以赛亚书 58
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
禁食的真正意义
58 你要张开喉咙呼叫,不可停止;
你要提高声音,像吹号角一样;
你要向我子民宣告他们的过犯,
向雅各家陈明他们的罪恶。
2 他们天天寻求我,乐意明白我的道路,
好象行义的国民,
不离弃他们 神的公理;
他们向我求问公义的判语,
又喜欢亲近 神。
3 他们说:“为甚么我们禁食,你不看呢?
为甚么我们刻苦己身,你不理会呢?”
看哪!你们在禁食的日子,仍然追求自己喜欢作的事,
欺压为你们作工的人。
4 看哪!你们禁食,结果是吵闹和打架,用凶恶的拳头打人;
你们不要像今天这样的禁食,使你们的声音可以听闻于天上。
5 使人刻苦自己的日子,这样的禁食是我拣选的吗?
难道只是叫人垂头像一根苇子,
用麻布和炉灰铺在下面吗?
你可以称这是禁食,为耶和华所悦纳的日子吗?
6 我所拣选的禁食不是这样吗?
不是要松开凶恶的锁炼,
解开轭上的绳索,
使被压迫的获得自由,
折断所有的轭吗?
7 不是要把你的食物分给饥饿的人,
把流浪的穷困人接到你的家里,
见到赤身露体的,给他衣服蔽体,
不可逃避自己的骨肉而不顾恤吗?
8 这样,你的光就必突然发出,像黎明的曙光,
你的伤口就必快快复原;
你的公义就必行在你的前面,
耶和华的荣耀要作你的后盾。
9 那时,你求告,耶和华必应允;
你呼求,他必说:“我在这里!”
你若从你中间除掉欺压人的轭,
除去指责人的指头和恶毒的言语,
10 你的心若顾念饥饿的人,
使困苦的人得到饱足,
你的光就必在黑暗中升起来,
你的幽暗必变得如正午。
11 耶和华必常常引导你,
在干旱之地使你的心灵饱足,
使你的骨头坚强有力;
你必像有水源浇灌的园子,
又像水流不绝的泉源。
12 你的子孙必重建久已荒废之处,
你必重建历代拆毁了的根基;
你要称为修补破口的人,
重修路径给人居住的人。
守安息日的福乐
13 “因安息日的缘故,你若转离你的脚步;
在我的圣日不作你喜欢作的;
你若称安息日为可喜乐的,
称耶和华的圣日为可尊重的;
你若尊重这日,不作自己的事,
不寻求自己所喜悦的,或不说无谓的话,
14 你就必以耶和华为乐,
我要使你乘驾地的高处,
用你祖雅各的产业喂养你。”
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 Fasting
58 “Shout it aloud,(A) do not hold back.
Raise your voice like a trumpet.(B)
Declare to my people their rebellion(C)
and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.(D)
2 For day after day they seek(E) me out;
they seem eager to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that does what is right
and has not forsaken(F) the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
and seem eager for God to come near(G) them.
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’(H) they say,
‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled(I) ourselves,
and you have not noticed?’(J)
“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please(K)
and exploit all your workers.
4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,(L)
and in striking each other with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
and expect your voice to be heard(M) on high.
5 Is this the kind of fast(N) I have chosen,
only a day for people to humble(O) themselves?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed(P)
and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?(Q)
Is that what you call a fast,
a day acceptable to the Lord?
6 “Is not this the kind of fasting(R) I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice(S)
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed(T) free
and break every yoke?(U)
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry(V)
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter(W)—
when you see the naked, to clothe(X) them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?(Y)
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,(Z)
and your healing(AA) will quickly appear;
then your righteousness[a](AB) will go before you,
and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.(AC)
9 Then you will call,(AD) and the Lord will answer;(AE)
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger(AF) and malicious talk,(AG)
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,(AH)
then your light(AI) will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.(AJ)
11 The Lord will guide(AK) you always;
he will satisfy your needs(AL) in a sun-scorched land(AM)
and will strengthen(AN) your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,(AO)
like a spring(AP) whose waters never fail.
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins(AQ)
and will raise up the age-old foundations;(AR)
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,(AS)
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
13 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath(AT)
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight(AU)
and the Lord’s holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,(AV)
14 then you will find your joy(AW) in the Lord,
and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights(AX) of the land
and to feast on the inheritance(AY) of your father Jacob.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(AZ)
