| 依撒意亞 |
Isaiah |
| 1你大聲呼喊，不要停止，提高你的喉嚨，有如號筒，向我的百姓宣佈他們的過犯，向雅各伯家指明他們的罪孽。 |
1 Cry out full-throated and unsparingly, lift up your voice like a trumpet blast; Tell my people their wickedness, and the house of Jacob their sins. |
| 2他們固然天天尋找我，喜歡認識我的道路，好似一個行義而沒有背棄天主法令的民族，向我要求正義的措施，祈望天主與之接近： |
2 They seek me day after day, and desire to know my ways, Like a nation that has done what is just and not abandoned the law of their God; They ask me to declare what is due them, pleased to gain access to God. |
| 3「為什麼我們守齋而你看不見，我們克苦而你不理會呢？」看哪！你們在守齋日仍然苦心經營，勒索你們所有的工人。 |
3"Why do we fast, and you do not see it? afflict ourselves, and you take no note of it?" Lo, on your fast day you carry out your own pursuits, and drive all your laborers. |
| 4看哪！你們一面守齋，一面爭吵，打架，以惡拳打人；你們不必再如今天一樣守齋了，免得你們的嘈雜在高處可以聽到。 |
4Yes, your fast ends in quarreling and fighting, striking with wicked claw. Would that today you might fast so as to make your voice heard on high! |
| 5難道這就是我所中意的齋戒嗎？難道這就是人們克己的日子嗎？難道低頭如同蘆葦，以苦衣和灰塵舖床，你就稱為齋戒，稱為上主悅納的日子嗎？ |
5Is this the manner of fasting I wish, of keeping a day of penance: That a man bow his head like a reed, and lie in sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD? |
| 6我所中意的齋戒，豈不是要人解除不義的鎖鏈，廢除軛上的繩索，使受壓迫者獲得自由，折斷所有的軛嗎？ |
6This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; |
| 7豈不是要人將食糧分給飢餓的人，將無地容身的貧窮人領到自己的屋裏，見到赤身露體的人給他衣穿，不要避開你的骨肉嗎？ |
7Sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; Clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own. |
| 8若這樣，你的光明將要射出，有如黎明，你的傷口將會迅速地復原；你的救援要走在你前面，上主的光榮要作你的後盾。 |
8Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; Your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. |
| 9那時，你如呼喊，上主必要俯允；你若哀求，他必答說：「我在這裏！」你若由你中間消除欺壓，指手畫腳的行為和虛偽的言談， |
9Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer, you shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am! If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech; |
| 10你若把你的食糧施捨給飢餓的人，滿足貧窮者的心靈；那麼，你的光明要在黑暗中升起，你的幽暗將如中午。 |
10If you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; Then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like midday; |
| 11上主必要時常引領你，在乾枯之地，使你心滿意足，並使你的骨頭堅強有力；你將成為一座灌溉的樂園，一個總不涸竭的水泉。 |
11Then the LORD will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land. He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails. |
| 12你的後裔將重建往日的廢址，你要豎起那久遠的基礎，人要稱你為：「缺口的修補者」，「廢墟的興建者」，為叫人居住。 |
12The ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake, and the foundations from ages past you shall raise up; "Repairer of the breach," they shall call you, "Restorer of ruined homesteads." |
| 13假使你在安息日限止你的腳步，在我的聖日停止你的營業，稱安息日為喜樂，為上主可敬的聖日；假使你尊崇聖日，而不去旅行，不苦心經營或談論生意， |
13If you hold back your foot on the sabbath from following your own pursuits on my holy day; If you call the sabbath a delight, and the LORD'S holy day honorable; If you honor it by not following your ways, seeking your own interests, or speaking with malice-- |
| 14那時你將喜樂於上主。我要使你駕臨地之高處，使你享受你祖先雅各伯的產業：這是上主親口說的。 |
14Then you shall delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will nourish you with the heritage of Jacob, your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken. |
