Isaiah 58
1 [Yahweh said to me], “Shout loudly! Shout like [SIM] a loud trumpet! Shout to warn my Israeli people about their sins [DOU]!
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 They worship me every day; [they come to my temple because they say that] they are eager to know what I want them to do. They act as though they are a nation that does things that are righteous, who would never abandon their God. They request me to decide matters justly, and they delight to come to worship me.
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 [They say], ‘We have (fasted/abstained from eating food) to please you, but you did not [RHQ] notice our doing that. We humbled ourselves, but you did not [RHQ] pay any attention!’ I will tell you why I did not pay attention. It is because when you fast, you do it only to please yourselves, and you act cruelly toward all your workers.
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 You fast, but you also quarrel and fight [with each other] with your fists. [Doing things like that while] you fast will [certainly] not cause [me] to hear your prayers [where I am], high in heaven.
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 You [act as though] [IRO] you humble yourselves [RHQ] by bowing your heads like [SIM] [the tops of] reeds bend [when the wind blows], and you wear [RHQ] rough clothes and cover your heads with ashes [like people do when they are grieving]. That is what you do when you are fasting, but do you really think [RHQ] that will please me?
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 No, that is not the kind of fasting that I desire. What I really want [RHQ] is for you to free those who have been unjustly put in prison [DOU], and to encourage those who are (treated cruelly/oppressed); I want you to free those who have been oppressed in any way.
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 I want you to [RHQ] share your food with those who are hungry and to allow those who have no houses to stay in your houses. Give clothes to those who do not have clothes, and do not hide from your relatives who need help from you.
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 If you do those things, [what you do for others will be like] [SIM] a light that shines when it dawns. The troubles [that have been caused by your sins] will end quickly. Others will know about your righteous behavior, and with my glorious presence I will protect you from behind [like I protected the Israeli people when they left Egypt].
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 out to me, and I will [quickly] answer [and say that I will help you].’ Stop (oppressing people/treating people cruelly); stop falsely accusing people; and stop saying evil [things about people].
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 Give food to those who are hungry, and give to people who are afflicted/suffering the things that they need. [Your doing that will be like] [MET] a light that shines in the darkness; instead of doing evil to people [MET], [the good things that you do for them will be like] [SIM] sunshine at noontime.
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 [I], Yahweh, will guide you continually, and I will give you good things to satisfy you. I will enable you to remain strong and healthy. You will be like [SIM] a garden that is well watered, like [SIM] a spring that never dries up.
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 [Your people] will rebuild the cities that were destroyed long ago; they will build [houses] on top of the old foundations. People will say that you are the ones who are repairing the holes [in the city walls], and who are repairing the streets where people live.
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 Do not travel [MTY] long distances on Sabbath/rest days, and on Sabbath days do not do only the things that you delight to do. Enjoy the Sabbath days, and consider them to be delightful. The Sabbath days are my holy days. Honor me, Yahweh, in everything that you do [on the Sabbath days]. Do not talk about and do things [only] to please yourselves. If you do all the things that I have just now told you to do,
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 I will enable you to be joyful. I will greatly honor you; [I will honor you everywhere!] I will give to you the [blessings] that I gave to your ancestor Jacob. [Those things will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
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
