Isaiah 58
1 “Cry aloud! Don’t spare! Lift up your voice like a shofar! Declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
你要大聲喊叫，不可止息； 揚起聲來，好像吹角。 向我百姓說明他們的過犯； 向雅各家說明他們的罪惡。
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and didn’t forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgements. They delight to draw near to God.
他們天天尋求我， 樂意明白我的道， 好像行義的國民， 不離棄他們上帝的典章， 向我求問公義的判語， 喜悅親近上帝。
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you don’t see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you don’t notice?’ “Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your labourers.
他們說：我們禁食，你為何不看見呢？ 我們刻苦己心，你為何不理會呢？ 看哪，你們禁食的日子仍求利益， 勒逼人為你們做苦工。
4 Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You don’t fast today so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
你們禁食，卻互相爭競， 以凶惡的拳頭打人。 你們今日禁食， 不得使你們的聲音聽聞於上。
5 Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
這樣禁食豈是我所揀選、 使人刻苦己心的日子嗎？ 豈是叫人垂頭像葦子， 用麻布和爐灰鋪在他以下嗎？ 你這可稱為禁食、為耶和華所悅納的日子嗎？
6 “Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
我所揀選的禁食不是要鬆開凶惡的繩， 解下軛上的索， 使被欺壓的得自由， 折斷一切的軛嗎？
7 Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
不是要把你的餅分給飢餓的人， 將飄流的窮人接到你家中， 見赤身的給他衣服遮體， 顧恤自己的骨肉而不掩藏嗎？
8 Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and the LORD’s glory will be your rear guard.
這樣，你的光就必發現如早晨的光； 你所得的醫治要速速發明。 你的公義必在你前面行； 耶和華的榮光必作你的後盾。
9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from amongst you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;
那時你求告，耶和華必應允； 你呼求，他必說：我在這裏。 你若從你中間除掉重軛 和指摘人的指頭，並發惡言的事，
10 and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;
你心若向飢餓的人發憐憫， 使困苦的人得滿足， 你的光就必在黑暗中發現； 你的幽暗必變如正午。
11 and the LORD will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.
耶和華也必時常引導你， 在乾旱之地使你心滿意足， 骨頭強壯。 你必像澆灌的園子， 又像水流不絕的泉源。
12 Those who will be of you will build the old waste places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.
那些出於你的人必修造久已荒廢之處； 你要建立拆毀累代的根基。 你必稱為補破口的， 和重修路徑與人居住的。
13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of the LORD honourable, and honour it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,
你若在安息日掉轉你的腳步， 在我聖日不以操作為喜樂， 稱安息日為可喜樂的， 稱耶和華的聖日為可尊重的； 而且尊敬這日， 不辦自己的私事， 不隨自己的私意， 不說自己的私話，
14 then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for the LORD’s mouth has spoken it.
你就以耶和華為樂。 耶和華要使你乘駕地的高處， 又以你祖雅各的產業養育你。 這是耶和華親口說的。
