Isaiah 58
1 Cry out! Cease not! Exalt your voice like a trumpet, and announce to my people their wicked acts, 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 they also seek me, from day to day, and they are willing to know my ways, like a nation which has done justice and has not abandoned the judgment of their God. They petition me for judgments of justice. They are willing 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 “Why have we fasted, and you have not taken notice? Why have we humbled our souls, and you have not acknowledged it?” Behold, in the day of your fasting, your own will is found, and you petition for payment from all your debtors.
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 with strife and contention, and you strike with the fist impiously. Do not choose to fast as you have done even to this day. Then your outcry will 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 a fast such as I have chosen: for a man to afflict his soul for a day, to contort his head in a circle, and to spread sackcloth and ashes? Should 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 Is not this, instead, the kind of fast that I have chosen? Release the constraints of impiety; relieve the burdens that oppress; freely forgive those who are broken; and break apart every burden.
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 with the hungry, and lead the destitute and the homeless into your house. When you see someone naked, cover him, and do not despise 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 will break forth like the morning, and your health will improve quickly, and your justice will go before your face, and the glory of the Lord will gather you up.
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 heed; you will cry out, and he will say, “Here I am,” if you take away the chains from your midst, and cease to point your finger and to speak what is not beneficial.
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 When you pour out your life for the hungry, and you satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise up in darkness, and your darkness will be like the midday.
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 the Lord will give you rest continually, and he will fill your soul with splendor, and he will free your bones, and you will be like a watered garden and like a fountain of water whose waters will not 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 And places that have been desolate for ages will be built up by you. You will raise a foundation for generation after generation. And you will be called the repairer of hedges, who turns the roadways into quiet places.
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 restrain your foot on the Sabbath, from doing your own will on my holy day, and if you call the Sabbath delightful, and the Holy of the Lord glorious, and if you glorify him, while you do not act according to your own ways, and your own will is not found, not even to speak 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 will find delight in the Lord, and I will take you up, above the heights of the earth, and I will nourish you with the inheritance of Jacob, your father. For the mouth of the Lord 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。
