LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ταδε λεγει κυριος φυλασσεσθε κρισιν ποιησατε δικαιοσυνην ηγγισεν γαρ το σωτηριον μου παραγινεσθαι και το ελεος μου αποκαλυφθηναι	1 Thus says the Lord: Preserve judgment, and accomplish justice. For my salvation is close to its arrival, and my justice is close to being revealed.
2 μακαριος ανηρ ο ποιων ταυτα και ανθρωπος ο αντεχομενος αυτων και φυλασσων τα σαββατα μη βεβηλουν και διατηρων τας χειρας αυτου μη ποιειν αδικημα	2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds to this, keeping the Sabbath and not profaning it, guarding his hands and not doing any evil.
3 μη λεγετω ο αλλογενης ο προσκειμενος προς κυριον αφοριει με αρα κυριος απο του λαου αυτου και μη λεγετω ο ευνουχος οτι εγω ειμι ξυλον ξηρον	3 And let not the son of the new arrival, who adheres to the Lord, speak, saying, “The Lord will divide and separate me from his people.” And let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 ταδε λεγει κυριος τοις ευνουχοις οσοι αν φυλαξωνται τα σαββατα μου και εκλεξωνται α εγω θελω και αντεχωνται της διαθηκης μου	4 For thus says the Lord to the eunuchs: They will keep my Sabbaths, and they will choose the things that I will, and they will hold to my covenant.
5 δωσω αυτοις εν τω οικω μου και εν τω τειχει μου τοπον ονομαστον κρειττω υιων και θυγατερων ονομα αιωνιον δωσω αυτοις και ουκ εκλειψει	5 I will give them a place in my house, within my walls, and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, which will never perish.
6 και τοις αλλογενεσι τοις προσκειμενοις κυριω δουλευειν αυτω και αγαπαν το ονομα κυριου του ειναι αυτω εις δουλους και δουλας και παντας τους φυλασσομενους τα σαββατα μου μη βεβηλουν και αντεχομενους της διαθηκης μου	6 And the sons of the new arrival, who adhere to the Lord so as to worship him and to love his name, shall be his servants: all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it, and who hold to my covenant.
7 εισαξω αυτους εις το ορος το αγιον μου και ευφρανω αυτους εν τω οικω της προσευχης μου τα ολοκαυτωματα αυτων και αι θυσιαι αυτων εσονται δεκται επι του θυσιαστηριου μου ο γαρ οικος μου οικος προσευχης κληθησεται πασιν τοις εθνεσιν	7 I will lead them to my holy mountain, and I will gladden them in my house of prayer. Their holocausts and their victims will be pleasing to me upon my altar. For my house will be called the house of prayer for all peoples.
8 ειπεν κυριος ο συναγων τους διεσπαρμενους ισραηλ οτι συναξω επ' αυτον συναγωγην	8 The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, says: Even now, I will gather his congregation to him.
9 παντα τα θηρια τα αγρια δευτε φαγετε παντα τα θηρια του δρυμου	9 All beasts of the field, all the beasts of the forest: approach and devour!
10 ιδετε οτι παντες εκτετυφλωνται ουκ εγνωσαν φρονησαι παντες κυνες ενεοι ου δυνησονται υλακτειν ενυπνιαζομενοι κοιτην φιλουντες νυσταξαι	10 His watchmen are all blind. They are all ignorant. They are mute dogs without the ability to bark, seeing empty things, sleeping and loving dreams.
11 και οι κυνες αναιδεις τη ψυχη ουκ ειδοτες πλησμονην και εισιν πονηροι ουκ ειδοτες συνεσιν παντες εν ταις οδοις αυτων εξηκολουθησαν εκαστος κατα το εαυτου	11 And these very imprudent dogs have never known satisfaction. The shepherds themselves do not know understanding. All have turned aside in their own way, each one to his own avarice, from the highest even to the least:
	12 “Come, let us take wine, and be filled by inebriation. And as it is today, so shall it be tomorrow and for a long time.”
