1 T hus saith Jehovah: Keep ye judgment and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: «حافِظُوا عَلَى العَدالَةِ، وَاعْمَلُوا الصَّلاحَ. لأنَّ خَلاصِي سَيَأتِيكُمْ قَرِيباً، وَعَدلِي سَيُعلَنُ كَذَلِكَ.

2 B lessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast to it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

هَنِيئاً لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَعمَلُ الصَّلاحَ وَيَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ. يَحفَظُ السَّبتَ وَلا يُنَجِّسُهُ، وَيَمنَعُ يَدَهُ عَنْ عَمَلِ الشَّرِّ.»

3 A nd let not the son of the alien, that hath joined himself to Jehovah, speak saying, Jehovah hath entirely separated me from his people; neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree;

لا يَقُلِ الغَرِيبُ الَّذِي يَربِطُ نَفسَهُ باللهِ: «سَيَفصِلُنِي اللهُ عَنْ شَعبِهِ حَتْماً.» وَلا يَقُلِ الخَصِيِّ: «أنا كَالشَّجَرَةِ النّاشِفَةِ.»

4 f or thus saith Jehovah: Unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast to my covenant,

لأنَّ هَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ اللهُ: «الخِصيانُ الَّذِينَ يَحفَظُونَ سُبُوتِي، وَيَختارُونَ ما يَسُرُّنِي، وَيَحفَظُونَ عَهدِي،

5 e ven unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

سَأُعطِيهُمْ فِي هَيكَلِي، وَداخِلَ أسوارِي، نَصِيباً وَذِكرَى طَيِّبَةً أفضَلَ مِنَ البَنِينِ وَالبَناتِ. سَأُعطِيهِمُ اسْماً أبَدِيّاً لَنْ يُنسَى.

6 A lso the sons of the alien, that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast to my covenant;

وَالغُرَباءُ الَّذِينَ يَلتَصِقُونَ باللهِ لِيَخدِمُوهُ وَيُحِبُّونَ اسْمَ اللهِ ، الَّذِينَ يَحفَظُونَ السَّبتَ وَلا يُنَجِّسُونَهُ، وَيَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِعَهدِي،

7 e ven them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar: for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.

سَآتِي بِهِمْ إلَى جَبَلِي المُقَدَّسِ، وَسَأُفَرِّحُهُمْ فِي بَيتِ الصَّلاةِ الَّذِي لِي. وَسَتَكُونُ ذَبائِحُهُمْ مَقبُولَةً عَلَى مَذبَحِي. لأنَّ بَيتَي يُدعَى بَيتَ صَلاةٍ لِجَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ.»

8 T he Lord Jehovah, who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, saith: Yet will I gather to him, with those of his that are gathered.

فَهَذا هُوَ ما يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ الَّذِي يَجمَعُ المَطرُودِينَ مِنَ بَنِي إسْرائيلَ: «سَأجمَعُ آخَرِينَ إلَيْهِمْ، بِالإضافَةِ إلَى الَّذِينَ جَمَعتُهُمْ.» إهمالُ حُرّاسِ إسْرائِيل

9 A ll ye beasts of the field, come to devour, all ye beasts in the forest.

يا كُلَّ الحَيواناتِ البَرِّيَّةِ، وَيا كُلَّ حَيواناتِ الغابَةِ، تَعالَي وَكُلِي.

10 H is watchmen are all of them blind, they are without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs that cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber:

حُرّاسُ إسْرائِيلَ عُميانٌ. كُلُّهُمْ لا يَعرِفُونَ شَيئاً. كُلُّهُمْ كِلابٌ بُكْمٌ لا تَستَطِيعُ النُّباحَ. يَضطَجِعُونَ وَيَحلُمُونَ، فَكَمْ يُحِبُّونَ النَّومَ!

11 a nd the dogs are greedy, they know not to be satisfied, and these are shepherds that know not how to discern: they all turn to their own way, every one for his gain, even to the last of them:

وَكَالكِلابِ الشَّرِهَةِ لا يَشبَعُونَ أبَداً. وَكالرُّعاةِ الَّذِينَ لا يَفهَمُونَ. كُلُّهُمْ التَفَتُوا إلَى طُرُقِهِمْ كُلُّ واحِدٍ اهتَمَّ بِرِبحِهِ.

12 C ome, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, much more abundant.

يَقُولُونَ: «هَيّا نَشرَبُ خَمراً، تَعالَوْا نَشرَبْ حَتَى نَسكَرَ. وَسَيَكُونُ الغَدُ عَظِيماً كَهَذا اليَومِ، بَلْ أعظَمَ بِكَثِيرٍ.»
