< Isaiah 26 >

1 In that day will this song be made in the land of Judah: We have a strong town; he will make salvation our walls and towers.
En aquel día cantarán este cantar en tierra de Judá: Fuerte ciudad tenemos: salud puso por muros y antemuro.
2 Let the doors be open, so that the upright nation which keeps faith may come in.
Abríd las puertas, y entrará la nación justa, guardadora de verdades.
3 The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.
Sentencia firme: Que guardarás paz, paz; porque en ti se han confiado,
4 Let your hope be in the Lord for ever: for the Lord Jah is an unchanging Rock.
Confiád en Jehová perpetuamente; porque en Jah Jehová está la fortaleza de los siglos.
5 For he has made low those who are lifted up, all the people of the town of pride: he makes it low, crushing it down to the earth; he makes it low in the dust.
Porque él derribó los que moraban en lugar sublime: humilló la ciudad ensalzada, humillóla hasta la tierra, la derribó hasta el polvo.
6 It will be crushed under the feet of the poor and the steps of those who are in need.
Hollarla ha pie, pies de afligido, pasos de menesterosos.
7 The way of the good man is straight; the road of the upright is made smooth by you.
Camino derecho para el justo: Tú, recto, pesas el camino del justo.
8 We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.
Aun en el camino de tus juicios, o! Jehová, te esperamos: a tu nombre, y a tu memoria es el deseo del alma.
9 In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.
Con mi alma te deseo en la noche; y entre tanto que me durare el espíritu en medio de mí, madrugaré a buscarte; porque desde que hay juicios tuyos en la tierra, los moradores del mundo aprenden justicia.
10 Even if you are kind to the evil-doer, he will not go after righteousness; even in the land of the upright he will still go on in his wrongdoing, and will not see the glory of the Lord.
Alcanzará piedad el impío, no aprendará justicia: en tierra de rectitud hará iniquidad, y no mirará a la majestad de Jehová.
11 Lord, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see: let them see ... yes, your haters will be burned up in the fire.
Jehová, por mucho que se levante tu mano, no verán: verán, y avergonzarse han con zelo del pueblo; y a tus enemigos fuego los consumirá.
12 Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose.
Jehová, aparejarnos has paz; porque también obraste en nosotros todas nuestras obras,
13 O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.
Jehová Dios nuestro, señores se enseñorearon de nosotros sin ti; mas en ti solamente nos acordaremos de tu nombre.
14 The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.
Muertos, no vivirán: privados de la vida no resucitarán; porque los visitaste, y destruiste, y deshiciste toda su memoria.
15 You have made the nation great, O Lord, you have made it great; glory is yours: you have made wide the limits of the land.
Añadiste a la nación, o! Jehová, añadiste a la nación: hicístete glorioso: extendiste hasta todos los términos de la tierra.
16 Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.
Jehová, en la tribulación te visitaron: derramaron oración cuando los castigaste.
17 As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.
Como la preñada cuando se acerca al parto gime, y da gritos con sus dolores, así hemos sido delante de ti, o! Jehová.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.
Concebimos, tuvimos dolores de parto, parimos como viento: saludes no se hicieron en la tierra, ni cayeron los moradores del mundo.
19 Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.
Tus muertos vivirán, y junto con mi cuerpo resucitarán. Despertád, y cantád moradores del polvo, porque tu rocío, como rocío de hortalizas; y la tierra echará los muertos.
20 Come, my people, into your secret places, and let your doors be shut: keep yourself safe for a short time, till his wrath is over.
Anda pues, pueblo mío, éntrate en tus cámaras, cierra tus puertas tras ti: escóndete un poquito, por un momento, entre tanto que pasa la ira.
21 For the Lord is coming out of his place to send punishment on the people of the earth for their evil-doing: the earth will let the blood drained out on her be seen, and will keep her dead covered no longer.
Porque he aquí que Jehová sale de su lugar, para visitar la maldad del morador de la tierra contra él; y la tierra descubrirá sus sangres, y más no encubrirá sus muertos.
