Isaiah 58
1 Cry out! Cease not! Exalt your voice like a trumpet, and announce to my people their wicked acts, 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 For they also seek me, from day to day, and they are willing to know my ways, like a nation which has done justice and has not abandoned the judgment of their God. They petition me for judgments of justice. They are willing 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, and you have not taken notice? Why have we humbled our souls, and you have not acknowledged it?” Behold, in the day of your fasting, your own will is found, and you petition for payment from all your debtors.
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 with strife and contention, and you strike with the fist impiously. Do not choose to fast as you have done even to this day. Then your outcry will 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 a fast such as I have chosen: for a man to afflict his soul for a day, to contort his head in a circle, and to spread sackcloth and ashes? Should you call this a fast and a day acceptable 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 Is not this, instead, the kind of fast that I have chosen? Release the constraints of impiety; relieve the burdens that oppress; freely forgive those who are broken; and break apart every burden.
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 Break your bread with the hungry, and lead the destitute and the homeless into your house. When you see someone naked, cover him, and do not despise 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 forth like the morning, and your health will improve quickly, and your justice will go before your face, and the glory of the Lord will gather you up.
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 heed; you will cry out, and he will say, “Here I am,” if you take away the chains from your midst, and cease to point your finger and to speak what is not beneficial.
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 When you pour out your life for the hungry, and you satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise up in darkness, and your darkness will be like the 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 the Lord will give you rest continually, and he will fill your soul with splendor, and he will free your bones, and you will be like a watered garden and like a fountain of water whose waters will not 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 And places that have been desolate for ages will be built up by you. You will raise a foundation for generation after generation. And you will be called the repairer of hedges, who turns the roadways into quiet places.
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 restrain your foot on the Sabbath, from doing your own will on my holy day, and if you call the Sabbath delightful, and the Holy of the Lord glorious, and if you glorify him, while you do not act according to your own ways, and your own will is not found, not even to speak a word,
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 find delight in the Lord, and I will take you up, above the heights of the earth, and I will nourish you with the inheritance of Jacob, your father. For the mouth of the Lord has 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.
