Isaías 32
1 He aquí, un rey gobernará con justicia, y los jefes tomarán las decisiones correctas.
Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
2 Y aquel hombre será como lugar seguro del viento, y como cubierta de la tormenta; como ríos de agua en un lugar seco, como la sombra de una gran roca en un desierto.
Each [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
3 Y los ojos de los que ven, no serán cerrados, y los que oigan, oirán la palabra.
When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
4 El hombre de impulsos repentinos se volverá sabio de corazón, y el que tenga la lengua lenta, tendrá el poder de hablar claramente.
[Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
5 El hombre necio ya no será nombrado noble, y no dirán del hombre falso que es un hombre de honor.
[At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
6 Porque el hombre insensato dirá cosas tontas, con pensamientos malvados en su corazón, obrando lo que es impuro, y hablando falsamente sobre el Señor, deja sin comida a quien lo necesita, y no da agua a aquel cuya alma lo está deseando.
Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
7 Los designios de los avaros son malvados, y se proponen la destrucción del pobre por medio de palabras falsas, incluso cuando está en lo correcto.
Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
8 Pero el hombre de corazón noble tiene propósitos nobles, y por ellos será guiado.
But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
9 Escuchen mi voz, mujeres que viven cómodamente; presten atención a mis palabras, hijas que no temen al peligro.
You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
10 En menos de un año, ustedes, mujeres confiadas, estarán preocupadas, porque los productos de los viñedos serán cortados, y no habrá recolección de fruto.
One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
11 Tiemblen de miedo, mujeres despreocupadas; Preocúpate, tú que no temes al peligro: quítate la túnica y vístete de dolor.
[So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
12 Golpéense él pecho, por los campos agradables, la vid fértil;
Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
13 Y por la tierra de mi pueblo, por donde vendrán espinas; Incluso por todas las casas de alegría en el alegre pueblo.
because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
14 Porque los palacios no tendrán hombres viviendo en ellas; la ciudad que estaba llena de ruido se convertirá en ruinas; la fortaleza y la torre de vigilancia se mantendrán abiertas para siempre, una alegría para los asnos de los bosques, un lugar de comida para los rebaños;
The [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
15 Hasta que el espíritu venga de lo alto, y la tierra baldía se convierte en un campo fértil, y el campo fértil se transforma en un bosque.
[It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
16 Entonces en el desierto habrá un gobierno recto, y la justicia tendrá su lugar en el campo fértil.
People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
17 Y él producto de la justicia será la paz; y el producto de la justicia es tranquilidad y seguridad para siempre.
And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
18 Y mi pueblo vivirá en paz, en casas donde no hay miedo, y en lugares tranquilos de descanso.
My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
19 Y Cuando caiga el granizo los árboles altos caerán, y la ciudad será derribada por completo.
[Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
20 Bienaventurado eres tú, que estás sembrando semillas junto a las aguas y sueltas el buey y el asno.
Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
