Isaiah 26
1 In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark.
En aquel día cantarán este cantar en tierra de Judá: Fuerte ciudad tenemos: salud puso por muros y antemuro.
2 Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter.
Abríd las puertas, y entrará la nación justa, guardadora de verdades.
3 The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.
Sentencia firme: Que guardarás paz, paz; porque en ti se han confiado,
4 You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever.
Confiád en Jehová perpetuamente; porque en Jah Jehová está la fortaleza de los siglos.
5 For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to 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 The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent.
Hollarla ha pie, pies de afligido, pasos de menesterosos.
7 The path of the just is upright; the difficult path of the just is right to walk in.
Camino derecho para el justo: Tú, recto, pesas el camino del justo.
8 And in the path of your judgments, O Lord, we have endured for you. Your name and your remembrance are the desire of the soul.
Aun en el camino de tus juicios, o! Jehová, te esperamos: a tu nombre, y a tu memoria es el deseo del alma.
9 My soul has desired you in the night. But I will also watch for you with my spirit, in my inmost heart, from the morning. When you accomplish your judgments upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn justice.
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 Let us take pity on the impious one, but he will not learn justice. In the land of the holy ones, he has done iniquity, and so he 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, let your hand be exalted, and let them not see it. May the envious people see and be confounded. And may fire devour your enemies.
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 have been wrought for us by you.
Jehová, aparejarnos has paz; porque también obraste en nosotros todas nuestras obras,
13 O Lord our God, other lords have possessed us apart from you, but in you alone let us remember your name.
Jehová Dios nuestro, señores se enseñorearon de nosotros sin ti; mas en ti solamente nos acordaremos de tu nombre.
14 Let not the dead live; let not the giants rise up again. For this reason, you have visited and destroyed them, and you have perished all remembrance of them.
Muertos, no vivirán: privados de la vida no resucitarán; porque los visitaste, y destruiste, y deshiciste toda su memoria.
15 You have been lenient to the people, O Lord, lenient to the people. But have you been glorified? You have removed all the limits of the earth.
Añadiste a la nación, o! Jehová, añadiste a la nación: hicístete glorioso: extendiste hasta todos los términos de la tierra.
16 Lord, they have sought you in anguish. Your doctrine was with them, amid the tribulation of murmuring.
Jehová, en la tribulación te visitaron: derramaron oración cuando los castigaste.
17 Like a woman who has conceived and is approaching the time for delivery, who, in anguish, cries out in her pains, so have we become before your face, 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 conceived, and it is as if we were in labor, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought forth salvation on the earth. For this reason, the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
Concebimos, tuvimos dolores de parto, parimos como viento: saludes no se hicieron en la tierra, ni cayeron los moradores del mundo.
19 Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination.
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 Go, my people! Enter your chambers. Close your doors behind you. Conceal yourselves for a very brief time, until the indignation has passed over you.
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 behold, the Lord will go forth from his place, so that he may visit the iniquity of each inhabitant of the earth against him. And the earth will reveal its blood, and it will no longer cover its slain.
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.
