Isaías 26
1 En aquel día cantarán este cantar en tierra de Judá: Fuerte ciudad tenemos: salud puso por muros 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 Abríd las puertas, y entrará la nación justa, guardadora de verdades.
Open you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3 Sentencia firme: Que guardarás paz, paz; porque en ti se han confiado,
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.
4 Confiád en Jehová perpetuamente; porque en Jah Jehová está la fortaleza de los siglos.
Trust you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
5 Porque él derribó los que moraban en lugar sublime: humilló la ciudad ensalzada, humillóla hasta la tierra, 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 Hollarla ha pie, pies de afligido, pasos de menesterosos.
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 Camino derecho para el justo: Tú, recto, pesas el camino del justo.
The way of the just is uprightness: you, most upright, do weigh the path of the just.
8 Aun en el camino de tus juicios, o! Jehová, te esperamos: a tu nombre, y a tu memoria es el deseo del 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 Con mi alma te deseo en la noche; y entre tanto que me durare el espíritu en medio de mí, madrugaré a buscarte; porque desde que hay juicios tuyos en la tierra, los moradores 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 Alcanzará piedad el impío, no aprendará justicia: en tierra de rectitud hará iniquidad, y no mirará a la majestad de Jehová.
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 Jehová, por mucho que se levante tu mano, no verán: verán, y avergonzarse han con zelo del pueblo; y a tus enemigos fuego los consumirá.
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 Jehová, aparejarnos has paz; porque también obraste en nosotros todas nuestras obras,
LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have worked all our works in us.
13 Jehová Dios nuestro, señores se enseñorearon de nosotros sin ti; mas en ti solamente nos acordaremos de 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 Muertos, no vivirán: privados de la vida no resucitarán; porque los visitaste, y destruiste, y deshiciste toda su memoria.
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 Añadiste a la nación, o! Jehová, añadiste a la nación: hicístete glorioso: extendiste hasta todos los términos 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 Jehová, en la tribulación te visitaron: derramaron oración cuando los castigaste.
LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17 Como la preñada cuando se acerca al parto gime, y da gritos con sus dolores, así hemos sido delante de ti, o! Jehová.
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, parimos como viento: saludes no se hicieron en la tierra, ni cayeron los moradores 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, y junto con mi cuerpo resucitarán. Despertád, y cantád moradores del polvo, porque tu rocío, como rocío de hortalizas; y la tierra echará los muertos.
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 pues, pueblo mío, éntrate en tus cámaras, cierra tus puertas tras ti: escóndete un poquito, por un momento, entre tanto que pasa 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 Porque he aquí que Jehová sale de su lugar, para visitar la maldad del morador de la tierra contra él; y la tierra descubrirá sus sangres, y más no encubrirá sus muertos.
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.
