< Isaiah 56 >
1 Thus saith the Lord, Keepe iudgement and doe iustice: for my saluation is at hand to come, and my righteousnes to be reueiled.
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。
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the sonne of man which layeth holde on it: hee that keepeth the Sabbath and polluteth it not, and keepeth his hand from doing any euill.
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。
3 And let not the sonne of the stranger, which is ioyned to the Lord, speake and say, The Lord hath surely separate me from his people: neither let the Eunuch say, Beholde, I am a drye tree.
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。
4 For thus saith the Lord vnto the Eunuches, that keepe my Sabbaths, and chuse the thing that pleaseth me, and take holde of my couenant,
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,
5 Euen vnto them wil I giue in mine House and within my walles, a place and a name better then of the sonnes and of the daughters: I will giue them an euerlasting name, that shall not be put out.
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。
6 Also the strangers that cleaue vnto the Lord, to serue him, and to loue the Name of the Lord, and to be his seruants: euery one that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not and imbraceth my couenant,
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。
7 Them wil I bring also to mine holy mountaine, and make them ioyfull in mine House of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted vpon mine altar: for mine House shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
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。
8 The Lord God sayth, which gathereth the scattered of Israel, Yet wil I gather to them those that are to be gathered to them.
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。
9 All ye beastes of the fielde, come to deuoure, euen all ye beastes of the forest.
田野的诸兽都来吞吃吧! 林中的诸兽也要如此。
10 Their watchmen are all blinde: they haue no knowledge: they are all dumme dogs: they can not barke: they lie and sleepe and delite in sleeping.
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,
11 And these griedy dogs can neuer haue ynough: and these shepheards cannot vnderstand: for they all looke to their owne way, euery one for his aduantage, and for his owne purpose.
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。
12 Come, I wil bring wine, and we wil fill our selues with strong drinke, and to morowe shalbe as this day, and much more abundant.
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。
