Isaiah 27
1 In that day, the Lord will visit, with his harsh and great and strong sword, against Leviathan, the barred serpent, and against Leviathan, the twisted serpent, and he will slay the whale that 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, the vineyard of pure wine will sing to them.
En ese momento, canta sobre una hermosa viña.
3 I am the Lord, who watches over it. I will suddenly give drink to it. I will watch over it, night and day, lest perhaps someone visit against it.
Yo, el Señor, la cuido, regándola a menudo. La cuido de noche y de día para que nadie la dañe.
4 Indignation is not mine. Who will be a thorn and a brier to me in battle? I will advance against them. I set them on fire together.
Ya no me enfado. Si hay espinas y zarzas, yo iría a combatirlas, y las quemaría todas,
5 Or will he, instead, take hold of my strength? Will he make peace with me? Will she 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 As they advance with violence against Jacob, Israel will flourish and spring forth, and they will fill the face of the world with offspring.
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 Has he struck him with the scourge that he himself used to strike others? Or has he killed in the manner that he himself used to kill his victims?
¿Ha golpeado el Señor a Israel como golpeó a los que lo atacaron? ¿Los ha matado como mató a sus asesinos?
8 You will judge this by comparing one measure to another, when he has been cast out. He has decided this, by his stern spirit, for the day of heat.
Se ocupó de ellos enviándolos al exilio, desterrándolos. Los expulsó con su poderosa fuerza, como cuando sopla el viento del este.
9 Therefore, concerning this, the iniquity of the house of Jacob will be forgiven. And this is the reward of all: that their sin be taken away, when he will have made all the stones of the altar to be like crushed cinders. For the sacred groves and the shrines shall not stand.
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 fortified city will be desolate. The shining city will be abandoned and will be left behind like a desert. In that place, the calf will pasture, and in that place, he will lie down, and he will feed from its summits.
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 Its harvest will be crushed by dryness. Women will arrive and teach it, for it is not a wise people. Because of this, he who made it will not take pity on it, and he who formed it will not spare it.
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 this shall be: in that day, the Lord will strike, from the channel of the river, even to the torrent of Egypt. And you shall be gathered together, one by one, O sons 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 this shall be: in that day, a noise will be made with a great trumpet. And those who had been lost will approach from the land of the Assyrians, with those who had been outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they will adore the Lord, on the holy mountain, in 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.
