Isaías 56

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

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 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.

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 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.

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

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 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 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 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:

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

“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!”
