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 Dios está sobre mí, porque me ha ungido él Señor, para dar buenas nuevas a los pobres; me ha enviado para vendar a los quebrantados de corazón, a anunciar que los prisioneros serán liberados, y que los encadenados volverán a ver la luz;
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 dar a conocer que el año de la buena voluntad del Señor ha llegado, y el día de venganza de nuestro Dios; para dar consuelo a todos los que están tristes;
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.
Para darles una corona en lugar de ceniza, el aceite de la alegría en lugar de la ropa de dolor, la alabanza en lugar de dolor; para que puedan ser nombrados árboles de justicia, la plantación del Señor, para que sea glorificado.
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.
Y volverán a construir los viejos muros rotos, y reabrirán los viejos lugares arruinados, y reedificarán los pueblos que han sido destruidos durante largas generaciones.
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 los hombres de países extranjeros serán sus pastores, sus hombres de labradores y cuidadores de vides.
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.
Pero serán nombrados sacerdotes del Señor, siervos de nuestro Dios; tendrán las riquezas de las naciones para tu comida, y serán vestido con su gloria.
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.
Como tenían el doble de dolor, en vez de humillación, darán gritos de júbilo por su herencia, en su tierra serán recompensados dos veces, y tendrán gozo eterno.
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, el Señor, me complace juzgar con rectitud; odio la rapiña en él holocausto; y ciertamente les daré su recompensa, y haré un acuerdo eterno con ellos.
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.”
Y su simiente será notada entre las naciones, y su descendencia entre los pueblos; será claro para todos los que los ven que son la simiente a la cual el Señor ha dado su bendición.
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.
Estaré lleno de alegría en el Señor, mi alma se alegrará en mi Dios; porque él me puso la vestimenta de la salvación, cubriéndome con el manto de la justicia, como él novio se pone adornos sacerdotales, y la novia se hace bella con 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 a medida que la tierra produce brotes y el jardín da crecimiento a las semillas que se plantan en él, así el Señor hará que broten justicia y alabanza en todas las naciones.
