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.
Thus hath said the Lord, Keep ye justice, and do equity; for near is my salvation to come, and my righteousness to 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.
Happy is the mortal that ever doth this, and the son of man that ever layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath by not violating it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
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.
And let not say the son of the stranger, that joineth himself unto the Lord, saying, Surely the Lord will exclude me from his people; nor let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 Porque Yavé dice: A los eunucos que guardan mis sábados, que escogen lo que me agrada y se aferran a mi Pacto,
For thus hath said the Lord concerning the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and make choice of what pleaseth me, and take hold of my covenant.
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 indeed give unto them in my house and within my walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters: an everlasting name will I give them, that shall not be cut off.
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,
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves unto the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be unto him as servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath by not violating it, and those who take hold of my covenant:
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.
Even these 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 my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations.
8 Palabra de ʼAdonay Yavé, Quien reúne a los dispersos de Israel: Aún reuniré con él a sus ya reunidos.
Thus saith the Lord Eternal who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, I will yet gather [others] to him, beside his own gathered [outcasts].
9 Vengan a devorar, ustedes todas bestias del campo y del bosque.
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, [yea, ] all ye beasts in the forest.
10 Sus centinelas están ciegos, todos ellos ignorantes. Todos ellos son perros mudos, incapaces de ladrar, soñolientos echados, amantes del sueño.
His watchmen are all of them blind, they know nothing; they all are dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreamers, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Son perros insaciables. Son los pastores que no saben distinguir. Todos ellos siguen sus propios caminos, cada uno tras su propio provecho.
But the dogs are of a greedy disposition, they know not how to be satisfied; and those are shepherds that know how to understand: they all turn to their own way, every one after his gain, from all quarters.
12 Vengan, dicen, bebamos vino. Embriaguémonos con licor, y el día de mañana será como hoy, o aún más abundante.
Come ye, I will fetch wine, and let us swallow abundantly of strong drink; and like this day shall it be tomorrow, excellent and in very great abundance.
