Isaías 56

1 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.

This is what the Lord says: Follow the law, and do what is right, for my salvation will soon arrive, and my goodness will be revealed.

2 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.

Blessed is everyone who does this—those who keep to it, who observe the Sabbath without violating it, and who don't do anything wrong.

3 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.

Don't allow foreigners who have dedicated themselves to the Lord say, “The Lord will definitely exclude me from his people.” And don't allow eunuchs to say, “Look at me—I'm as worthless as a dried-up tree because I'm childless.”

4 Porque Yavé dice: A los eunucos que guardan mis sábados, que escogen lo que me agrada y se aferran a mi Pacto,

For this is what the Lord says: To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths, who choose to do what pleases me, and to keep my agreement,

5 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.

I will give them, in my house and within my walls, a place to remember them and a reputation better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting reputation that will never fade.

6 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,

About the foreigners who have dedicated themselves to the Lord, who worship him, who love the Lord, and who are his servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath without violating it and who keep to my agreement—

7 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.

I will bring these foreigners to my holy mountain and make them happy in my house of prayer. I will accept their burnt offerings and sacrifices, because my Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations.

8 Palabra de ʼAdonay Yavé, Quien reúne a los dispersos de Israel: Aún reuniré con él a sus ya reunidos.

This is what the Lord God says, who brought back the scattered people of Israel: I will bring back still others to join you.

9 Vengan a devorar, ustedes todas bestias del campo y del bosque.

Come, wild animals, wild animals of the countryside and forests, come and eat my people!

10 Sus centinelas están ciegos, todos ellos ignorantes. Todos ellos son perros mudos, incapaces de ladrar, soñolientos echados, amantes del sueño.

For all the watchmen are blind. None of them know what's going on. They're all silent—they can't bark. They spend their time lying down, dreaming, loving to sleep.

11 Son perros insaciables. Son los pastores que no saben distinguir. Todos ellos siguen sus propios caminos, cada uno tras su propio provecho.

They're greedy dogs that are never satisfied. They're sheepdogs who don't know their job. All of them go their own way, each of them looking out for themselves.

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

“Come on,” they say, “I'll get some wine and let's get drunk! We'll do this today, and tomorrow we'll drink so much more!”
