Isaia 58

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Clama fortiter, ne cesses; quasi tuba exalta vocem tuam et annuntia populo meo scelera eorum et domui Iacob peccata eorum.	1 Cry out full-throated and unsparingly, lift up your voice like a trumpet blast; Tell my people their wickedness, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Me etenim de die in diem quaerunt et scire vias meas volunt, quasi gens, quae iustitiam fecerit et iudicium Dei sui non dereliquerit. Rogant me iudicia iustitiae, appropinquare Deum volunt.	2 They seek me day after day, and desire to know my ways, Like a nation that has done what is just and not abandoned the law of their God; They ask me to declare what is due them, pleased to gain access to God.
3 “ Quare ieiunavimus, et non aspexisti, humiliavimus animam nostram, et nescisti? ”. Ecce, in die ieiunii vestri agitis negotia et omnes operarios vestros opprimitis.	3 "Why do we fast, and you do not see it? afflict ourselves, and you take no note of it?" Lo, on your fast day you carry out your own pursuits, and drive all your laborers.
4 Ecce, ad lites et contentiones ieiunatis et percutitis pugno impie. Nolite ieiunare sicut hodie, ut audiatur in excelso clamor vester.	4 Yes, your fast ends in quarreling and fighting, striking with wicked claw. Would that today you might fast so as to make your voice heard on high!
5 Numquid tale est ieiunium, quod elegi, dies, quo homo affligit animam suam? Numquid contorquere quasi iuncum caput suum et saccum et cinerem sternere? Numquid istud vocabis ieiunium et diem acceptabilem Domino?	5 Is this the manner of fasting I wish, of keeping a day of penance: That a man bow his head like a reed, and lie in sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD?
6 Nonne hoc est ieiunium, quod elegi: dissolvere vincula iniqua, solvere funes iugi, dimittere eos, qui confracti sunt, liberos, et omne iugum dirumpere?	6 This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke;
7 Nonne frangere esurienti panem tuum, et egenos, vagos inducere in domum? Cum videris nudum, operi eum et carnem tuam ne despexeris.	7 Sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; Clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own.
8 Tunc erumpet quasi aurora lumen tuum, et sanatio tua citius orietur; et anteibit faciem tuam iustitia tua, et gloria Domini colliget te.	8 Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; Your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
9 Tunc invocabis, et Dominus exaudiet; clamabis, et dicet: “ Ecce adsum ”. Si abstuleris de medio tui iugum et desieris extendere digitum et loqui iniquitatem;	9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer, you shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am! If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech;
10 si effuderis esurienti animam tuam et animam afflictam satiaveris, orietur in tenebris lux tua, et caligo tua erit sicut meridies.	10 If you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; Then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday;
11 Et te ducet Dominus semper, et satiabit in locis aridis animam tuam et ossa tua firmabit; et eris quasi hortus irriguus et sicut fons aquarum, cuius non deficient aquae.	11 Then the LORD will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land. He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails.
12 Et reaedificabit gens tua ruinas antiquas; fundamenta generationis et generationis suscitabis: et vocaberis restitutor ruinarum, instaurator viarum, ut habitentur.	12 The ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake, and the foundations from ages past you shall raise up; "Repairer of the breach," they shall call you, "Restorer of ruined homesteads."
13 Si averteris a sabbato pedem tuum, facere negotia tua in die sancto meo, et vocaveris sabbatum delicias et diem Domino sacrum gloriosum; et glorificaveris eum relinquens vias tuas et negotia tua et sermones tuos,	13 If you hold back your foot on the sabbath from following your own pursuits on my holy day; If you call the sabbath a delight, and the LORD'S holy day honorable; If you honor it by not following your ways, seeking your own interests, or speaking with malice--
14 tunc delectaberis super Domino; et vehi te faciam super altitudines terrae et cibabo te hereditate Iacob patris tui. Os enim Domini locutum est.	14 Then you shall delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will nourish you with the heritage of Jacob, your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
