Isaías 56
Reina Valera Actualizada
Exhortación a los creyentes gentiles
56 Así ha dicho el SEÑOR: “Guarden el derecho y practiquen la justicia; porque mi salvación está próxima a venir, y mi justicia pronta a ser revelada. 2 Bienaventurado el hombre que hace esto, y el hijo de hombre que persevera en ello, que guarda el sábado no profanándolo y que guarda su mano de hacer el mal”.
3 El hijo del extranjero que se ha adherido al SEÑOR no hable diciendo: “Sin duda, el SEÑOR me separará de su pueblo”. Tampoco diga el eunuco: “He aquí, yo soy un árbol seco”. 4 Porque así ha dicho el SEÑOR: “A los eunucos que guardan mis sábados, que escogen lo que yo quiero y que abrazan mi pacto, 5 yo les daré en mi casa y dentro de mis muros un lugar y un nombre mejor que el de hijos e hijas. Les daré un nombre eterno que nunca será borrado.
6 “A los hijos de los extranjeros que se han adherido al SEÑOR para servirle y que aman el nombre del SEÑOR para ser sus siervos, a todos los que guardan el sábado no profanándolo y que abrazan mi pacto, 7 a estos yo los traeré al monte de mi santidad y los llenaré de alegría en mi casa de oración. Sus holocaustos y sus sacrificios serán aceptados sobre mi altar, pues mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todos los pueblos”.
8 El SEÑOR Dios[a], que reúne a los rechazados de Israel, dice: “Aun reuniré otros más con sus ya reunidos”.
Contra la indolencia y la idolatría
9 ¡Todos los animales del campo, todos los animales del bosque, vengan a comer!
10 Sus centinelas son ciegos; no conocen. Todos ellos son perros mudos que no pueden ladrar, videntes[b] echados que aman el dormitar. 11 Son perros comilones e insaciables; son pastores que no saben entender. Todos ellos se apartan tras sus propios caminos, cada cual tras su propio provecho. 12 Dicen: “Vengan; traeré vino, y nos embriagaremos con licor. El día de mañana será como este, o aun mucho mejor”.

Isaiah 56
Common English Bible
Keepers of God’s Sabbath
56 The Lord says:
Act justly and do what is righteous,
because my salvation is coming soon,
and my righteousness will be revealed.
2 Happy is the one who does this,
the person who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath, not making it impure,
and avoids doing any evil.
3 Don’t let the immigrant who has joined with the Lord say,
“The Lord will exclude me from the people.”
And don’t let the eunuch say,
“I’m just a dry tree.”
4 The Lord says:
To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths,
choose what I desire,
and remain loyal to my covenant.
5 In my temple and courts, I will give them
a monument and a name better than sons and daughters.
I will give to them an enduring name
that won’t be removed.
6 The immigrants who have joined me,[a]
serving me and loving my name,[b] becoming my servants,[c]
everyone who keeps the Sabbath without making it impure,
and those who hold fast to my covenant:
7 I will bring them to my holy mountain,
and bring them joy in my house of prayer.
I will accept their entirely burned offerings and sacrifices on my altar.
My house will be known as a house of prayer for all peoples,
8 says the Lord God,
who gathers Israel’s outcasts.
I will gather still others to those I have already gathered.
Neglectful leaders
9 All you beasts of the field,
come and eat, all you beasts of the forest!
10 The lookouts are blind;
they all lack sense.
They are all mute dogs that can’t bark,
dreamers, loungers, loving to sleep.
11 But the dogs have monstrous appetites.
They never have enough.
They are shepherds who don’t understand.
All of them have turned to their own ways,
every last one greedy for profit.
12 “Come! I’ll get some wine!
Let’s drink beer!
Tomorrow will be like today, or even much better.”

New International Version
Salvation for Others
56 This is what the Lord says:
“Maintain justice(A)
and do what is right,(B)
for my salvation(C) is close at hand
and my righteousness(D) will soon be revealed.
2 Blessed(E) is the one who does this—
the person who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath(F) without desecrating it,
and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”
3 Let no foreigner(G) who is bound to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.”(H)
And let no eunuch(I) complain,
“I am only a dry tree.”
4 For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs(J) who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases me
and hold fast to my covenant(K)—
5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls(L)
a memorial(M) and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name(N)
that will endure forever.(O)
6 And foreigners(P) who bind themselves to the Lord
to minister(Q) to him,
to love the name(R) of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath(S) without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant—
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain(T)
and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices(U)
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
a house of prayer for all nations.(V)”(W)
8 The Sovereign Lord declares—
he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
“I will gather(X) still others to them
besides those already gathered.”
God’s Accusation Against the Wicked
9 Come, all you beasts of the field,(Y)
come and devour, all you beasts of the forest!
10 Israel’s watchmen(Z) are blind,
they all lack knowledge;(AA)
they are all mute dogs,
they cannot bark;
they lie around and dream,
they love to sleep.(AB)
11 They are dogs with mighty appetites;
they never have enough.
They are shepherds(AC) who lack understanding;(AD)
they all turn to their own way,(AE)
they seek their own gain.(AF)
12 “Come,” each one cries, “let me get wine!(AG)
Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
or even far better.”(AH)
