Isaiah 56

1 Thus said Jehovah: 'Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness, For near [is] My salvation 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 happiness of a man who doth this, And of a son of man who keepeth hold on it, Keeping the sabbath from polluting 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 Nor speak let a son of the stranger, Who is joined unto Jehovah, saying: 'Jehovah doth certainly separate me from His people.' Nor say let the eunuch, 'Lo, I am a tree dried up,'

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 Jehovah of the eunuchs, Who do 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, A name age-during I give 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 Jehovah, To serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, To be to Him for servants, Every keeper of the sabbath from polluting it, 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 unto 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 Mine altar, For My house, 'A house of prayer,' Is called 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 An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, 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 Blind [are] his watchmen — all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] dumb 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 to their own way they did turn, 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 ye, I take wine, And we drink, quaff strong drink, And as this day hath been to-morrow, Great — exceeding abundant!'

Vengan, dicen, bebamos vino. Embriaguémonos con licor, y el día de mañana será como hoy, o aún más abundante.
