以赛亚书 58
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
真正的虔诚
58 “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 他们天天寻求我，
好像渴慕认识我的律法，
俨然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，
似乎渴慕到我面前。
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 你们一面禁食，一面争闹打斗，
彼此恶拳相向。
不要指望这样的禁食会使你们的祷告在天上蒙垂听。
5 难道这是我要的禁食吗？
难道刻苦己身、
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 “‘我要的禁食是，
除去罪恶的锁链，
解开轭上的绳索，
折断一切的轭，
使受欺压的人得到自由，
7 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。
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，
你们的公义必在前方为你们开路，
耶和华的荣耀必在后面保护你们。
9 你们求告，我必应允；
你们呼求，我必回应。
如果你们不再欺压、指责、毁谤，
10 如果你们给饥饿的人食物，
扶助困苦的人，
你们的光必照亮黑暗，
你们的黑夜必变成正午。
11 耶和华必不断地引导你们，
使你们在干旱之地也能得到供应，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 你们当中必有人重修古老的荒场，
重建远古的根基。
你们必被称为修补断垣、
重建街道的人。
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，
尊崇我的圣日，
不随意而行，
不妄自说话，
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。
Isaiah 58
New King James Version
Fasting that Pleases God
58 “Cry aloud, [a]spare not;
Lift up your voice like a trumpet;
(A)Tell My people their transgression,
And the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek Me daily,
And delight to know My ways,
As a nation that did righteousness,
And did not forsake the ordinance of their God.
They ask of Me the ordinances of justice;
They take delight in approaching God.
3 ‘Why(B) have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and You have not seen?
Why have we (C)afflicted our souls, and You take no notice?’
“In fact, in the day of your fast you find pleasure,
And [b]exploit all your laborers.
4 (D)Indeed you fast for strife and debate,
And to strike with the fist of wickedness.
You will not fast as you do this day,
To make your voice heard on high.
5 Is (E)it a fast that I have chosen,
(F)A day for a man to afflict his soul?
Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush,
And (G)to spread out sackcloth and ashes?
Would you call this a fast,
And an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To (H)loose the bonds of wickedness,
(I)To undo the [c]heavy burdens,
(J)To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not (K)to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are [d]cast out;
(L)When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from (M)your own flesh?
8 (N)Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
(O)The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
“If you take away the yoke from your midst,
The [e]pointing of the finger, and (P)speaking wickedness,
10 If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your [f]darkness shall be as the noonday.
11 The Lord will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
12 Those from among you
(Q)Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of [g]Streets to Dwell In.
13 “If (R)you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,
14 (S)Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
And I will cause you to (T)ride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
(U)The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

True and False Fasting
58 “Cry aloud; do not hold back;
(A)lift up your voice like a trumpet;
(B)declare to my people their transgression,
to the house of Jacob their sins.
2 (C)Yet they seek me daily
and delight to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that did righteousness
and did not forsake the judgment of their God;
they ask of me righteous judgments;
they delight to draw near to God.
3 (D)‘Why have we fasted, and you see it not?
Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?’
Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure,[a]
(E)and oppress all your workers.
4 Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight
and to hit with a wicked fist.
Fasting like yours this day
will not make your voice to be heard on high.
5 (F)Is such the fast that I choose,
(G)a day for a person to humble himself?
Is it to bow down his head like a reed,
and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
Will you call this a fast,
and a day acceptable to the Lord?
6 “Is not this the fast that I choose:
(H)to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps (I)of the yoke,
to let the oppressed[b] go free,
and to break every yoke?
7 Is it not (J)to share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
(K)and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 (L)Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
(M)and your healing shall spring up speedily;
(N)your righteousness shall go before you;
(O)the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away (P)the yoke from your midst,
(Q)the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 (R)if you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
(S)then shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
11 And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be (T)like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.
12 (U)And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of streets to dwell in.
13 (V)“If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath,
from doing your pleasure[c] on my holy day,
and call the Sabbath a delight
and the holy day of the Lord honorable;
if you honor it, not going your own ways,
or seeking (W)your own pleasure,[d] or talking idly;[e]
14 then you shall take delight in the Lord,
(X)and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;[f]
(Y)I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,
(Z)for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
