Isaías 58

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Clama a voz en grito, no te moderes; levanta tu voz como cuerno y denuncia a mi pueblo su rebeldía y a la casa de Jacob sus pecados.	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.
2 A mí me buscan día a día y les agrada conocer mis caminos, como si fueran gente que la virtud practica y el rito de su Dios no hubiesen abandonado. Me preguntan por las leyes justas, la vecindad de su Dios les agrada.	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.
3 - ¿Por qué ayunamos, si tú no lo ves? ¿Para qué nos humillamos, si tú no lo sabes? - Es que el día en que ayunabais, buscabais vuestro negocio y explotabais a todos vuestros trabajadores.	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.
4 Es que ayunáis para litigio y pleito y para dar de puñetazos a malvados. No ayunéis como hoy, para hacer oír en las alturas vuestra voz.	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.
5 ¿Acaso es éste el ayuno que yo quiero el día en que se humilla el hombre? ¿Había que doblegar como junco la cabeza, en sayal y ceniza estarse echado? ¿A eso llamáis ayuno y día grato a Yahveh?	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?
6 ¿No será más bien este otro el ayuno que yo quiero: desatar los lazos de maldad, deshacer las coyundas del yugo, dar la libertad a los quebrantados, y arrancar todo yugo?	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.
7 ¿No será partir al hambriento tu pan, y a los pobres sin hogar recibir en casa? ¿Que cuando veas a un desnudo le cubras, y de tu semejante no te apartes?	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.
8 Entonces brotará tu luz como la aurora, y tu herida se curará rápidamente. Te precederá tu justicia, la gloria de Yahveh te seguirá.	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.
9 Entonces clamarás, y Yahveh te responderá, pedirás socorro, y dirá: «Aquí estoy». Si apartas de ti todo yugo, no apuntas con el dedo y no hablas maldad,	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.
10 repartes al hambriento tu pan, y al alma afligida dejas saciada, resplandecerá en las tinieblas tu luz, y lo oscuro de ti será como mediodía.	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.
11 Te guiará Yahveh de continuo, hartará en los sequedales tu alma, dará vigor a tus huesos, y serás como huerto regado, o como manantial cuyas aguas nunca faltan.	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.
12 Reedificarán, de ti, tus ruinas antiguas, levantarás los cimientos de pasadas generaciones, se te llamará Reparador de brechas, y Restaurador de senderos frecuentados.	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.
13 Si apartas del sábado tu pie, de hacer tu negocio en el día santo, y llamas al sábado «Delicia», al día santo de Yahveh «Honorable», y lo honras evitando tus viajes, no buscando tu interés ni tratando asuntos,	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,
14 entonces te deleitarás en Yahveh, y yo te haré cabalgar sobre los altozanos de la tierra. Te alimentaré con la heredad de Jacob tu padre; porque la boca de Yahveh ha hablado.	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.
