< Isaiah 56 >

1 Thus saith the LORD: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My favour to be revealed.
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 Happy is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
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 Neither let the alien, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying: 'The LORD will surely separate me from His people'; neither let the eunuch say: 'Behold, I am a dry 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 concerning the eunuchs that keep My sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and hold fast by My covenant:
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 Even unto them will I give in My house and within My walls a monument and a memorial better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting memorial, that shall not be cut off.
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 aliens, that join themselves to the LORD, to minister unto Him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by My covenant:
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 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 acceptable upon Mine altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
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 Saith the Lord GOD who gathereth the dispersed of Israel: Yet I will gather others to him, beside those of him that are gathered.
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 beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
田野的诸兽都来吞吃吧! 林中的诸兽也要如此。
10 His watchmen are all blind, without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; raving, lying down, loving to slumber.
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 Yea, the dogs are greedy, they know not when they have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand; they all turn to their own way, each one to his gain, one and all.
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 ye, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be 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。
