< Isaiah 56 >
1 Thus he says Yahweh keep justice and do righteousness for [is] near salvation my to come and righteousness my to be revealed.
Thus saith Jehovah: Keep ye judgment and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 How blessed! [is the] person [who] he does this and [the] child of humankind [who] he takes hold on it [who] keeps [the] sabbath from profaning it and [who] keeps hand his from doing any evil.
Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast to it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 And may not he say [the] son of foreignness who has joined himself to Yahweh saying certainly he will separate me Yahweh from with people his and may not he say the eunuch here! I [am] a tree dry.
And let not the son of the alien, that hath joined himself to Jehovah, speak saying, Jehovah hath entirely separated me from his people; neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree;
4 For thus - he says Yahweh to the eunuchs who they keep sabbaths my and they choose [that] which I desire and [they are] keeping hold on covenant my.
for thus saith Jehovah: Unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast to my covenant,
5 And I will give to them in house my and in walls my a monument and a name good more than sons and more than daughters a name of perpetuity I will give to him which not it will be cut off.
even unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 And [the] sons of foreignness who join themselves to Yahweh to serve him and to love [the] name of Yahweh to become of him servants every [one who] keeps [the] sabbath from profaning it and [those who] keep hold on covenant my.
Also the sons of the alien, that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast to my covenant;
7 And I will bring them to [the] mountain of holiness my and I will make rejoice them in [the] house of prayer my burnt offerings their and sacrifices their [will be] for acceptance on altar my for house my a house of prayer it will be called for all the peoples.
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 my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.
8 [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh [who] gathers [the] banished [ones] of Israel still I will gather to it to gathered [ones] its.
The Lord Jehovah, who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, saith: Yet will I gather [others] to him, with those of his that are gathered.
9 O every animal of [the] field come to devour O every animal in the forest.
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, all ye beasts in the forest.
10 (Watchmen its *Q(K)*) [are] blind all of them not they know all of them [are] dogs dumb not they are able to bark [they] dream [they] lie down [they] love to slumber.
His watchmen are all of them blind, they are without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs that cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber:
11 And the dogs [are] mighty of appetite not they know satiety and they [are] shepherds not they know to understand all of them to own way their they have turned everyone to own unjust gain his from end his.
and the dogs are greedy, they know not to be satisfied, and these are shepherds that know not how to discern: they all turn to their own way, every one for his gain, even to the last of them:
12 Come let me take wine and let us drink strong drink and it will be like this day tomorrow great abundance exceedingly.
Come, [say they, ] I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.
