Isaia 58


font
NOVA VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 Clama fortiter, ne cesses;
quasi tuba exalta vocem tuam
et annuntia populo meo scelera eorum
et domui Iacob peccata eorum.
1 Shout for all you are worth, do not hold back, raise your voice like a trumpet. To my people proclaimtheir rebel ious acts, to 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 for me day after day, they long to know my ways, like a nation that has acted uprightly andnot forsaken the law of its God. They ask me for laws that are upright, they long to be near 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 have we fasted, if you do not see, why mortify ourselves if you never notice?' Look, you seek yourown pleasure on your fastdays and you exploit al your workmen;
4 Ecce, ad lites et contentiones ieiunatis
et percutitis pugno impie.
Nolite ieiunare sicut hodie,
ut audiatur in excelso clamor vester.
4 look, the only purpose of your fasting is to quarrel and squabble and strike viciously with your fist.Fasting like yours today wil never 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 that the sort of fast that pleases me, a day when a person inflicts pain on himself? Hanging yourhead like a reed, spreading out sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you cal fasting, a day acceptable to Yahweh?
6 Nonne hoc est ieiunium, quod elegi:
dissolvere vincula iniqua,
solvere funes iugi,
dimittere eos, qui confracti sunt, liberos,
et omne iugum dirumpere?
6 Is not this the sort of fast that pleases me: to break unjust fetters, to undo the thongs of the yoke. to letthe oppressed go free, and to break al yokes?
7 Nonne frangere esurienti panem tuum,
et egenos, vagos inducere in domum?
Cum videris nudum, operi eum
et carnem tuam ne despexeris.
7 Is it not sharing your food with the hungry, and sheltering the homeless poor; if you see someonelacking clothes, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own kin?
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 wil blaze out like the dawn and your wound be quickly healed over. Saving justice wilgo ahead of you and Yahweh's glory come behind you.
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 will cry for help and Yahweh wil answer; you will cal and he will say, 'I am here.' If you doaway with the yoke, the clenched fist and malicious words,
10 si effuderis esurienti animam tuam
et animam afflictam satiaveris,
orietur in tenebris lux tua,
et caligo tua erit sicut meridies.
10 if you deprive yourself for the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, your light wil rise in thedarkness, and your darkest hour wil be like noon.
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 Yahweh will always guide you, wil satisfy your needs in the scorched land; he wil give strength toyour bones and you wil be like a watered garden, like a flowing spring whose waters never run dry.
12 Et reaedificabit gens tua ruinas antiquas;
fundamenta generationis et generationis suscitabis:
et vocaberis restitutor ruinarum,
instaurator viarum, ut habitentur.
12 Your ancient ruins wil be rebuilt; you will build on age -- old foundations. You wil be cal ed 'Breach-mender', 'Restorer of streets to be lived in'.
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 refrain from breaking the Sabbath, from taking your own pleasure on my holy day, if you cal the Sabbath 'Delightful', and the day sacred to Yahweh 'Honourable', if you honour it by abstaining from travel, fromseeking your own pleasure and from too much talk,
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 wil find true happiness in Yahweh, and I shal lead you in triumph over the heights of theland. I shall feed you on the heritage of your father Jacob, for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.
