Isaiah 27
1 At that time, Yahweh will punish Leviathan, the swift-moving monster/dragon, that coiling serpent that lives in the sea. Yahweh will kill it with his sharp, huge, and powerful sword.
En aquel día Jehová visitará con su espada dura, grande, y fuerte, sobre el leviatán, serpiente rolliza, y sobre el leviatán, serpiente retuerta; y matará al dragón que está en la mar.
2 At that time, [Yahweh will say], “You [Israeli people, who are like] [MET] a fruitful vineyard, must sing!
En aquel día, la viña de Hemer, cantád de ella.
3 I will [protect you] [like a farmer] [MET] waters his crops carefully [in order that they will grow well]. I will guard you day and night, in order that no one harms you.
Yo Jehová la guardo, cada momento la regaré: de noche y de día la guardaré, porque el enemigo no la visite.
4 I am no [longer] angry [with my people]; [if any of your enemies try to injure you like briers and thorns injure people] [MET], I will attack them [in battles]; I will get rid of them completely,
No hay en mi enojo: ¿quién me dará espinas y cardos? En pelea pasara por ella, la encendiera juntamente.
5 unless they request me to protect them; I strongly invite them to make peace with me [DOU]!”
¿O quién forzará mi fortaleza para hacer conmigo paz, para hacer conmigo paz?
6 There will be a time when the (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) will [prosper like] a plant that has good roots; they will be like [MET] trees that bud and blossom and bear a lot of fruit; [what they do will bless] all the people in the world.
Días vendrán, cuando Jacob echará raíces, florecerá y echará renuevos Israel, y la haz del mundo se henchirá de fruto.
7 [But now I ask], has Yahweh punished us Israelis like he punished our enemies? Has he punished us as much as he punished them?
¿Si ha sido herido, como quien le hirió? ¿Si ha sido muerto, como los que le mataron?
8 [No, he has not done that], [but] he punished us Israeli people and (exiled us/forced us to leave our country); we were taken away from our land as though [SIM] we were struck by a windstorm from the east.
Con medida la castigarás en sus metidas, aun cuando soplare con su viento recio en día de solano.
9 Yahweh did that in order to punish us for our sins, and remove our guilt. As a result [of our being exiled], all the altars to other gods [in Israel] will be demolished, and we will be forgiven for the sins that we have committed. There will be no more poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah, or altars for burning incense to other gods; they will all be torn down.
Por tanto de esta manera será purgada la iniquidad de Jacob, y este será todo el fruto, apartamiento de su pecado, cuando tornare todas las piedras del altar, como piedras de cal desmenuzadas; porque no se levanten los bosques, ni las imágenes del sol.
10 The cities that have strong walls around them will be empty; like the desert, they will have no one living in them. The houses will be abandoned, and the streets will be full of weeds. Calves will eat grass there and lie down there; they will chew up all the leaves on the trees.
De otra manera la ciudad fortalecida será asolada: la morada será desamparada, y dejada como un desierto: allí se apacentará el becerro, allí tendrá su majada; y acabará sus ramas.
11 [The Israeli people are like] [MET] dry branches on a tree; women break them off and use them to make fires [under their cooking pots]. Our Israeli people do not have any sense; so Yahweh, who created them, will not act mercifully toward them or be kind to them.
Cuando sus ramas se secaren, y serán quebradas, mujeres vendrán a encenderla; porque aquel no es pueblo de entendimiento. Por tanto su hacedor no habrá misericordia de él: ni se compadecerá de él el que le formó.
12 [However], there will be a time when Yahweh will gather them together [again; he will separate them from the people who have conquered them, like people] separate wheat from chaff. He will bring them [back to Israel], one by one, from [the land between] the Euphrates River [in the northeast] and the brook at the border of Egypt [in the southwest].
Y acontecerá en aquel día, que aventará Jehová desde la ribera del río hasta el río de Egipto, y vosotros, hijos de Israel, seréis congregados uno a uno.
13 At that time, a trumpet will be blown very loudly. And those who were exiled to Assyria and Egypt and who almost died there will return to Jerusalem, to worship Yahweh on [Zion], his holy hill.
Acontecerá también en aquel día, que será tañido con gran voz de trompeta; y vendrán, los que habían sido esparcidos en la tierra de Asiria, y los que habían sido echados en tierra de Egipto, y adorarán a Jehová en el monte santo en Jerusalem.
