Isaiah 58

1 “Cry aloud, do not hold back! Raise your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare to My people their transgression and to the house of Jacob their sins.

1 “你要高声呼喊，不要停止； 要放声高呼，像响亮的号角。 要向我的子民宣告他们的过犯， 向雅各家宣告他们的罪恶。

2 For day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, like a nation that does what is right and does not forsake the justice of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of God.”

2 他们天天寻求我， 乐于认识我的道， 像没有丢弃他们上帝法令的正义之邦。 他们向我求公义的判决， 似乎乐于到我面前。

3 “Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? Why have we humbled ourselves, and You have not noticed?” “Behold, on the day of your fast, you do as you please, and you oppress all your workers.

3 他们说，‘我们禁食，你为什么不看呢？ 我们刻苦己身，你为什么不理睬呢？’ 我说，‘看啊，禁食之日你们仍然随心所欲， 压榨你们的工人。

4 You fast with contention and strife to strike viciously with your fist. You cannot fast as you do today and have your voice be heard on high.

4 你们一面禁食，一面争闹打斗，恶拳相向。 今天这种禁食不能使你们的祷告在高天蒙垂听。

5 Is this the fast I have chosen: a day for a man to deny himself, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the LORD?

5 难道这是我要的让人刻苦己身的禁食日吗？ 难道像芦苇一样垂着头、 躺在麻布和炉灰上就是禁食吗？ 这就是你们所谓的禁食， 所谓的蒙耶和华悦纳的日子吗？

6 Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to break the chains of wickedness, to untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and tear off every yoke?

6 “‘我要的禁食岂不是， 除去邪恶的锁链， 解开轭上的绳索， 折断一切的轭， 使受欺压的人得到自由吗？

7 Isn’t it to share your bread with the hungry, to bring the poor and homeless into your home, to clothe the naked when you see him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

7 岂不是把你们的食物分给饥饿的人， 接待无家可归的穷人， 送衣服给赤身露体的人， 不躲避求助的亲人吗？

8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will come quickly. Your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

8 如果你们这样做，你们的光必如晨光照耀， 你们的创伤必迅速痊愈， 你们的公义必在前引路， 耶和华的荣耀必在后面保护你们。

9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry out, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and malicious talk,

9 你们求告，耶和华必应允； 你们呼求，耶和华必回应。 如果你们不再欺压、指责和毁谤，

10 and if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will go forth in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday.

10 如果你们给饥饿的人食物， 使困苦的人得饱足， 你们的光必照亮黑暗， 你们的黑夜必变成正午。

11 The LORD will always guide you; He will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

11 耶和华必不断地引导你们， 使你们在干旱之地得到饱足，筋骨强健。 你们必像灌溉充足的园子， 又像涌流不息的泉源。

12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of the Streets of Dwelling.

12 你们必重修古老的荒场， 重建远古的根基。 你们必被称为修补断垣、 重建居民街道的人。

13 If you turn your foot from breaking the Sabbath, from doing as you please on My holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight, and the LORD’s holy day honorable, if you honor it by not going your own way or seeking your own pleasure or speaking idle words,

13 “‘如果你们遵守安息日， 在我的圣日不做私事， 以安息日为乐， 尊崇耶和华的圣日， 不随意行事， 不妄自说话，

14 then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the land and feed you with the heritage of your father Jacob.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

14 就必以耶和华为乐， 耶和华必使你们在地上受尊崇， 并享用你们先祖雅各的产业。’” 这是耶和华亲口说的。
