< 以赛亚书 56 >
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。
Thus says YHWH, "Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to 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 from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil."
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。
Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to YHWH, speak, saying, "YHWH will surely separate me from his people"; neither let the eunuch say, "Look, I am 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 thus says YHWH, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast 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。
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 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, 又持守他约的人。
Also the foreigners who join themselves to YHWH, to minister to him, and to love the name of YHWH, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast 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。
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 主耶和华, 就是招聚以色列被赶散的,说: 在这被招聚的人以外, 我还要招聚别人归并他们。
YHWH, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered."
All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in 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,
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 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。
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 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," say they, "I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure."
