Esias 58

1 Cry aloud, and spare not; lift up your voice as with a trumpet, and declare to my people their sins, and to the house of Jacob their iniquities.

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 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 near to 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 saying, Why have we fasted, and you regard not? [why] have we afflicted our souls, and you did not know it? Nay, in the days of your fasts you find your pleasures, and all them that are under your power you wound.

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 If you fast for quarrels and strifes, and strike the lowly with [your] fists, therefore do you fast to me as [you do] this day, so that your voice may be heard in crying?

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 I have not chosen this fast, nor [such] a day for a man to afflict his soul; neither though you should bend down your neck as a ring, and spread under you sackcloth and ashes, neither thus shall you call a fast acceptable.

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 I have not chosen such a fast, says the Lord; but do you loose every burden of iniquity, do you untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account.

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 Break your bread to the hungry, and lead the unsheltered poor to your house: if you see one naked, clothe [him], and you shall not disregard the relations of your own seed.

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 shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall speedily spring forth: and your righteousness shall go before you, and the glory of God shall compass you.

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 shall you cry, and God shall listen to you; while you are yet speaking he will say, Behold, I am here. If you remove from you the band, and the stretching forth of the hands, and murmuring speech;

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 bread to the hungry from your heart, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light spring up in darkness, and your darkness [shall be] as noon-day:

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 and your God shall be with you continually, and you shall be satisfied according as your soul desires; and your bones shall be made fat, and shall be as a well-watered garden, and as a fountain [from] which the water has not failed.

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 And your old waste desert [places] shall be built up, and your foundations shall last through all generations; and you shall be called a repairer of breaches, and you shall cause your paths between to be in peace.

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 away your foot from the sabbath, so as not to do your pleasure on the holy days, and shall call the sabbaths delightful, holy to God; [if] you shall not lift up your foot to work, nor speak a word in anger out of your mouth,

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 shall you trust on the Lord; and he shall bring you up to the good places of the land, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.

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。
