Isaiah 56

1 Thus saith the Lord, Keepe iudgement and doe iustice: for my saluation is at hand to come, and my righteousnes to be reueiled.

耶和华如此说： 你们当守公平，行公义； 因我的救恩临近， 我的公义将要显现。

2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the sonne of man which layeth holde on it: hee that keepeth the Sabbath and polluteth it not, and keepeth his hand from doing any euill.

谨守安息日而不干犯， 禁止己手而不作恶； 如此行、如此持守的人便为有福。

3 And let not the sonne of the stranger, which is ioyned to the Lord, speake and say, The Lord hath surely separate me from his people: neither let the Eunuch say, Beholde, I am a drye tree.

与耶和华联合的外邦人不要说： 耶和华必定将我从他民中分别出来。 太监也不要说：我是枯树。

4 For thus saith the Lord vnto the Eunuches, that keepe my Sabbaths, and chuse the thing that pleaseth me, and take holde of my couenant,

因为耶和华如此说： 那些谨守我的安息日， 拣选我所喜悦的事， 持守我约的太监，

5 Euen vnto them wil I giue in mine House and within my walles, a place and a name better then of the sonnes and of the daughters: I will giue them an euerlasting name, that shall not be put out.

我必使他们在我殿中， 在我墙内，有记念，有名号， 比有儿女的更美。 我必赐他们永远的名，不能剪除。

6 Also the strangers that cleaue vnto the Lord, to serue him, and to loue the Name of the Lord, and to be his seruants: euery one that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not and imbraceth my couenant,

还有那些与耶和华联合的外邦人， 要事奉他，要爱耶和华的名， 要作他的仆人— 就是凡守安息日不干犯， 又持守他约的人。

7 Them wil I bring also to mine holy mountaine, and make them ioyfull in mine House of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted vpon mine altar: for mine House shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

我必领他们到我的圣山， 使他们在祷告我的殿中喜乐。 他们的燔祭和平安祭， 在我坛上必蒙悦纳， 因我的殿必称为万民祷告的殿。

8 The Lord God sayth, which gathereth the scattered of Israel, Yet wil I gather to them those that are to be gathered to them.

主耶和华， 就是招聚以色列被赶散的，说： 在这被招聚的人以外， 我还要招聚别人归并他们。

9 All ye beastes of the fielde, come to deuoure, euen all ye beastes of the forest.

田野的诸兽都来吞吃吧！ 林中的诸兽也要如此。

10 Their watchmen are all blinde: they haue no knowledge: they are all dumme dogs: they can not barke: they lie and sleepe and delite in sleeping.

他看守的人是瞎眼的， 都没有知识， 都是哑巴狗，不能叫唤； 但知做梦，躺卧，贪睡，

11 And these griedy dogs can neuer haue ynough: and these shepheards cannot vnderstand: for they all looke to their owne way, euery one for his aduantage, and for his owne purpose.

这些狗贪食，不知饱足。 这些牧人不能明白— 各人偏行己路， 各从各方求自己的利益。

12 Come, I wil bring wine, and we wil fill our selues with strong drinke, and to morowe shalbe as this day, and much more abundant.

他们说：来吧！我去拿酒， 我们饱饮浓酒； 明日必和今日一样， 就是宴乐无量极大之日。
