Isaías 26
1 En aquel día cantarán este cantar en tierra de Judá: Fuerte ciudad tenemos; salud puso Dios por muros y antemuro.
In that day will this song be made in the land of Judah: We have a strong town; he will make salvation our walls and towers.
2 Abrid las puertas, y entrará la gente justa, guardadora de verdades.
Let the doors be open, so that the upright nation which keeps faith may come in.
3 Tú le guardarás en completa paz, cuyo pensamiento en ti persevera; porque en ti se ha confiado.
The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.
4 Confiad en el SEÑOR perpetuamente, porque en JAH, el SEÑOR está la fortaleza de los siglos.
Let your hope be in the Lord for ever: for the Lord Jah is an unchanging Rock.
5 Porque él derribó a los que moraban en lugar sublime; humilló a la ciudad ensalzada, la humilló hasta la tierra, la derribó hasta el polvo.
For he has made low those who are lifted up, all the people of the town of pride: he makes it low, crushing it down to the earth; he makes it low in the dust.
6 La hollará pie, los pies del pobre, los pasos de los menesterosos.
It will be crushed under the feet of the poor and the steps of those who are in need.
7 El camino del justo es rectitud; tú, recto, pesas el camino del justo.
The way of the good man is straight; the road of the upright is made smooth by you.
8 Aun en el camino de tus juicios, oh SEÑOR, te esperamos, a tu nombre y a tu memoria es el deseo del alma.
We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.
9 Con mi alma te deseo en la noche, y entre tanto que me dure el espíritu en medio de mí, madrugaré a buscarte; porque desde que hay juicios tuyos en la tierra, los moradores del mundo aprenden justicia.
In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.
10 Alcanzará piedad el impío, y no aprenderá justicia; en tierra de rectitud hará iniquidad, y no mirará a la majestad del SEÑOR.
Even if you are kind to the evil-doer, he will not go after righteousness; even in the land of the upright he will still go on in his wrongdoing, and will not see the glory of the Lord.
11 SEÑOR, cuando se levante tu mano, no verán; verán al cabo, y se avergonzarán con celo del pueblo. Y a tus enemigos fuego los consumirá.
Lord, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see: let them see ... yes, your haters will be burned up in the fire.
12 SEÑOR, tú nos depararás paz; porque también obraste en nosotros todas nuestras obras.
Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose.
13 SEÑOR Dios nuestro, señores se han enseñoreado de nosotros sin ti; mas en ti solamente nos acordaremos de tu nombre.
O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.
14 Muertos son, no vivirán; privados de la vida no resucitarán; porque los visitaste, y destruiste, y deshiciste toda su memoria.
The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.
15 Añadiste a los gentiles, oh SEÑOR, añadiste a los gentiles; te hiciste glorioso; extendiste hasta todos los términos de la tierra.
You have made the nation great, O Lord, you have made it great; glory is yours: you have made wide the limits of the land.
16 SEÑOR, en la tribulación te buscaron, derramaron oración cuando los castigaste.
Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.
17 Como la mujer encinta cuando se acerca el parto, gime, y da gritos con sus dolores, así hemos sido delante de ti, oh SEÑOR.
As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.
18 Concebimos, tuvimos dolores de parto, parimos como viento; salud ninguna hicimos en la tierra, ni cayeron los moradores del mundo.
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.
19 Tus muertos vivirán, y junto con mi cuerpo resucitarán. ¡Despertad y cantad, moradores del polvo! Porque tu rocío, es cual cubierta de luz; y la tierra echará los muertos.
Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.
20 Anda pues, pueblo mío, entra en tus aposentos, cierra tras ti tus puertas; escóndete un poquito, por un momento, entre tanto que pasa la ira.
Come, my people, into your secret places, and let your doors be shut: keep yourself safe for a short time, till his wrath is over.
21 Porque he aquí, que el SEÑOR sale de su lugar, para visitar la maldad del morador de la tierra contra él; y la tierra descubrirá su sangre, y no encubrirá más sus muertos.
For the Lord is coming out of his place to send punishment on the people of the earth for their evil-doing: the earth will let the blood drained out on her be seen, and will keep her dead covered no longer.
