Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
Viči iz sveg grla, ne suspeži se! Glas svoj poput roga podigni. Objavi mom narodu njegove zločine, domu Jakovljevu grijehe njegove.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that doeth righteousness, and hath not forsaken the ordinance of their God; they ask of me the ordinances of righteousness, they take delight in approaching to God:
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:
3 — Wherefore have we fasted, and thou seest not; have afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find what pleaseth [you], and exact all your labours.
“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.
4 Behold, ye have fasted for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness; ye do not at present fast, to cause your voice to be heard on high.
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!
5 Is such the fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul, — that he should bow down his head as a bulrush, and spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? Wilt thou call this a fast, and a day acceptable to Jehovah?
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?
6 Is not this the fast which I have chosen: to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, and to send forth free the crushed, and that ye break every yoke?
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;
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring to thy house the needy wanderers; when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
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.
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the dawn, and thy health shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of Jehovah shall be thy rearguard.
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.
9 Then shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger and the unjust speech,
Vikneš li, Jahve će ti odgovorit, kad zavapiš, reći će: “Evo me!” Ukloniš li iz svoje sredine jaram, ispružen prst i besjedu bezbožnu,
10 and thou proffer thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in the darkness, and thine obscurity be as midday;
dadeš li kruha gladnome, nasitiš li potlačenog, tvoja će svjetlost zasjati u tmini i tama će tvoja kao podne postati,
11 and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and strengthen thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a water-spring, whose waters deceive not.
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.
12 And they [that come] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations [that have remained] from generation to generation; and thou shalt be called, Repairer of the breaches, restorer of frequented paths.
I ti ćeš gradit' na starim razvalinama, dići ćeš temelje budućih koljena. Zvat će te popravljačem pukotina i obnoviteljem cesta do naselja.
13 If thou turn back thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy [day] of Jehovah, honourable; and thou honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [idle] words;
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 -
14 then shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah, and I will cause thee to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
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.
