Isaiah 56
1 Thus said YHWH: “Keep judgment, and do righteousness, For My salvation [is] near to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.”
Yavé dice: Guarden el juicio recto y practiquen la justicia, porque mi salvación está a punto de venir y mi justicia a punto de ser revelada.
2 O the blessedness of a man who does this, And of a son of man who keeps hold on it, Keeping the Sabbath from defiling it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.
Inmensamente feliz el hombre que hace esto, el hijo de hombre que se aferra a ello, que guarda el sábado y no lo profana, que guarda su mano de hacer cualquier mal.
3 Do not let a son of the stranger speak, Who is joined to YHWH, saying, “YHWH certainly separates me from His people.” Nor let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dried up tree,”
No diga el extranjero que se unió a Yavé: Ciertamente Yavé me separará de su pueblo. Ni diga el eunuco: Ciertamente soy un árbol seco.
4 For thus said YHWH: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on My covenant:
Porque Yavé dice: A los eunucos que guardan mis sábados, que escogen lo que me agrada y se aferran a mi Pacto,
5 I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, I give a continuous name to him That is not cut off.
les daré entrada a mi Casa, y un nombre mejor que el de hijos e hijas dentro de mis muros. Les daré un nombre eterno que no será cortado.
6 And sons of the stranger, who are joined to YHWH, To serve Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, To be for servants to Him, All keeping from defiling the Sabbath, And those keeping hold on My covenant,
En cuanto a los extranjeros que se adhieren a Yavé para servirle, que aman el Nombre de Yavé para ser sus esclavos, guardan el sábado sin profanarlo y se aferran a mi Pacto,
7 I have brought them to My holy mountain, And caused them to rejoice in My house of prayer, Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [Are] for a pleasing thing on My altar, For My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
ordenaré que sean conducidos a mi Santa Montaña y se alegren en mi Casa de Oración. Sus holocaustos y sus sacrificios serán aceptos sobre mi altar, porque mi Casa será llamada Casa de Oración para todos los pueblos.
8 A declaration of Lord YHWH, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: “Again I gather to him—to his gathered ones.”
Palabra de ʼAdonay Yavé, Quien reúne a los dispersos de Israel: Aún reuniré con él a sus ya reunidos.
9 Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in the forest.
Vengan a devorar, ustedes todas bestias del campo y del bosque.
10 His watchmen [are] blind—all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] mute dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.
Sus centinelas están ciegos, todos ellos ignorantes. Todos ellos son perros mudos, incapaces de ladrar, soñolientos echados, amantes del sueño.
11 And the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them turned to their own way, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter:
Son perros insaciables. Son los pastores que no saben distinguir. Todos ellos siguen sus propios caminos, cada uno tras su propio provecho.
12 “Come, I take wine, And we drink, gulp strong drink, And tomorrow has been as this day, Great—exceedingly abundant!”
Vengan, dicen, bebamos vino. Embriaguémonos con licor, y el día de mañana será como hoy, o aún más abundante.
