Isaiah 58
1 Cry out! Cease not! Exalt your voice like a trumpet, and announce to my people their wicked acts, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
Clama a alta voz, no detengas: alza tu voz como trompeta, y anuncia a mi pueblo su rebelión, y a la casa de Jacob su pecado.
2 For they also seek me, from day to day, and they are willing to know my ways, like a nation which has done justice and has not abandoned the judgment of their God. They petition me for judgments of justice. They are willing to draw near to God.
Que me buscan cada día, y quieren saber mis caminos, como nación que hubiese obrado justicia, y que no hubiese dejado el derecho de su Dios: pregúntanme derechos de justicia, y quieren acercarse de Dios.
3 “Why have we fasted, and you have not taken notice? Why have we humbled our souls, and you have not acknowledged it?” Behold, in the day of your fasting, your own will is found, and you petition for payment from all your debtors.
¿Por qué ayunamos, y no hiciste caso: humillamos nuestras almas, y no lo supiste? He aquí que en el día de vuestro ayuno halláis lo que queréis, y todos pedís vuestras haciendas.
4 Behold, you fast with strife and contention, and you strike with the fist impiously. Do not choose to fast as you have done even to this day. Then your outcry will be heard on high.
He aquí que para contiendas y debates ayunáis; y para herir del puño malamente. No ayunéis como hasta aquí, para que sea oída en lo alto vuestra voz.
5 Is this a fast such as I have chosen: for a man to afflict his soul for a day, to contort his head in a circle, and to spread sackcloth and ashes? Should you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the Lord?
¿Es tal el ayuno que yo escogí, que de día aflija el hombre su alma, que encorve su cabeza como junco, y haga cama de saco y ceniza? ¿Esto llamaréis ayuno, y día agradable a Jehová?
6 Is not this, instead, the kind of fast that I have chosen? Release the constraints of impiety; relieve the burdens that oppress; freely forgive those who are broken; and break apart every burden.
¿No es antes el ayuno que yo escogí, desatar los líos de impiedad, deshacer los haces de opresión, y soltar libres a los quebrantados, y que rompáis todo yugo?
7 Break your bread with the hungry, and lead the destitute and the homeless into your house. When you see someone naked, cover him, and do not despise your own flesh.
¿Que partas tu pan con el hambriento, y a los pobres vagabundos metas en casa: cuando vieres al desnudo, le cubras; y que no te escondas de tu carne?
8 Then your light will break forth like the morning, and your health will improve quickly, and your justice will go before your face, and the glory of the Lord will gather you up.
Entonces nacerá tu luz como el alba; y tu sanidad reverdecerá presto; e irá tu justicia delante de ti, y la gloria de Jehová te recogerá.
9 Then you will call, and the Lord will heed; you will cry out, and he will say, “Here I am,” if you take away the chains from your midst, and cease to point your finger and to speak what is not beneficial.
Entonces invocarás, y oírte ha Jehová: clamarás, y dirá: Heme aquí. Si quitares de en medio de ti el yugo, el extender el dedo, y hablar vanidad;
10 When you pour out your life for the hungry, and you satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise up in darkness, and your darkness will be like the midday.
Y si derramares tu alma al hambriento, y hartares el alma afligida: en las tinieblas nacerá tu luz; y tu oscuridad será como el mediodía.
11 And the Lord will give you rest continually, and he will fill your soul with splendor, and he will free your bones, and you will be like a watered garden and like a fountain of water whose waters will not fail.
Y pastorearte ha Jehová siempre, y en las sequedades hartará tu alma, y engordará tus huesos; y serás como huerta de riego, y como manadero de aguas, cuyas aguas nunca faltan.
12 And places that have been desolate for ages will be built up by you. You will raise a foundation for generation after generation. And you will be called the repairer of hedges, who turns the roadways into quiet places.
Y edificarán de ti los desiertos antiguos: los cimientos caídos de generación y generación levantarás; y serás llamado, reparador de portillos, restaurador de calzadas para habitar.
13 If you restrain your foot on the Sabbath, from doing your own will on my holy day, and if you call the Sabbath delightful, and the Holy of the Lord glorious, and if you glorify him, while you do not act according to your own ways, and your own will is not found, not even to speak a word,
Si retrajeres del sábado tu pie, de hacer tu voluntad en mi día santo, y al sábado llamares delicias, santo, glorioso de Jehová; y le venerares, no haciendo tus caminos, ni buscando tu voluntad, ni hablando palabra:
14 then you will find delight in the Lord, and I will take you up, above the heights of the earth, and I will nourish you with the inheritance of Jacob, your father. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Entonces te deleitarás en Jehová; y hacerte he subir sobre las alturas de la tierra, y hacerte he comer la heredad de Jacob tu padre; porque la boca de Jehová ha hablado.
