以赛亚书 第56章

1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。

1Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

2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。”

2Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

3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。”

3Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

4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，

4For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;

5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。

5Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

6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（原文作“我”）约的人。

6Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

7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！”

7Even 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 people.

8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。”

8The Lord GOD, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

9田野的诸兽都来吞吃吧！林中的诸兽也要如此。

9All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.

10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。

10His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.

11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。

11Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

12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。”

12Come ye, 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.
