Isaiah 56
1 Yahweh says [to all the people of Judah], “Do the things that are fair and just, because I will soon come to rescue [DOU] you.
Así dice Yahvé: “Observad el derecho y practicad la justicia; porque pronto vendrá mi salvación, y va a revelarse mi justicia.”
2 I will bless those who faithfully obey my laws about the Sabbath/rest days. I will bless those who (keep sacred/honor) my Sabbath/rest days, and who do not do any work on those days, and who refrain from [MTY] doing anything that is evil.
Bienaventurado el hombre que así obra, y el hijo del hombre que a esto se atiene, que observa el sábado sin profanarlo, y que guarda su mano de toda obra mala.
3 And foreigners who have believed in me should not say, ‘Yahweh will surely not allow me to belong to his people.’ And eunuchs should not say, ‘[Because I am unable to have children, I cannot belong to Yahweh]; I am like [MET] a tree that has completely withered.’
No diga el extranjero que se ha adherido a Yahvé: “Yahvé me excluye totalmente de su pueblo”, ni diga el eunuco: “He aquí que soy un árbol seco.”
4 They should not say that, because [I], Yahweh, say this to the eunuchs who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who choose to do the things that please me, and who obey all [the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people]:
Porque así dice Yahvé a los eunucos que guardan mis sábados y escogen lo que me es grato y se atienen a mi alianza:
5 I will cause to be put inside the walls of my temple a monument [DOU] to them; because of that monument, they will be honored more than they would have if they had children; they will be honored forever.
“Yo les daré en mi Casa y dentro de mis muros, valor y nombre, mejor que hijos e hijas; les daré un nombre eterno que nunca perecerá.
6 I will also bless those who are not Israelis, who (join themselves to/believe in) me, and who serve me and worship and love me, and who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who faithfully obey [all the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people].
Y a los extranjeros que se unen a Yahvé, para servirle, y para amar el nombre de Yahvé, y ser sus siervos; a cuantos guardan el sábado sin profanarlo y se atienen a mi alianza,
7 I will bring them to my sacred hill [in Jerusalem], I will cause them to be [very] joyful in my temple where people pray to me, and I will accept the sacrifices that they completely burn [on my altar] and other sacrifices that they offer. I will do those things for them because I want my temple to be a building where people of all nations pray to me.
los conduciré a mi santo monte, y los llenaré de gozo en mi Casa de oración; sus holocaustos y sus sacrificios serán gratos sobre mi altar: porque mi Casa será llamada Casa de oración para todos los pueblos.”
8 [I], Yahweh, the Lord, the one who will bring back the people of Israel who have been (forced to go/exiled) to other countries, say this: 'I will bring [from other countries] many more people to join those Israelis whom I have brought back.'”
Oráculo de Yahvé, el Señor, que recoge a los desterrados de Israel: “Conduciré hacia él también a otros, además de los ya recogidos.”
9 “You [surrounding nations have armies that are like] [MET] animals in the forest; come and attack/destroy [Israel]!
Todas las bestias del campo, venid y comed, y vosotras, todas las fieras del bosque.
10 The Israeli leaders [should be like] watchdogs to protect the people, but [it is as though] they are blind. They are stupid. They are all [like] [MET] dogs that cannot bark. [Good watchdogs bark when strangers approach], [but the Israeli leaders do not warn the people that their enemies are coming]. Instead, they just want to lie down and sleep and dream.
Los atalayas de (Israel) son ciegos todos, no entienden nada; todos son perros mudos que no pueden ladrar; soñolientos, dormilones que aman el sueño.
11 [And they are like] greedy dogs; they never get all that they want. They are [supposed to lead the people, like good] shepherds [lead their flocks], but they are ignorant, and they each do whatever they want to do.
Y estos perros son voraces, jamás se hartan; los mismos pastores no entienden, cada uno de ellos sigue su propio camino; cada cual va tras su propio interés, hasta el último.
12 They say to each other, ‘Come, let’s go and get some wine and [other] alcoholic/strong drinks, and let’s become drunk! And tomorrow we will enjoy drinking even more!’”
“Venid, yo traeré vino y tomaremos bebidas embriagantes; y mañana será como hoy, día grande, muy grande.”
