Isaiah 58

1 Call out with a throat may not you refrain like trumpet raise voice your and declare to people my transgression their and to [the] house of Jacob sins their.

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.

2 And me day day they seek! and [the] knowledge of ways my they desire! like a nation which righteousness it has done and [the] judgment of God its not it has forsaken they ask me judgments of righteousness [the] approach of God they desire!

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 not you have seen have we humbled? self our and not you know there! on [the] day of fasting your you find pleasure and all laborers your you drive hard.

“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.

4 There! for strife and contention you fast and to strike with a fist of wickedness not you fast like this day to make heard in the height[s] voice your.

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.

5 ¿ Like this is it [the] fast [which] I choose it a day to humble anyone self his ¿ to bend down like a bulrush head his and sackcloth and ash[es] he spreads as a bed ¿ this do you call a fast and a day of acceptance to Yahweh.

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?

6 ¿ Not [is] this [the] fast [which] I choose it to loosen [the] bonds of wickedness to unfasten [the] bindings of [the] yoke-bar and to let go crushed [people] free [people] and every yoke-bar you will tear apart.

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.

7 ¿ Not [is it] to break for the hungry [person] bread your and poor [people] homeless people you will bring a house if you will see [the] naked and you will cover him and from own flesh your not you will hide yourself.

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.

8 Then it will break forth like the dawn light your and healing your quickly it will spring up and it will go before you righteousness your [the] glory of Yahweh it will be rearguard your.

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 Yahweh he will answer you will cry for help and he may say here [am] I if you will remove from among you [the] yoke-bar [the] stretching out of a finger and [the] speaking of wickedness.

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.

10 And you will offer to the hungry [person] self your and [the] appetite of [the] afflicted you will satisfy and it will rise in the darkness light your and gloom your [will be] like the noon.

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 he will lead you Yahweh continually and he will satisfy in arid regions appetite your and bones your he will strengthen and you will be like a garden watered and like a spring of waters which not they will fail waters its.

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 they will rebuild some of you [the] ruins of antiquity [the] foundations of a generation and a generation you will raise up and it will be called to you [one who] walls up a breach [one who] restores paths to dwell in.

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 will turn back from [the] sabbath foot your to do pleasures your on [the] day of holiness my and you will call the sabbath a delight [the] holy [day] of Yahweh honorable and you will honor it from doing own ways your from finding pleasure your and to speak a word.

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,

14 Then you will take delight on Yahweh and I will make ride you on ([the] high places of *Q(k)*) [the] land and I will feed you [the] inheritance of Jacob ancestor your for [the] mouth of Yahweh it has spoken.

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.
