< Isaiah 58 >

1 Crye thou, ceesse thou not; as a trumpe enhaunse thi vois, and schewe thou to my puple her grete trespassis, and to the hous of Jacob her synnes.
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.
2 For thei seken me fro dai in to dai, and thei wolen knowe my weies; as a folk, that hath do riytfulnesse, and that hath not forsake the doom of her God; thei preien me domes of riytfulnesse, and wolen neiy to God.
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!
3 Whi fastiden we, and thou biheldist not; we mekiden oure soulis, and thou knewist not? Lo! youre wille is foundun in the dai of youre fastyng, and ye axen alle youre dettouris.
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.
4 Lo! ye fasten to chidyngis and stryuyngis, and smyten with the fist wickidli. Nyl ye fast, as `til to this dai, that youre cry be herd an hiy.
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.
5 Whether sich is the fastyng which Y chees, a man to turmente his soule bi dai? whether to bynde his heed as a sercle, and to make redi a sak and aische? Whethir thou schalt clepe this a fastyng, and a dai acceptable to the Lord?
¿ 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.
6 Whether not this is more the fastyng, which Y chees? Vnbynde thou the byndingis togidere of vnpitee, releesse thou birthuns pressynge doun; delyuere thou hem free, that ben brokun, and breke thou ech birthun.
¿ 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.
7 Breke thi breed to an hungri man, and brynge in to thin hous nedi men and herborles; whanne thou seest a nakid man, hile thou hym, and dispise not thi fleisch.
¿ 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.
8 Thanne thi liyt schal breke out as the morewtid, and thin helthe schal rise ful soone; and thi riytfulnesse schal go bifore thi face, and the glorie of the Lord schal gadere thee.
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.
9 Thanne thou schalt clepe to help, and the Lord schal here; thou schalt crie, and he schal seie, Lo! Y am present, for Y am merciful, thi Lord God. If thou takist awei a chayne fro the myddis of thee, and ceessist to holde forth the fyngur, and to speke that profitith not;
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.
10 whanne thou schedist out thi soule to an hungri man, and fillist a soule, `that is turmentid, thi liyt schal rise in derknessis, and thi derknessis schulen be as myddai.
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.
11 And the Lord thi God schal yyue euere reste to thee, and schal fille thi soule with schynyngis, and schal delyuere thi boonys; and thou schalt be as a watri gardyn, and as a welle of watris, whose waters schulen not faile.
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.
12 And the forsakun thingis of worldis schulen be bildid in thee, and thou schalt reise the foundementis of generacioun and generacioun; and thou schalt be clepid a bildere of heggis, turnynge awei the pathis of wickidnessis.
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.
13 If thou turnest awei thi foot fro the sabat, to do thi wille in myn hooli dai, and clepist the sabat delicat, and hooli, the gloriouse of the Lord, and glorifiest him, while thou doist not thi weies, and thi wille is not foundun, that thou speke a word;
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.
14 thanne thou schalt delite on the Lord, and Y schal reise thee on the hiynesse of erthe, and Y schal fede thee with the eritage of Jacob, thi fadir; for whi the mouth of the Lord spak.
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.
