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, saith Yahweh, Observe ye justice, And execute righteousness, —For near, is My salvation, to come in, 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。
How happy the frail man, who doeth this! Yea the son of the earth-born who firmly graspeth it! Keeping the sabbath lest he profane it, and Keeping his own hand from doing any wrong.
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！」
And let not the son of the foreigner, who hath joined himself unto Yahweh, speak, saying, Yahweh, will separate, me from his people, Neither let the eunuch, say, Lo! I, am a tree dried up!
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, saith Yahweh—Of the eunuchs, Who shall keep my sabbaths, And choose what I delight in, —And lay firm hold on 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。
That I will give unto them—In my house, And within my walls, A sign and a name, better than sons and daughters, —A name age-abiding, will I give him, which 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，
And, as for the sons of the foreigner—Who have joined themselves unto Yahweh To wait upon him, and To love the name of Yahweh, To become his for servants, —Every one who keepeth the sabbath, lest he profane it. And who, layeth firm hold on 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。」
Surely I will bring them into my holy mountain And make them joyful in my house of prayer, Their ascending-offerings and their sacrifices, being accepted upon mine altar, —For, my house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the 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。」
Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: —Yet others, will I gather unto him Besides his own gathered ones.
9 田間的一切走獸，林中的一切野獸，你們都來吞噬罷！
All ye beasts of the field! come ye to devour, All ye beasts 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 None of them, know, All of them, are dumb dogs, they cannot bark, —Dreaming, sleeping, 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。「
And, the dogs, are greedy they know not to be satisfied. Yea, they, are shepherds who know not to discern, —All of them unto their own way, have turned, Every man to his unjust gain, on every hand:
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 ye! I will fetch wine Let us fill ourselves with strong drink, —And like this day, shall, to-morrow be—Great beyond measure!
