Isaías 25
1 Yahvé, tú eres mi Dios. Te exaltaré. Alabaré tu nombre, porque has hecho cosas maravillosas, cosas planeadas hace mucho tiempo, con total fidelidad y verdad.
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 Porque has convertido una ciudad en un montón, una ciudad fortificada en una ruina, un palacio de extraños en una ciudad. Nunca se construirá.
[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 te glorificará un pueblo fuerte. Una ciudad de naciones imponentes te temerá.
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 Porque has sido una fortaleza para el pobre, un baluarte para el necesitado en su angustia, un refugio contra la tormenta, una sombra contra el calor, cuando la ráfaga de los temibles es como una tormenta contra el 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 lugar seco, harás caer el ruido de los extraños; como el calor a la sombra de una nube, el canto de los temibles será abatido.
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 este monte, el Señor de los Ejércitos hará a todos los pueblos un festín de carne selecta, un festín de vinos selectos, de carne selecta llena de tuétano, de vinos selectos bien refinados.
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 Él destruirá en este monte la superficie de la cubierta que cubre a todos los pueblos, y el velo que se extiende sobre todas las naciones.
[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 ¡Él se ha tragado la muerte para siempre! El Señor Yahvé enjugará las lágrimas de todos los rostros. Quitará el oprobio de su pueblo de toda la tierra, porque Yahvé lo ha dicho.
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 aquel día se dirá: “¡He aquí nuestro Dios! ¡Lo hemos esperado, y él nos salvará! ¡Este es Yahvé! Lo hemos esperado. Nos alegraremos y nos regocijaremos en su salvación”.
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 Porque la mano de Yahvé se posará en este monte. Moab será pisoteado en su lugar, como se pisotea la paja en el agua del estercolero.
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 Extenderá sus manos en medio de él, como el que nada extiende las manos para nadar, pero su orgullo será humillado junto con el oficio de sus manos.
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 Él ha derribado la alta fortaleza de tus murallas, la ha rebajado y la ha llevado a la tierra, hasta el polvo.
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
