Isaiah 56
1 Thus said Jehovah: 'Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness, For near [is] My salvation to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.'
耶和華如此說： 你們當守公平，行公義； 因我的救恩臨近， 我的公義將要顯現。
2 O the happiness of a man who doth this, And of a son of man who keepeth hold on it, Keeping the sabbath from polluting it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.
謹守安息日而不干犯， 禁止己手而不作惡； 如此行、如此持守的人便為有福。
3 Nor speak let a son of the stranger, Who is joined unto Jehovah, saying: 'Jehovah doth certainly separate me from His people.' Nor say let the eunuch, 'Lo, I am a tree dried up,'
與耶和華聯合的外邦人不要說： 耶和華必定將我從他民中分別出來。 太監也不要說：我是枯樹。
4 For thus said Jehovah of the eunuchs, Who do keep My sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on My covenant:
因為耶和華如此說： 那些謹守我的安息日， 揀選我所喜悅的事， 持守我約的太監，
5 I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, A name age-during I give to him That is not cut off.
我必使他們在我殿中， 在我牆內，有記念，有名號， 比有兒女的更美。 我必賜他們永遠的名，不能剪除。
6 And sons of the stranger, who are joined to Jehovah, To serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, To be to Him for servants, Every keeper of the sabbath from polluting it, And those keeping hold on My covenant.
還有那些與耶和華聯合的外邦人， 要事奉他，要愛耶和華的名， 要作他的僕人－ 就是凡守安息日不干犯， 又持守他約的人。
7 I have brought them unto My holy mountain, And caused them to rejoice in My house of prayer, Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [Are] for a pleasing thing on Mine altar, For My house, 'A house of prayer,' Is called for all the peoples.
我必領他們到我的聖山， 使他們在禱告我的殿中喜樂。 他們的燔祭和平安祭， 在我壇上必蒙悅納， 因我的殿必稱為萬民禱告的殿。
8 An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: 'Again I gather to him — to his gathered ones.'
主耶和華， 就是招聚以色列被趕散的，說： 在這被招聚的人以外， 我還要招聚別人歸併他們。
9 Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in the forest.
田野的諸獸都來吞吃吧！ 林中的諸獸也要如此。
10 Blind [are] his watchmen — all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] dumb dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.
他看守的人是瞎眼的， 都沒有知識， 都是啞巴狗，不能叫喚； 但知做夢，躺臥，貪睡，
11 And the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them to their own way they did turn, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter:
這些狗貪食，不知飽足。 這些牧人不能明白－ 各人偏行己路， 各從各方求自己的利益。
12 'Come ye, I take wine, And we drink, quaff strong drink, And as this day hath been to-morrow, Great — exceeding abundant!'
他們說：來吧！我去拿酒， 我們飽飲濃酒； 明日必和今日一樣， 就是宴樂無量極大之日。
