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.
Vièi iz grla, ne usteži se, podigni glas svoj kao truba, i objavi narodu mojemu bezakonja njegova i domu Jakovljevu grijehe njihove,
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:
Premda me svaki dan traže i radi su znati putove moje, kao narod koji tvori pravdu i ne ostavlja suda Boga svojega; ištu od mene sudove pravedne, žele približiti se k Bogu.
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 postismo, vele, a ti ne pogleda, muèismo duše svoje, a ti ne htje znati? Gle, kad postite, èinite svoju volju i izgonite sve što vam je ko dužan.
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.
Eto postite da se prete i svaðate i da bijete pesnicom bezbožno. Nemojte postiti tako kao danas, da bi se èuo gore glas vaš.
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?
Taki li je post koji izabrah da èovjek muèi dušu svoju jedan dan? da savija glavu svoju kao sita i da stere poda se kostrijet i pepeo? To li æeš zvati post i dan ugodan Gospodu?
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?
A nije li ovo post što izabrah: da razvežeš sveze bezbožnosti, da razdriješiš remenje od bremena, da otpustiš potlaèene, i da izlomite svaki jaram?
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?
Nije li da prelamaš hljeb svoj gladnome, i siromahe prognane da uvedeš u kuæu? kad vidiš gola, da ga odjeneš, i da se ne kriješ od svoga tijela?
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.
Tada æe sinuti vidjelo tvoje kao zora, i zdravlje æe tvoje brzo procvasti, i pred tobom æe iæi pravda tvoja, slava Gospodnja biæe ti zadnja straža.
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,
Tada æeš prizivati, i Gospod æe te èuti: vikaæeš, i reæi æe: evo me. Ako izbaciš izmeðu sebe jaram i prestaneš pružati prst i govoriti zlo;
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;
I ako otvoriš dušu svoju gladnome, i nasitiš dušu nevoljnu; tada æe zasjati u mraku vidjelo tvoje i tama æe tvoja biti kao podne.
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.
Jer æe te Gospod voditi vazda, i sitiæe dušu tvoju na suši, i kosti tvoje krijepiæe, i biæeš kao vrt zaliven i kao izvor kojemu voda ne presiše.
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 tvoji æe sazidati stare pustoline, i podignuæeš temelje koji æe stajati od koljena do koljena, i prozvaæeš se: koji sazida razvaline i opravi putove za naselje.
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;
Ako odvratiš nogu svoju od subote da ne èiniš što je tebi drago na moj sveti dan, i ako prozoveš subotu milinom, sveti dan Gospodnji slavnijem, i budeš ga slavio ne iduæi svojim putovima i ne èineæi što je tebi drago, ni govoreæi rijeèi,
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.
Tada æeš se veseliti u Gospodu, i izvešæu te na visine zemaljske, i daæu ti da jedeš našljedstvo Jakova oca svojega; jer usta Gospodnja rekoše.
