Isaiah 54
1 Yahweh says, “You [people of Jerusalem] [MET], start to sing! You [who are like] [MET] women who have never given birth to children, sing loudly and shout joyfully, because you, [who are like] [MET] childless women who have been abandoned [by their husbands], will [soon] have more children than women who have never had any children.
Alégrate, o! estéril, la que no paría: levanta canción, y jubila, la que nunca estuvo de parto; porque más serán los hijos de la dejada, que los de la casada, dijo Jehová.
2 Make your tents larger; make them wider, and fasten them firmly with tent pegs.
Ensancha el sitio de tu cabaña, y las cortinas de tus tiendas sean extendidas, no seas escasa; alarga tus cuerdas, y fortifica tus estacas.
3 [You will need to make your city much larger] because [soon] you and your descendants will spread all over the land. They will force the people of [other] nations [who now live in your cities] to leave, and you will live [again] in those cities [that were previously abandoned].
Porque a la mano derecha, y a la mano izquierda has de crecer; y tu simiente heredará naciones, y habitarán las ciudades asoladas.
4 Do not be afraid; you will no [longer] be ashamed. Previously you were ashamed [because your enemies conquered you] and caused many of your women to become widows, but [soon] you will not even remember that.
No temas, que no serás avergonzada; y no te avergüences, que no serás afrentada: antes te olvidarás de la vergüenza de tu mocedad, y de la afrenta de tu viudez no tendrás más memoria.
5 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the Holy one of Israel, who rules over the whole earth, the one who created you, will be [like] [MET] a husband to you.
Porque tu marido será tu Hacedor, Jehová de los ejércitos es su nombre; y tu Redentor, el Santo de Israel, Dios de toda la tierra será llamado.
6 You were like a woman whose husband left her, and caused you to be very sad; you were like a young woman who got married when she was [very] young, and then her husband abandoned her.
Porque como a mujer dejada, y triste de espíritu te llamó Jehová; y como a mujer moza que es repudiada, dijo el Dios tuyo,
7 I abandoned you [people of Jerusalem] for a while, but [now] I am saying, ‘I will take you back.’
Por un momento pequeño te dejé: mas con grandes misericordias te recogeré.
8 I was very angry with you for a while, and I turned away from you. But I will act mercifully toward you and I will faithfully love you forever. That is what [I], Yahweh, your protector, say to you.
Con un poco de ira escondí mi rostro de ti por un momento: mas con misericordia eterna habré misericordia de ti, dijo tu Redentor Jehová.
9 During the time that Noah lived, I solemnly promised that I would never again allow a flood to cover the earth. So [now] I solemnly promise that I will not be angry with you again and (rebuke you/threaten to punish you).
Porque esto me será como las aguas de Noé: que juré que nunca más las aguas de Noé pasarían sobre la tierra: así también juré que no me enojaré más contra ti, ni te reñiré.
10 Even if the mountains and hills shake and collapse, I will not stop faithfully loving you, and I will not cancel my agreement to cause things to go well for you. That is what [I], Yahweh, who act mercifully, say.
Porque los montes se moverán, y los collados temblarán: mas mi misericordia no se apartará de ti, ni el concierto de mi paz vacilará, dijo Jehová, el que ha misericordia de ti.
11 You [people of Jerusalem] [APO], [your enemies acted very violently toward you]; [it was as though] your city was battered by a severe storm, and no one helped you. But [now] I will cause your city to be rebuilt with stones made of (turquoise/valuable stones), and I will cause the foundations of the city to be made of (sapphires/valuable blue stones).
Pobrecica, fatigada con tempestad, sin consuelo, he aquí que yo acimentaré tus piedras sobre carbúnculo; y sobre zafiros te fundaré.
12 I will cause the towers on the city wall to be made of (rubies/valuable red stones), and all the gates of the city will be made of [other] very valuable stones.
Tus ventanas pondré de piedras preciosas, y tus puertas de piedras de carbúnculo, y todo tu término de piedras de codicia.
13 I will be the one who will teach you people and cause things to go well with you.
Y todos tus hijos serán enseñados de Jehová, y multiplicará la paz de tus hijos.
14 Your [government] will be strong because of acting justly/fairly; no one will (oppress you/cause you to suffer); you will not be afraid, because there will be nothing [PRS] that will (terrorize you/cause you to become extremely afraid).
Con justicia serás adornada: estarás lejos de opresión, porque no la temerás; y de temor, porque no se acercará de ti.
15 If any army attacks you, it will not be because I have incited them to do that, and you will defeat any group that attacks you.
Si alguno conspirare contra ti, será sin mí: el que contra ti conspirare, delante de ti caerá.
16 Think about this: (Blacksmiths/Men who make things from metal) fan the coals to make a very hot flame in order to produce weapons that can be used [in battles], but I am the one who has produced blacksmiths! And I am also the one who created people who destroy [other people and cities].
He aquí que yo crié al herrero que sopla las ascuas en el fuego, y que saca la herramienta para su obra; y yo crié al destruidor para destruir.
17 [But I am promising you that I will] not allow you to be defeated/injured by soldiers using weapons that have been made to attack you, and when others try to accuse you, you will (refute them/show that they are wrong). That is the reward that I will give to the people who serve me; I will defend them; that is what [I], Yahweh, promise.”
Toda herramienta que fuere fabricada contra ti, no prosperará; y a toda lengua que se levantaré contra ti en juicio, condenarás. Esta es la heredad de los siervos de Jehová, y su justicia de por mí, dijo Jehová.
