Isaías 25
1 Oh Yavé, Tú eres mi ʼElohim. Te exaltaré. Alabaré tu Nombre, porque hiciste maravillas, tus designios antiguos, con perfecta fidelidad.
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 convertiste la ciudad en una pila de escombros. La ciudad fortificada en ruinas. [El] palacio de extranjeros ya no existe. Nunca será reconstruido.
[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 tanto un pueblo fuerte te glorifica. Las ciudades de naciones crueles te temen.
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 fuiste fortaleza para el pobre, fortaleza para el necesitado en su aflicción, refugio de la tormenta, sombra contra el calor. Porque el aliento de los tiranos es como una tormenta 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 sequedal, así abates el tumulto de los extranjeros. Como el calor bajo la sombra de una nube, silencias el cántico de los tiranos.
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 Yavé de las huestes ofrecerá a todos los pueblos un banquete con manjares suculentos, un banquete con vinos añejos, con presas escogidas llenas de médula y con vino añejo purificado.
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 esta Montaña destruirá la ropa que cubre a todos los pueblos y el velo que envuelve a 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 sorberá la muerte para siempre! ʼAdonay Yavé enjugará las lágrimas de todo semblante y quitará el oprobio de su pueblo en toda la tierra, porque Yavé habló.
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 Aquel día se dirá: Ciertamente Éste es nuestro ʼElohim. Lo esperamos, y nos salvó. Éste es Yavé, a Quien esperamos. Regocijémonos y alegrémonos por 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 La mano de Yavé reposará sobre esta Montaña. Moab será pisoteado en su sitio, como se pisa el pasto en el agua de una pila 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 Extenderá sus manos en medio de él como el nadador al nadar, pero Él abatirá su soberbia y el esfuerzo 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 y derribará la fortaleza de sus altos muros. Lo humillará y lo echará a 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.
