Shout Loud — Call di Wound by Im Name
Di people dey fast and dey complain say our Papa no notice. E answer say dem dey fast while dem dey drive their workers and dey fight. Di fast wey e want na to loose chain, share bread, bring people wey no get house enter inside. Make dem do am, and their light go break like morning.
58 1"Shout loud, no hold back; make your voice loud like trumpet. Tell my people about dem rebellion, tell di house of Jacob about dem sin.
2"But every day dem dey find me and dem dey happy to know my ways, like nation wey dey do wetin correct and wey never abandon di justice of dem Papa. Dem dey ask me for correct-and-holy judgment; dem dey happy to draw near to our Papa. 3Why we fast, and you no see am? Why we humble ourself, and you no notice am?' Look—for di day of your fast, na your own desire you dey pursue, and you dey drive all your workers hard.
4"Look—you dey fast only to quarrel and to fight and to strike with wicked fist. You no fit fast di way you dey do today and expect say your voice go reach heaven. 5Na dis kind fast I choose, a day for person to humble imself? Na only to bend im head like reed, and to spread rough cloth and ashes under imself? Na dis you dey call fast, a day wey please your Papa?
6"No be dis na di fast I choose: to loose di chains of wickedness, to untie di cords of di yoke, to set di people wey dem dey oppress free, and to break every yoke? 7No be to share your bread with di hungry person, and to bring di poor wey no get house come inside your house; when you see person wey naked, to clothe am, and no to hide yourself from your own flesh and blood?
8"Den your light go break out like di morning light, and your healing go spring up quick-quick; your correct-and-holy way go go before you, and my glory go be your rear guard."
9Den you go call, and I go answer; you go cry for help, and I go say, 'I dey here.' If you comot di yoke from among you, di finger wey dey point and di talk wey dey wound,
10"if you pour yourself out for di hungry person and satisfy di desire of di person wey dey suffer, den your light go rise for inside di darkness, and your night go turn like afternoon. 11I go guide you all di time, and satisfy you for dry places; I go make your bones strong. You go be like garden wey dem dey water well, like spring of water wey im water no dey ever dry. 12Your people go rebuild di old ruins; you go raise up di foundations wey don tey. Dem go call you Person Wey Dey Repair di Breach, Person Wey Dey Restore di Streets to Live In. a a v12 A 'breach' na gap or break for city wall; di title dey picture person wey dey patch di damage and restore di defenses.
13"If you keep your foot from breaking di Sabbath, from pursuing your own desire for my holy day; if you call di Sabbath a delight and honour my holy day; if you honour am by no going your own way, no pursuing your own desire or speaking useless words, 14den you go find your delight for inside me, and I go make you ride on di high places of di land and feed you with di heritage of your father Jacob—because na di mouth of your Papa don talk am."
