Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

56:1

τάδε λέγει κύριος φυλάσσεσθε κρίσιν ποιήσατε δικαιοσύνην ἤγγισεν γὰρ τὸ σωτήριόν μου παραγίνεσθαι καὶ τὸ ἔλεός μου ἀποκαλυφθῆναι

Thus says the Lord: Keep judgment and do righteousness, for my salvation is near at hand to arrive, and my mercy to be revealed.

主如此說：你們當守公平，行公義；因為我的拯救臨近，要來到了，我的憐憫也要顯露。

56:2

μακάριος ἀνὴρ ὁ ποιῶν ταῦτα καὶ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἀντεχόμενος αὐτῶν καὶ φυλάσσων τὰ σάββατα μὴ βεβηλοῦν καὶ διατηρῶν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ μὴ ποιεῖν ἀδίκημα

Blessed is the man who does these things, and the person who holds fast to them, keeping the sabbaths so as not to profane them, and keeping his hands from doing any wrong.

行這事的人有福了，持守這些事的人也有福了：他謹守安息日不干犯，又保守自己的手不作不義的事。

56:3

μὴ λεγέτω ὁ ἀλλογενὴς ὁ προσκείμενος πρὸς κύριον ἀφοριεῖ με ἄρα κύριος ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ μὴ λεγέτω ὁ εὐνοῦχος ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ξύλον ξηρόν

Let not the foreigner who attaches himself to the Lord say: Surely the Lord will separate me from his people. And let not the eunuch say: I am a dry tree.

歸附主的外邦人不要說：主必把我從他的子民中分別出去。太監也不要說：我是枯乾的樹。

56:4

τάδε λέγει κύριος τοῖς εὐνούχοις ὅσοι ἂν φυλάξωνται τὰ σάββατά μου καὶ ἐκλέξωνται ἃ ἐγὼ θέλω καὶ ἀντέχωνται τῆς διαθήκης μου

Thus says the Lord to the eunuchs: As many as keep my sabbaths and choose the things I will and hold fast to my covenant,

主對太監如此說：凡謹守我的安息日、揀選我所喜悅的事、持守我約的人，

56:5

δώσω αὐτοῖς ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου καὶ ἐν τῷ τείχει μου τόπον ὀνομαστὸν κρείττω υἱῶν καὶ θυγατέρων ὄνομα αἰώνιον δώσω αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐκ ἐκλείψει

I will give them in my house and within my wall a place of renown, better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, and it shall not fail.

我必在我殿中、在我牆內，賜給他們有名的地位，比有兒女更美；我要賜給他們永遠的名，永不斷絕。

56:6

καὶ τοῖς ἀλλογενέσι τοῖς προσκειμένοις κυρίῳ δουλεύειν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀγαπᾶν τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου τοῦ εἶναι αὐτῷ εἰς δούλους καὶ δούλας καὶ πάντας τοὺς φυλασσομένους τὰ σάββατά μου μὴ βεβηλοῦν καὶ ἀντεχομένους τῆς διαθήκης μου

And to the foreigners who attach themselves to the Lord, to serve him and to love the name of the Lord, to be his male and female servants, and all who keep my sabbaths so as not to profane them and hold fast to my covenant,

還有那些歸附主、要事奉他、愛主之名、作他僕婢的外邦人，以及一切謹守我的安息日不干犯、又持守我約的人，

56:7

εἰσάξω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ ὄρος τὸ ἅγιόν μου καὶ εὐφρανῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τῆς προσευχῆς μου τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ θυσίαι αὐτῶν ἔσονται δεκταὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου μου ὁ γὰρ οἶκός μου οἶκος προσευχῆς κληθήσεται πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

I will bring them into my holy mountain and make them glad in my house of prayer. Their whole burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations.

我必領他們到我的聖山，使他們在我禱告的殿中歡樂。他們的燔祭和祭物在我壇上必蒙悅納；因為我的殿必稱為萬民禱告的殿。

56:8

εἶπεν κύριος ὁ συνάγων τοὺς διεσπαρμένους Ισραηλ ὅτι συνάξω ἐπ’ αὐτὸν συναγωγήν

Said the Lord who gathers the scattered of Israel: I will gather to him yet another gathering.

那招聚以色列被分散之人的主說：我還要為他招聚更多的人。

56:9

πάντα τὰ θηρία τὰ ἄγρια δεῦτε φάγετε πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ δρυμοῦ

All you wild beasts, come and eat; all you beasts of the forest.

田野一切的走獸啊，來吞吃吧；林中一切的野獸啊，你們都來。

56:10

ἴδετε ὅτι πάντες ἐκτετύφλωνται οὐκ ἔγνωσαν φρονῆσαι πάντες κύνες ἐνεοί οὐ δυνήσονται ὑλακτεῖν ἐνυπνιαζόμενοι κοίτην φιλοῦντες νυστάξαι

See that they have all been blinded; they did not know how to think. They are all mute dogs; they will not be able to bark, dreaming of a bed, loving to slumber.

你們看，他們都瞎了眼，不曉得思想；都是啞巴狗，不能吠叫；只作夢、貪戀床榻、喜愛打盹。

56:11

καὶ οἱ κύνες ἀναιδεῖς τῇ ψυχῇ οὐκ εἰδότες πλησμονήν καί εἰσιν πονηροὶ οὐκ εἰδότες σύνεσιν πάντες ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν ἐξηκολούθησαν ἕκαστος κατὰ τὸ ἑαυτοῦ

And the dogs are shameless in soul, not knowing satisfaction; and they are evil, not knowing understanding. They all followed their own ways, each one after his own interest.

這些狗心裡貪得無厭，不知飽足；他們是惡人，不曉得明理；各人都隨自己的道路，各從己意而行。
