Isaías 56
1 El Señor dice: Deja que tu estilo de vida sea recto, y que tu comportamiento sea ordenado correctamente; porque mi salvación está cerca, y mi justicia será rápidamente vista.
Yahweh says [to all the people of Judah], “Do the things that are fair and just, because I will soon come to rescue [DOU] you.
2 Feliz es el hombre que hace esto, y el hijo del hombre cuyo comportamiento es tan ordenado; que guarda el sábado santo, y su mano de hacer cualquier mal.
I will bless those who faithfully obey my laws about the Sabbath/rest days. I will bless those who (keep sacred/honor) my Sabbath/rest days, and who do not do any work on those days, and who refrain from [MTY] doing anything that is evil.
3 Y no permita que el hombre de un país extranjero, que se ha unido al Señor, diga: “El Señor ciertamente me separara de su pueblo; ni él hombre eunuco diga: Mira, yo soy árbol seco.
And foreigners who have believed in me should not say, ‘Yahweh will surely not allow me to belong to his people.’ And eunuchs should not say, ‘[Because I am unable to have children, I cannot belong to Yahweh]; I am like [MET] a tree that has completely withered.’
4 Porque el Señor dice: En cuanto al eunuco si guardan mis sábados, y dan su corazón para complacerme, y mantienen su acuerdo conmigo:
They should not say that, because [I], Yahweh, say this to the eunuchs who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who choose to do the things that please me, and who obey all [the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people]:
5 Les daré en mi casa, y dentro de mis muros, un lugar y un nombre mejor que el de hijos e hijas; Les daré un nombre eterno que no será borrado.
I will cause to be put inside the walls of my temple a monument [DOU] to them; because of that monument, they will be honored more than they would have if they had children; they will be honored forever.
6 Y en cuanto a aquellos de un país extranjero, que están unidos al Señor, para adorar y honrar su nombre, para ser sus siervos, incluso todos los que santifican el sábado y mantienen su acuerdo conmigo.
I will also bless those who are not Israelis, who (join themselves to/believe in) me, and who serve me and worship and love me, and who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who faithfully obey [all the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people].
7 Los haré venir a mi santo monte, y les daré gozo en mi casa de oración; las ofrendas quemadas que hacen en mi altar serán aceptadas; porque mi casa será nombrada casa de oración para todos los pueblos.
I will bring them to my sacred hill [in Jerusalem], I will cause them to be [very] joyful in my temple where people pray to me, and I will accept the sacrifices that they completely burn [on my altar] and other sacrifices that they offer. I will do those things for them because I want my temple to be a building where people of all nations pray to me.
8 El Señor Dios, que reúne a los errantes de Israel, dice: Reuniré a otros además de los de Israel que han regresado.
[I], Yahweh, the Lord, the one who will bring back the people of Israel who have been (forced to go/exiled) to other countries, say this: 'I will bring [from other countries] many more people to join those Israelis whom I have brought back.'”
9 Todas las bestias del campo, únanse para comer, incluso todas las bestias del bosque.
“You [surrounding nations have armies that are like] [MET] animals in the forest; come and attack/destroy [Israel]!
10 Sus vigilantes son ciegos, todos están sin conocimiento; todos son perros sin lengua, incapaces de hacer ruido; echados soñando, amando el sueño.
The Israeli leaders [should be like] watchdogs to protect the people, but [it is as though] they are blind. They are stupid. They are all [like] [MET] dogs that cannot bark. [Good watchdogs bark when strangers approach], [but the Israeli leaders do not warn the people that their enemies are coming]. Instead, they just want to lie down and sleep and dream.
11 Y los perros, son voraces e insaciables; mientras que estos, los guardianes de las ovejas, carecen de sabiduría; todos han ido en pos de su placer, todos buscando ganancias; Son todos iguales.
[And they are like] greedy dogs; they never get all that they want. They are [supposed to lead the people, like good] shepherds [lead their flocks], but they are ignorant, and they each do whatever they want to do.
12 Vengan, dicen. Tomaré vino, y tomaremos una bebida fuerte en toda la medida; Y mañana será como hoy, lleno de placer.
They say to each other, ‘Come, let’s go and get some wine and [other] alcoholic/strong drinks, and let’s become drunk! And tomorrow we will enjoy drinking even more!’”
