以賽亞書 58
1 你要大聲喊叫，不可止息； 揚起聲來，好像吹角。 向我百姓說明他們的過犯； 向雅各家說明他們的罪惡。
Cry aloud, and spare not; lift up thy voice as with a trumpet, and declare to my people their sins, and to the house of Jacob their iniquities.
2 他們天天尋求我， 樂意明白我的道， 好像行義的國民， 不離棄他們上帝的典章， 向我求問公義的判語， 喜悅親近上帝。
They seek me day by day, and desire to know my ways, as a people that had done righteousness, and had not forsaken the judgment of their God: they now ask of me righteous judgment, and desire to draw nigh to God,
3 他們說：我們禁食，你為何不看見呢？ 我們刻苦己心，你為何不理會呢？ 看哪，你們禁食的日子仍求利益， 勒逼人為你們做苦工。
saying, Why have we fasted, and thou regardest not? [why] have we afflicted our souls, and thou didst not know it? Nay, in the days of your fasts ye find your pleasures, and all them that are under your power ye wound.
4 你們禁食，卻互相爭競， 以凶惡的拳頭打人。 你們今日禁食， 不得使你們的聲音聽聞於上。
If ye fast for quarrels and strifes, and smite the lowly with [your] fists, wherefore do ye fast to me as [ye do] this day, so that your voice may be heard in crying?
5 這樣禁食豈是我所揀選、 使人刻苦己心的日子嗎？ 豈是叫人垂頭像葦子， 用麻布和爐灰鋪在他以下嗎？ 你這可稱為禁食、為耶和華所悅納的日子嗎？
I have not chosen this fast, nor [such] a day for a man to afflict his soul; neither though thou shouldest bend down thy neck as a ring, and spread under thee sackcloth and ashes, neither thus shall ye call a fast acceptable.
6 我所揀選的禁食不是要鬆開凶惡的繩， 解下軛上的索， 使被欺壓的得自由， 折斷一切的軛嗎？
I have not chosen such a fast, saith the Lord; but do thou loose every burden of iniquity, do thou untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account.
7 不是要把你的餅分給飢餓的人， 將飄流的窮人接到你家中， 見赤身的給他衣服遮體， 顧恤自己的骨肉而不掩藏嗎？
Break thy bread to the hungry, and lead the unsheltered poor to thy house: if thou seest one naked, clothe [him], and thou shalt not disregard the relations of thine own seed.
8 這樣，你的光就必發現如早晨的光； 你所得的醫治要速速發明。 你的公義必在你前面行； 耶和華的榮光必作你的後盾。
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall speedily spring forth: and thy righteousness shall go before thee, and the glory of God shall compass thee.
9 那時你求告，耶和華必應允； 你呼求，他必說：我在這裏。 你若從你中間除掉重軛 和指摘人的指頭，並發惡言的事，
Then shalt thou cry, and God shall hearken to thee; while thou art yet speaking he will say, Behold, I am here. If thou remove from thee the band, and the stretching forth of the hands, and murmuring speech;
10 你心若向飢餓的人發憐憫， 使困苦的人得滿足， 你的光就必在黑暗中發現； 你的幽暗必變如正午。
and [if] thou give bread to the hungry from thy heart, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light spring up in darkness, and thy darkness [shall be] as noon-day:
11 耶和華也必時常引導你， 在乾旱之地使你心滿意足， 骨頭強壯。 你必像澆灌的園子， 又像水流不絕的泉源。
and thy God shall be with thee continually, and thou shalt be satisfied according as thy soul desires; and thy bones shall be made fat, and shall be as a well-watered garden, and as a fountain [from] which the water has not failed.
12 那些出於你的人必修造久已荒廢之處； 你要建立拆毀累代的根基。 你必稱為補破口的， 和重修路徑與人居住的。
And thy old waste desert [places] shall be built up, and thy foundations shall last through all generations; and thou shalt be called a repairer of breaches, and thou shalt cause thy paths between to be in peace.
13 你若在安息日掉轉你的腳步， 在我聖日不以操作為喜樂， 稱安息日為可喜樂的， 稱耶和華的聖日為可尊重的； 而且尊敬這日， 不辦自己的私事， 不隨自己的私意， 不說自己的私話，
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, so as not to do thy pleasure on the holy days, and shalt call the sabbaths delightful, holy to God; [if] thou shalt not lift up thy foot to work, nor speak a word in anger out of thy mouth,
14 你就以耶和華為樂。 耶和華要使你乘駕地的高處， 又以你祖雅各的產業養育你。 這是耶和華親口說的。
then shalt thou trust on the Lord; and he shall bring thee up to the good places of the land, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.
