你要大声喊叫，不留余力；要扬起声来好像吹角，向我百姓说明他们的过犯，向雅各家说明他们的罪。
Cry loudly; do not hold back; / Raise your voice like a trumpet, / And declare to My people their transgression / And to the house of Jacob their sins.

他们天天寻求我，乐意认识我的道路，好像行义的国民，未曾离弃他们神的典章。他们向我求问公义的判语，喜爱亲近神。
Yet they seek Me day by day / And take delight in knowing My ways, / Like a nation that has done righteousness / And has not forsaken the ordinance of their God. / They ask Me for righteous judgments; / They take delight in approaching God.

他们说，我们禁食，你为何不看见？我们刻苦己心，你为何不理会？看哪，你们禁食的日子，仍寻求自己喜爱的事，欺压为你们作苦工的人。
Why have we fasted, and yet You do not see? / Why have we afflicted our soul, and yet You do not acknowledge? / Indeed, on the day of your fast you find delight, / And oppress all your laborers.

你们禁食，却吵闹争竞，以凶恶的拳头打人；你们今日这样禁食，并不能使你们的声音听闻于上。
Indeed, you fast for contention and strife, / And to strike with a fist of wickedness; / You do not fast, in the way you do today, / To make your voice heard on high.

这岂是我所拣选，使人在刻苦己心的日子，禁食的样子么？岂是叫人垂头像苇子，用麻布和炉灰当床铺么？你可以称这为禁食，为耶和华所悦纳的日子么？
Is such the fast that I choose, / The day when a man afflicts his soul? / Is it for bowing his head like a rush / And for spreading out sackcloth and ashes as his bed? / Will you call this a fast, / And an acceptable day to Jehovah?

我所拣选的禁食，岂不是要松开凶恶的绳，解下轭上的索，使被欺压的自由出去，并折断一切的轭么？
Is this not the fast that I choose, / To loosen the bonds of wickedness, / To undo the bands of the yoke, / And to let the oppressed go free, / And to break every yoke?

岂不是要把你的饼分给饥饿的人，将飘流的穷人接到你家中；见赤身的，给他衣服遮体；顾恤自己的骨肉而不掩藏么？
Is it not to divide your bread to the hungry, / And to bring the wandering poor home; / When you see the naked, to cover him, / And not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

这样，你的光就必突然发出如晨光，你所得的医治要速速发生。你的公义必在你前面行；耶和华的荣耀必作你的后盾。
Then your light will break forth like the dawn, / And your recovery will speedily spring forth. / And your righteousness will go before you; / The glory of Jehovah will guard you from behind.

那时你呼求，耶和华必应允；你呼救，祂必说，我在这里。
Then you will call, and Jehovah will answer; / You will cry out, and He will say, Here I am.

你若从你中间除掉重轭和指摘人的指头并发恶言的事；
If you remove the yoke from your midst, / The pointing of the finger and the speaking of wickedness,

你若从心里向饥饿的人发怜悯，使困苦人的愿望得满足；你的光就必在黑暗中出现，你的幽暗必变如正午；
And if you draw out your soul to the hungry / And satisfy the desires of the afflicted; / Then your light will rise in the darkness, / And your gloom will be like midday;

耶和华也必时常引导你，在干旱之时使你的心满足，使你的骨头强壮；你必像浇灌的园子，又像水流不绝的水泉。
And Jehovah will guide you continually, / And satisfy your soul in the dry times, / And strengthen your bones; / And you will be like a watered garden, / And like a spring of water, / Whose waters do not deceive.

那些出于你的人，必修造古久的荒场；你要建立累代的根基；你必称为修补破口的，和重修路径给人居住的。
And those who are of you will rebuild the ancient ruins; / You will raise up the foundations of generation upon generation; / And you will be called the repairer of the breach, / The restorer of the paths in which to dwell.

你若在安息日掉转你的脚步，在我的圣日不作自己喜爱的事，称安息日为可喜乐的，称那归耶和华为圣之日为可尊重的，并且尊重这日，不行自己的路，不寻求自己的喜乐，也不说闲话；
If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath, / From doing whatever you please on My holy day, / And call the Sabbath a delight, / That which is holy to Jehovah honorable, / And honor it, not doing your own ways, / Nor finding your own pleasure and speaking idle words;

你就以耶和华为乐；我要使你乘驾地的高处，又以你祖雅各的产业喂养你；这是耶和华亲口说的。
Then you will have delight in Jehovah; / And I will cause you to ride upon the heights of the earth, / And I will feed you with the inheritance of Jacob your father; / For the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.
