World English Bible (with Deuterocanon)
“Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your laborers. 4 Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You don’t fast today so as to make your voice to be heard on high. 5 Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh? 6 “Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? 7 Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh? 8 Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
“If you take away from among you the yoke,
finger pointing, and speaking wickedly; 10 and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul,
then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday; 11 and Yahweh will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water
whose waters don’t fail. 12 Those who will be of you will build the old waste places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings. 13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of Yahweh honorable, and honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words, 14 then you will delight yourself in Yahweh, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.
Bible Crampon 1923
et si tu rassasies l’âme affligée ; Ta lumière se lèvera au sein de l’obscurité,
et tes ténèbres brilleront comme le midi. 11 Et Yahweh te guidera perpétuellement,
il rassasiera ton âme dans les lieux arides.
Il donnera de la vigueur à tes os ;
tu seras comme un jardin bien arrosé,
comme une source d’eau vive,
qui ne tarit jamais. 12 Tes enfants rebâtiront tes ruines antiques ;
tu relèveras des fondements posés aux anciens âges ;
on t’appellera le réparateur des brèches,
le restaurateur des chemins, pour rendre le pays habitable. 13 Si tu t’abstiens de fouler aux pieds le sabbat,
en t’occupant de tes affaires en mon saint jour,
et que tu appelles le sabbat tes délices,
vénérable le saint jour de Yahweh,
et que tu l’honores en ne poursuivant point tes voies,
en ne te livrant pas à tes affaires et à de vains discours ; 14 Alors tu trouveras tes délices en Yahweh,
et je te transporterai comme en triomphe sur les hauteurs du pays,
et je te ferai jouir de l’héritage de Jacob, ton père ;
car la bouche de Yahweh a parlé.
