 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLEIsaiah:56 Biblia Hebraica (Stuttgartensia) | BHS (pdf - 3.5mb)  

1 Thus says Yahweh:
"Keep justice, and do righteousness,
for soon my salvation will come,
and my deliverance be revealed.
ISAIAH 3. God's people will include all nations. Is.56.1-8כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה שִׁמְרוּ מִשְׁפָּט וַעֲשׂוּ צְדָקָה כִּי־קְרֹובָה יְשׁוּעָתִי לָבֹוא וְצִדְקָתִי לְהִגָּלֹות׃
2 Blessed is the man who does this,
and the son of man who holds it fast,
who keeps the sabbath, not profaning it,
and keeps his hand from doing any evil."
 אַשְׁרֵי אֱנֹושׁ יַעֲשֶׂה־זֹּאת וּבֶן־אָדָם יַחֲזִיק בָּהּ שֹׁמֵר שַׁבָּת מֵחַלְּלֹו וְשֹׁמֵר יָדֹו מֵעֲשֹׂות כָּל־רָע׃ ס
3 Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to Yahweh say,
"Yahweh will surely separate me from his people";
and let not the eunuch say,
"Behold, I am a dry tree."
 וְאַל־יֹאמַר בֶּן־הַנֵּכָר הַנִּלְוָה אֶל־יְהוָה לֵאמֹר הַבְדֵּל יַבְדִּילַנִי יְהוָה מֵעַל עַמֹּו וְאַל־יֹאמַר הַסָּרִיס הֵן אֲנִי עֵץ יָבֵשׁ׃ ס
4 For thus says Yahweh:
"To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
 כִּי־כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה לַסָּרִיסִים אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁמְרוּ אֶת־שַׁבְּתֹותַי וּבָחֲרוּ בַּאֲשֶׁר חָפָצְתִּי וּמַחֲזִיקִים בִּבְרִיתִי׃
5 I will give in my house and within my walls
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
which shall not be cut off.
 וְנָתַתִּי לָהֶם בְּבֵיתִי וּבְחֹומֹתַי יָד וָשֵׁם טֹוב מִבָּנִים וּמִבָּנֹות שֵׁם עֹולָם אֶתֶּן־לֹו אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִכָּרֵת׃ ס
6 "And the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh,
to minister to him, to love the name of Yahweh,
and to be his servants,
every one who keeps the sabbath, and does not profane it,
and holds fast my covenant -
 וּבְנֵי הַנֵּכָר הַנִּלְוִים עַל־יְהוָה לְשָׁרְתֹו וּלְאַהֲבָה אֶת־שֵׁם יְהוָה לִהְיֹות לֹו לַעֲבָדִים כָּל־שֹׁמֵר שַׁבָּת מֵחַלְּלֹו וּמַחֲזִיקִים בִּבְרִיתִי׃
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer;
their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house shall be called a house of prayer
for all peoples.
 וַהֲבִיאֹותִים אֶל־הַר קָדְשִׁי וְשִׂמַּחְתִּים בְּבֵית תְּפִלָּתִי עֹולֹתֵיהֶם וְזִבְחֵיהֶם לְרָצֹון עַל־מִזְבְּחִי כִּי בֵיתִי בֵּית־תְּפִלָּה יִקָּרֵא לְכָל־הָעַמִּים׃
8 Thus says Yahweh GOD,
who gathers the outcasts of Israel,
I will gather yet others to him
besides those already gathered."
 נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה מְקַבֵּץ נִדְחֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עֹוד אֲקַבֵּץ עָלָיו לְנִקְבָּצָיו׃
9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour -
all you beasts in the forest.
Israel's leaders are condemned. Is.56.9-12כֹּל חַיְתֹו שָׂדָי אֵתָיוּ לֶאֱכֹל כָּל־חַיְתֹו בַּיָּעַר׃ ס
10 His watchmen are blind,
they are all without knowledge;
they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark;
dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
 [כ= צֹפֹו] [ק= צֹפָיו] עִוְרִים כֻּלָּם לֹא יָדָעוּ כֻּלָּם כְּלָבִים אִלְּמִים לֹא יוּכְלוּ לִנְבֹּחַ הֹזִים שֹׁכְבִים אֹהֲבֵי לָנוּם׃
11 The dogs have a mighty appetite;
they never have enough.
The shepherds also have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way,
each to his own gain, one and all.
 וְהַכְּלָבִים עַזֵּי־נֶפֶשׁ לֹא יָדְעוּ שָׂבְעָה וְהֵמָּה רֹעִים לֹא יָדְעוּ הָבִין כֻּלָּם לְדַרְכָּם פָּנוּ אִישׁ לְבִצְעֹו מִקָּצֵהוּ׃
12 "Come," they say, "let us get wine,
let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
and tomorrow will be like this day,
great beyond measure."
 אֵתָיוּ אֶקְחָה־יַיִן וְנִסְבְּאָה שֵׁכָר וְהָיָה כָזֶה יֹום מָחָר גָּדֹול יֶתֶר מְאֹד׃

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
