< Isaías 54 >

1 ¡Canta de alegría, mujer sin hijos, tú que has tenido un bebé! ¡Grita en voz alta y canta de alegría, Jerusalén, tú que nunca has dado a luz! Porque la mujer abandonada tiene ahora más hijos que la casada, dice el Señor.
Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.
2 Haz más grande la tienda donde vives; estira la tela para agrandar tu casa. No trates de ahorrar espacio: alarga las cuerdas de tu tienda y haz más fuertes las estacas.
Make wide the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your house be stretched out without limit: make your cords long, and your tent-pins strong.
3 Te vas a extender a diestro y siniestro; tus descendientes se apoderarán de la tierra de otras naciones y vivirán en ciudades que antes estaban abandonadas.
For I will make wide your limits on the right hand and on the left; and your seed will take the nations for a heritage, and make the waste towns full of people.
4 No tengas miedo, porque no serás humillado; no te alteres, porque no serás deshonrado. Te olvidarás de la vergüenza de tu juventud, y ya no recordarás la vergüenza de tu viudez.
Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.
5 Porque tu Hacedor es tu esposo, el Señor Todopoderoso es su nombre el Santo de Israel es tu Redentor, se llama el Dios de toda la tierra.
For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.
6 El Señor te ha llamado para que vuelvas, como una esposa abandonada y profundamente herida, una esposa que se casó cuando era joven, sólo para ser rechazada, dice tu Dios.
For the Lord has made you come back to him, like a wife who has been sent away in grief of spirit; for one may not give up the wife of one's early days.
7 Te abandoné por poco tiempo, pero te haré volver, mostrándote una gran bondad.
For a short time I gave you up; but with great mercies I will take you back again.
8 En un momento de cólera, aparté mi rostro de ti, pero ahora, con un amor digno de confianza, seré siempre bondadoso contigo, dice el Señor, tu Redentor.
In overflowing wrath my face was veiled from you for a minute, but I will have pity on you for ever, says the Lord who takes up your cause.
9 Para mí, esto es igual que el tiempo de Noé, cuando prometí bajo juramento que un diluvio no volvería a cubrir la tierra. Del mismo modo, prometo bajo juramento que no me enfadaré contigo ni te regañaré.
For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.
10 Aunque los montes dejen de existir y las colinas desaparezcan, no por ello dejará de existir mi amor confiable por ti ni desaparecerá mi acuerdo de paz, dice el Señor, que te muestra su bondad.
For the mountains may be taken away, and the hills be moved out of their places, but my love will not be taken from you, or my agreement of peace broken, says the Lord, who has had mercy on you.
11 ¡Mi pobre ciudad dañada por la tormenta que no puede ser consolada! Mira, voy a reponer tus piedras con cemento de antimonio, Utilizaré zafiros para poner tus cimientos.
O troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be sapphires.
12 Haré tus fortificaciones de rubíes; haré tus puertas de berilo resplandeciente. Todos tus muros serán de piedras preciosas,
I will make your towers of rubies, and your doors of carbuncles, and the wall round you will be of all sorts of beautiful stones.
13 y todos tus hijos serán alumnos del Señor, y vivirán en completa paz.
And all your builders will be made wise by the Lord; and great will be the peace of your children.
14 Tu sociedad funcionará a partir de principios de bondad y de derecho; no habrá nadie que te oprima. No tendrás miedo; no tendrás que enfrentar ningún tipo de terror.
All your rights will be made certain to you: have no fear of evil, and destruction will not come near you.
15 Si algún invasor viene a atacarte, yo no lo envié; tú derrotarás a cualquiera que te ataque.
See, they may be moved to war, but not by my authority: all those who come together to make an attack on you, will be broken against you.
16 Mira: he creado al herrero que sopla las brasas en una llama caliente y forja un arma adecuada; y he creado al destructor que trae la destrucción.
See, I have made the iron-worker, blowing on the burning coals, and making the instrument of war by his work; and I have made the waster for destruction.
17 Ninguna de las armas forjadas contra ti tendrá éxito, y condenarás a cualquiera que te acuse. Así son bendecidos los siervos del Señor, y yo soy el que los reivindica, declara el Señor.
No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.
