58 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

58 1"Cry aloud, spare not,
Lift up your voice like a trumpet;
declare to my people their transgression,
to the house of Jacob their sins.
True fasting. Is.58.1-12קְרָא בְגָרֹון אַל־תַּחְשֹׂךְ כַּשֹּׁופָר הָרֵם קֹולֶךָ וְהַגֵּד לְעַמִּי פִּשְׁעָם וּלְבֵית יַעֲקֹב חַטֹּאתָם׃
2Yet they seek me daily,
and delight to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that did righteousness
and did not forsake the ordinance of their God;
they ask of me righteous judgments,
they delight to draw near to God.
 וְאֹותִי יֹומ יֹום יִדְרֹשׁוּן וְדַעַת דְּרָכַי יֶחְפָּצוּן כְּגֹוי אֲשֶׁר־צְדָקָה עָשָׂה וּמִשְׁפַּט אֱלֹהָיו לֹא עָזָב יִשְׁאָלוּנִי מִשְׁפְּטֵי־צֶדֶק קִרְבַת אֱלֹהִים יֶחְפָּצוּן׃
3'Why have we fasted, and you see it not?
Why have we humbled ourselves,
and you take no knowledge of it?'
Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure,
and oppress all your workers.
 לָמָּה צַּמְנוּ וְלֹא רָאִיתָ עִנִּינוּ נַפְשֵׁנוּ וְלֹא תֵדָע הֵן בְּיֹום צֹםְכֶם תִּמְצְאוּ־חֵפֶץ וְכָל־עַצְּבֵיכֶם תִּנְגֹּשׂוּ׃
4Behold, you fast only to quarrel
and to fight and to hit with wicked fist.
Fasting like yours this day
will not make your voice to be heard on high.
 הֵן לְרִיב וּמַצָּה תָּצוּמוּ וּלְהַכֹּות בְּאֶגְרֹף רֶשַׁע לֹא־תָצוּמוּ כַיֹּום לְהַשְׁמִיעַ בַּמָּרֹום קֹולְכֶם׃
5Is such the fast that I choose,
a day for a man to humble himself?
Is it to bow down his head like a rush,
and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
Will you call this a fast,
and a day acceptable to Yahweh?
 הֲכָזֶה יִהְיֶה צֹום אֶבְחָרֵהוּ יֹום עַנֹּות אָדָם נַפְשֹׁו הֲלָכֹף כְּאַגְמֹן רֹאשֹׁו וְשַׂק וָאֵפֶר יַצִּיעַ הֲלָזֶה תִּקְרָא־צֹום וְיֹום רָצֹון לַיהוָה׃
6"Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the thongs of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?
 הֲלֹוא זֶה צֹום אֶבְחָרֵהוּ פַּתֵּחַ חַרְצֻבֹּות רֶשַׁע הַתֵּר אֲגֻדֹּות מֹוטָה וְשַׁלַּח רְצוּצִים חָפְשִׁים וְכָל־מֹוטָה תְּנַתֵּקוּ׃
7Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
 הֲלֹוא פָרֹס לָרָעֵב לַחְמֶךָ וַעֲנִיִּים מְרוּדִים תָּבִיא בָיִת כִּי־תִרְאֶה עָרֹם וְכִסִּיתֹו וּמִבְּשָׂרְךָ לֹא תִתְעַלָּם׃
8Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
and your healing shall spring up speedily;
your righteousness shall go before you,
the glory of Yahweh shall be your rear guard.
 אָז יִבָּקַע כַּשַּׁחַר אֹורֶךָ וַאֲרֻכָתְךָ מְהֵרָה תִצְמָח וְהָלַךְ לְפָנֶיךָ צִדְקֶךָ כְּבֹוד יְהוָה יַאַסְפֶךָ׃
9Then you shall call, and Yahweh will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, Here I am.
"If you take away from the midst of you the yoke,
the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
 אָז תִּקְרָא וַיהוָה יַעֲנֶה תְּשַׁוַּע וְיֹאמַר הִנֵּנִי אִם־תָּסִיר מִתֹּוךְךָ מֹוטָה שְׁלַח אֶצְבַּע וְדַבֶּר־אָוֶן׃
10if you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
then shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
 וְתָפֵק לָרָעֵב נַפְשֶׁךָ וְנֶפֶשׁ נַעֲנָה תַּשְׂבִּיעַ וְזָרַח בַּחֹשֶׁךְ אֹורֶךָ וַאֲפֵלָתְךָ כַּצָּהֳרָיִם׃
11And Yahweh will guide you continually,
and satisfy your desire with good things,
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters fail not.
 וְנָחֲךָ יְהוָה תָּמִיד וְהִשְׂבִּיעַ בְּצַחְצָחֹות נַפְשֶׁךָ וְעַצְמֹתֶיךָ יַחֲלִיץ וְהָיִיתָ כְּגַן רָוֶה וּכְמֹוצָא מַיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְכַזְּבוּ מֵימָיו׃
12And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of streets to dwell in.
 וּבָנוּ מִמְּךָ חָרְבֹות עֹולָם מֹוסְדֵי דֹור־וָדֹור תְּקֹוםֵם וְקֹרָא לְךָ גֹּדֵר פֶּרֶץ מְשֹׁבֵב נְתִיבֹות לָשָׁבֶת׃

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
