Isaiah 54
1 Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.
¡Grita de júbilo, oh estéril, tú que no diste a luz! ¡Rompe con grito de alegría y da voces de júbilo, tú que no estuviste de parto! Porque más son los hijos de la desolada, que los hijos de la casada, dice Yavé.
2 Make wide the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your house be stretched out without limit: make your cords long, and your tent-pins strong.
Ensancha el lugar de tu tienda. Extiéndanse las cortinas de tu habitación. No te detengas. Alarga tus cuerdas y afirma tus estacas
3 For I will make wide your limits on the right hand and on the left; and your seed will take the nations for a heritage, and make the waste towns full of people.
porque te extenderás hacia la derecha y hacia la izquierda. Tu descendencia heredará naciones y volverán a poblar las ciudades desoladas.
4 Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.
No temas, porque no serás avergonzada. No te sonrojes, porque no serás afrentada. Porque olvidarás la vergüenza de tu juventud y no te acordarás de la afrenta de tu viudez.
5 For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.
Porque tu Esposo es tu Hacedor. Yavé de las Huestes es su Nombre. Tu Redentor es el Santo de Israel, Quien es llamado ʼElohim de toda la tierra.
6 For the Lord has made you come back to him, like a wife who has been sent away in grief of spirit; for one may not give up the wife of one's early days.
Porque Yavé te llamó como a una mujer abandonada y abatida que fue repudiada, dice tu ʼElohim.
7 For a short time I gave you up; but with great mercies I will take you back again.
Por un breve momento te abandoné, pero te recogeré con grandes misericordias.
8 In overflowing wrath my face was veiled from you for a minute, but I will have pity on you for ever, says the Lord who takes up your cause.
En un arrebato de ira, por un breve momento, escondí mi rostro de ti. Pero con misericordia eterna tendré compasión de ti, dice Yavé, tu Redentor.
9 For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.
Esto será para Mí como en los días de Noé. Juré que las aguas de Noé nunca más pasarían sobre la tierra. Así juré que no me enojaré contra ti ni te reprenderé.
10 For the mountains may be taken away, and the hills be moved out of their places, but my love will not be taken from you, or my agreement of peace broken, says the Lord, who has had mercy on you.
Las montañas pueden ser removidas y las colinas pueden temblar, pero mi misericordia no será removida de ti, ni será sacudido mi Pacto de paz, dice Yavé, Quien tiene compasión de ti.
11 O troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be sapphires.
¡Pobrecita, zarandeada por la tempestad y sin consuelo! Ciertamente Yo asentaré tus piedras sobre turquesas y echaré tus cimientos sobre zafiros.
12 I will make your towers of rubies, and your doors of carbuncles, and the wall round you will be of all sorts of beautiful stones.
Haré tus capiteles de rubíes, tus puertas de carbunclo y todo tu muro de piedras preciosas.
13 And all your builders will be made wise by the Lord; and great will be the peace of your children.
Todos tus hijos serán enseñados por Yavé. Se multiplicará la paz de tus hijos.
14 All your rights will be made certain to you: have no fear of evil, and destruction will not come near you.
Serás adornada con justicia. Estarás alejada de opresión, porque no temerás, pues no se acercará a ti.
15 See, they may be moved to war, but not by my authority: all those who come together to make an attack on you, will be broken against you.
Si alguno conspira contra ti, lo hará sin Mí. El que conspire contra ti, caerá delante de ti.
16 See, I have made the iron-worker, blowing on the burning coals, and making the instrument of war by his work; and I have made the waster for destruction.
Ciertamente Yo creé al herrero, quien sopla las brasas en el fuego y forja herramientas para su obra, pero también creé al destructor para que destruya.
17 No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.
Ningún arma forjada contra ti prosperará. Tú condenarás a toda lengua que se levante en juicio contra ti. Esta es la herencia de los esclavos de Yavé. Su salvación vendrá de Mí, dice Yavé.
