Isaías 32
1 He aquí que un rey reinará con justicia, y los príncipes gobernarán con justicia.
Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
2 El hombre será como un escondite del viento, y una cobertura de la tormenta, como corrientes de agua en un lugar seco, como la sombra de una gran roca en una tierra cansada.
Each [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
3 Los ojos de los que ven no se oscurecerán, y los oídos de los que oyen escucharán.
When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
4 El corazón de los temerarios comprenderá el conocimiento, y la lengua de los tartamudos estará lista para hablar con claridad.
[Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
5 El necio ya no será llamado noble, ni el canalla sea muy respetado.
[At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
6 Porque el necio dirá tonterías, y su corazón obrará la iniquidad, para practicar la blasfemia, y a proferir errores contra Yahvé, para dejar vacía el alma del hambriento, y para hacer fracasar la bebida del sediento.
Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
7 Los caminos del canalla son malos. Idea planes perversos para destruir a los humildes con palabras mentirosas, incluso cuando el necesitado habla bien.
Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
8 Pero el noble concibe cosas nobles, y continuará en las cosas nobles.
But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
9 ¡Levántense, mujeres que están tranquilas! ¡Escuchad mi voz! Hijas descuidadas, prestad atención a mi discurso.
You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
10 Por días más allá de un año seréis turbadas, mujeres descuidadas; para la vendimia fallará. La cosecha no llegará.
One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
11 ¡Temblad, mujeres que estáis a gusto! ¡Preocúpense, descuidados! Desnúdense, desnúdense, y ponte un saco en la cintura.
[So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
12 Golpea tus pechos por los campos agradables, para la vid fructífera.
Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
13 En la tierra de mi pueblo surgirán espinas y cardos; sí, en todas las casas de la alegría de la ciudad alegre.
because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
14 Porque el palacio será abandonado. La populosa ciudad quedará desierta. La colina y la atalaya serán para siempre guaridas, una delicia para los burros salvajes, un pasto de rebaños,
The [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
15 hasta que el Espíritu sea derramado sobre nosotros desde lo alto, y el desierto se convierte en un campo fructífero, y el campo fructífero se considera un bosque.
[It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
16 Entonces la justicia habitará en el desierto; y la justicia permanecerá en el campo fructífero.
People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
17 La obra de la justicia será la paz, y el efecto de la rectitud, la tranquilidad y la confianza para siempre.
And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
18 Mi pueblo vivirá en paz, en viviendas seguras, y en lugares de descanso tranquilos,
My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
19 aunque el granizo aplane el bosque, y la ciudad es arrasada por completo.
[Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
20 Benditos seáis los que sembráis junto a todas las aguas, que envían las patas del buey y del asno.
Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
