Isaiah 25
1 O Lord, you are my God; I will give praise to you, I will give honour to your name; for you have done great acts of power; your purposes in the past have been made true and certain in effect.
Oh Yavé, Tú eres mi ʼElohim. Te exaltaré. Alabaré tu Nombre, porque hiciste maravillas, tus designios antiguos, con perfecta fidelidad.
2 For you have made a town a waste place: a strong town a mass of broken walls; the tower of the men of pride has come to an end; it will never be put up again.
Porque convertiste la ciudad en una pila de escombros. La ciudad fortificada en ruinas. [El] palacio de extranjeros ya no existe. Nunca será reconstruido.
3 For this cause will the strong people give glory to you, the town of the cruel ones will be in fear of you.
Por tanto un pueblo fuerte te glorifica. Las ciudades de naciones crueles te temen.
4 For you have been a strong place for the poor and the crushed in their trouble, a safe place from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the wrath of the cruel ones is like a winter storm.
Porque fuiste fortaleza para el pobre, fortaleza para el necesitado en su aflicción, refugio de la tormenta, sombra contra el calor. Porque el aliento de los tiranos es como una tormenta contra un muro.
5 As heat by the shade of a cloud, the noise of the men of pride has been made quiet by you; as heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the cruel ones has been stopped.
Como el calor en un sequedal, así abates el tumulto de los extranjeros. Como el calor bajo la sombra de una nube, silencias el cántico de los tiranos.
6 And in this mountain will the Lord of armies make for all peoples a feast of good things, a feast of wines long stored, of good things sweet to the taste, of wines long kept and tested.
En esta Montaña Yavé de las huestes ofrecerá a todos los pueblos un banquete con manjares suculentos, un banquete con vinos añejos, con presas escogidas llenas de médula y con vino añejo purificado.
7 And in this mountain he will put an end to the shade covering the face of all peoples, and the veil which is stretched over all nations.
En esta Montaña destruirá la ropa que cubre a todos los pueblos y el velo que envuelve a todas las naciones.
8 He has put an end to death for ever; and the Lord God will take away all weeping; and he will put an end to the shame of his people in all the earth: for the Lord has said it.
¡Él sorberá la muerte para siempre! ʼAdonay Yavé enjugará las lágrimas de todo semblante y quitará el oprobio de su pueblo en toda la tierra, porque Yavé habló.
9 And in that day it will be said, See, this is our God; we have been waiting for him, and he will be our saviour: this is the Lord in whom is our hope; we will be glad and have delight in his salvation.
Aquel día se dirá: Ciertamente Éste es nuestro ʼElohim. Lo esperamos, y nos salvó. Éste es Yavé, a Quien esperamos. Regocijémonos y alegrémonos por su salvación.
10 For in this mountain will the hand of the Lord come to rest, and Moab will be crushed down in his place, even as the dry stems of the grain are crushed under foot in the waste place.
La mano de Yavé reposará sobre esta Montaña. Moab será pisoteado en su sitio, como se pisa el pasto en el agua de una pila de estiércol.
11 And if he puts out his hands, like a man stretching out his hands in swimming, the Lord will make low his pride, however expert his designs.
Extenderá sus manos en medio de él como el nadador al nadar, pero Él abatirá su soberbia y el esfuerzo de sus manos,
12 And the strong tower of your walls has been broken by him, made low, and crushed even to the dust.
y derribará la fortaleza de sus altos muros. Lo humillará y lo echará a tierra hasta el polvo.
