Isaías 26
1 Aquel día se cantará este cántico en la tierra de Judá: Ciudad fuerte tenemos. Le puso salvación como muro y antemuro.
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 Abran las puertas y entrará un pueblo justo Que guarda la fidelidad.
Open you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3 Tú guardarás en completa paz a aquel cuyo pensamiento persevera en ti, porque en Ti confió.
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.
4 Confíen en Yavé perpetuamente, porque YA Yavé es la Roca de los siglos.
Trust you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
5 Derribó a los que vivían en las alturas. Humilló a la ciudad exaltada. La abatió hasta la tierra y la derribó hasta el polvo.
For he brings down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he lays it low; he lays it low, even to the ground; he brings it even to the dust.
6 Será pisoteada por los pies del afligido, por las pisadas de los necesitados.
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 La senda del justo es recta. Tú allanas la senda del justo.
The way of the just is uprightness: you, most upright, do weigh the path of the just.
8 Oh Yavé, en la senda de tus juicios te esperamos. Tu Nombre y tu memoria son el anhelo de nuestra alma.
Yes, in the way of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you; the desire of our soul is to your name, and to the remembrance of you.
9 Mi alma te anhela de noche, mientras haya aliento en mí madrugaré a buscarte. Porque cuando hay juicios tuyos en la tierra los habitantes del mundo aprenden justicia.
With my soul have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Aunque se muestre compasión al perverso, no aprenderá justicia. Aunque esté en tierra de rectitud, él hace iniquidad y no considera la majestad de Yavé.
Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
11 Oh Yavé, tu mano está levantada, pero ellos no la miran. La mirarán al fin y los que envidian a tu pueblo se avergonzarán. Fuego consumirá a tus enemigos.
LORD, when your hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yes, the fire of your enemies shall devour them.
12 Tú, oh Yavé, estableces paz para nosotros, porque también todas nuestras obras las realizas por nosotros.
LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have worked all our works in us.
13 Oh Yavé ʼElohim nuestro, otros amos aparte de Ti nos dominaron, aunque solo confesamos tu Nombre.
O LORD our God, other lords beside you have had dominion over us: but by you only will we make mention of your name.
14 Están muertos, no vivirán. Murieron, no se levantarán, porque los castigaste. Los destruiste y deshiciste su recuerdo.
They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15 Multiplicaste el pueblo, oh Yavé. Aumentaste el pueblo y lo hiciste glorioso. Ensanchaste todas las fronteras de la tierra.
You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation: you are glorified: you had removed it far to all the ends of the earth.
16 Oh Yavé, en la tribulación te buscaron. Solo pudieron susurrar una oración. Tu castigo estaba sobre ellos.
LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17 Como la mujer embarazada que se acerca al parto se retuerce y grita de dolor, así estuvimos en tu Presencia, oh Yavé.
Like as a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, O LORD.
18 Concebimos, tuvimos dolores de parto, pero dimos a luz viento. No logramos liberación para la tierra, ni nacieron habitantes del mundo.
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Tus muertos vivirán. Tus cadáveres resucitarán. Ustedes los que están tendidos en el polvo despierten y canten jubilosos. Porque tu rocío es como rocío de la aurora. La tierra dará a luz a sus fallecidos.
Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Anda, pueblo mío, entra en tus aposentos. Cierra tras ti tus puertas. Escóndete por un breve momento hasta que pase la ira.
Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be over.
21 Ciertamente Yavé sale de su morada para castigar a los habitantes de la tierra por su iniquidad. La tierra mostrará la sangre derramada y ya no encubrirá a sus asesinados.
For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
