Isaías 56
Rotherham Emphasized Bible (1902)
1Thus, saith Yahweh, Observe ye justice, And execute righteousness,—For near, is My salvation, to come in, and My righteousness to be revealed.
2How happy the frail man, who doeth this! Yea the son of the earth-born who firmly graspeth it! Keeping the sabbath lest he profane it, and Keeping his own hand from doing any wrong.
3And let not the son of the foreigner, who hath joined himself unto Yahweh, speak, saying, Yahweh, will separate, me from his people, Neither let the eunuch, say, Lo! I, am a tree dried up!
4For thus, saith Yahweh—Of the eunuchs, Who shall keep my sabbaths, And choose what I delight in,—And lay firm hold on my covenant,
5That I will give unto them—In my house, And within my walls, A sign and a name, better than sons and daughters,—A name age-abiding, will I give him, which shall not be cut off.
6And, as for the sons of the foreigner—Who have joined themselves unto Yahweh To wait upon him, and To love the name of Yahweh, To become his for servants,—Every one who keepeth the sabbath, lest he profane it. And who, layeth firm hold on my covenant,
7Surely I will bring them into my holy mountain And make them joyful in my house of prayer, Their ascending-offerings and their sacrifices, being accepted upon mine altar,—For, my house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the peoples!
8Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel:—Yet others, will I gather unto him Besides his own gathered ones.
9All ye beasts of the field! come ye to devour, All ye beasts in the forest.
10His watchmen, are blind None of them, know, All of them, are dumb dogs, they cannot bark,—Dreaming, sleeping, loving to slumber.
11And, the dogs, are greedy they know not to be satisfied. Yea, they, are shepherds who know not to discern,—All of them unto their own way, have turned, Every man to his unjust gain, on every hand:
12Come ye! I will fetch wine Let us fill ourselves with strong drink,—And like this day, shall, to-morrow be—Great beyond measure!
Reina-Valera 1909
1ASÍ dijo Jehová: Guardad derecho, y haced justicia: porque cercana está mi salud para venir, y mi justicia para manifestarse.
2Bienaventurado el hombre que esto hiciere, y el hijo del hombre que esto abrazare: que guarda el sábado de profanarlo, y que guarda su mano de hacer todo mal.
3Y el hijo del extranjero, allegado á Jehová, no hable diciendo: Apartaráme totalmente Jehová de su pueblo. Ni diga el eunuco: He aquí yo soy árbol seco.
4Porque así dijo Jehová á los eunucos que guardaren mis sábados, y escogieren lo que yo quiero, y abrazaren mi pacto:
5Yo les daré lugar en mi casa y dentro de mis muros, y nombre mejor que el de hijos é hijas; nombre perpetuo les daré que nunca perecerá.
6Y á los hijos de los extranjeros que se llegaren á Jehová para ministrarle, y que amaren el nombre de Jehová para ser sus siervos: á todos los que guardaren el sábado de profanarlo, y abrazaren mi pacto,
7Yo los llevaré al monte de mi santidad, y los recrearé en mi casa de oración; sus holocaustos y sus sacrificios serán aceptos sobre mi altar; porque mi casa, casa de oración será llamada de todos los pueblos.
8Dice el Señor Jehová, el que junta los echados de Israel: Aun juntaré sobre él sus congregados.
9Todas las bestias del campo, todas las bestias del monte, venid á devorar.
10Sus atalayas ciegos son, todos ellos ignorantes; todos ellos perros mudos, no pueden ladrar; soñolientos, echados, aman el dormir.
11Y esos perros ansiosos no conocen hartura; y los mismos pastores no supieron entender: todos ellos miran á sus caminos, cada uno á su provecho, cada uno por su cabo.
12Venid, dicen, tomaré vino, embriaguémonos de sidra; y será el día de mañana como este, ó mucho más excelente.
King James Version
1Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2Blessed 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.
3Neither 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.
4For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5Even 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.
6Also 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;
7Even 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.
8The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
10His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11Yea, 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.
12Come 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.
World English Bible
1The LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is near and my righteousness will soon be revealed.
2Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD speak, saying, “The LORD will surely separate me from his people.” Do not let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4For the LORD says, “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, choose the things that please me, and hold fast to my covenant,
5I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
6Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to serve him, and to love the LORD’s name, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant,
7I will bring these to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
8The Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, “I will yet gather others to him, in addition to his own who are gathered.”
9All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
10His watchmen are blind. They are all without knowledge. They are all mute dogs. They can’t bark— dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
11Yes, the dogs are greedy. They can never have enough. They are shepherds who can’t understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
12“Come,” they say, “I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow will be as today, great beyond measure.”
