Isaías 25
1 Señor, tú eres mi Dios. Te honraré y alabaré quien eres, porque has hecho cosas maravillosas que planificaste hace tiempo. Eres fiel y digno de confianza.
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.
2 Has convertido la ciudad en un montón de escombros; la ciudad fortificada es ahora una ruina; el palacio de los extranjeros ha desaparecido. Ya no es una ciudad y nunca será reconstruida.
[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.
3 Por eso las naciones poderosas te honrarán; ciudades de naciones brutales te temerán.
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
4 Pero tú has protegido a los pobres y a los necesitados cuando estaban en apuros, los has protegido de las tormentas y les has dado sombra del calor. Porque las acciones de los pueblos brutales son como la lluvia que golpea contra un muro,
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,
5 como el calor en un desierto. Tú pones fin a la ruidosa sublevación de los extranjeros. De la misma manera que la sombra de una nube enfría el calor del día, así se acalla el canto de la gente brutal.
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.
6 En esta montaña el Señor Todopoderoso preparará un festín para todas las naciones, un festín fastuoso de vinos añejos, comida rica y la mejor carne.
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.
7 En este monte destruirá el velo que cubre a todas las naciones, la sábana que está sobre todos.
[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.
8 Destruirá la muerte para siempre. El Señor Dios enjugará todas las lágrimas, y en todas partes quitará la humillación sufrida por su pueblo. El Señor ha hablado.
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!
9 En ese momento su pueblo dirá: “¡Mira! Este es nuestro Dios; hemos confiado en él y nos ha salvado. Este es el Señor que buscábamos. Ahora podemos alegrarnos y celebrar la salvación que nos trae”.
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]!”
10 La mano protectora del Señor estará sobre esta montaña. Pero los moabitas serán pisoteados como la paja en el agua de un pozo de estiércol.
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].
11 Extenderán sus manos para tratar de salvarse, como los nadadores que usan sus manos para nadar, pero su orgullo será humillado por más que se agiten.
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.
12 Moab, él demolerá tu fortaleza con los altos muros, haciéndola caer al suelo, al polvo.
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
