< 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 aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and 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!
Yet 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.
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.
Wherefore 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.
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, 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.
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 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?
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 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?
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.
Is 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?
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 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.
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 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;
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.
And 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 noonday:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 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.
