Isaiah 56
1 Thus saith Jehovah: Keep ye justice, and practise righteousness; For the coming of my salvation is near, And my deliverance is soon to be revealed.
Haec dicit Dominus: Custodite iudicium, et facite iustitiam: quia iuxta est salus mea ut veniat, et iustitia mea ut reveletur.
2 Happy the man that doeth this, And the son of man that holdeth it fast; That keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And restraineth his hand from doing 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 And let not the stranger that joineth himself to Jehovah say, Jehovah hath wholly separated me from his people. And let not 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 saith Jehovah concerning the eunuchs: They that keep my sabbaths, And take pleasure in doing my will, And hold fast my covenant,
Quia haec dicit Dominus Eunuchis: Qui custodierint sabbata mea, et elegerint quae ego volui, et tenuerint foedus meum:
5 To them will I give in my house, and within my walls, a portion and a name, Better than of sons and daughters; An everlasting name will I give them, That shall never fade away.
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 The strangers, also, that join themselves to Jehovah, to serve him, To love the name of Jehovah, and to be his servants. Every one that keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And holdeth fast 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 Them will I bring to my holy mountain, And I will make them rejoice in my house of prayer; Their burnt-offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted on mine altar; For my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.
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 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, That gathereth the outcasts of Israel; Yet will I gather others to him, Besides those that are already gathered.
Ait Dominus Deus, qui congregat dispersos Israel: Adhuc congregabo ad eum congregatos eius.
9 Come, all ye beasts of the field, Yea, all ye beasts of the forest, to devour!
Omnes bestiae agri venite ad devorandum, universae bestiae saltus.
10 His watchmen are all blind; they know nothing; They are all dumb dogs, that cannot bark, Dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber;
Speculatores eius caeci omnes, nescierunt universi: canes muti non valentes latrare, videntes vana, dormientes, et amantes somnia.
11 Yet are they greedy dogs that cannot be satisfied; The shepherds themselves will not attend; They all turn aside to their own way, Every one of them to their own gain.
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 on, let me bring wine, And let us fill ourselves with strong drink, And to-morrow shall be as to-day, And even much more abundant.”
Venite, sumamus vinum, et impleamur ebrietate: et erit sicut hodie, sic et cras, et multo amplius.
