< Isaiah 60 >
1 [You people of] Jerusalem [PRS], stand up! Yahweh has done glorious things for you, and he has acted powerfully for you; so show others that he is very great!
Levántate y brilla, porque ha llegado tu luz; la gloria del Señor se ha levantado sobre ti.
2 [But spiritual] darkness has covered [all the other people-groups on] the earth, complete darkness, but Yahweh will show you how great he is, and other people will also see it.
Aunque las tinieblas cubren la tierra, y las profundas tinieblas cubren a los pueblos, el Señor se ha levantado para brillar sobre ti, y su gloria aparece sobre ti.
3 By seeing what he has done for you, [people of all] people-groups will see that he is very great, and kings will come to see the wonderful things that have happened to you.
Las naciones acudirán a tu luz, y los reyes acudirán al resplandor de tu aurora.
4 [Yahweh says], “Look around and you will see the people who will be returning from (exile/countries to which they have been forced to go)! Your sons will come from distant countries; others will carry your [little] daughters home.
Mira a tu alrededor, y verás que todos se reúnen y vienen a ti: tus hijos regresan de lejos, tus hijas jóvenes son llevadas en la cadera.
5 When you look at this happening, you will be very joyful [DOU], because people will bring valuable goods to you [from all around the world]. They will bring in ships valuable things from [many] nations.
Entonces verás y brillarás, tu corazón palpitará de alegría, porque te traerán las riquezas que cruzan el mar, las riquezas de las naciones.
6 People will [also] bring valuable goods to you on herds/caravans of camels: Camels from the Midian and Ephah [areas of northern Arabia]. And from Sheba [in southern Arabia] they will come, bringing gold and frankincense; they will all come to praise [me], Yahweh.
Largas caravanas de camellos cubrirán la tierra, camellos jóvenes de Madián y Efá. Todo el pueblo de Sabá vendrá a ti cargando oro e incienso, gritando alabanzas al Señor.
7 They will bring flocks [of sheep and goats] from Kedar [in northern Arabia and give them] to you. [They will bring] [PRS] rams from Nebaioth for you [to sacrifice] on my altars, and I will accept them [happily]. [At that time] I will cause my temple to be very beautifully decorated.
Todos los rebaños de Cedar serán traídos a ti, los carneros de Nebaiot serán puestos a tu disposición. Los aceptaré cuando sean sacrificados en mi altar, y glorificaré el Templo donde me honran.
8 And what are those things that are moving swiftly like [SIM] clouds? They resemble [SIM] doves [returning] to their nests.
¿Qué son estos que vuelan como una nube, que vuelan como palomas que regresan a su nido?
9 But they are really ships from Tarshish that are bringing your people back here. When your people come, they will bring with them [all] the valuable possessions that they have acquired, and [they will do that] to honor [me], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, because I will have greatly honored you.
Vienen de las islas que confían en mí, son barcos conducidos por los de Tarsis, que traen a tus hijos de lejos, trayendo consigo plata y oro. Vienen a honrar al Señor tu Dios, el Santo de Israel, porque él te ha hecho glorioso.
10 Foreigners will [come and] rebuild the walls of your [cities], and their kings will serve/help you. Although I punished you because I was angry with you, these things will happen now because I will act mercifully toward you because I am kind.
Los extranjeros reconstruirán tus murallas, y sus reyes trabajarán para ti. Aunque te golpeé cuando estaba enojado contigo, ahora seré bondadoso y misericordioso contigo.
11 The gates of your [cities] will be open during the day and [also] during the night, in order that people will be able to bring into your cities valuable things from [many] countries, with their kings being led to you in the processions.
Tus puertas se mantendrán siempre abiertas. No se cerrarán nunca, ni de día ni de noche, para que las riquezas de las naciones puedan ser traídas a ti, con sus reyes conducidos en procesión.
12 And the kingdoms and nations whose [people] refuse to allow you to rule them will be completely destroyed [DOU].
Cualquier nación o reino que no te sirva será completamente destruido.
13 The glorious/beautiful things in Lebanon will be brought to you— [lumber from] cypress [trees] and fir [trees] and pine [trees]— to be used to make my temple beautiful. When that is done, my temple [MTY] will [truly] be glorious!
La gloria del Líbano vendrá a ti: cedros, acacias y mirtos, para embellecer mi Templo y honrar el lugar que elegí para vivir.
14 The descendants of those who (oppressed you/treated you cruelly) will come and bow down to you; those who despised you will prostrate themselves in front of your feet. They will say that your city on Zion Hill is the City of Yahweh, where the Holy One of Israel lives.
Los hijos de los que te persiguieron vendrán y se inclinarán ante ti; todos los que te despreciaban se postrarán a tus pies y te llamarán Ciudad del Señor, Sión del Santo de Israel.
15 Previously everyone hated you and ignored you, but now your [city] will be majestic/honored forever; and [I will cause you to be] joyful forever.
Antes estabas abandonada y despreciada, en un lugar al que la gente no iba, pero ahora haré de ti un lugar del que estar orgullosos para siempre, una alegría para todas las generaciones.
16 People of all nations and their kings will gladly bring [MET] their wealth to you. And [when that happens], you will realize that I truly am Yahweh, the one who saves you and rescues you [from your enemies], and that I am the mighty one to whom you Israeli people belong.
Las naciones te proveerán de lo necesario, los reyes te cuidarán como si fueras su propio hijo. Sabrás que yo, el Señor, soy tu Salvador y Redentor, el Poderoso de Jacob.
17 Instead of [metals that are not valuable, like] bronze and iron, I will bring to you silver and gold. Instead of wood and stones, I will bring you bronze and iron [for your buildings]. There will be peace in your country, and your rulers will do what is fair/just.
Te traeré oro en lugar de bronce, plata en lugar de hierro, bronce en lugar de madera y hierro en lugar de piedra. Nombraré a la Paz como tu vigilante, y a la Bondad como tu líder.
18 People in your country will no longer act violently, and people will no longer destroy your land and cause it to become desolate/ruined. The people in the city will be safe, and everyone there will praise me [MTY].
No habrá más violencia en tu tierra, ni devastación y destrucción dentro de tus fronteras. Llamarás a tus muros Salvación, y a tus puertas Alabanza.
19 And you will no longer need the sun and moon to give you light, because [I], Yahweh, will give you more light [than the sun and moon]; I will be a glorious light for you forever.
No necesitarás la luz del sol durante el día, ni la luz de la luna por la noche, porque el Señor, tu Dios, será tu luz eterna, y tu Dios será tu gloria.
20 [It will seem as though] the sun and moon will always be shining [LIT], because [I], Yahweh, will be an everlasting light for you. You will never again be sad [because of things that happen to you].
Tu sol no se pondrá nunca, y tu luna no se apagará jamás, porque el Señor será tu luz eterna, y tu tiempo de luto terminará.
21 Your people will all be righteous, and they will occupy the land forever, because I myself have put you there [like people plant trees] [MET] in order that you will show others that I am very great.
Todo tu pueblo será bueno, y será dueño de la tierra para siempre. Ellos son el brote que he plantado con mis manos, y revelarán mi gloria.
22 At that time, the [groups that are] very small now will become [very large] clans, and small clans will become great nations. [All those things will happen because], I, Yahweh, will cause them to happen at the right time.”
La más pequeña de tus familias aumentará a mil, y la más insignificante se convertirá en una gran nación. Yo soy el Señor; en el momento oportuno lo haré rápidamente.
