< Isaiah 58 >

1 “Call with the throat, do not restrain, lift up your voice as a horn, And 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 They seek Me day by day, And they desire the knowledge of My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness, And has not forsaken the judgment of its God, They ask of Me judgments of righteousness, They desire the drawing near 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? We have afflicted our soul, and You do not know. Behold, you find pleasure in the day of your fast, And exact all your laborers.
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 Behold, you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness, You do not fast as [this] day, To sound your voice in the high place.
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 like the fast that I choose? The day of a man’s afflicting his soul? To bow his head as a reed, And spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, And a desirable day—to YHWH?
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 Is this not the fast that I chose—To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And draw 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 Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, And bring home the wandering poor, That you see the naked and cover him, And do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
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 breaks forth as the dawn, And your health springs up in haste, Your righteousness has gone before you, The glory of YHWH gathers 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 you call, and YHWH answers, You cry, and He says, Behold Me. If you turn aside the yoke from your midst, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity,
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 bring out your soul to the hungry, And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light has risen in the darkness, And your thick darkness [is] as noon.
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 YHWH continually leads you, And has satisfied your soul in drought, And He arms your bones, And you have been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters do not lie.
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 they have built the ancient ruins from you, You raise up the foundations of many generations, And one calls you, Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.
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 the Sabbath, [From] doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And have cried to the Sabbath, A delight, To the holy of YHWH, Honored, And have honored it, without doing your own ways, Without finding your own pleasure, And speaking a word.
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 delight yourself on YHWH, And I have caused you to ride on high places of earth, And have caused you to eat the inheritance of your father Jacob, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken!”
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。
