以賽亞書 56
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
外族人蒙拯救
56 耶和華說:
「你們當堅持正義,
秉行公義,
因為我的救恩快要來臨,
我的公義快要彰顯。
2 謹守而不褻瀆安息日、
不做惡事的人有福了!」
3 皈依耶和華的外族人啊,
不要以為耶和華會把你和祂的子民分開,
太監也不要覺得自己只是一棵枯樹。
4 因為耶和華說:
「如果太監遵守我的安息日、
做我喜悅的事、
持守我的約,
5 我必在我的殿中、
牆內賜給他們紀念碑和名號,
使他們勝過有兒女的人。
我必賜給他們永遠不會被除去的名號。
6 至於那些皈依耶和華、
事奉祂、愛祂的名、
做祂的僕人、
謹守而不褻瀆安息日、
持守祂的約的外族人,
7 我必領他們到我的聖山,
到向我禱告的殿內,
使他們歡欣。
他們獻上的燔祭和其他祭物必蒙悅納,
因為我的殿必被稱為萬民禱告的殿。」
8 招聚以色列流亡者的主耶和華說:
「除了這些被招聚回來的人以外,
我還要招聚其他人。」
以色列昏庸的首領
9 田野和林中的走獸啊,
來吞吃吧!
10 以色列的守望者瞎眼無知,
是不會叫的啞巴狗,
只喜歡躺下睡覺做夢。
11 這些人就像貪吃的狗,
不知飽足,
又像什麼都不懂的牧人,
人人各行其是,
追求自己的利益。
12 他們說:「來吧,我去拿酒,
讓我們喝個痛快!
明天會跟今天一樣,
甚至更豐盛。」
Isaiah 56
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
56 Thus saith the Lord: Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my justice to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that doth this, and the son of man that shall lay hold on this: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, that keepeth his hands from doing any evil.
3 And let not the son of the stranger, that adhereth to the Lord, speak, saying: The Lord will divide and separate me from his people. And let not the eunuch say: Behold I am a dry tree.
4 For thus saith the Lord to the eunuchs, They that shall keep my sabbaths, and shall choose the things that please me, and shall hold fast my covenant:
5 I will give to them in my house, and within my walls, a place, and a name better than sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name which shall never perish.
6 And the children of the stranger that adhere to the Lord, to worship him, and to love his name, to be his servants: every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and that holdeth fast my covenant:
7 I will bring them into my holy mount, and will make them joyful in my house of prayer: their holocausts, and their victims shall please me upon my altar: for my house shall be called the house of prayer, for all nations.
8 The Lord God, who gathereth the scattered of Israel, saith: I will still gather unto him his congregation.
9 All ye beasts of the field come to devour, all ye beasts of the forest.
10 His watchmen are all blind, they are all ignorant: dumb dogs not able to bark, seeing vain things, sleeping and loving dreams.
11 And meet impudent dogs, they never had enough: the shepherds themselves knew no understanding: all have turned aside into their own way, every one after his own gain, from the first even to the last.
12 Come, let us take wine, and be filled with drunkenness: and it shall be as to day, so also to morrow, and much more.
Isaiah 56
New International Version
Salvation for Others
56 This is what the Lord says:
“Maintain justice(A)
and do what is right,(B)
for my salvation(C) is close at hand
and my righteousness(D) will soon be revealed.
2 Blessed(E) is the one who does this—
the person who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath(F) without desecrating it,
and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”
3 Let no foreigner(G) who is bound to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.”(H)
And let no eunuch(I) complain,
“I am only a dry tree.”
4 For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs(J) who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases me
and hold fast to my covenant(K)—
5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls(L)
a memorial(M) and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name(N)
that will endure forever.(O)
6 And foreigners(P) who bind themselves to the Lord
to minister(Q) to him,
to love the name(R) of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath(S) without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant—
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain(T)
and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices(U)
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
a house of prayer for all nations.(V)”(W)
8 The Sovereign Lord declares—
he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
“I will gather(X) still others to them
besides those already gathered.”
God’s Accusation Against the Wicked
9 Come, all you beasts of the field,(Y)
come and devour, all you beasts of the forest!
10 Israel’s watchmen(Z) are blind,
they all lack knowledge;(AA)
they are all mute dogs,
they cannot bark;
they lie around and dream,
they love to sleep.(AB)
11 They are dogs with mighty appetites;
they never have enough.
They are shepherds(AC) who lack understanding;(AD)
they all turn to their own way,(AE)
they seek their own gain.(AF)
12 “Come,” each one cries, “let me get wine!(AG)
Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
or even far better.”(AH)
