Isaiah 58

1 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.

“Cry loudly; do not hold back. Lift up your voice like a trumpet. Confront my people with their rebellion, and the house of Jacob with their sins.

2 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!

Yet they seek me daily and delight in the knowledge of my ways, like a nation that practiced righteousness and did not abandon the law of their God. They ask me for righteous judgments; they take pleasure in the thought of God coming near.

3 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.

'Why have we fasted,' they say, 'but you do not see it? Why have we humbled ourselves, but you do not notice?' Look, on the day of your fast you find your own pleasure and oppress all your laborers.

4 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.

Look, you fast to quarrel and fight, and to hit with your fist of wickedness; you do not fast today to make your voice heard above.

5 ¿ 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.

Is this really the kind of fast that I would want: A day for anybody to humble himself, for him to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Do you really call this a fast, a day that pleases Yahweh?

6 ¿ 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.

Is not this the fast that I choose: To release wicked bonds, to undo the ropes of the yoke, to set the crushed ones free, and to break every yoke?

7 ¿ 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.

Is it not to break your bread with the hungry and to bring the poor and homeless into your house?” When you see someone naked, you should clothe him; and you should not hide yourself from your own relatives.

8 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.

Then your light would be broken open like the sunrise, and your healing would quickly sprout up; your righteousness would go before you, and the glory of Yahweh would be your rearguard.

9 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.

Then you would call, and Yahweh would answer; you would cry out for help, and he would say, “Here I am.” If you take away from among yourselves the yoke, the accusing finger, and the speech of wickedness,

10 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.

if you yourselves provide for the hungry and satisfy the need of the distressed; then your light will rise in the darkness, and your darkness will be like the noonday.

11 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.

Then Yahweh will lead you continually and satisfy you in regions where there is no water, and he will strengthen your bones. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.

12 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.

Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the ruins of many generations; you will be called “The repairer of the wall,” “The restorer of streets to live on.”

13 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.

Suppose that you turn back your feet from traveling on the Sabbath day, and from doing your own pleasure on my holy day. Suppose that you call the Sabbath a delight, and that you call the matters of Yahweh holy and honored. Suppose that you honor the Sabbath by leaving your own business, and by not finding your own pleasure and by not speaking your own words.

14 Then you will take delight on Yahweh and I will make ride you on ([the] high places of *Qk) [the] land and I will feed you [the] inheritance of Jacob ancestor your for [the] mouth of Yahweh it has spoken.

“Then you will find delight in Yahweh; and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you from the inheritance of Jacob your father—for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
