Isaiah 58
1 “Cry loudly; do not hold back. Lift up your voice like a trumpet. Confront my people with their rebellion, and the house of Jacob with 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 Yet they seek me daily and delight in the knowledge of my ways, like a nation that practiced righteousness and did not abandon the law of their God. They ask me for righteous judgments; they take pleasure in the thought of God coming near.
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,' they say, 'but you do not see it? Why have we humbled ourselves, but you do not notice?' Look, on the day of your fast you find your own pleasure and oppress 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 Look, you fast to quarrel and fight, and to hit with your fist of wickedness; you do not fast today to make your voice heard above.
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 really the kind of fast that I would want: A day for anybody to humble himself, for him to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Do you really call this a fast, a day that pleases Yahweh?
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 not this the fast that I choose: To release wicked bonds, to undo the ropes of the yoke, to set the crushed ones free, and to break 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 break your bread with the hungry and to bring the poor and homeless into your house?” When you see someone naked, you should clothe him; and you should not hide yourself from your own relatives.
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 would be broken open like the sunrise, and your healing would quickly sprout up; your righteousness would go before you, and the glory of Yahweh would be your rearguard.
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 would call, and Yahweh would answer; you would cry out for help, and he would say, “Here I am.” If you take away from among yourselves the yoke, the accusing finger, and the speech of wickedness,
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 if you yourselves provide for the hungry and satisfy the need of the distressed; then your light will rise in the darkness, and your darkness will be like the 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 Then Yahweh will lead you continually and satisfy you in regions where there is no water, and he will strengthen your bones. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, 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 Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the ruins of many generations; you will be called “The repairer of the wall,” “The restorer of streets to live on.”
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 Suppose that you turn back your feet from traveling on the Sabbath day, and from doing your own pleasure on my holy day. Suppose that you call the Sabbath a delight, and that you call the matters of Yahweh holy and honored. Suppose that you honor the Sabbath by leaving your own business, and by not finding your own pleasure and by not speaking your own 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 find delight in Yahweh; and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you from the inheritance of Jacob your father—for the mouth of Yahweh 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。
