1. So says Jehovah: Keep justice and do righteousness, for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.
|
1. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Keep H8104 ye judgment H4941 , and do H6213 justice H6666 : for H3588 my salvation H3444 is near H7138 to come H935 , and my righteousness H6666 to be revealed H1540 .
|
|
2. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; keeping sabbath, from defiling it; and keeping his hand from doing every evil.
|
2. Blessed H835 is the man H582 that doeth H6213 this H2063 , and the son H1121 of man H120 that layeth hold H2388 on it ; that keepeth H8104 the sabbath H7676 from polluting H4480 H2490 it , and keepeth H8104 his hand H3027 from doing H4480 H6213 any H3605 evil H7451 .

3. And do not let the son of the foreigner speak, he who joins himself to Jehovah, saying, Separating Jehovah separates me from His people; and not do let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dried tree.
|
3. Neither H408 let the son H1121 of the stranger H5236 , that hath joined himself H3867 to H413 the LORD H3068 , speak H559 , saying H559 , The LORD H3068 hath utterly separated H914 H914 me from H4480 H5921 his people H5971 : neither H408 let the eunuch H5631 say H559 , Behold H2005 , I H589 am a dry H3002 tree H6086 .
|
|
4. For so says Jehovah to the eunuchs who keep My sabbaths and choose things I am pleased with, and take hold of My covenant:
|
4. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 unto the eunuchs H5631 that H834 keep H8104 H853 my sabbaths H7676 , and choose H977 the things that H834 please H2654 me , and take hold H2388 of my covenant H1285 ;
|
|
5. I, even I will give to them in My house and in My walls a hand and a name better than sons and than daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which shall not be cut off.
|
5. Even unto them will I give H5414 in mine house H1004 and within my walls H2346 a place H3027 and a name H8034 better H2896 than of sons H4480 H1121 and of daughters H4480 H1323 : I will give H5414 them an everlasting H5769 name H8034 , that H834 shall not H3808 be cut off H3772 .
|
|
6. And the sons of the alien who join themselves on Jehovah to serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be His servants, everyone who keeps from defiling the sabbath, and takes hold of My covenant:
|
6. Also the sons H1121 of the stranger H5236 , that join themselves H3867 to H5921 the LORD H3068 , to serve H8334 him , and to love H157 H853 the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 , to be H1961 his servants H5650 , every one H3605 that keepeth H8104 the sabbath H7676 from polluting H4480 H2490 it , and taketh hold H2388 of my covenant H1285 ;
|
|
7. even them I will bring to My holy mount and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples,
|
7. Even them will I bring H935 to H413 my holy H6944 mountain H2022 , and make them joyful H8055 in my house H1004 of prayer H8605 : their burnt offerings H5930 and their sacrifices H2077 shall be accepted H7522 upon H5921 mine altar H4196 ; for H3588 mine house H1004 shall be called H7121 a house H1004 of prayer H8605 for all H3605 people H5971 .
|
|
8. states the Lord Jehovah, who gathers the outcasts of Israel; I will yet gather beside him his gathered ones.
|
8. The Lord H136 GOD H3069 which gathereth H6908 the outcasts H1760 of Israel H3478 saith H5002 , Yet H5750 will I gather H6908 others to H5921 him , beside those that are gathered H6908 unto him.
|
|
9. All beasts of the field come to devour, all beasts in the forest!
|
9. All H3605 ye beasts H2416 of the field H7704 , come H857 to devour H398 , yea , all H3605 ye beasts H2416 in the forest H3293 .
|
|
10. His watchmen are blind; they all do not know; they are all dumb dogs; they cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber;
|
10. His watchmen H6822 are blind H5787 : they are all H3605 ignorant H3808 H3045 , they are all H3605 dumb H483 dogs H3611 , they cannot H3201 H3808 bark H5024 ; sleeping H1957 , lying down H7901 , loving H157 to slumber H5123 .
|
|
11. yea, dogs greedy of soul; they do not know satisfaction. And they are shepherds; they do not know to discern; they all look to their own way, each one for his own gain, from his own end, saying:
|
11. Yea, they are greedy H5794 H5315 dogs H3611 which can never H3808 have H3045 enough H7654 , and they H1992 are shepherds H7462 that cannot H3045 H3808 understand H995 : they all H3605 look H6437 to their own way H1870 , every one H376 for his gain H1215 , from his quarter H4480 H7097 .
|
|
12. Come, and let me bring wine, and let us gulp down fermented drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great, exceedingly abundant.
|
12. Come H857 ye, say they , I will fetch H3947 wine H3196 , and we will fill H5433 ourselves with strong drink H7941 ; and tomorrow H4279 shall be H1961 as this H2088 day H3117 , and much H3966 more abundant H3499 H1419 .
