Isaiah 56
1 Thus says the LORD, Keep all of you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Haec dicit Dominus: Custodite iudicium, et facite iustitiam: quia iuxta est salus mea ut veniat, et iustitia mea ut reveletur.
2 Blessed is the man that does this, and the son of man that lays hold on it; that keeps the sabbath from polluting it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
Beatus vir, qui facit hoc, et filius hominis, qui apprehendet istud: custodiens sabbatum ne polluat illud, custodiens manus suas ne faciat omne malum.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that has joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD has utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
Et non dicat filius advenae, qui adhaeret Domino, dicens: Separatione dividet me Dominus a populo suo: Et non dicat Eunuchus: Ecce ego lignum aridum.
4 For thus says the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
Quia haec dicit Dominus Eunuchis: Qui custodierint sabbata mea, et elegerint quae ego volui, et tenuerint foedus meum:
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
Dabo eis in domo mea, et in muris meis locum, et nomen melius a filiis et filiabus: nomen sempiternum dabo eis, quod non peribit.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keeps the sabbath from polluting it, and takes hold of my covenant;
Et filios advenae, qui adhaerent Domino, ut colant eum, et diligant nomen eius, ut sint ei in servos: omnem custodientem sabbatum ne polluat illud, et tenentem foedus meum:
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 accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Adducam eos in montem sanctum meum, et laetificabo eos in domo orationis meae: holocausta eorum, et victimae eorum placebunt mihi super altari meo: quia domus mea domus orationis vocabitur cunctis populis.
8 The Lord GOD, which gathers the outcasts of Israel says, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
Ait Dominus Deus, qui congregat dispersos Israel: Adhuc congregabo ad eum congregatos eius.
9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all you beasts in the forest.
Omnes bestiae agri venite ad devorandum, universae bestiae saltus.
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Speculatores eius caeci omnes, nescierunt universi: canes muti non valentes latrare, videntes vana, dormientes, et amantes somnia.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Et canes imprudentissimi nescierunt saturitatem: ipsi pastores ignoraverunt intelligentiam: omnes in viam suam declinaverunt, unusquisque ad avaritiam suam a summo usque ad novissimum.
12 Come all of you, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
Venite, sumamus vinum, et impleamur ebrietate: et erit sicut hodie, sic et cras, et multo amplius.
