< Isaiah 56 >
1 Thus says the LORD, "Keep justice, 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 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps 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 Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, "The LORD will surely separate me from his people"; neither let the eunuch say, "Look, I am a dry 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 says the LORD, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast 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 to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be 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 Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast 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 even 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 on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all 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 The LORD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered."
Palabra de ʼAdonay Yavé, Quien reúne a los dispersos de Israel: Aún reuniré con él a sus ya reunidos.
9 All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
Vengan a devorar, ustedes todas bestias del campo y del bosque.
10 His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark; dreaming, 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 Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds who can't understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every 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," say they, "I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure."
Vengan, dicen, bebamos vino. Embriaguémonos con licor, y el día de mañana será como hoy, o aún más abundante.
