Isaiah 58
1 “Cry aloud! Don’t spare! Lift up your voice like a shofar! Declare to my people their disobedience, 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 did righteousness, and didn’t forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgements. They delight to draw near 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 ‘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 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, 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.
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 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?
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 “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?
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 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?
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 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.
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 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;
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 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;
dadeš li kruha gladnome, nasitiš li potlačenog, tvoja će svjetlost zasjati u tmini i tama će tvoja kao podne postati,
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.
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 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 ti ćeš gradit' na starim razvalinama, dići ćeš temelje budućih koljena. Zvat će te popravljačem pukotina i obnoviteljem cesta do naselja.
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,
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 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.
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.
