以賽亞書 56
1 上主這樣說：「你們應當持守公道，履行正義，因為我的救恩就要來到，我的正義就要出現。」
Thus says Jehovah, "Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 遵行安息日而不予以褻瀆，防範自己的手而不做惡事，行這事的人，與固守此道的人子，是有福的。
Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil."
3 歸依上主的異邦人不應說：「上主必將我由他的民族中分別出來！」閹人也不應說：「看！我是一棵枯樹！」
Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, "Jehovah will surely separate me from his people"; neither let the eunuch say, "Look, I am a dry tree."
4 因為上主這樣說：「對那些遵守我的安息日，揀選我所悅意的和固守我盟約的閹人，
For thus says Jehovah, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
5 我要在我的屋內，在我的牆垣內，賜給他們比子女還好的記念碑和美名，我要賜給他們一個永久不能泯滅的名字。
to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 至於那些歸依上主，事奉他，愛慕上主的名，作他的僕人，又都遵守安息日而不予以褻瀆，並固守我盟約的異邦人，
Also the foreigners who join themselves to Jehovah, to minister to him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant;
7 我要領他們上我的聖山，使他們在我祈禱的殿裏歡樂，他們的全燔祭和犧牲在我的祭壇上要蒙受悅納，因為我的殿宇將稱為萬民的祈禱所。」
even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples."
8 這是聚集四散的以色列民的吾主上主的斷語：「我還要召集其他民族歸於已聚集的人。」
Jehovah, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered."
9 田間的一切走獸，林中的一切野獸，你們都來吞噬罷！
All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
10 我民族的守望者都是瞎子，什麼也看不清；都是啞巴狗，不能叫喚，只會作夢，偃臥，貪睡。
His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 他們又是貪食的狗，總不知足；都是什麼也不明瞭的牧人，只顧自己的道路，各求各自的利益。「
Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds who can't understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
12 來罷！我去拿酒，讓我們痛飲美酒；明天如今天一樣，並且更要豐盛。」
"Come," say they, "I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure."
