1Hæc dicit Dominus:Thus says the Lord:Custodite judicium,Preserve judgment,et facite justitiam,and accomplish justice.quia juxta est salus mea ut veniat,For my salvation is close to its arrival,et justitia mea ut reveletur.and my justice is close to being revealed.
2Beatus vir qui facit hoc,Blessed is the man who does this,et filius hominis qui apprehendet istud,and the son of man who holds to this,custodiens sabbatum ne polluat illud,keeping the Sabbath and not profaning it,custodiens manus suas ne faciat omne malum.guarding his hands and not doing any evil.
3Et non dicat filius advenæ qui adhæret Domino,And let not the son of the new arrival, who adheres to the Lord,dicens:speak, saying,Separatione dividet me Dominus a populo suo;“The Lord will divide and separate me from his people.”et non dicat eunuchus:And let not the eunuch say,Ecce ego lignum aridum.“Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4Quia hæc dicit Dominus eunuchis:For thus says the Lord to the eunuchs:Qui custodierint sabbata mea,They will keep my Sabbaths,et elegerint quæ ego volui,and they will choose the things that I will,et tenuerint fœdus meum,and they will hold to my covenant.
5dabo eis in domo mea et in muris meis locum,I will give them a place in my house, within my walls,et nomen melius a filiis et filiabus:and a name better than sons and daughters.nomen sempiternum dabo eis,I will give them an everlasting name,quod non peribit.which will never perish.
6Et filios advenæ,And the sons of the new arrival,qui adhærent Domino, ut colant eum, et diligant nomen ejus,who adhere to the Lord so as to worship him and to love his name,ut sint ei in servos;shall be his servants:omnem custodientem sabbatum ne polluat illud,all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it,et tenentem fœdus meum;and who hold to my covenant.
7adducam eos in montem sanctum meum,I will lead them to my holy mountain,et lætificabo eos in domo orationis meæ;and I will gladden them in my house of prayer.holocausta eorum et victimæ eorum placebunt mihi super altari meo,Their holocausts and their victims will be pleasing to me upon my altar.quia domus mea domus orationis vocabitur cunctis populis.For my house will be called the house of prayer for all peoples.
8Ait Dominus Deus,The Lord God,qui congregat dispersos Israël:who gathers the dispersed of Israel, says:Adhuc congregabo ad eum congregatos ejus.Even now, I will gather his congregation to him.
9Omnes bestiæ agri,All beasts of the field,venite ad devorandum,all the beasts of the forest:universæ bestiæ saltus.approach and devour!
10Speculatores ejus cæci omnes;His watchmen are all blind.nescierunt universi:They are all ignorant.canes muti non valentes latrare,They are mute dogs without the ability to bark,videntes vana,seeing empty things,dormientes,sleepinget amantes somnia.and loving dreams.
11Et canes imprudentissimi nescierunt saturitatem;And these very imprudent dogs have never known satisfaction.ipsi pastores ignoraverunt intelligentiam:The shepherds themselves do not know understanding.omnes in viam suam declinaverunt;All have turned aside in their own way,unusquisque ad avaritiam suam,each one to his own avarice,a summo usque ad novissimum.from the highest even to the least:
12Venite,“Come,sumamus vinum,let us take wine,et impleamur ebrietate;and be filled by inebriation.et erit sicut hodie,And as it is today,sic et cras,so shall it be tomorrowet multo amplius.and for a long time.”
