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.
“Kígbe rẹ̀ sókè, má ṣe fàsẹ́yìn. Gbé ohùn rẹ sókè bí i ti fèrè. Jẹ́ kí ó di mí mọ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn mi, ọ̀tẹ̀ wọn, àti fún ilé Jakọbu ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
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.

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.
Wọ́n wí pé, ‘Èéṣe tí àwa fi ń gbààwẹ̀, tí ìwọ kò sì tí ì rí? Èéṣe tí àwa fi rẹra wa sílẹ̀, tí ìwọ kò sì tí ì ṣe àkíyèsí?’ “Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ àwẹ̀ yín, ẹ̀yin ń ṣe bí ó ti wù yín ẹ sì ń pọ́n àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ yín gbogbo lójú.
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.
Àwẹ̀ yín sì parí nínú ìjà àti asọ̀, àti lílu ọmọnìkejì ẹni pa pẹ̀lú ìkùùkuu. Ẹ̀yin kò le è gbààwẹ̀ bí ẹ ti ń ṣe lónìí kí ẹ sì retí kí a gbọ́ ohùn un yín ní ibi gíga.
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?
Ǹjẹ́ èyí ha ni irú àwẹ̀ tí mo yàn bí, ọjọ́ kan ṣoṣo fún ènìyàn láti rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀? Ó ha jẹ pe kí ènìyàn tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba bí i koríko lásán ni bí àti sísùn nínú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ àti eérú? Ṣé ohun tí ẹ̀ ń pè ní àwẹ̀ nìyí, ọjọ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà fún Olúwa?
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.
“Ǹjẹ́ irú àwẹ̀ tí mo ti yàn kọ́ ni èyí: láti já gbogbo ẹ̀wọ̀n àìṣòdodo àti láti tú gbogbo okùn àjàgà, láti tú gbogbo àwọn ti à ń ni lára sílẹ̀ àti láti fọ́ gbogbo àjàgà?
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.
Kì í ha á ṣe láti pín oúnjẹ yín fún àwọn tí ebi ń pa àti láti pèsè ibùgbé fún àwọn òtòṣì tí ń rìn káàkiri. Nígbà tí ẹ bá rí ẹni tí ó wà níhòhò, láti daṣọ bò ó, àti láti má ṣe lé àwọn ìbátan yín sẹ́yìn?
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.

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.
Nígbà yìí ni ẹ̀yin yóò pè, tí Olúwa yóò sì dáhùn; ẹ̀yin yóò kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, òun yóò sì wí pé, Èmi nìyí. “Bí ìwọ bá mú àjàgà aninilára, nínà ìka àlébù àti sísọ ọ̀rọ̀ asán kúrò láàrín rẹ,
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.

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.

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.

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,
“Bí ìwọ bá pa ẹsẹ̀ rẹ mọ́ kúrò nínú bíba ọjọ́ ìsinmi jẹ́, àti ṣíṣe bí ó ti wù ọ́ ni ọjọ́ mímọ́ mi, bí ìwọ bá pe ọjọ́ ìsinmi ní ohun dídùn àti ọjọ́ mímọ́ Olúwa ní ohun ọ̀wọ̀ àti bí ìwọ bá bu ọlá fún un láti máa bá ọ̀nà tìrẹ lọ àti láti má ṣe bí ó ti wù ọ́ tàbí kí o máa sọ̀rọ̀ aláìníláárí,
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.
