Isaías 56

1 Así dijo Jehová: Guardád derecho, y hacéd justicia; porque cercana está mi salud para venir, y mi justicia para manifestarse.

Thus said Jehovah: 'Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness, For near [is] My salvation to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.'

2 Bienaventurado el hombre que esto hiciere, y el hijo del hombre que tomare esto: Que guarda el sábado de contaminarle, y que guarda su mano de hacer todo mal.

O the happiness of a man who doth this, And of a son of man who keepeth hold on it, Keeping the sabbath from polluting it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.

3 Y no diga el hijo del extranjero allegado a Jehová, diciendo: Apartando me apartará Jehová de su pueblo; ni diga el castrado: He aquí, yo soy árbol seco.

Nor speak let a son of the stranger, Who is joined unto Jehovah, saying: 'Jehovah doth certainly separate me from His people.' Nor say let the eunuch, 'Lo, I am a tree dried up,'

4 Porque así dijo Jehová a los castrados, que guardaren mis sábados, y escogieren lo que yo quiero, y tomaren mi concierto:

For thus said Jehovah of the eunuchs, Who do keep My sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on My covenant:

5 Yo les daré lugar en mi casa, y dentro de mis muros: y nombre mejor que a los hijos y a las hijas: nombre perpetuo les daré que nunca perecerá.

I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, A name age-during I give to him That is not cut off.

6 Y a los hijos de los extranjeros que se llegaren a Jehová para ministrarle, y que amaren el nombre de Jehová para ser sus siervos: todos los que guardaren el sábado de contaminarle, y tomaren mi concierto:

And sons of the stranger, who are joined to Jehovah, To serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, To be to Him for servants, Every keeper of the sabbath from polluting it, And those keeping hold on My covenant.

7 Yo los llevaré al monte de mi santidad, y festejarlos he en la casa de mi oración: sus holocaustos y sus sacrificios serán aceptos sobre mi altar; porque mi casa, casa de oración será llamada de todos los pueblos.

I have brought them unto My holy mountain, And caused them to rejoice in My house of prayer, Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [Are] for a pleasing thing on Mine altar, For My house, 'A house of prayer,' Is called for all the peoples.

8 Dice el Señor Jehová, el que junta los echados de Israel: Aun juntaré sobre él sus congregados.

An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: 'Again I gather to him — to his gathered ones.'

9 Todas las bestias del campo, veníd a tragar, todas las bestias del monte.

Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in the forest.

10 Sus atalayas, ciegos: todos ellos ignorantes, todos ellos perros mudos: no pueden ladrar, dormidos, echados, aman el dormir.

Blind [are] his watchmen — all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] dumb dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.

11 Y aquellos perros animosos no conocen hartura; y los mismos pastores no supieron entender: todos ellos miran a sus caminos, cada uno a su provecho, cada uno por su cabo.

And the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them to their own way they did turn, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter:

12 Veníd, tomaré vino, embriaguémosnos de sidra; y será el día de mañana como este, mucho más excelente.

'Come ye, I take wine, And we drink, quaff strong drink, And as this day hath been to-morrow, Great — exceeding abundant!'
