Isaías, 56
1. Así dice Yahveh: Velad por la equidad y practicad la justicia, que mi salvación está para llegar y mi justicia para manifestarse.
1. Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation [is] near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2. Dichoso el mortal que tal haga, el hombre que persevere en ello, guardándose de profanar el sábado, guardando su mano de hacer nada malo.
2. Blessed [is] the man [that] doeth this, and the son of man [that] layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3. Que el extranjero que se adhiera a Yahveh, no diga: «¡De cierto que Yahveh me separará de su pueblo!» No diga el eunuco: «Soy un árbol seco.»
3. Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I [am] a dry tree.
4. Pues así dice Yahveh: Respecto a los eunucos que guardan mis sábados y eligen aquello que me agrada y se mantienen firmes en mi alianza,
4. For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose [the things] that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5. yo he de darles en mi Casa y en mis muros monumento y nombre mejor que hijos e hijas; nombre eterno les daré que no será borrado.
5. Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6. En cuanto a los extranjeros adheridos a Yahveh para su ministerio, para amar el nombre de Yahveh, y para ser sus siervos, a todo aquel que guarda el sábado sin profanarle y a los que se mantienen firmes en mi alianza,
6. Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7. yo les traeré a mi monte santo y les alegraré en mi Casa de oración. Sus holocaustos y sacrificios serán gratos sobre mi altar. Porque mi Casa será llamada Casa de oración para todos los pueblos.
7. Even them 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 mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
8. Oráculo del Señor Yahveh que reúne a los dispersos de Israel. A los ya reunidos todavía añadiré otros.
8. The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather [others] to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9. Bestias todas del campo, venid a comer, bestias todas del bosque.
9. All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, [yea], all ye beasts in the forest.
10. Sus vigías son ciegos, ninguno sabe nada; todos son perros mudos, no pueden ladrar; ven visiones, se acuestan, amigos de dormir.
10. His watchmen [are] blind: they are all ignorant, they [are] all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11. Son perros voraces, no conocen hartura, y ni los pastores saben entender. Cada uno sigue su propio camino cada cual, hasta el último, busca su provecho
11. Yea, [they are] greedy dogs [which] can never have enough, and they [are] shepherds [that] cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12. «Venid, voy a sacar vino y nos emborracharemos de licor, que el día de mañana será como el de hoy, o muchísimo mejor.»
12. Come ye, [say they], I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.
