Isaia 58

1 Ezaho ny fiantsonao, fa aza atao malemy, Asandrato ny feonao ho tahaka ny an’ ny anjomara, ka ambarao amin’ ny oloko ny fahadisoany Ary amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba ny fahotany;

Cry aloud, and spare not; lift up your voice as with a trumpet, and declare to my people their sins, and to the house of Jacob their iniquities.

2 Nefa Izaho mbola tadiaviny ihany isan’ andro isan’ andro, ary ny hahalala ny lalako no sitrany. Tahaka ny firenena efa nanao ny marina ka tsy nahafoy ny fitsipik’ Andriamaniny no fanontaniany amiko ny fitsipiky ny fahamarinana, sy aniriany ny hihavian’ Andriamanitra.

They seek me day by day, and desire to know my ways, as a people that had done righteousness, and had not forsaken the judgment of their God: they now ask of me righteous judgment, and desire to draw near to God,

3 Nahoana izahay no mifady, hoy izy, nefa tsy hitanao? Ary nahoana izahay no mampahory ny tenanay, nefa tsy ahoanao? Indro fa amin’ ny andro fifadianareo aza dia mbola ny tianareo ihany no ataonareo, ary ny mpiasa rehetra ao aminareo dia ampahorinareo.

saying, Why have we fasted, and you regard not? [why] have we afflicted our souls, and you did not know it? Nay, in the days of your fasts you find your pleasures, and all them that are under your power you wound.

4 Indro, ny hiady sy ny hifanditra no anton’ ny ifadianareo ary ny hamely amin’ ny totohondrin’ ny faharatsiana; Izao fifadianareo izao dia tsy andrenesana ny feonareo any amin’ ny avo.

If you fast for quarrels and strifes, and strike the lowly with [your] fists, therefore do you fast to me as [you do] this day, so that your voice may be heard in crying?

5 Moa fifadiana toy izany va no ankasitrahako? Dia andro hampahorian’ ny olona tena? Ny hampiondrika ny lohany tahaka ny zozoro sy ny hamelatra lamba fisaonana rarahan-davenona ho fandriany, moa izany va no ataonao hoe fifadiana sy andro ankasitrahan’ i Jehovah?

I have not chosen this fast, nor [such] a day for a man to afflict his soul; neither though you should bend down your neck as a ring, and spread under you sackcloth and ashes, neither thus shall you call a fast acceptable.

6 Tsy izao va no fifadiana izay ankasitrahako: Dia ny hamaha ny famatoran’ ny faharatsiana, sy hanaboraka ny fehin’ ny zioga, sy handefa ny ampahorina ho afaka, ary hanapatapaka ny zioga rehetra?

I have not chosen such a fast, says the Lord; but do you loose every burden of iniquity, do you untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account.

7 Moa tsy ny hizara ny mofonao ho an’ ny noana va, sy ny hampiantrano ny ory manjenjena, ary mba hanafianao izay hitanao mitanjaka, ka tsy hihirim-belona amin’ ny namanao ianao?

Break your bread to the hungry, and lead the unsheltered poor to your house: if you see one naked, clothe [him], and you shall not disregard the relations of your own seed.

8 Fa raha izany, dia hiposaka tahaka ny fahazavan’ ny maraina ny fahazavanao, ary ho tonga faingana ny fahasitrananao; ny fahamarinanao ho loha-lalanao, ary ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah ho vodi-lalanao

Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall speedily spring forth: and your righteousness shall go before you, and the glory of God shall compass you.

9 Ary amin’ izany dia hiantso ianao, ary Jehovah hamaly; Eny, hanandratra ny feonao ianao, ary Izy hanao hoe: Inty Aho. Raha esorinao tsy ho eo aminao ny zioga sy ny fanondroan’ ny fanondro sy ny fitenenan-dratsy,

Then shall you cry, and God shall listen to you; while you are yet speaking he will say, Behold, I am here. If you remove from you the band, and the stretching forth of the hands, and murmuring speech;

10 Ary afoinao ho an’ ny noana izay hanina tianao, ka mahavoky ny ory ianao, dia hiposaka ao amin’ ny maizina ny fahazavanao, ary ny aizim-pitonao ho tahaka ny mitataovovonana;

and [if] you give bread to the hungry from your heart, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light spring up in darkness, and your darkness [shall be] as noon-day:

11 Ary Jehovah hitari-dalana anao mandrakariva sady hahavoky ny fanahinao ao amin’ ny tany karankaina aza sy hampahatanjaka ny taolanao; dia ho tahaka ny saha vonton-drano ianao sy ho tahaka ny loharanao miboiboika izay tsy mety ritra.

and your God shall be with you continually, and you shall be satisfied according as your soul desires; and your bones shall be made fat, and shall be as a well-watered garden, and as a fountain [from] which the water has not failed.

12 Ary izay taranakao no hanangana ny efa rava ela, ary ny naorina hatry ny fony fahagola no hamboarinao; ary ianao dia hatao hoe mpamboatra ny rava, mpamelon-dalana honenana amin’ ny tany.

And your old waste desert [places] shall be built up, and your foundations shall last through all generations; and you shall be called a repairer of breaches, and you shall cause your paths between to be in peace.

13 Raha miaro ny tongotrao amin’ ny Sabata ianao ka tsy manao izay tianao amin’ ny androko masìna, ary manao ny Sabata hoe Fahafinaretana, ary ny nohamasinin’ i Jehovah hoe mendrika hohajaina, ka manome voninahitra azy ary tsy mandeha amin’ ny lalanao, na manao izay tianao, na miteniteny foana,

If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, so as not to do your pleasure on the holy days, and shall call the sabbaths delightful, holy to God; [if] you shall not lift up your foot to work, nor speak a word in anger out of your mouth,

14 Dia hiravoravo amin’ i Jehovah ianao, ary hasandratro ao amin’ ny havoana amin’ ny tany ianao, sy hofahanako amin’ ny lovan’ i Jakoba rainao; Fa ny vavan’ i Jehovah no efa niteny.

then shall you trust on the Lord; and he shall bring you up to the good places of the land, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.
