Isaiah 56
1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness: 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 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.
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 stranger, 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.
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 the LORD of the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast by my covenant:
Quia haec dicit Dominus Eunuchis: Qui custodierint sabbata mea, et elegerint quae ego volui, et tenuerint foedus meum:
5 Unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a memorial 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 strangers, 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;
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 peoples.
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 gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather [others] to him, beside his own that are gathered.
Ait Dominus Deus, qui congregat dispersos Israel: Adhuc congregabo ad eum congregatos eius.
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, [yea], all ye beasts in the forest.
Omnes bestiae agri venite ad devorandum, universae bestiae saltus.
10 His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs, they 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 Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every 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 ye, [say they], I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, [a day] great beyond measure.
Venite, sumamus vinum, et impleamur ebrietate: et erit sicut hodie, sic et cras, et multo amplius.
