Isaiah 58

Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and 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。
Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching 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。
Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
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。
Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to 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。
Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day 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?
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye 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?
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine 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?
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
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。
Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking 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,
And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as 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。
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
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。
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell 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。
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
你若在安息日掉转(或译:谨慎)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,
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
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。
