Isaiah 58
1 Give a roar from the throat! Don't hold back! Shout out like a trumpet! Announce to my people how rebellious they are; denounce to the descendants 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 Every day they come to me, pleased to know my ways as if they were a nation that does what is right and follow the laws of their God! They ask me to treat them right; they like to be close to their 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 “Didn't you see that we fasted?” they ask. “Didn't you notice how we denied ourselves?” That's because whenever you fast you still do whatever you want, and you treat your workers badly.
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 Can't you see that when you're fasting you quarrel and argue, and end up having a vicious fist-fight? When you fast like this you can't expect your prayers 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 kind of fast I want when people act out their humility by bowing their heads down like a reed and by lying around in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day the Lord appreciates?
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 No, this is the fast I want: set free those who have been unjustly imprisoned, untie the cords of the yoke used to burden people, set free those who are oppressed, and get rid of every form of abuse.
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 Share your food with the hungry, take the poor and homeless into your house. When you see people naked, give them clothes, and don't reject your own relatives.
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 shine out like the dawn, and you will be healed quickly; your salvation will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will go behind you.
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 when you call, the Lord will answer; when you cry out for help, the Lord will say, “I'm here.” If you get rid of oppression among you, if you stop pointing the finger and slandering others,
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 if you dedicate yourselves to helping the hungry and give the poor what they need, then your light will shine out in the darkness, and your night will be like the sun at noon.
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 The Lord will always lead you; he will give you all you need in you in a desolate land; he will make you strong again. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring that never runs dry.
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 Some among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore generations-old foundations. You will be called the Repairer of the Break in the Wall, the Restorer of Life's Pathways.
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 make sure you don't break the Sabbath by doing whatever you please on my holy day, if you say the Sabbath brings you pleasure and the Lord's day is to be honored, and if you honor it by leaving aside your own ways, by not doing whatever you please, and by avoiding everyday chatting,
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'll find the Lord is the one who truly makes you happy, and I will give you high positions on the earth and give you what I promised to Jacob, your forefather. I, the Lord, have 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.
