Isaiah 58
1 “Cry aloud, do not hold back! Raise your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare to My people their transgression and to the house of Jacob their sins.
你要大声喊叫，不可止息； 扬起声来，好像吹角。 向我百姓说明他们的过犯； 向雅各家说明他们的罪恶。
2 For day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, like a nation that does what is right and does not forsake the justice of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of God.”
他们天天寻求我， 乐意明白我的道， 好像行义的国民， 不离弃他们 神的典章， 向我求问公义的判语， 喜悦亲近 神。
3 “Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? Why have we humbled ourselves, and You have not noticed?” “Behold, on the day of your fast, you do as you please, and you oppress all your workers.
他们说：我们禁食，你为何不看见呢？ 我们刻苦己心，你为何不理会呢？ 看哪，你们禁食的日子仍求利益， 勒逼人为你们做苦工。
4 You fast with contention and strife to strike viciously with your fist. You cannot fast as you do today and have your voice be heard on high.
你们禁食，却互相争竞， 以凶恶的拳头打人。 你们今日禁食， 不得使你们的声音听闻于上。
5 Is this the fast I have chosen: a day for a man to deny himself, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the LORD?
这样禁食岂是我所拣选、 使人刻苦己心的日子吗？ 岂是叫人垂头像苇子， 用麻布和炉灰铺在他以下吗？ 你这可称为禁食、为耶和华所悦纳的日子吗？
6 Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to break the chains of wickedness, to untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and tear off every yoke?
我所拣选的禁食不是要松开凶恶的绳， 解下轭上的索， 使被欺压的得自由， 折断一切的轭吗？
7 Isn’t it to share your bread with the hungry, to bring the poor and homeless into your home, to clothe the naked when you see him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
不是要把你的饼分给饥饿的人， 将飘流的穷人接到你家中， 见赤身的给他衣服遮体， 顾恤自己的骨肉而不掩藏吗？
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will come quickly. Your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
这样，你的光就必发现如早晨的光； 你所得的医治要速速发明。 你的公义必在你前面行； 耶和华的荣光必作你的后盾。
9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry out, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and malicious talk,
那时你求告，耶和华必应允； 你呼求，他必说：我在这里。 你若从你中间除掉重轭 和指摘人的指头，并发恶言的事，
10 and if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will go forth in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday.
你心若向饥饿的人发怜悯， 使困苦的人得满足， 你的光就必在黑暗中发现； 你的幽暗必变如正午。
11 The LORD will always guide you; He will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
耶和华也必时常引导你， 在干旱之地使你心满意足， 骨头强壮。 你必像浇灌的园子， 又像水流不绝的泉源。
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of the Streets of Dwelling.
那些出于你的人必修造久已荒废之处； 你要建立拆毁累代的根基。 你必称为补破口的， 和重修路径与人居住的。
13 If you turn your foot from breaking the Sabbath, from doing as you please on My holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight, and the LORD’s holy day honorable, if you honor it by not going your own way or seeking your own pleasure or speaking idle words,
你若在安息日掉转你的脚步， 在我圣日不以操作为喜乐， 称安息日为可喜乐的， 称耶和华的圣日为可尊重的； 而且尊敬这日， 不办自己的私事， 不随自己的私意， 不说自己的私话，
14 then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the land and feed you with the heritage of your father Jacob.”
你就以耶和华为乐。 耶和华要使你乘驾地的高处， 又以你祖雅各的产业养育你。 这是耶和华亲口说的。
