Isaías 26
Dios Habla Hoy
Canto de victoria
26 En ese día se cantará este canto en la tierra de Judá:
«Tenemos una ciudad fuerte;
para salvarnos,
el Señor levantó murallas y fortificaciones.
2 Abran las puertas para que pase una nación justa
que se mantiene fiel.
3 Señor, tú conservas en paz a los de carácter firme,
porque confían en ti.
4 Confíen siempre en el Señor,
porque él es refugio eterno.
5 Él hace caer a los orgullosos,
y humilla a la ciudad soberbia
derribándola hasta el suelo,
6 para que los humildes y los pobres
la pisoteen con sus pies.»
7 El camino de los justos es recto;
tú, Señor, haces llano su camino.
8 Nosotros también nos sentimos seguros
en el camino señalado por tus leyes, Señor.
Lo que nuestro corazón desea es pensar en ti.
9 De todo corazón suspiro por ti en la noche;
desde lo profundo de mi ser te busco.
Cuando tú juzgues la tierra,
los hombres aprenderán lo que es justicia.
10 Aunque tengas compasión de los malos,
ellos no aprenderán a ser rectos;
son perversos en tierra de gente honrada
y no tienen en cuenta la grandeza del Señor.
11 Señor, tienes el castigo preparado,
pero ellos no quieren darse cuenta;
cuando vean tu ardiente amor por tu pueblo,
quedarán en ridículo.
¡Ojalá que el fuego de tu ira los devore!
12 Señor, tú nos concedes bienestar;
eres tú, en verdad,
quien realizas todas nuestras obras.
13 Señor y Dios nuestro,
otros señores han sido nuestros amos,
pero sólo a ti te reconocemos por Señor.
14 Ellos están muertos, no volverán a vivir;
no son más que sombras, y no volverán a levantarse;
pues los has castigado, los has destruido,
has acabado con todo recuerdo de ellos.
15 Tú hiciste crecer la nación, Señor;
la hiciste crecer para gloria tuya,
extendiste todas las fronteras del país.
16 En la aflicción te buscamos, Señor,
cuando nos corriges con un simple murmullo.
17 Delante de ti estábamos, Señor,
como cuando a una mujer encinta
se le acerca el momento del parto
y se retuerce y grita de dolor.
18 Concebimos, sentimos los dolores del parto
y dimos a luz, pero no era más que viento.
No hemos traído la salvación al país,
ni va a nacer gente que pueble el mundo.
19 Pero tus muertos sí volverán a vivir,
sus cadáveres resucitarán.
Los que duermen en la tierra se despertarán
y darán gritos de alegría.
Porque tú envías tu luz como rocío
y los muertos volverán a nacer de la tierra.
20 Ve, pueblo mío, entra en tu casa
y cierra las puertas detrás de ti.
Escóndete un poco, hasta que pase la ira del Señor.
21 Porque el Señor va a salir de su palacio
para castigar por sus pecados
a los habitantes de la tierra,
y la tierra no ocultará más sus víctimas
sino que dejará ver los crímenes cometidos en ella.
Yeshayah 26
Orthodox Jewish Bible
26 In that day shall this shir (song) be sung in Eretz Yehudah; We have an Ir Oz (a city of strength); Yeshuah (salvation) is that which He makes [its] chomot (walls) and outer wall.
2 Open ye the She’arim, that the Goy Tzaddik (right-with-G-d people) which is shomer emunim (keeping faith) may enter in.
3 Thou wilt keep him in shalom shalom, whose yetzer (mind-set) is stayed on Thee; because he trusteth in Thee.
4 Trust ye in Hashem forever; for in G-d Hashem is Tzur Olamin;
5 For He bringeth down them that dwell on marom (high); the lofty city, He layeth it low; He layeth it low, even ad eretz; He bringeth it even to aphar (dust).
6 The regel (foot) shall trample it down, even the feet of the oni (oppressed), and the footsteps of the dalim (poor, downtrodden, needy).
7 The Orakh Latzaddik (way of the just) is meiysharim (altogether level, upright, direct ones); Thou, O Yashar (Upright One, Straight One), straighten the ma’agal (circuit) of the tzaddik.
8 Indeed, in the orakh of Thy mishpatim, Hashem, have we waited for Thee; our ta’avat nefesh (yearning of soul) is for Thy Shem, and for the zekher (memory, remembrance) of Thee.
9 With my nefesh have I desired thee in the lailah; yes, with my ruach within me will I seek Thee; for when Thy mishpatim are upon ha’aretz, the inhabitants of the tevel will learn tzedek.
