< Isaiah 52 >
1 Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.
Despiértate, despiértate, vístete tu fortaleza, oh Sion; vístete tus ropas de hermosura, oh Jerusalén, ciudad santa, porque nunca más acontecerá, que venga en ti incircunciso, ni inmundo.
2 Make yourself clean from the dust; up! and take the seat of your power, O Jerusalem: the bands of your neck are loose, O prisoned daughter of Zion.
Sacúdete del polvo, levántate, siéntate, Jerusalén; suéltate de las ataduras de tu cuello, cautiva hija de Sion.
3 For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price.
Porque así dice el SEÑOR: De balde fuisteis vendidos; por tanto, sin dinero seréis rescatados.
4 For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause.
Porque así dijo el Señor DIOS: Mi pueblo descendió a Egipto en tiempo pasado, para peregrinar allá; y el Assur lo cautivó sin razón.
5 Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.
Y ahora ¿qué a mí aquí? Dice el SEÑOR: que mi pueblo sea tomado sin por qué; y los que en él se enseñorean, lo hacen aullar, dice el SEÑOR, y continuamente mi nombre es blasfemado todo el día.
6 For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.
Por tanto, mi pueblo sabrá mi nombre por esta causa en aquel día; porque yo mismo que hablo, he aquí estaré presente.
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!
¡Cuán hermosos son sobre los montes los pies del que trae alegres nuevas, del que publica la paz, del que trae nuevas del bien, del que publica salud, del que dice a Sion: Reina tu Dios!
8 The voice of your watchmen! their voices are loud in song together; for they will see him, eye to eye, when the Lord comes back to Zion.
¡Voz de tus atalayas! Alzarán la voz, juntamente jubilarán; porque ojo a ojo verán, como torna el SEÑOR a traer a Sion.
9 Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.
Cantad alabanzas, alegraos juntamente las soledades de Jerusalén; porque el SEÑOR ha consolado a su pueblo, ha redimido a Jerusalén.
10 The Lord has let his holy arm be seen by the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
El SEÑOR desnudó el brazo de su santidad ante los ojos de todos los gentiles. Y todos los términos de la tierra verán la salud del Dios nuestro.
11 Away! away! go out from there, touching no unclean thing; go out from among her; be clean, you who take up the vessels of the Lord.
Apartaos, apartaos; salid de allí; no toquéis cosa inmunda. Salid de en medio de ella; sed limpios los que lleváis los vasos del SEÑOR.
12 For you will not go out suddenly, and you will not go in flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will come after you to keep you.
Porque no saldréis apresurados, ni iréis huyendo; porque el SEÑOR irá delante de vosotros, y el Dios de Israel os ayuntará.
13 See, my servant will do well in his undertakings, he will be honoured, and lifted up, and be very high.
He aquí, que mi siervo será prosperado, será engrandecido, y ensalzado, y será muy sublimado.
14 As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.
Como te abominaron muchos, en tanta manera fue desfigurado de los hombres su parecer; y su hermosura, de los hijos de los hombres.
15 So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears.
Pero él rociará a muchos gentiles. Los reyes cerrarán sobre él sus bocas, porque verán lo que nunca les fue contado; y entenderán, lo que nunca oyeron.
