1 A sí dice el Señor: “Preserven el derecho y hagan justicia, Porque Mi salvación está para llegar Y Mi justicia para ser revelada.

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

2 C uán bienaventurado es el hombre que hace esto, Y el hijo del hombre que a ello se aferra; Que guarda el día de reposo sin profanarlo, Y guarda su mano de hacer mal alguno.”

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 Q ue el extranjero que se ha allegado al Señor, no diga: “Ciertamente el Señor me separará de Su pueblo.” Ni diga el eunuco: “Soy un 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 P orque así dice el Señor: “A los eunucos que guardan Mis días de reposo, Escogen lo que Me agrada Y se mantienen firmes en Mi pacto,

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 L es daré en Mi casa y en Mis muros un lugar, Y un nombre mejor que el de hijos e hijas. Les daré nombre eterno que nunca será borrado.

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 extranjeros que se unan al Señor Para servirle, y para amar el nombre del Señor, Para ser Sus siervos, a todos los que guardan el día de reposo sin profanarlo, Y se mantienen firmes en Mi pacto,

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 Y o los traeré a Mi santo monte, Y los alegraré en Mi casa de oración. Sus holocaustos y sus sacrificios serán aceptados sobre Mi altar; Porque Mi casa será llamada casa de oración para 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 for a pleasing thing on Mine altar, For My house, `A house of prayer,' Is called for all the peoples.

8 D eclara el Señor Dios que reúne a los dispersos de Israel: “Todavía les juntaré otros a los ya reunidos.”

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

9 T odas las bestias del campo, Todas las bestias del bosque, Vengan a comer.

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

10 L os centinelas de Israel son ciegos, Ninguno sabe nada. Todos son perros mudos que no pueden ladrar, Soñadores acostados, amigos de dormir;

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

11 Y los perros son voraces, no se sacian. Ellos son pastores que no saben entender. Todos se han apartado por su propio camino, Cada cual, hasta el último, busca su propia ganancia.

And the dogs strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they 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 “ Vengan,” dicen “busquemos vino y embriaguémonos de licor; Y mañana será como hoy, sólo que mucho mejor.”

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