10 Let grace be shown to the rasha, yet he will not learn tzedek; in the Eretz Nekhochot (Land of Straightforwardness) he will deal unjustly, and will not regard the ge’ut Hashem (majesty, exaltedness of Hashem).
11 Hashem, when Thy Yad (hand, power) is lifted up, they will not see; but let them see and be ashamed of their kinat Am (envy of [G-d’s] people); indeed, the eish of Thine enemies shall devour them.
12 Hashem, Thou wilt ordain shalom for us; for Thou also hast wrought all our ma’asim (works, deeds) in us.
13 Hashem Eloheinu, other adonim besides Thee have had dominion over us; but by Thee only do we keep Thy Shem in remembrance.
14 They are mesim (dead ones), they shall not live; they are refa’im (dead ones) [see Job 26:5], they shall not rise; therefore Thou hast visited and destroyed them, and made all their zekher (memory) to perish.
15 Thou hast increased the Goy (nation, people), Hashem, Thou hast increased the Goy; Thou hast gained glory; Thou hadst extended all the borders of the Eretz.
16 Hashem, in tzoros have they visited Thee, they davened a lachash (whisper) when Thy musar (chastening) was upon them.
17 Like a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, in travail, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in Thy sight, Hashem.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth ruach (wind); we have not wrought yeshu’ot (salvation of any kind) in Eretz; neither have inhabitants of the tevel (world) been born.
19 Thy mesim (dead men, see also Dan 12:2) shall live, together with my nevelah (dead bodies, corpses) shall they arise. Awake and sing for joy, ye that dwell in aphar (dust); for Thy tal (dew) is like the orot tal (morning dew), and Eretz shall give birth to repha’im (dead ones).
20 Come, My people, enter thou into thy chederim, and shut thy delatot behind thee; hide thyself for a little rega (moment, while), until the za’am (wrath, indignation [of G-d]) has passed.
21 For, hinei, Hashem goeth forth from His Makom (place, home) to punish the avon (iniquity) of inhabitants of ha’aretz; ha’aretz also shall disclose her dahm, and shall no more cover over her slain.
Isaiah 26
New International Version
A Song of Praise
26 In that day(A) this song will be sung(B) in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;(C)
God makes salvation
its walls(D) and ramparts.(E)
2 Open the gates(F)
that the righteous(G) nation may enter,
the nation that keeps faith.
3 You will keep in perfect peace(H)
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust(I) in you.
4 Trust(J) in the Lord forever,(K)
for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock(L) eternal.
5 He humbles those who dwell on high,
he lays the lofty city low;
he levels it to the ground(M)
and casts it down to the dust.(N)
6 Feet trample(O) it down—
the feet of the oppressed,(P)
the footsteps of the poor.(Q)
7 The path of the righteous is level;(R)
you, the Upright One,(S) make the way of the righteous smooth.(T)
8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,[a](U)
we wait(V) for you;
your name(W) and renown
are the desire of our hearts.
9 My soul yearns for you in the night;(X)
in the morning my spirit longs(Y) for you.
When your judgments(Z) come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness.(AA)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(AB)
they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil(AC)
and do not regard(AD) the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, your hand is lifted high,(AE)
but they do not see(AF) it.
Let them see your zeal(AG) for your people and be put to shame;(AH)
let the fire(AI) reserved for your enemies consume them.
12 Lord, you establish peace(AJ) for us;
all that we have accomplished you have done(AK) for us.
13 Lord our God, other lords(AL) besides you have ruled over us,
but your name(AM) alone do we honor.(AN)
14 They are now dead,(AO) they live no more;
their spirits(AP) do not rise.
You punished them and brought them to ruin;(AQ)
you wiped out all memory of them.(AR)
15 You have enlarged the nation, Lord;
you have enlarged the nation.(AS)
You have gained glory for yourself;
you have extended all the borders(AT) of the land.
16 Lord, they came to you in their distress;(AU)
when you disciplined(AV) them,
they could barely whisper(AW) a prayer.[b]
17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth(AX)
writhes and cries out in her pain,
so were we in your presence, Lord.
18 We were with child, we writhed in labor,
but we gave birth(AY) to wind.
We have not brought salvation(AZ) to the earth,
and the people of the world have not come to life.(BA)
19 But your dead(BB) will live, Lord;
their bodies will rise—
let those who dwell in the dust(BC)
wake up and shout for joy—
your dew(BD) is like the dew of the morning;
the earth will give birth to her dead.(BE)
20 Go, my people, enter your rooms
and shut the doors(BF) behind you;
hide(BG) yourselves for a little while
until his wrath(BH) has passed by.(BI)
21 See, the Lord is coming(BJ) out of his dwelling(BK)
to punish(BL) the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood(BM) shed on it;
the earth will conceal its slain no longer.
