Isaías 56
1 Así dijo el SEÑOR: Guardad derecho, y haced justicia; porque cercana está mi salud para venir, y mi justicia para manifestarse.
The Lord says, Let your way of life be upright, and let your behaviour be rightly ordered: for my salvation is near, and my righteousness will quickly be seen.
2 Bienaventurado el hombre, que esto hiciere; y el hijo del hombre, que esto abrazare; que guarda el sábado de contaminarlo, y que guarda su mano de hacer todo mal.
Happy is the man who does this, and the son of man whose behaviour is so ordered; who keeps the Sabbath holy, and his hand from doing any evil.
3 Y el hijo del extranjero, allegado al SEÑOR, no hable diciendo: Me apartará totalmente el SEÑOR de su pueblo. Ni diga el eunuco: He aquí yo soy árbol seco.
And let not the man from a strange country, who has been joined to the Lord, say, The Lord will certainly put a division between me and his people: and let not the unsexed man say, See, I am a dry tree.
4 Porque así dijo el SEÑOR a los eunucos que guardaren mis sábados, y escogieren lo que yo quiero, y abrazaren mi pacto:
For the Lord says, As for the unsexed who keep my Sabbaths, and give their hearts to pleasing me, and keep their agreement with me:
5 Yo les daré lugar en mi casa, y dentro de mis muros, y nombre, mejor que a los hijos y a los hijas; nombre perpetuo les daré que nunca perecerá.
I will give to them in my house, and inside my walls, a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an eternal name which will not be cut off.
6 Y a los hijos de los extranjeros, que se allegaren al SEÑOR, para ministrarle, y que amaren el nombre del SEÑOR, para ser sus siervos; todos los que guardaren el Sábado de contaminarlo, y abrazaren mi Pacto,
And as for those from a strange country, who are joined to the Lord, to give worship to him and honour to his name, to be his servants, even everyone who keeps the Sabbath holy, and keeps his agreement with me:
7 yo los llevaré al monte de mi santidad; y los recrearé 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 make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.
8 Dice el Señor DIOS, el que junta los echados de Israel, Aun juntaré sobre él sus ayuntados.
The Lord God, who gets together the wandering ones of Israel, says, I will get together others in addition to those of Israel who have come back.
9 Todas las bestias del campo, todas las bestias del monte, venid a devorar.
All you beasts of the field, come together for your meat, even all you beasts of the wood.
10 Sus atalayas son ciegos; todos ellos son ignorantes; todos ellos son perros mudos, no pueden ladrar; dormidos, echados, aman el dormir.
His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dogs without tongues, unable to make a sound; stretched out dreaming, loving sleep.
11 Y esos perros ansiosos son insaciables; y los mismos pastores no supieron entender; todos ellos miran a sus caminos, cada uno a su provecho, cada uno por su cabo.
Yes, the dogs are for ever looking for food; while these, the keepers of the sheep, are without wisdom: they have all gone after their pleasure, every one looking for profit; they are all the same.
12 Venid, dicen, tomaré vino, embriaguémonos de sidra; y será el día de mañana como éste, o mucho más excelente.
Come, they say, I will get wine, and we will take strong drink in full measure; and tomorrow will be like today, full of pleasure.
