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! Don’t spare! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

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.

Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and didn’t forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments. They delight 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.

‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you don’t see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you don’t notice?’ “Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your laborers.

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.

Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You don’t fast today so as to make your voice to be heard on high.

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?

Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh?

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?

“Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

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?

Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?

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 your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.

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 you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

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 pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;

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 Yahweh will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.

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.

Those who will be of you will build the old waste places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.

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, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of Yahweh honorable, and honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,

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 you will delight yourself in Yahweh, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.
