Isaías 54

1 “¡Canta, estéril, tú que no has dado a luz! Rompe a cantar y clama en voz alta, tú que no has dado a luz. Porque más son los hijos de la desolada que los de la casada”, dice Yahvé.

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 “Amplía el lugar de tu tienda, y que extiendan las cortinas de sus moradas; no escatimes; alarga tus cuerdas y refuerza tus 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 Porque te extenderás a la derecha y a la izquierda; y tu descendencia poseerá las naciones y se establecen en ciudades desoladas.

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 te avergonzarás. No te confundas, porque no te decepcionará. Porque olvidarás la vergüenza de tu juventud. No recordarás más el reproche 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; Yahvé de los Ejércitos es su nombre. El Santo de Israel es tu Redentor. Será llamado 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 Porque Yahvé te ha llamado como a una esposa abandonada y afligida de espíritu, incluso la esposa de la juventud, cuando es desechada”, 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 “Por un pequeño momento te he abandonado, pero te reuniré con grandes misericordias.

For a short time I gave you up; but with great mercies I will take you back again.

8 Con una ira desbordante escondí mi rostro de ti por un momento, sino que con amor eterno tendré misericordia de ti”, dice Yahvé, 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 “Porque esto es para mí como las aguas de Noé; porque como he jurado que las aguas de Noé no volverán a pasar por la tierra, por lo que he jurado que no me enfadaré con vosotros, ni os reprenderé.

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 Porque las montañas pueden partir, y las colinas sean eliminadas, pero mi bondad no se apartará de ti, y mi pacto de paz no será removido”. dice Yahvé, que se apiada de ti.

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 “Afligidos, zarandeados por las tormentas y sin consuelo, he aquí que engastaré tus piedras con hermosos colores, y pon tus cimientos con zafiros.

O troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be sapphires.

12 Haré sus pináculos de rubíes, sus puertas de joyas brillantes, y todos sus muros 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 Todos tus hijos serán enseñados por Yahvé, y la paz de tus hijos será grande.

And all your builders will be made wise by the Lord; and great will be the peace of your children.

14 Serás establecido en la justicia. Estarás lejos de la opresión, porque no tendrás miedo, y lejos del terror, porque no se acercará a ti.

All your rights will be made certain to you: have no fear of evil, and destruction will not come near you.

15 He aquí que pueden reunirse, pero no por mí. Quien se reúna contra ti, caerá por tu culpa.

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 “He aquí que he creado al herrero que aviva las brasas hasta convertirlas en llamas, y forja un arma para su trabajo; y he creado el destructor para destruir.

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 Ningún arma que se forme contra ti prevalecerá; y condenarás toda lengua que se levante contra ti en el juicio. Esta es la herencia de los siervos de Yahvé, y su justicia proviene de mí”, dice Yahvé.

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.
