¹Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

¹Vpij iz vsega grla, ne prenehaj! kakor tromba povzdigni glas svoj in oznanjaj ljudstvu mojemu njih pregreho in hiši Jakobovi njih grehe!

²Yet 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.

²Iščejo me pač vsak dan in žele znati pota moja kakor narod, ki streže pravičnosti in ni zapustil pravice Boga svojega; vprašujejo me po pravičnih naredbah, žele, da bi se jim Bog približal.

³Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.

³„Zakaj se postimo, in ti ne vidiš? ponižujemo dušo svojo, in se ne zmeniš za to?“ Glejte, tisti dan, ko se postite, iščete, kar vam je v veselje, in pritiskate vse delavce svoje.

⁴Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

⁴Glejte, postite se, da bi se pravdali in prepirali in da bi tepli s krivično pestjo. Ne postite se dandanašnji, da bi se slišal glas vaš na višavi.

⁵Is 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? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

⁵Ali je tak post, kakršnega volim? dan, ko človek muči dušo svojo? Pripogibati kakor bičje glavo svojo in postlati si ležišče z raševnikom in pepelom: ali boš to imenoval post in dan po volji GOSPODU?

⁶Is 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 ye break every yoke?

⁶Ali ni to post, kakršnega volim: da razrešite krivičnosti spone, da snamete sužnji jarem ter oprostite tlačene in razbijete sleherni jarem?

⁷Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

⁷Ne li, da deliš lačnemu kruh svoj in da siromake izgnane pripelješ domov? ko vidiš nagega, da ga pokriješ, in se ne skrivaš pred sorodnim mesom svojim?

⁸Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

⁸Tedaj napoči kakor zarja svetloba tvoja in zdajci zacvete zdravje tvoje, in pred teboj pojde pravičnost tvoja, slava GOSPODOVA bode zadnja straža tvoja.

⁹Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

⁹Tedaj boš klical, in GOSPOD te usliši, vpil boš, in odgovori ti: Glej, tu sem! Ako odpraviš izmed sebe jarem, iztezanje prsta v zasmeh in ničemurno govorjenje,

¹⁰And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:

¹⁰podeliš pa gladnemu iz srca svojega in nasitiš dušo potrto: tedaj prisije v temi svetloba tvoja in temina tvoja postane kakor poldan.

¹¹And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

¹¹In GOSPOD te bo vodil vedno in v najhujši suši ti bo sitil srce in kosti tvoje naredil čile; in bodeš kakor namočen vrt in kakor vrelec vodá, ki se nikdar ne posuše.

¹²And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

¹²In kateri so od tebe, sezidajo stare razvaline: podstave prejšnjih rodov postaviš zopet, in imenoval se boš Zagrajevalec vrzeli, Popravljalec cest v prebivanje.

¹³If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

¹³Če obrneš od sobote nogo svojo, da ne boš delal, kar te veseli, v sveti dan moj, in boš soboto imenoval naslado, sveti dan GOSPODOV častitljiv, in če ga boš častil, ne hodeč po svojih potih, ne delajoč, kar te veseli, in ne govoreč praznih besed:tedaj se boš razveseljeval v GOSPODU, in dam ti, da boš jezdil po višinah zemlje, in storim, da boš užival dediščino Jakoba, očeta svojega; zakaj usta GOSPODOVA so govorila.

¹⁴Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

¹⁴tedaj se boš razveseljeval v GOSPODU, in dam ti, da boš jezdil po višinah zemlje, in storim, da boš užival dediščino Jakoba, očeta svojega; zakaj usta GOSPODOVA so govorila.
