이사야 56
Korean Living Bible
이방인들의 구원
56 여호와께서 자기 백성에게 말씀하신다. “너희는 공정하고 옳은 일을 행하라. 내 가 곧 너희를 구원할 것이다.
2 안식일을 더럽히지 않고 잘 지키는 자와 악을 행하지 않는 자에게 복이 있다.”
3 [a]여호와를 섬기는 이방인들은 “틀림없이 여호와께서 나를 자기 백성과 구별하실 것이다” 하지 말며 고자도 “나는 마른 나무에 불과할 뿐이야” 하고 불평하지 말아라.
4 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “내 안식일을 지키며 나를 기쁘게 하는 일을 택하고 내 계약을 굳게 지키는 고자들에게
5 내 성전과 성 안에서 아들딸보다 더 나은 영광스러운 이름을 주어 영원히 잊혀지지 않게 할 것이다.”
6 또 여호와께서는 자기 종이 되어 자기를 사랑하고 섬기며 안식일을 지켜 더럽히지 않고 그의 계약을 굳게 지키는 이방인들에게 말씀하신다.
7 “내가 너희를 나의 거룩한 산으로 인도하여 내 기도하는 집에서 너희에게 기쁨을 줄 것이며 너희가 내 제단에 드리는 희생의 제물을 내가 기꺼이 받을 것이다. 이것은 내 성전이 모든 민족의 기도하는 집이 될 것이기 때문이다.”
8 이스라엘의 흩어진 백성을 모으시는 주 여호와께서 자기 백성 외에 다른 민족도 그에게 불러모으시겠다고 약속하셨다.
지도자들에 대한 하나님의 책망
9 여호와께서 말씀하신다. “이방 민족들아, 들짐승처럼 와서 내 백성을 삼켜라.
10 이스라엘의 [b]지도자들은 다 소경이요 무지하여 짖지 못하는 벙어리 개와 같으며 누워서 꿈이나 꾸고 잠자기를 좋아하는 자들이다.
11 그들은 욕심꾸러기 개처럼 만족할 줄 모르며 수단과 방법을 가리지 않고 자기 이익만 추구하는 몰지각한 목자들이다.
12 그들은 ‘오너라. 내가 술을 가져오겠다. 자, 독주를 실컷 마시자. 내일은 오늘보다 더 풍성할 것이다’ 하고 서로 말한다.”
Isaiah 56
King James Version
56 Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed 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 Neither 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 For 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 Even 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 Also 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 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 mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
8 The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, 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 Come 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.
Isaiah 56
New King James Version
Salvation for the Gentiles
56 Thus says the Lord:
“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
(A)For My salvation is about to come,
And My righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
(B)Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Do not let (C)the son of the foreigner
Who has joined himself to the Lord
Speak, saying,
“The Lord has utterly separated me from His people”;
Nor let the (D)eunuch say,
“Here I am, a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,
5 Even to them I will give in (E)My house
And within My walls a place (F)and a name
Better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give [a]them an everlasting name
That shall not be cut off.
6 “Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—
7 Even them I will (G)bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My (H)house of prayer.
(I)Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be (J)accepted on My altar;
For (K)My house shall be called a house of prayer (L)for all nations.”
8 The Lord God, (M)who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says,
(N)“Yet I will gather to him
Others besides those who are gathered to him.”
Israel’s Irresponsible Leaders
9 (O)All you beasts of the field, come to devour,
All you beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are (P)blind,
They are all ignorant;
(Q)They are all dumb dogs,
They cannot bark;
[b]Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yes, they are (R)greedy[c] dogs
Which (S)never[d] have enough.
And they are shepherds
Who cannot understand;
They all look to their own way,
Every one for his own gain,
From his own territory.
12 “Come,” one says, “I will bring wine,
And we will fill ourselves with intoxicating (T)drink;
(U)Tomorrow will be (V)as today,
And much more abundant.”
