Isaiah 26
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
En aquel día cantarán este cantar en tierra de Judá: Fuerte ciudad tenemos; salud puso Dios por muros y antemuro.
2 Open all of you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
Abrid las puertas, y entrará la gente justa, guardadora de verdades.
3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.
Tú le guardarás en completa paz, cuyo pensamiento en ti persevera; porque en ti se ha confiado.
4 Trust all of you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
Confiad en el SEÑOR perpetuamente, porque en JAH, el SEÑOR está la fortaleza de los siglos.
5 For he brings down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he lays it low; he lays it low, even to the ground; he brings it even to the dust.
Porque él derribó a los que moraban en lugar sublime; humilló a la ciudad ensalzada, la humilló hasta la tierra, la derribó hasta el polvo.
6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
La hollará pie, los pies del pobre, los pasos de los menesterosos.
7 The way of the just is uprightness: you, most upright, do weigh the path of the just.
El camino del justo es rectitud; tú, recto, pesas el camino del justo.
8 Yea, in the way of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you; the desire of our soul is to your name, and to the remembrance of you.
Aun en el camino de tus juicios, oh SEÑOR, te esperamos, a tu nombre y a tu memoria es el deseo del alma.
9 With my soul have I desired you in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Con mi alma te deseo en la noche, y entre tanto que me dure 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 favour be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
Alcanzará piedad el impío, y no aprenderá justicia; en tierra de rectitud hará iniquidad, y no mirará a la majestad del SEÑOR.
11 LORD, when your hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of your enemies shall devour them.
SEÑOR, cuando se levante tu mano, no verán; verán al cabo, y se avergonzarán con celo del pueblo. Y a tus enemigos fuego los consumirá.
12 LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have wrought all our works in us.
SEÑOR, tú nos depararás paz; porque también obraste en nosotros todas nuestras obras.
13 O LORD our God, other lords beside you have had dominion over us: but by you only will we make mention of your name.
SEÑOR Dios nuestro, señores se han enseñoreado de nosotros sin ti; mas en ti solamente nos acordaremos de tu nombre.
14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Muertos son, no vivirán; privados de la vida no resucitarán; porque los visitaste, y destruiste, y deshiciste toda su memoria.
15 You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation: you are glorified: you had removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.
Añadiste a los gentiles, oh SEÑOR, añadiste a los gentiles; te hiciste glorioso; extendiste hasta todos los términos de la tierra.
16 LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was upon them.
SEÑOR, en la tribulación te buscaron, derramaron oración cuando los castigaste.
17 Like a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, O LORD.
Como la mujer encinta cuando se acerca el parto, gime, y da gritos con sus dolores, así hemos sido delante de ti, oh SEÑOR.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
Concebimos, tuvimos dolores de parto, parimos como viento; salud ninguna hicimos en la tierra, ni cayeron los moradores del mundo.
19 Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, all of you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Tus muertos vivirán, y junto con mi cuerpo resucitarán. ¡Despertad y cantad, moradores del polvo! Porque tu rocío, es cual cubierta de luz; y la tierra echará los muertos.
20 Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation pass over.
Anda pues, pueblo mío, entra en tus aposentos, cierra tras ti tus puertas; escóndete un poquito, por un momento, entre tanto que pasa la ira.
21 For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Porque he aquí, que el SEÑOR sale de su lugar, para visitar la maldad del morador de la tierra contra él; y la tierra descubrirá su sangre, y no encubrirá más sus muertos.
