1 T he 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.

Así dice Jehová: Guardad la equidad, y practicad la justicia; porque mi salvación está a punto de llegar; y mi justicia, de manifestarse.

2 H ow 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.”

Dichoso el hombre que hace esto, y el hijo de hombre que se aferra a ello; que guarda el sábado sin profanarlo, y que guarda su mano de hacer nada malo.

3 L et 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.”

Y el extranjero que sigue a Jehová no hable diciendo: Me apartará ciertamente Jehová de su pueblo. Ni diga el eunuco: He aquí, yo soy un árbol seco.

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

Porque así dice Jehová: A los eunucos que guarden mis sábados, y escojan lo que yo quiero, y se mantengan firmes en mi pacto,

5 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.

yo les daré lugar en mi casa, y dentro de mis muros un monumento y un nombre mejor que el de hijos e hijas; nombre perpetuo les daré, que nunca perecerá.

6 “ 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,

Y a los extranjeros que sigan a Jehová para servirle, y que amen el nombre de Jehová para ser sus siervos; a todos los que guarden el sábado sin profanarlo, y se mantengan firmes en mi pacto,

7 e ven 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.”

yo los llevaré a mi santo monte, y los alegraré en mi casa de oración; sus holocaustos y sus sacrificios serán aceptos sobre mi altar; porque mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todos los pueblos.

8 T he 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

Dice Jehová el Señor, el que reúne a los dispersos de Israel: Aún juntaré otros con él, además de sus congregados.

9 A ll you animals of the field, all you animals among the trees, come to eat.

Todas las bestias del campo, todas las fieras del bosque, venid a devorar.

10 T he 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.

Sus atalayas son todos ciegos, son ignorantes; todos ellos son perros mudos, no pueden ladrar; deliran, se acuestan, amigos de dormir.

11 T he 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.

Y esos perros comilones son insaciables; y esos mismos son pastores que no saben entender; todos ellos siguen sus propios caminos, cada uno busca su propio provecho, cada uno por su lado.

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

Venid, dicen, tomemos vino, embriaguémonos de licor; y será el día de mañana como éste, o mucho más excelente.
