Isaiah 58
1 “Cry loudly; do not hold back. Lift up your voice like a trumpet. Confront my people with their rebellion, and the house of Jacob with their sins.
¡Proclama a voz en cuello, no te detengas! ¡Alza tu voz como una trompeta! Denuncia su rebelión a mi pueblo, sus pecados a la casa de Jacob,
2 Yet they seek me daily and delight in the knowledge of my ways, like a nation that practiced righteousness and did not abandon the law of their God. They ask me for righteous judgments; they take pleasure in the thought of God coming near.
quienes me buscan cada día y quieren saber mis caminos, como [si fuera] un pueblo que practicó justicia y que no abandonó la Ordenanza de su ʼElohim. Me piden decisiones justas. Se complacen en la cercanía de ʼElohim.
3 'Why have we fasted,' they say, 'but you do not see it? Why have we humbled ourselves, but you do not notice?' Look, on the day of your fast you find your own pleasure and oppress all your laborers.
Dicen: ¿Para qué ayunamos, si no haces caso? ¿Humillamos nuestras almas, si no te das por entendido? Ciertamente en el día de ayuno buscan su propio deseo y oprimen a todos sus trabajadores.
4 Look, you fast to quarrel and fight, and to hit with your fist of wickedness; you do not fast today to make your voice heard above.
Ciertamente, ayunan para contiendas y debates, para herir con el puño inicuamente. No ayunen como hoy, si quieren que su voz sea escuchada en lo alto.
5 Is this really the kind of fast that I would want: A day for anybody to humble himself, for him to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Do you really call this a fast, a day that pleases Yahweh?
¿Es éste el ayuno que Yo escogí, que el hombre aflija su alma de día, que incline la cabeza como un junco y se acueste sobre tela áspera y ceniza? ¿Llamarán a eso ayuno, es decir, día agradable a Yavé?
6 Is not this the fast that I choose: To release wicked bonds, to undo the ropes of the yoke, to set the crushed ones free, and to break every yoke?
¿El ayuno que Yo escogí no es más bien desatar las ligaduras de maldad, soltar las cargas de opresión, dejar ir libres a los quebrantados y que rompan todo yugo?
7 Is it not to break your bread with the hungry and to bring the poor and homeless into your house?” When you see someone naked, you should clothe him; and you should not hide yourself from your own relatives.
¿No es que compartas tu pan con el hambriento y albergues en casa a los pobres errantes, que cuando veas al desnudo, lo cubras, y no te escondas de tu hermano?
8 Then your light would be broken open like the sunrise, and your healing would quickly sprout up; your righteousness would go before you, and the glory of Yahweh would be your rearguard.
Entonces tu luz nacerá como el alba y tu recuperación brotará pronto. Tu justicia irá delante de ti y la gloria de Yavé será tu retaguardia.
9 Then you would call, and Yahweh would answer; you would cry out for help, and he would say, “Here I am.” If you take away from among yourselves the yoke, the accusing finger, and the speech of wickedness,
Entonces invocarás, y Yavé te escuchará. Clamarás, y Él dirá: ¡Aquí estoy! Si quitas de en medio de ti el yugo, el dedo amenazador y el hablar perversidad,
10 if you yourselves provide for the hungry and satisfy the need of the distressed; then your light will rise in the darkness, and your darkness will be like the noonday.
si tu alma provee para el hambriento y sacias al alma afligida, tu luz irradiará en la tenebrosidad y tu oscuridad será como el mediodía.
11 Then Yahweh will lead you continually and satisfy you in regions where there is no water, and he will strengthen your bones. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.
Yavé te pastoreará siempre. Tu alma se saciará en las sequías y dará vigor a tus huesos. Serás un huerto bien regado, como manantial de agua que nunca falta.
12 Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the ruins of many generations; you will be called “The repairer of the wall,” “The restorer of streets to live on.”
Los tuyos reedificarán las ruinas antiguas. Levantarán los cimientos de muchas generaciones que estaban destruidos y serás llamado reparador de brechas, restaurador de calzadas para descansar.
13 Suppose that you turn back your feet from traveling on the Sabbath day, and from doing your own pleasure on my holy day. Suppose that you call the Sabbath a delight, and that you call the matters of Yahweh holy and honored. Suppose that you honor the Sabbath by leaving your own business, and by not finding your own pleasure and by not speaking your own words.
Si detienes tu pie en el sábado para no hacer lo que te plazca en mi día santo, si llamas al sábado tu delicia, Santo, glorioso de Yavé, y lo honras, sin seguir en tus propios caminos, ni buscar tu placer, ni hablar tus propias palabras,
14 “Then you will find delight in Yahweh; and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you from the inheritance of Jacob your father—for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
entonces te deleitarás en Yavé. Te subiré sobre las alturas de la tierra y te alimentaré con la herencia de tu padre Jacob. Porque habló la boca de Yavé.
