Isaías 25
1 Señor, tú eres mi Dios; Te alabaré, daré honor a tu nombre; porque has hecho grandes actos de poder; Sus propósitos en el pasado se han hecho realidad y ciertos en efecto.
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 has hecho de la ciudad un lugar desolado; la ciudad fortificada es sólo escombros; La torre de los soberbios ha llegado a su fin; nunca más volverá a ser reconstruida.
[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 esta causa te glorificará un pueblo poderoso, la ciudad de los crueles te temerá.
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 has sido un refugio para los pobres y los oprimidos en sus problemas, un lugar seguro de la tormenta, una sombra contra el calor, cuando la ira de los crueles es como una tormenta de invierno.
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 calor a en tierra seca, el ruido de los hombres de orgullo se ha calmado por ti; Como calor a la sombra de una nube, el canto de los crueles se ha detenido.
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 Y en esta montaña, el Señor de los ejércitos hará de todos los pueblos una fiesta de cosas buenas, una fiesta de vinos almacenados durante mucho tiempo, de cosas dulces para el gusto, de vinos puros y conservados durante mucho tiempo.
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 Y en este monte pondrá fin a la sombra que cubre el rostro de todos los pueblos, y el velo que se extiende sobre 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 ha puesto fin a la muerte para siempre; y el Señor Dios quitará todo llanto; y pondrá fin a la vergüenza de su pueblo en toda la tierra. Él Señor lo ha dicho.
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 Y en aquel día se dirá: Mira, éste es nuestro Dios. Lo hemos estado esperando, y él será nuestro salvador; este es el Señor en quien está nuestra esperanza; Nos alegraremos y nos deleitarememos en 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 Porque en esta montaña vendrá la mano del Señor a descansar, y Moab será aplastado en su lugar, así como los tallos secos del grano son pisoteados bajo el pie como paja en el agua del muladar.
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 Y si él extiende sus manos, como un hombre estirando las manos para nadar, el Señor le quitará su orgullo, por muy experto que sea su destreza.
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 la torre fuerte de tus muros la derribaré, la humillaré, la derribaré y aplastaré 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.
