< 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.
大によばはりて聲ををしむなかれ 汝のこゑをラッパのごとくあげ わが民にその愆をつげヤコブの家にその罪をつげしめせ
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.
かれらは日々われを尋求めわが途をしらんことをこのむ 義をおこなひ神の法をすてざる國のごとく義しき法をわれにもとめ神と相近づくことをこのめり
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.
かれらはいふ われら斷食するになんぢ見たまはず われら心をくるしむるになんぢ知たまはざるは何ぞやと 視よなんぢらの斷食の日にはおのがこのむ作をなし その工人をことごとく惱めつかふ
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.
視よなんぢら斷食するときは相あらそひ相きそひ惡の拳をもて人をうつ なんぢらの今のだんじきはその聲をうへに聞えしめんとにあらざるなり
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?
斯のごとき斷食はわが悦ぶところのものならんや かくのごときは人その靈魂をなやますの日ならんや その首を葦のごとくにふし麁服と灰とをその下にしくをもて斷食の日またヱホバに納らるる日ととなふべけんや
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.
わが悦ぶところの斷食はあくの繩をほどき 軛のつなをとき虐げらるるものを放ちさらしめ すべての軛ををるなどの事にあらずや
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.
また饑たる者になんぢのパンを分ちあたへ さすらへる貧民をなんぢの家にいれ裸かなるものを見てこれに衣せ おのが骨肉に身をかくさざるなどの事にあらずや
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.
しかる時はなんぢのひかり暁の如くにあらはれいで 汝すみやかに愈さるることを得 なんぢの義はなんぢの前にゆき ヱホバの榮光はなんぢの軍後となるべし
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.
また汝よぶときはヱホバ答へたまはん なんぢ叫ぶときは我ここに在りといひ給はん/もし汝のなかより軛をのぞき指點をのぞき惡きことをかたるを除き
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.
なんぢの靈魂の欲するものをも饑たる者にほどこし 苦しむものの心を滿足しめば なんぢの光くらきにてりいで なんぢの闇は晝のごとくならん
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.
ヱホバは常になんぢをみちびき 乾けるところにても汝のこころを滿足しめ なんぢの骨をかたうし給はん なんぢは潤ひたる園のごとく水のたえざる泉のごとくなるべし
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.
汝よりいづる者はひさしく荒廢れたる所をおこし なんぢは累代やぶれたる基をたてん 人なんぢをよびて破隙をおぎなふ者といひ 市街をつくろひてすむべき所となす者といふべし
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,
もし安息日になんぢの歩行をとどめ 我聖日になんぢの好むわざをおこなはず 安息日をとなへて樂日となし ヱホバの聖日をとなへて尊むべき日となし 之をたふとみて己が道をおこなはず おのが好むわざをなさず おのが言をかたらずば
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.
その時なんぢヱホバを樂しむべし ヱホバなんぢを地のたかき處にのらしめ なんぢが先祖ヤコブの產業をもて汝をやしなひ給はん こはヱホバ口より語りたまへるなり
