1 A sí dijo el SEÑOR: Guardad derecho, y haced justicia; porque cercana está mi salud para venir, y mi justicia para manifestarse.

The Lord says, “Hold on to what is right and fair. Do what is right and good. My saving power will soon come, and I will show what is right.

2 B ienaventurado 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.

How happy is the man who does this, and the son of man who takes hold of it! How happy is he who keeps the Day of Rest holy, and keeps his hand from doing wrong.”

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.

Let not the man from a strange land who has joined the Lord say, “For sure the Lord will keep me away from His people.” Let not the man who had been made so that he could not have children say, “See, I am a dry tree.”

4 P orque así dijo el SEÑOR a los eunucos que guardaren mis sábados, y escogieren lo que yo quiero, y abrazaren mi pacto:

To these the Lord says, “If these servants keep My Days of Rest and choose what pleases Me, and hold on to My agreement,

5 Y o 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 something in My house and within My walls to be remembered. I will give them a name better than that of sons and daughters, a name that will be forever and never 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 those from a strange land who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him and to love His name, to be His servants, and keep the Day of Rest holy, and keep My agreement,

7 y o 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.

even those I will bring to My holy mountain and give them joy in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and gifts will be received on My altar. For My house will be called a house of prayer for all people.”

8 D ice el Señor DIOS, el que junta los echados de Israel, Aun juntaré sobre él sus ayuntados.

The Lord God Who gathers the people of Israel from other lands says, “I will gather yet others to them, besides those already gathered.” Israel’s Sinful Leaders

9 T odas las bestias del campo, todas las bestias del monte, venid a devorar.

All you animals of the field, all you animals among the trees, come to eat.

10 S us atalayas son ciegos; todos ellos son ignorantes; todos ellos son perros mudos, no pueden ladrar; dormidos, echados, aman el dormir.

The men of Israel who keep watch are blind to trouble. They know very little. They are all dogs that cannot make noise. They dream and lie down, and love to 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.

The dogs are hungry and never have enough. The shepherds have no understanding. They have all turned to their own way, each one wanting to get things for himself that are not his.

12 V enid, dicen, tomaré vino, embriaguémonos de sidra; y será el día de mañana como éste, o mucho más excelente.

“Come,” they say, “let us get wine. Let us drink much strong drink. And tomorrow will be even better than today.”
