이사야 58
Korean Living Bible
하나님을 기쁘시게 하는 금식
58 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “너는 될 수 있는 대로 크게 외쳐라. 나팔처 럼 네 목청을 높여 내 백성에게 그들의 죄를 말해 주어라.
2 그들은 마치 옳은 일을 행하며 내 명령을 저버리지 않은 것처럼 날마다 나를 찾고 내 법도를 알기 원한다. 그들은 또 나의 공정한 판단을 요구하고 나를 가까이하는 것을 기뻐하는 것처럼 하며
3 이렇게 말한다. ‘우리는 금식하였는데 어째서 주는 보지 않으십니까? 우리는 우리 자신을 낮추었는데 어째서 주는 알아 주지 않으십니까?’ 그러나 사실 너희는 금식을 하면서도 너희가 하고 싶은 대로 하며 너희 일꾼들에게 고된 일을 시키고 있다.
4 너희가 계속 다투고 싸우며 서로 주먹질하면서 하는 금식이 무슨 소용이 있느냐? 너희가 이런 금식을 한다고 해서 내가 너희 기도를 들어 주리라고 생각하느냐?
5 너희는 금식할 때 자신을 괴롭히고 머리를 갈대처럼 숙이며 굵은 삼베와 재를 깔고 눕는다. 이것을 금식이라 할 수 있겠느냐? 너희는 이런 금식을 내가 기뻐할 것이라고 생각하느냐?
6 “내가 기뻐하는 금식은 압박의 사슬을 풀어 주고 모든 멍에를 꺾어 버리며 억압당하는 자를 자유롭게 하는 것이다.
7 너희는 굶주린 자에게 너희 음식을 나눠 주고 집 없이 떠돌아다니는 가난한 사람을 너희 집으로 맞아들이며 헐벗은 자를 보면 입히고 도움이 필요한 너희 친척이 있으면 외면하지 말고 도와주어라.
8 그러면 [a]내 은혜의 빛이 아침 햇살처럼 너희에게 비칠 것이니 너희 상처가 속히 치료되고 내가 항상 너희와 함께하여 사방으로 너희를 보호하겠다.
9 그리고 너희가 기도할 때 내가 응답할 것이며 너희가 도와 달라고 부르짖을 때 ‘내가 여기 있다’ 하고 대답할 것이다. “만일 너희가 약자를 억누르고 남을 멸시하며 악한 말 하던 것을 그치고
10 굶주린 자에게 먹을 것을 주며 고통당하는 자를 도와주면 너희 주변의 어두움이 대낮처럼 밝아질 것이다.
11 그리고 내가 항상 너희를 인도하며 좋은 것으로 너희를 만족하게 하고 너희를 든든하게 지켜 줄 것이니 너희가 물을 댄 동산 같을 것이며 절대로 마르지 않는 샘과 같을 것이다.
12 너희 자손들이 오랫동안 폐허가 된 곳을 재건하고 옛 기초를 다시 쌓을 것이며 너희는 ‘성벽을 재건하고 시가지를 복구하는 백성’ 으로 알려질 것이다.”
13 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “만일 너희가 내 안식일을 거룩하고 소중한 날로 여겨 여행이나 사업을 하지 않고 오락이나 잡담을 하지 않으면
14 너희는 내 안에서 즐거움을 찾을 것이다. [b]내가 너희를 세상의 그 어느 민족보다도 높이고 내가 너희 조상 야곱에게 준 땅을 향유하도록 하겠다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.”
Isaiah 58
King James Version
58 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew 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 forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
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.”
