< Isaiah 25 >
1 Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
Yahvé, Tú eres mi Dios, te ensalzaré y alabaré tu nombre, porque has ejecutado cosas maravillosas, designios antiguos, del todo fieles.
2 [Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
Pues Tú has hecho de la ciudad un montón de piedras, (has convertido) en ruinas aquella ciudad fortificada. La fortaleza de los extranjeros ha dejado de ser ciudad, y nunca jamás será reedificada.
3 Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
Por eso te honrará un pueblo fuerte, te temerá la ciudad de las naciones opresoras.
4 Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
Tú fuiste fortaleza para el desvalido, refugio del pobre en su tribulación, amparo contra la tempestad, sombra en el ardor; pues el soplo de los tiranos es como una tempestad contra el muro,
5 and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
como el calor en tierra seca. Tú quebrantaste la arrogancia de los extraños; como la sombra de una nube (apaga) el calor, así se extinguirá el canto triunfal de los opresores.
6 Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
Yahvé de los ejércitos dará a todas las naciones en este monte un banquete de pingües manjares, un festín de vinos generosos, de manjares grasos y enjundiosos, de vinos puros y refinados.
7 [People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
Y Él destruirá en este monte el velo que cubría todos los pueblos, la cobertura tendida sobre todas las naciones.
8 He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!
Destruirá la muerte para siempre. Enjugará Yahvé el Señor las lágrimas de todos los rostros, y de toda la tierra quitará el oprobio de su pueblo. Pues Yahvé ha hablado.
9 At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
Se dirá en aquel día: “He aquí, este es nuestro Dios, en quien esperábamos; Él nos salvará. Este es Yahvé, en quien hemos puesto nuestra esperanza; regocijémonos y alegrémonos en su salvación.”
10 Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
Porque la mano de Yahvé reposará sobre este monte; pero Moab será hollado allí donde está, como se pisotea la paja en el fango del muladar.
11 Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
Allí extenderá sus brazos como los extiende el nadador para nadar; pero Yahvé humillará su orgullo, a pesar de los esfuerzos de sus manos.
12 The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
Abatirá el baluarte de tus altos muros y lo derribará; lo echará por tierra, en el polvo.
