< Isaias 56 >

1 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Ammoenyo ti nasayaat, aramidenyo ti nalinteg; ta asidegen ti panangisalakanko, ken maipakaammonto ti kinalintegko.
Thus saith Jehovah: Keep ye judgment and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Nagasat ti tao a mangar-aramid iti daytoy, ken ti siasinoman a mangsalsalimetmet iti daytoy. Ngilngilinenna ti Aldaw a Panaginana, saanna daytoy a tulawan, ken likliklikanna nga agaramid iti kinadakes.”
Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast to it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 Saan koma nga ibaga ti gangannaet a nagbalin nga adipen ni Yahweh nga, “Ilaksidnakto ni Yahweh manipud kadagti tattaona.” Masapul a saan nga ibaga ti eunoko a, “Kitaenyo, maysaak a nagango a kayo.”
And let not the son of the alien, that hath joined himself to Jehovah, speak saying, Jehovah hath entirely separated me from his people; neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree;
4 Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Kadagiti eunoko nga agngilngilin iti Aldaw ti Panaginana ken mangpilpili iti makaay-ayo kaniak, ken mangsalimetmet iti tulagko—
for thus saith Jehovah: Unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast to my covenant,
5 Para kadakuada, ikabilkonto iti uneg ti balayko ken iti uneg dagiti paderko ti maysa a pakalaglagipan a nasaysayaat ngem iti addaan kadagiti annak a lallaki ken babbai; ikkakto ida iti agnanayon a pakalaglagipan a saanto a mapukaw.”
even unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Kasta met dagiti gangannaet a makipagmaymaysa kenni Yahweh, tapno agserbi kenkuana, ken dagiti mangipatpateg iti nagan ni Yahweh, a mangidayaw kenkuana, amin nga agngilngilin iti Aldaw ti Panagina ken dagiti mangliklik a mangtulaw iti daytoy, ken dagiti mangsalsalimetmet iti tulagko,
Also the sons of the alien, that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast to my covenant;
7 “Ipankonto ida iti nasantoan a bantayko ken pagrag-oekto ida iti balayko a pagkararagan; maawatto dagiti datonda a maipuor ken dagiti sakripisioda iti altarko. Ta maawaganto ti balayko iti balay ti kararag nga agpaay kadagiti amin a nasion,
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 upon mine altar: for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.
8 kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo, a mangum-ummong kadagiti napapanaw iti Israel—Ummongekto pay dagiti dadduma a mainayon kadakuada.”
The Lord Jehovah, who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, saith: Yet will I gather [others] to him, with those of his that are gathered.
9 Dakayo amin a narungsot nga ayup iti tay-ak, umaykayo a mangalun-on, dakayo amin a narungsot nga ayup iti kabakiran!
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, all ye beasts in the forest.
10 Bulsek amin a taga-bantayda; saanda a makaawat; kasda la aso nga awan am-ammona; saanda a makataul: agtagtagainep, agid-idda, pagaayatna ti maturog.
His watchmen are all of them blind, they are without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs that cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber:
11 Narawet dagiti aso; saanda pulos a mapnek; kasda la agpaspastor nga awanan pannakaawat; nagturongda amin iti bukodda a dalan, ag-aguman ti tunggal maysa dagiti awan serserbina.
and the dogs are greedy, they know not to be satisfied, and these are shepherds that know not how to discern: they all turn to their own way, every one for his gain, even to the last of them:
12 “Umayka” kunada, “Aginumtayo iti arak ken naingel a mainum; kastoyto manen inton bigat, maysa nga aldaw nga awan pakaiyaspinganna.”
Come, [say they, ] I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.
