以賽亞書 56
1 耶和華如此說： 你們當守公平，行公義； 因我的救恩臨近， 我的公義將要顯現。
This is what Yahweh says, “Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is near, and my righteousness is about to be revealed.
2 謹守安息日而不干犯， 禁止己手而不作惡； 如此行、如此持守的人便為有福。
Blessed is the man that does this, and who holds it tightly. He observes the Sabbath, not defiling it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 與耶和華聯合的外邦人不要說： 耶和華必定將我從他民中分別出來。 太監也不要說：我是枯樹。
Let no foreigner who has become a follower of Yahweh say, “Yahweh will certainly exclude me from his people.” The eunuch should not say, “See, I am a dry tree.”
4 因為耶和華如此說： 那些謹守我的安息日， 揀選我所喜悅的事， 持守我約的太監，
For this is what Yahweh says, “To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths and choose what pleases me, and hold fast my covenant,
5 我必使他們在我殿中， 在我牆內，有記念，有名號， 比有兒女的更美。 我必賜他們永遠的名，不能剪除。
to them I will set up in my house and within my walls a monument that is better than having sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting monument that will never be cut off.
6 還有那些與耶和華聯合的外邦人， 要事奉他，要愛耶和華的名， 要作他的僕人－ 就是凡守安息日不干犯， 又持守他約的人。
Also foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh— to serve him, and who love the name of Yahweh, to worship him, every one who observes the Sabbath and who keeps from defiling it, and who holds fast my covenant
7 我必領他們到我的聖山， 使他們在禱告我的殿中喜樂。 他們的燔祭和平安祭， 在我壇上必蒙悅納， 因我的殿必稱為萬民禱告的殿。
—I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar. For my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations,
8 主耶和華， 就是招聚以色列被趕散的，說： 在這被招聚的人以外， 我還要招聚別人歸併他們。
this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, who gathers the outcasts of Israel— I will still gather others in addition to them.”
9 田野的諸獸都來吞吃吧！ 林中的諸獸也要如此。
All you wild beasts of the field, come and devour, all you beasts in the forest!
10 他看守的人是瞎眼的， 都沒有知識， 都是啞巴狗，不能叫喚； 但知做夢，躺臥，貪睡，
All their watchmen are blind, they do not understand. They are all silent dogs who cannot bark. They dream, and lying down they love to sleep.
11 這些狗貪食，不知飽足。 這些牧人不能明白－ 各人偏行己路， 各從各方求自己的利益。
The dogs have big appetites; they can never get enough; they are shepherds without discernment; they have all turned to their own way, each one covetous for unjust gain.
12 他們說：來吧！我去拿酒， 我們飽飲濃酒； 明日必和今日一樣， 就是宴樂無量極大之日。
“Come,” they say, “let us drink wine and liquor. Tomorrow will be like today, a day great beyond measure.”
