Isaiah 32
1 Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
He aquí que para justicia reinará rey, y príncipes presidirán para juicio.
2 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.
Y será aquel varón como escondedero contra el viento, y como acogida contra el turbión, como riberas de aguas en tierra de sequedad, como sombra de gran peñasco en tierra calurosa.
3 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.
No se cegarán entonces los ojos de los que ven, y los oídos de los que oyen oirán.
4 [Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
Y el corazón de los tontos entenderá para saber, y la lengua de los tartamudos será desenvuelta para hablar claramente.
5 [At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
El mezquino nunca más será llamado liberal, ni será dicho largo el avariento.
6 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.
Porque el mezquino hablará mezquindades, y su corazón fabricará iniquidad para hacer la impiedad, y para hablar escarnio contra Jehová, dejando vacía el alma hambrienta, y quitando la bebida al sediento.
7 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.
Cierto el avaro malas medidas tiene: él maquina pensamientos para enredar a los simples con palabras cautelosas, y para hablar en juicio contra el pobre.
8 But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
Mas el liberal pensará liberalidades; y por liberalidades subirá.
9 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!
Mujeres reposadas, levantáos: oíd mi voz, confiadas, escuchád mi razón.
10 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.
Días y años tendréis espanto, o! confiadas; porque la vendimia faltará, y la cosecha no acudirá.
11 [So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
Temblád, o! reposadas, turbáos, o! confiadas: despojáos, desnudáos, ceñíd los lomos.
12 Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
Sobre los pechos endecharán, sobre los campos deleitosos, sobre la vid fértil.
13 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.
Sobre la tierra de mi pueblo subirán espinas y cardos; y aun sobre todas las casas de placer en la ciudad de alegría.
14 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.
Porque los palacios serán desiertos, la multitud de la ciudad cesará: las torres y fortalezas se tornarán cuevas para siempre, donde huelguen asnos monteses, y ganados hagan majada:
15 [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.
Hasta que sobre nosotros sea derramado espíritu de lo alto, y el desierto se torne campo labrado, y el campo labrado sea estimado por bosque.
16 People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
Y habitará el juicio en el desierto; y en el campo labrado asentará la justicia.
17 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.
Y el efecto de la justicia será paz, y la labor de justicia reposo, y seguridad para siempre.
18 My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
Y mi pueblo habitará en morada de paz, y en habitaciones de confianzas, y en refrigerios de reposo.
19 [Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
Y el granizo, cuando descendiere, será en los montes; y la ciudad será asentada en lugar bajo.
20 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.
¡O dichosos vosotros, los que sembráis sobre todas aguas, los que metéis pie de buey y de asno!
