Isaiah 25
Lexham English Bible
Praise for Salvation
25 Yahweh, you are my God; I will exalt you.
    I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,[a]
    plans[b] of old,[c] in faithfulness, trustworthiness.
2 For you have made[d] the city a heap,
    the fortified city a ruin,
the palace of foreigners is no longer[e] a city;
    it will never[f] be rebuilt.
3 Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
    a city of ruthless nations, they will fear you.
4 For you have been a refuge to the poor,
    a refuge to the needy in his distress,
a shelter from the rainstorm,
    a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless was like a rainstorm against a wall,[g]
5     the noise of foreigners like heat in a dry land.
You subdued the heat with the shade of a cloud;
    the song of the ruthless was silenced.
6 And on this mountain Yahweh of hosts will make for all peoples a rich feast,[h]
    a feast of aged wines, fat filled with marrow, filtered aged wine.
7 And on this mountain he will destroy[i] the face of the shroud,
    the shroud over all peoples,
    and the woven covering over all nations.
8 He will destroy[j] death forever,
    and the Lord Yahweh will wipe off the tears from all faces,
    and he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth,
for Yahweh has spoken.
9 And one will say, on that day,
“Look! This is our God! We have waited for him and he saved us!
    This is Yahweh; we waited for him!
Let us be glad,
    and let us rejoice in his salvation.”
10 For the hand of Yahweh will rest on this mountain,
    and Moab shall be trampled down under him
        as a heap of straw is trampled down[k] in waters of[l] a dung heap.
11 And it[m] will spread out its hands in the midst of it,
    just as the swimmer spreads out to swim,
        and its pride will be brought low with the movement[n] of its hands.
12 And he will throw down the fortification of the high point of your walls;
    he will bring it low;
he will send it[o] to the ground,
    to the dust.

Isaías 25
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Canto de acción de gracias
25 Isaías dijo:
«Tú eres mi Dios.
Yo alabo y bendigo tu nombre,
porque has realizado planes admirables
que prometiste desde tiempos antiguos.
2 Has destruido las fortalezas
de nuestros enemigos,
has dejado las ciudades
hechas un montón de ruinas.
¡Nunca más serán reconstruidas!
3 Ahora los pueblos fuertes y tiranos
te obedecen y te adoran.
4 »Has sido un refugio para el débil
y has protegido al pobre en su aflicción.
Tú eres un refugio en la tormenta,
una sombra que protege del calor.
»El soplo de los tiranos
es como una tormenta de invierno;
5 es como el calor del desierto.
Tú frenaste el ataque de los enemigos,
y así pusiste fin
al canto de victoria de los tiranos.
El banquete de Dios
6 »El Dios todopoderoso
prepara en Jerusalén
un banquete para todas las naciones.
Allí hay ricos manjares,
comidas deliciosas,
y los mejores vinos.
7 »Dios acabará
con la tristeza de las naciones.
8-9 Dios destruirá para siempre
el poder de la muerte.
Dios secará las lágrimas de todos
y borrará la vergüenza de su pueblo
en toda la tierra.
»Ese día se dirá:
“Ahí está nuestro Dios.
En él confiamos, y nos salvó.
¡Gritemos de alegría
porque Dios nos ha salvado!”
»Dios ha jurado que así será».
La derrota del pueblo de Moab
10 Isaías continuó diciendo:
«Dios protegerá a Jerusalén,
pero Moab será pisoteado
como se pisotea la basura.
11 Moab intentará surgir de nuevo,
pero por más que se esfuerce,
Dios aplastará su orgullo.
12 Dios hará caer sus altas murallas
y las dejará tendidas por el suelo».
