守公平，行公义

¹耶和华如此说：你们当守公平，行公义；因我的救恩临近，我的公义将要显现。This is what the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.

²谨守安息日而不干犯，禁止己手而不作恶；如此行、如此持守的人便为有福。Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

给外邦人和太监的应许

³与耶和华联合的外邦人不要说：耶和华必定将我从他民中分别出来。太监也不要说：我是枯树。Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, “The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.” And let the eunuch not say, “I am but a dry tree.”

⁴因为耶和华如此说：那些谨守我的安息日，拣选我所喜悦的事，持守我约的太监，For this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, who choose what pleases Me and hold fast to My covenant—

⁵我必使他们在我殿中，在我墙内，有记念，有名号，比有儿女的更美。我必赐他们永远的名，不能剪除。I will give them, in My house and within My walls, a memorial and a name better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.

⁶还有那些与耶和华联合的外邦人，要事奉他，要爱耶和华的名，要作他的仆人—就是凡守安息日不干犯，又持守他（原文是我）约的人。And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to minister to Him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be His servants—all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant—

⁷我必领他们到我的圣山，使他们在祷告我的殿中喜乐。他们的燔祭和平安祭，在我坛上必蒙悦纳，因我的殿必称为万民祷告的殿。I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar, for My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations.”

瞎眼的守望者、贪食的牧人

⁹田野的诸兽都来吞吃吧！林中的诸兽也要如此。Come, all you beasts of the field; eat greedily, all you beasts of the forest.

¹⁰他看守的人是瞎眼的，都没有知识，都是哑巴狗，不能叫唤；但知做梦，躺卧，贪睡，Israel’s watchmen are blind, they are all oblivious; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they are dreamers lying around, loving to slumber.

¹¹这些狗贪食，不知饱足。这些牧人不能明白—各人偏行己路，各从各方求自己的利益。Like ravenous dogs, they are never satisfied. They are shepherds with no discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain:

¹²他们说：来吧！我去拿酒，我们饱饮浓酒；明日必和今日一样，就是宴乐无量极大之日。“Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”

义人被收去

¹义人死亡，无人放在心上；虔诚人被收去，无人思念。这义人被收去是免了将来的祸患；The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous are taken away from the presence of evil.

²他们得享（原文是进入）平安。素行正直的，各人在坟里（原文是床上）安歇。Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.

拜偶像如同行淫

³你们这些巫婆的儿子，奸夫和妓女的种子，都要前来！“But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!

⁴你们向谁戏笑？向谁张口吐舌呢？你们岂不是悖逆的儿女，虚谎的种类呢？Whom are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,

⁵你们在橡树中间，在各青翠树下欲火攻心；在山谷间，在石穴下杀了儿女；who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

⁶在谷中光滑石头里有你的分。这些就是你所得的分；你也向他浇了奠祭，献了供物，因这事我岂能容忍吗？Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?

⁷你在高而又高的山上安设床榻，也上那里去献祭。On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.

⁸你在门后，在门框后，立起你的纪念；向外人赤露，又上去扩张床榻，与他们立约；你在那里看见他们的床就甚喜爱。Behind the door and doorpost you have set up your memorial. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed; you climbed up and opened it wide. And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved; you have gazed upon their nakedness.

⁹你把油带到王那里，又多加香料，打发使者往远方去，自卑自贱直到阴间，You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself.

¹⁰你因路远疲倦，却不说这是枉然；你以为有复兴之力，所以不觉疲惫。You are wearied by your many journeys, but you did not say, “There is no hope!” You found renewal of your strength; therefore you did not grow weak.

¹¹你怕谁？因谁恐惧？竟说谎，不记念我，又不将这事放在心上。我不是许久闭口不言，你仍不怕我吗？Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?

¹²我要指明你的公义；至于你所行的都必与你无益。I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not profit you.

¹³你哀求的时候，让你所聚集的拯救你吧！风要把他们刮散，一口气要把他们都吹去。但那投靠我的必得地土，必承受我的圣山为业。When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”

神与痛悔的人同住

¹⁴耶和华要说：你们修筑修筑，预备道路，将绊脚石从我百姓的路中除掉。And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”

¹⁵因为那至高至上、永远长存（原文是住在永远）名为圣者的如此说：我住在至高至圣的所在，也与心灵痛悔谦卑的人同居；要使谦卑人的灵苏醒，也使痛悔人的心苏醒。For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.

