Isaiah 27
1 In that day the Lord, with his great and strong and cruel sword, will send punishment on Leviathan, the quick-moving snake, and on Leviathan, the twisted snake; and he will put to death the dragon which is in the sea.
En ese momento el Señor tomará su espada afilada, grande y fuerte, y castigará a Leviatán, la serpiente escurridiza, y a Leviatán, la serpiente enroscada, y matará al dragón del mar.
2 In that day it will be said, A vine-garden of delight, make a song about it.
En ese momento, canta sobre una hermosa viña.
3 I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it.
Yo, el Señor, la cuido, regándola a menudo. La cuido de noche y de día para que nadie la dañe.
4 My passion is over: if the thorns were fighting against me, I would make an attack on them, and they would be burned up together.
Ya no me enfado. Si hay espinas y zarzas, yo iría a combatirlas, y las quemaría todas,
5 Or let him put himself under my power, and make peace with me.
De lo contrario, deberían acudir a mí en busca de protección. Que hagan las paces conmigo, sí, que hagan las paces conmigo.
6 In days to come Jacob will take root: Israel will put out buds and flowers; and the face of the world will be full of fruit.
En el futuro los descendientes de Jacob serán como un árbol que echa raíces. Israel florecerá y echará brotes, y llenará de frutos el mundo entero.
7 Is his punishment like the punishment of those who overcame him? or are his dead as great in number as those he put to the sword?
¿Ha golpeado el Señor a Israel como golpeó a los que lo atacaron? ¿Los ha matado como mató a sus asesinos?
8 Your anger against her has been made clear by driving her away; he has taken her away with his storm-wind in the day of his east wind.
Se ocupó de ellos enviándolos al exilio, desterrándolos. Los expulsó con su poderosa fuerza, como cuando sopla el viento del este.
9 So by this will the sin of Jacob be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his punishment; when all the stones of the altar are crushed together, so that the wood pillars and the sun-images will not be put up again.
A través de esta experiencia la culpa de Jacob será perdonada. La eliminación de sus pecados dará sus frutos cuando tomen todas las piedras de los altares paganos y las hagan pedazos como si fueran tiza: no quedarán en pie postes de Asera ni altares de incienso.
10 For the strong town is without men, an unpeopled living-place; and she has become a waste land: there the young ox will take his rest, and its branches will be food for him.
La ciudad fortificada será abandonada, sus casas estarán vacías y solitarias como un desierto. El ganado pastará y descansará allí, desnudando las ramas de sus árboles.
11 When its branches are dry they will be broken off; the women will come and put fire to them: for it is a foolish people; for this cause he who made them will have no mercy on them, and he whose work they are will not have pity on them.
Sus ramas secas serán arrancadas y utilizadas por las mujeres para hacer fuego. Este es un pueblo que no tiene sentido común, por lo que su Creador no se compadecerá de él, y su Creador no lo ayudará.
12 And it will be in that day that the Lord will get together his grain, from the River to the stream of Egypt, and you will be got together with care, O children of Israel.
En ese momento el Señor trillará el grano cosechado desde el río Éufrates hasta el Wadi de Egipto, y ustedes, israelitas, serán recogidos uno por uno.
13 And it will be in that day that a great horn will be sounded; and those who were wandering in the land of Assyria, and those who had been sent away into the land of Egypt, will come; and they will give worship to the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
En ese momento sonará una fuerte trompeta, y los que estaban muriendo en Asiria regresarán junto con los exiliados en Egipto. Vendrán a adorar al Señor en el monte santo de Jerusalén.
