Chapter 56

56:1 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment¹, and do justice: for my salvation² is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
    [bbe]  The Lord says, Let your way of life be upright, and let your behaviour be rightly ordered: for my salvation is near, and my righteousness will quickly be seen.
56:2 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  Happy is the man who does this, and the son of man whose behaviour is so ordered; who keeps the Sabbath holy, and his hand from doing any evil.
56:3 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly³ separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold⁴, I am a dry tree.
    [bbe]  And let not the man from a strange country, who has been joined to the Lord, say, The Lord will certainly put a division between me and his people: and let not the unsexed man say, See, I am a dry tree.
56:4 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  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;
    [bbe]  For the Lord says, As for the unsexed who keep my Sabbaths, and give their hearts to pleasing me, and keep their agreement with me:
56:5 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  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 everlasting⁵ name, that shall not be cut off.
    [bbe]  I will give to them in my house, and inside my walls, a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an eternal name which will not be cut off.
56:6 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  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;
    [bbe]  And as for those from a strange country, who are joined to the Lord, to give worship to him and honour to his name, to be his servants, even everyone who keeps the Sabbath holy, and keeps his agreement with me:
56:7 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful⁶ 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.
    [bbe]  I will make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.
56:8 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  The Lord GOD, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
    [bbe]  The Lord God, who gets together the wandering ones of Israel, says, I will get together others in addition to those of Israel who have come back.
56:9 [hgb]  田 野 的 诸 兽 ， 都 来 吞 吃 吧 。 林 中 的 诸 兽 ， 也 要 如 此 。
    [kjv]  All ye beasts of the field, come to devour⁷, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
    [bbe]  All you beasts of the field, come together for your meat, even all you beasts of the wood.
56:10 [hgb]  他 看 守 的 人 是 瞎 眼 的 ， 都 没 有 知 识 ， 都 是 哑 吧 狗 ， 不 能 叫 唤 。 但 知 作 梦 ， 躺 卧 ， 贪 睡 。
    [kjv]  His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber⁸.
    [bbe]  His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dogs without tongues, unable to make a sound; stretched out dreaming, loving sleep.
56:11 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  Yes, the dogs are for ever looking for food; while these, the keepers of the sheep, are without wisdom: they have all gone after their pleasure, every one looking for profit; they are all the same.
56:12 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  Come, they say, I will get wine, and we will take strong drink in full measure; and tomorrow will be like today, full of pleasure.