¹⁶我必不永远相争，也不长久发怒，恐怕我所造的人与灵性都必发昏。For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me—the breath of life I have made.

¹⁷因他贪婪的罪孽，我就发怒击打他；我向他掩面发怒，他却仍然随心背道。I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.

¹⁸我看见他所行的道，也要医治他；又要引导他，使他和那一同伤心的人再得安慰。I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,

¹⁹我造就嘴唇的果子；愿平安康泰归与远处的人，也归与近处的人；并且我要医治他。这是耶和华说的。bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”

恶人不得平安

²⁰惟独恶人，好像翻腾的海，不得平静；其中的水常涌出污秽和淤泥来。But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.

²¹我的　神说：恶人必不得平安！“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

扬声好像吹角

¹你要大声喊叫，不可止息；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恶。“Cry aloud, do not hold back! Raise your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare to My people their transgression and to the house of Jacob their sins.

²他们天天寻求我，乐意明白我的道，好像行义的国民，不离弃他们　神的典章，向我求问公义的判语，喜悦亲近　神。For day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, like a nation that does what is right and does not forsake the justice of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of God.”

假冒的禁食

³他们说：我们禁食，你为何不看见呢？我们刻苦己心，你为何不理会呢？看哪，你们禁食的日子仍求利益，勒逼人为你们做苦工。“Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? Why have we humbled ourselves, and You have not noticed?” “Behold, on the day of your fast, you do as you please, and you oppress all your workers.

⁴你们禁食，却互相争竞，以凶恶的拳头打人。你们今日禁食，不得使你们的声音听闻于上。You fast with contention and strife to strike viciously with your fist. You cannot fast as you do today and have your voice be heard on high.

⁵这样禁食岂是我所拣选、使人刻苦己心的日子吗？岂是叫人垂头像苇子，用麻布和炉灰铺在他以下吗？你这可称为禁食、为耶和华所悦纳的日子吗？Is this the fast I have chosen: a day for a man to deny himself, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the LORD?

神所拣选的禁食

⁶我所拣选的禁食不是要松开凶恶的绳，解下轭上的索，使被欺压的得自由，折断一切的轭吗？Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to break the chains of wickedness, to untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and tear off every yoke?

⁷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吗？Isn’t it to share your bread with the hungry, to bring the poor and homeless into your home, to clothe the naked when you see him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

⁸这样，你的光就必发现如早晨的光；你所得的医治要速速发明。你的公义必在你前面行；耶和华的荣光必作你的后盾。Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will come quickly. Your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

⁹那时你求告，耶和华必应允；你呼求，他必说：我在这里。你若从你中间除掉重轭和指摘人的指头，并发恶言的事，Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry out, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and malicious talk,

¹⁰你心若向饥饿的人发怜悯，使困苦的人得满足，你的光就必在黑暗中发现；你的幽暗必变如正午。and if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will go forth in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday.

¹¹耶和华也必时常引导你，在干旱之地使你心满意足，骨头强壮。你必像浇灌的园子，又像水流不绝的泉源。The LORD will always guide you; He will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

¹²那些出于你的人必修造久已荒废之处；你要建立拆毁累代的根基。你必称为补破口的，和重修路径与人居住的。Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of the Streets of Dwelling.

称安息日为可喜乐的

¹³你若在安息日掉转（或译：谨慎）你的脚步，在我圣日不以操作为喜乐，称安息日为可喜乐的，称耶和华的圣日为可尊重的；而且尊敬这日，不办自己的私事，不随自己的私意，不说自己的私话，If you turn your foot from breaking the Sabbath, from doing as you please on My holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight, and the LORD’s holy day honorable, if you honor it by not going your own way or seeking your own pleasure or speaking idle words,

¹⁴你就以耶和华为乐。耶和华要使你乘驾地的高处，又以你祖雅各的产业养育你。这是耶和华亲口说的。then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the land and feed you with the heritage of your father Jacob.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
