[1]Thus saith the Lord, Keep judgment and do justice: for my salvation is at hand to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. [1]Thus saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My favour to be revealed.
[2]Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man which layeth hold on it: he that keepeth the Sabbath and polluteth it not, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. [2]Happy is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
[3]And let not the son of the stranger, which is joined to the Lord, speak and say, The Lord hath surely separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. [3]Neither let the alien, that hath joined himself to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, speak, saying: '‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ will surely separate me from Hi 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 thing that pleaseth me, and take hold of my covenant, [4]For thus saith ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ concerning the eunuchs that keep My sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and hold fast by My covenant:
[5]Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls, a place and a name better than of the sons and of the daughters: I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be put out. [5]Even unto them will I give in My house and within My walls a monument and a memorial better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting memorial, that shall not be cut off.
[6]Also the strangers that cleave unto the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants: every one that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not and embraceth my covenant, [6]Also the aliens, that join themselves to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, to minister unto Him, and to love the name of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by My covenant:
[7]Them will I bring also to mine holy mountain, and make them joyful in mine 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. [7]Even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon Mine altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
[8]The Lord God saith, which gathereth the scattered of Israel, Yet will I gather to them those that are to be gathered to them. [8]Saith the Lord ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ who gathereth the dispersed of Israel: yet I will gather others to him, beside those of him that are gathered.
[9]All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, even all ye beasts of the forest. [9]All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
[10]Their watchmen are all blind: they have no knowledge: they are all dumb dogs: they cannot bark: they lie and sleep and delight in sleeping. [10]His watchmen are all blind, without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; raving, lying down, loving to slumber.
[11]And these greedy dogs can never have enough: and these shepherds cannot understand: for they all look to their own way, every one for his advantage, and for his own purpose. [11]Yea, the dogs are greedy, they know not when they have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand; they all turn to their own way, each one to his gain, one and all.
[12]Come, I will bring wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink, and tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. [12]'Come ye, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.'
