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 justice, and practise righteousness; For the coming of my salvation is near, And my deliverance is soon 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.”
Happy the man that doeth this, And the son of man that holdeth it fast; That keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And restraineth his hand from doing 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 stranger that joineth himself to Jehovah say, Jehovah hath wholly separated me from his people. And let not 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 concerning the eunuchs: They that keep my sabbaths, And take pleasure in doing my will, And hold fast 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.”
To them will I give in my house, and within my walls, a portion and a name, Better than of sons and daughters; An everlasting name will I give them, That shall never fade away.
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,
The strangers, also, that join themselves to Jehovah, to serve him, To love the name of Jehovah, and to be his servants. Every one that keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And holdeth fast 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,
Them will I bring to my holy mountain, And I will make them rejoice in my house of prayer; Their burnt-offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted on mine altar; For my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.
8 kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh nga Apo, a mangum-ummong kadagiti napapanaw iti Israel—Ummongekto pay dagiti dadduma a mainayon kadakuada.”
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, That gathereth the outcasts of Israel; Yet will I gather others to him, Besides those that are already gathered.
9 Dakayo amin a narungsot nga ayup iti tay-ak, umaykayo a mangalun-on, dakayo amin a narungsot nga ayup iti kabakiran!
Come, all ye beasts of the field, Yea, all ye beasts of the forest, to devour!
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 blind; they know nothing; 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.
Yet are they greedy dogs that cannot be satisfied; The shepherds themselves will not attend; They all turn aside to their own way, Every one of them to their own gain.
12 “Umayka” kunada, “Aginumtayo iti arak ken naingel a mainum; kastoyto manen inton bigat, maysa nga aldaw nga awan pakaiyaspinganna.”
“Come on, let me bring wine, And let us fill ourselves with strong drink, And to-morrow shall be as to-day, And even much more abundant.”
