Isaiah 58

1 “Kígbe rẹ̀ sókè, má ṣe fàsẹ́yìn. Gbé ohùn rẹ sókè bí i ti fèrè. Jẹ́ kí ó di mí mọ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn mi, ọ̀tẹ̀ wọn, àti fún ilé Jakọbu ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.

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 Nítorí ọjọ́ dé ọjọ́ ni wọ́n ń wá mi kiri; wọ́n ṣe bí ẹni ní ìtara láti mọ ọ̀nà mi, àfi bí ẹni pé wọ́n jẹ́ orílẹ̀-èdè kan tí ń ṣe ohun tí ó tọ̀nà tí òun kò sì tí ì kọ àṣẹ Ọlọ́run rẹ̀. Wọ́n ń béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi fún ìpinnu nìkan wọ́n sì ṣe bí ẹni ń tara fún Ọlọ́run láti súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ wọn.

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

3 Wọ́n wí pé, ‘Èéṣe tí àwa fi ń gbààwẹ̀, tí ìwọ kò sì tí ì rí? Èéṣe tí àwa fi rẹra wa sílẹ̀, tí ìwọ kò sì tí ì ṣe àkíyèsí?’ “Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ àwẹ̀ yín, ẹ̀yin ń ṣe bí ó ti wù yín ẹ sì ń pọ́n àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ yín gbogbo lójú.

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 Àwẹ̀ yín sì parí nínú ìjà àti asọ̀, àti lílu ọmọnìkejì ẹni pa pẹ̀lú ìkùùkuu. Ẹ̀yin kò le è gbààwẹ̀ bí ẹ ti ń ṣe lónìí kí ẹ sì retí kí a gbọ́ ohùn un yín ní ibi gíga.

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 Ǹjẹ́ èyí ha ni irú àwẹ̀ tí mo yàn bí, ọjọ́ kan ṣoṣo fún ènìyàn láti rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀? Ó ha jẹ pe kí ènìyàn tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba bí i koríko lásán ni bí àti sísùn nínú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ àti eérú? Ṣé ohun tí ẹ̀ ń pè ní àwẹ̀ nìyí, ọjọ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà fún Olúwa?

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 “Ǹjẹ́ irú àwẹ̀ tí mo ti yàn kọ́ ni èyí: láti já gbogbo ẹ̀wọ̀n àìṣòdodo àti láti tú gbogbo okùn àjàgà, láti tú gbogbo àwọn ti à ń ni lára sílẹ̀ àti láti fọ́ gbogbo àjàgà?

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 Kì í ha á ṣe láti pín oúnjẹ yín fún àwọn tí ebi ń pa àti láti pèsè ibùgbé fún àwọn òtòṣì tí ń rìn káàkiri. Nígbà tí ẹ bá rí ẹni tí ó wà níhòhò, láti daṣọ bò ó, àti láti má ṣe lé àwọn ìbátan yín sẹ́yìn?

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 Nígbà náà ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ yóò tàn jáde bí òwúrọ̀ àti ìmúláradá rẹ yóò farahàn kíákíá; nígbà náà ni òdodo rẹ yóò sì lọ níwájú rẹ, ògo Olúwa yóò sì jẹ́ ààbò lẹ́yìn rẹ.

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 Nígbà yìí ni ẹ̀yin yóò pè, tí Olúwa yóò sì dáhùn; ẹ̀yin yóò kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, òun yóò sì wí pé, Èmi nìyí. “Bí ìwọ bá mú àjàgà aninilára, nínà ìka àlébù àti sísọ ọ̀rọ̀ asán kúrò láàrín rẹ,

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 àti bí ẹ̀yin bá ná ara yín bí owó nítorí àwọn tí ebi ń pa tí ẹ sì tẹ́ ìfẹ́ àwọn tí à ń ni lára lọ́rùn, nígbà náà ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ yín yóò ràn nínú òkùnkùn, àti òru yín yóò dàbí ọ̀sán gangan.

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 Olúwa yóò máa tọ́ ọ yín nígbà gbogbo; òun yóò tẹ́ gbogbo àìní yín lọ́rùn ní ilẹ̀ tí oòrùn ń tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ yóò sì fún egungun rẹ lókun. Ìwọ yóò sì dàbí ọgbà tí a bomirin dáradára, àti bí orísun tí omi rẹ̀ kì í gbẹ.

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 Àwọn ènìyàn rẹ yóò tún ahoro àtijọ́ kọ́ wọn yóò sì gbé ìpìlẹ̀ àtijọ́-tijọ́ ró a ó sì pè ọ́ ní alátúnṣe ògiri tí ó ti wó àti olùmúbọ̀sípò àwọn òpópónà tí ènìyàn gbé inú rẹ̀.

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 “Bí ìwọ bá pa ẹsẹ̀ rẹ mọ́ kúrò nínú bíba ọjọ́ ìsinmi jẹ́, àti ṣíṣe bí ó ti wù ọ́ ni ọjọ́ mímọ́ mi, bí ìwọ bá pe ọjọ́ ìsinmi ní ohun dídùn àti ọjọ́ mímọ́ Olúwa ní ohun ọ̀wọ̀ àti bí ìwọ bá bu ọlá fún un láti máa bá ọ̀nà tìrẹ lọ àti láti má ṣe bí ó ti wù ọ́ tàbí kí o máa sọ̀rọ̀ aláìníláárí,

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 nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò ní ayọ̀ nínú Olúwa rẹ, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí ìwọ kí ó máa gun ibi gíga ilẹ̀ ayé, àti láti máa jàdídùn ìní ti Jakọbu baba rẹ.” Ẹnu Olúwa ni ó ti sọ̀rọ̀.

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.
