Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of Yahweh [our] Lord is on me; he has appointed [MTY] me to bring good news to those who are oppressed, to comfort those who are discouraged, to free [all] those who are [as though they are chained/tied] [DOU] [by the wrong things that they continually do].
El Espíritu del Señor, Yahvé, está sobre mí porque Yahvé me ha ungido, y me ha enviado para evangelizar a los humildes; para vendar a los de corazón quebrantado, para anunciar la libertad a los cautivos y la liberación a los encarcelados;
2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn [about the members of their families who died] (OR, [who are still in Babylonia)] that now is the time when Yahweh will act kindly [toward his people]; now is the time when our God will (get revenge on/punish) [their enemies].
para pregonar el año de la gracia de Yahvé, y el día de la venganza de nuestro Dios; para consolar a todos los afligidos,
3 To [all] those in Jerusalem who mourn, he will give flower necklaces [to wear]; instead of ashes [that they put on their heads to show that they are sad]; he will cause them to rejoice [MTY] instead of being sad; he will enable them to be [MET] happy instead of being discouraged. They will be called “people who continually do what is right, people who are [like tall/strong] oak [trees] that Yahweh has planted” to show others that he is very great.
y alegrar a los que lloran en Sión; para darles una diadema en lugar de ceniza, el óleo de gozo en vez de tristeza y un manto de gloria en lugar del espíritu de abatimiento; y serán llamados encinas de justicia, plantadas por Yahvé para gloria suya.
4 [Those who return from Babylon] will rebuild the cities that [the soldiers from Babylon] tore down. [Even though] those cities have been destroyed and abandoned for many years, they will be restored/rebuilt.
Edificarán las ruinas antiguas, y levantarán los lugares destruidos anteriormente; restaurarán las ciudades arruinadas, las desolaciones de generaciones pasadas.
5 Foreigners will be the ones who will take care of your flocks [of sheep and goats], and plow your fields and take care of your grapevines.
Y se presentarán los extranjeros para apacentar vuestros rebaños; y los extraños serán vuestros labradores y viñadores.
6 But you [are the ones who] will be like the priests to serve Yahweh, to work for God. You will enjoy valuable goods [that are brought] from other nations, and you will be happy that those things have become yours.
Mas vosotros seréis llamados sacerdotes de Yahvé, y se os dará el nombre de ministros de nuestro Dios; comeréis las riquezas de los gentiles, y os adornaréis con la gloria de ellos.
7 Previously you were shamed and disgraced, but now you will have great blessings; previously [your enemies] humbled you, but now you will have many good things; you will be happy because of being in your land again, and you will rejoice forever.
En lugar de vuestra deshonra tendréis doble (honor), y en vez de ignominia (mis siervos) se regocijarán en su porción; por eso poseerán doblada porción en su tierra y será perdurable su gozo.
8 “I, Yahweh, am very pleased with those/judges who decide matters fairly; I hate [those who illegally] take things from other people. I will surely repay my people (for/because of) all that they have suffered [in the past]. And I will make an everlasting agreement with them.
Porque Yo, Yahvé, amo la justicia y aborrezco la rapiña (consagrada) en holocausto; les daré fielmente su recompensa, y concertaré con ellos un pacto eterno.
9 Their descendants will be honored by people of other nations [DOU]. Everyone who sees them will know that they are a nation that [I], Yahweh, have blessed.”
Su descendencia será conocida entre las naciones, y su linaje en medio de los pueblos; todos cuantos los vieren, reconocerán que son ellos la raza bendita de Yahvé.
10 I greatly rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]! I am happy, because he has saved me and declared that I am righteous; [those blessings are like] [MET] a robe that he has put on me. I am [as happy as] [SIM] a bridegroom in his wedding suit, or a bride wearing jewels.
Con sumo gozo me regocijaré en Yahvé, y mi alma se alegrará en mi Dios: pues me revistió con las vestiduras de la salvación, y me cubrió con el manto de la justicia, como a novio que se adorna con una corona, y como a novia que se engalana con sus joyas.
11 Just as [seeds sown in] a garden sprout from the soil and grow [DOU], Yahweh [our] God will cause [people of] all nations to act righteously, with the result that they will praise him for doing that.
Porque como la tierra hace brotar sus gérmenes, y como el huerto hace germinar sus semillas, así Yahvé hará florecer la justicia y la gloria ante todas las naciones.
