< Isaiah 58 >

1 “Cry aloud! Don’t spare! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Declare to my people their disobedience, 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 did righteousness, and didn’t forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgements. They delight to draw near 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 ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you don’t see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you don’t notice?’ “Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your labourers.
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, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You don’t fast today so as to make 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 this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
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 “Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you 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 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?
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 your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and the LORD’s glory will be your rear guard.
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 you will call, and the LORD will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from amongst you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;
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 if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;
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 the LORD will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.
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 Those who will be of you will build the old waste places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.
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 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 honourable, and honour it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own 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 you will 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 LORD’s mouth has spoken it.
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.
