Isaías 58
1 Clama a alta voz, no te quedes quieto, alza tu voz que suene como un cuerno, y deja en claro a mi gente sus malas acciones y a la familia de Jacob sus pecados.
[Yahweh said to me], “Shout loudly! Shout like [SIM] a loud trumpet! Shout to warn my Israeli people about their sins [DOU]!
2 Con todo me buscan día tras día, y se complacen en conocer mis caminos; como una nación que ha hecho justicia y no ha renunciado a las reglas de su Dios, me piden leyes justas, es su deleite acercarse a Dios.
They worship me every day; [they come to my temple because they say that] they are eager to know what I want them to do. They act as though they are a nation that does things that are righteous, who would never abandon their God. They request me to decide matters justly, and they delight to come to worship me.
3 Dicen: ¿Para qué ayunar, si tú no lo ves? ¿Por qué nos hemos guardado del placer y no te das cuenta? Si, en los días en que se mantiene alejado de los alimentos, buscan su conveniencia y oprimen a sus obreros;
[They say], ‘We have (fasted/abstained from eating food) to please you, but you did not [RHQ] notice our doing that. We humbled ourselves, but you did not [RHQ] pay any attention!’ I will tell you why I did not pay attention. It is because when you fast, you do it only to please yourselves, and you act cruelly toward all your workers.
4 Ayunan para contiendas y riñas te hace enojar rápidamente, listo para pelear y dar golpes con manos malvadas; no ayunen como hoy, para que tu voz llegue a mis oídos en lo alto.
You fast, but you also quarrel and fight [with each other] with your fists. [Doing things like that while] you fast will [certainly] not cause [me] to hear your prayers [where I am], high in heaven.
5 ¿He dado órdenes para un día como este? ¿Un día para guardarse de placer? ¿Es solo agacharse como una caña, para que se acueste en cilicio y ceniza? ¿Es esto lo que te parece un día santo, agradable al Señor?
You [act as though] [IRO] you humble yourselves [RHQ] by bowing your heads like [SIM] [the tops of] reeds bend [when the wind blows], and you wear [RHQ] rough clothes and cover your heads with ashes [like people do when they are grieving]. That is what you do when you are fasting, but do you really think [RHQ] that will please me?
6 ¿No es este el día santo por el que he dado órdenes; liberar las ligaduras de impiedad, deshacer las coyundas del yugo, y dejar que el oprimido salga libre, y cada yugo se rompa?
No, that is not the kind of fasting that I desire. What I really want [RHQ] is for you to free those who have been unjustly put in prison [DOU], and to encourage those who are (treated cruelly/oppressed); I want you to free those who have been oppressed in any way.
7 ¿No es para dar tu pan a los necesitados y dejar que los pobres que no tienen lugar de descanso entren en tu casa? ¿Poner una túnica sobre el que está sin ropa cuando lo ves, y no mantener los ojos cerrados por miedo a ver su carne?
I want you to [RHQ] share your food with those who are hungry and to allow those who have no houses to stay in your houses. Give clothes to those who do not have clothes, and do not hide from your relatives who need help from you.
8 Entonces la luz te iluminará como en la mañana, y tus heridas pronto se curarán, y tu justicia irá delante de ti, y la gloria del Señor vendrá después de ti.
If you do those things, [what you do for others will be like] [SIM] a light that shines when it dawns. The troubles [that have been caused by your sins] will end quickly. Others will know about your righteous behavior, and with my glorious presence I will protect you from behind [like I protected the Israeli people when they left Egypt].
9 Entonces, al sonido de tu voz, el Señor dará una respuesta; A tu clamor dirá: Heme aquí. Si quitas de entre ti el yugo, el amenazar con él dedo y hablar vanidad;
Then you will call out to me, and I will [quickly] answer [and say that I will help you].’ Stop (oppressing people/treating people cruelly); stop falsely accusing people; and stop saying evil [things about people].
10 Y si das tu pan a los necesitados, y sacias el deseo del afligido; entonces tendrás luz en la oscuridad, y tu noche será como la plena luz del sol.
Give food to those who are hungry, and give to people who are afflicted/suffering the things that they need. [Your doing that will be like] [MET] a light that shines in the darkness; instead of doing evil to people [MET], [the good things that you do for them will be like] [SIM] sunshine at noontime.
11 Y el Señor será tu guía en todo momento; en lugares secos te dará agua en toda su extensión y fortalecerá tus huesos; y serás como un jardín regado, y como un manantial que siempre fluye.
[I], Yahweh, will guide you continually, and I will give you good things to satisfy you. I will enable you to remain strong and healthy. You will be like [SIM] a garden that is well watered, like [SIM] a spring that never dries up.
12 Y tus hijos volverán a construir los viejos lugares desolados; fortalecerás las bases de las viejas generaciones; y serás nombrado, el reparador de los muros rotos y el que prepara los caminos para el uso.
[Your people] will rebuild the cities that were destroyed long ago; they will build [houses] on top of the old foundations. People will say that you are the ones who are repairing the holes [in the city walls], and who are repairing the streets where people live.
13 Si guardas el sábado con cuidado, no haces tus asuntos en mi día santo; y si el sábado te parece un deleite; el día santo del Señor, honorable y lo honras; y si lo respetas para no ocuparte de tus asuntos, o perseguir tu placer, o decir palabras profanas;
Do not travel [MTY] long distances on Sabbath/rest days, and on Sabbath days do not do only the things that you delight to do. Enjoy the Sabbath days, and consider them to be delightful. The Sabbath days are my holy days. Honor me, Yahweh, in everything that you do [on the Sabbath days]. Do not talk about and do things [only] to please yourselves. If you do all the things that I have just now told you to do,
14 Entonces el Señor será tu deleite; y te pondré en los lugares altos de la tierra; y te daré la herencia de tu padre Jacob, porque la boca del Señor lo ha dicho.
I will enable you to be joyful. I will greatly honor you; [I will honor you everywhere!] I will give to you the [blessings] that I gave to your ancestor Jacob. [Those things will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
