Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house 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 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching 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 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and you see not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast all of you find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
›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 Behold, all of you fast for strife and debate, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: all of you shall not fast as all of you do this day, to make your voice to be heard 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 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day 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 fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that all of you break every yoke?
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 deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? when you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you hide not yourself from your own 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 shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily: and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
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 shall you call, and the LORD shall answer; you shall cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting out of the finger, and speaking vanity;
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 draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light rise in obscurity, and your darkness be as the noon day:
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 shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
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 they that 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.
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 turn away your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shall honour him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own 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 shall you delight yourself in the LORD; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken 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.‹«
