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, cease not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their wicked doings, and the house of Jacob their sins.
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。
For they seek me from day to day, sad desire to know my ways, as a nation that hath done justice, and hath not forsaken the judgment of their God: they ask of me the judgments of justice: they are willing to approach 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。
Why have we fasted, and thou hast not regarded: have we humbled our souls, and thou hast not taken notice? Behold in the day of your fast your own will is found, and you exact of all your debtors.
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。
Behold you fast for debates and strife. and strike with the fist wickedly. Do not fast as you have done until this day, to make your cry to be heard on high.
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？
Is this such a fast as I have chosen: for a man to afflict his soul for a day? is this it, to wind his head about like a circle, and to spread sackcloth and ashes? wilt thou call this a fast, and a day acceptable to the Lord?
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？
Is not this rather the fast that I have chosen? loose the bands of wickedness, undo the bundles that oppress, let them that are broken go free, and break asunder every burden.
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？
Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the needy and the harbourless into thy house: when thou shalt see one naked, cover him, and despise not thy own flesh.
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 arise, and thy justice shall go before thy face, and the glory of the Lord shall gather thee up.
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 call, and the Lord shall hear: thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou wilt take away the chain out of the midst of thee, and cease to stretch out the finger, and to speak that which profiteth not.
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。
When thou shalt pour out thy soul to the hungry, and shalt satisfy the afflicted soul then shall thy light rise up in darkness, and thy darkness shall be as the noonday.
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 the Lord will give thee rest continually, and will fill thy soul with brightness, and deliver thy bones, and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a fountain of water whose waters shall not fail.
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 the places that have been desolate for ages shall be built in thee: thou shalt raise up the foundations of generation and generation: and thou shalt be called the repairer of the fences, turning the paths into rest.
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, from doing thy own will in my holy day, and call the sabbath delightful, and the holy of the Lord glorious, and glorify him, while thou dost not thy own ways, and thy own will is not found: to speak a word:
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 be delighted in the Lord, and I will lift thee up above the high places of the earth, and will feed thee with the inheritance of Jacob thy father. For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
