy words;
Če odvrneš svoje stopalo pred šabat, pred tem, da počneš svoje zadovoljstvo na moj sveti dan in imenuješ šabat veselje, [dan] svet Gospodu, častitljiv in ga boš častil in ne izvajal svojih lastnih poti niti iskal svojega lastnega zadovoljstva niti govoril svojih lastnih besed,
14 Then the Lord will be your delight; and I will put you on the high places of the earth; and I will give you the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has said it.
potem se boš veselil v Gospodu in povzročil ti bom, da jezdiš na visokih krajih zemlje in te hranil z dediščino svojega očeta Jakoba, kajti Gospodova usta so to govorila.‹«
