1 Yahweh says:

"Maintain justice

and do what is right,

for my salvation is near

and my righteousness will soon be revealed.

2 Blessed is the man who does this,

and the son of man who holds it fast;

who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it

and keeps his hand from doing any evil."

3 Let no foreigner who has joined himself to Yahweh speak, saying,

"Yahweh will surely separate me from his people."

Do not let the eunuch say, "Behold, I am a dry tree."

4 For Yahweh says, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,

choose the things that please me,

and hold fast to my covenant,

5 I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters.

I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.

6 Also the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh

to serve him,

and to love Yahweh’s name,

to be his servants,

everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it,

and holds fast my covenant,

7 I will bring these to my holy mountain,

and make them joyful in my house of prayer.

Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar;

for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples."

8 The Lord Yahweh, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says,

"I will yet gather others to him,

in addition to his own who are gathered."

9 All you animals of the field,

come to devour,

all you animals in the forest.

10 His watchmen are blind.

They are all without knowledge.

They are all mute dogs.

They can’t bark—

dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

11 Yes, the dogs are greedy.

They can never have enough.

They are shepherds who can’t understand.

They have all turned to their own way,

each one to his gain, from every quarter.

12 "Come," they say, "I will get wine,

and we will fill ourselves with strong drink;

and tomorrow will be as today,

great beyond measure."

1 耶和华这样说： "你们要持守公平， 实行公义； 因为我的拯救快要来到， 我的公义快要显现了。

2 谨守安息日， 不亵渎这日， 保守自己的手不作任何恶事， 这样行的人和坚持这样作的人， 是有福的！ "

3 与耶和华联合的外族人不要说： "耶和华必把我从他的子民中分别出来。"被阉割了的人也不要说： "看哪！ 我是一棵枯树。"

4 因为耶和华这样说： "那些谨守我的安息日， 拣选我所喜悦的事， 持守我的约、被阉割了的人，

5 在我的殿中和在我的墙内， 我要赐给他们有记念， 有名号， 比有儿女更好； 我必赐给他们永远不能废掉的名。

6 至于那些与耶和华联合的外族人， 为要事奉他， 爱耶和华的名， 作他的仆人的， 就是谨守安息日， 不亵渎这日， 又持守我的约的，

7 我必领他们到我的圣山， 使他们在属于我的祷告的殿中喜乐； 他们的燔祭和祭品， 在我的祭坛上必蒙悦纳； 因为我的殿必称为万族祷告的殿。"

8 主耶和华， 就是招聚以色列被赶散的人的， 说： "在以色列这些已经被招聚的人以外， 我还要招聚别的人归给他们。"

9 田野的百兽啊！ 你们都来吃吧。林中的百兽啊！ 你们都要这样。

10 我的守望者都是瞎眼的， 都没有知识； 他们都是哑巴狗， 不能吠； 只会作梦、躺卧， 贪爱睡觉。

11 这些狗十分贪吃， 不知饱足； 他们是牧人， 但什么都不明白； 他们都偏行自己的道路， 各从各方求自己的利益。

12 他们说： "来吧！ 我去拿酒， 让我们痛饮烈酒吧！ 明天必像今天一样， 而且比今天还要盛大和丰盈。"
