Isaías 32
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Reinado del rey justo
32 Ciertamente, un rey reinará con justicia(A),
Y príncipes gobernarán con rectitud.
2 Cada uno será como refugio(B) contra el viento
Y un abrigo contra la tormenta,
Como corrientes[a] de agua en tierra seca(C),
Como la sombra(D) de una gran[b] peña en tierra árida[c].
3 No se cegarán[d] entonces los ojos de los que ven,
Y los oídos de los que oyen escucharán(E).
4 El corazón de los imprudentes discernirá la verdad[e](F),
Y la lengua de los tartamudos se apresurará a hablar claramente.
5 Ya no se llamará noble al necio(G),
Ni se le dirá generoso al tramposo.
6 Pues el necio habla necedades,
Y su corazón se inclina hacia[f] el mal(H),
Para practicar la impiedad(I) y hablar falsedad contra el Señor,
Para mantener con hambre al hambriento[g](J)
Y para privar de[h] bebida al sediento.
7 En cuanto al tramposo, sus armas son malignas;
Trama designios perversos(K)
Para destruir con calumnias[i] a los afligidos(L),
Aun cuando el necesitado hable lo que es justo(M).
8 Pero el noble concibe planes nobles,
Y en las cosas nobles se afirma(N).
Advertencia a las mujeres de Jerusalén
9 ¶Levántense, mujeres perezosas(O),
Y oigan mi voz.
Hijas confiadas,
Presten oído a mi palabra(P).
10 Dentro de un año y algunos días,
Se conturbarán, hijas confiadas,
Porque se habrá acabado la vendimia(Q),
Y la recolección del fruto no vendrá.
11 Tiemblen, mujeres perezosas;
Contúrbense(R), hijas confiadas.
Desvístanse, desnúdense(S), y cíñanse cilicio en la cintura.
12 Golpéense el pecho(T), por los campos agradables, por la vid fructífera,
13 Por el suelo de mi pueblo donde crecerán espinos y zarzas(U);
Sí, por todas las casas alegres y por la ciudad divertida(V).
14 Porque el palacio ha sido abandonado(W), hecha un desierto la populosa ciudad[j](X).
Colina[k] y atalaya se han convertido en cuevas(Y) para siempre,
Un deleite para asnos monteses(Z), un pasto para rebaños;
15 Hasta que se derrame sobre nosotros el Espíritu(AA) desde lo alto,
El desierto se convierta en campo fértil
Y el campo fértil sea considerado como bosque(AB).
16 En el desierto morará el derecho,
Y la justicia habitará en el campo fértil(AC).
17 La obra de la justicia será paz(AD),
Y el servicio de la justicia, tranquilidad y confianza[l](AE) para siempre.
18 Entonces habitará mi pueblo en albergue de paz(AF),
En mansiones seguras y en lugares de reposo(AG);
19 Aunque caiga granizo(AH) cuando el bosque caiga(AI),
Y la ciudad sea derribada por completo(AJ).
20 ¡Cuán bienaventurados serán ustedes los que siembran junto a todas las aguas,
Y[m] dejan sueltos al buey y al asno[n](AK)!

Isaiah 32
English Standard Version
A King Will Reign in Righteousness
32 Behold, (A)a king will reign in righteousness,
and princes will rule in justice.
2 (B)Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,
a shelter from the storm,
(C)like streams of water in a dry place,
like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
3 (D)Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will give attention.
4 The heart of the hasty will understand and know,
(E)and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.
5 (F)The fool will no more be called noble,
nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.
6 For (G)the fool speaks folly,
and his heart is busy with iniquity,
to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning the Lord,
(H)to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
7 As for the scoundrel—(I)his devices are evil;
he plans wicked schemes
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.
8 But he who is noble plans noble things,
and on noble things he stands.
Complacent Women Warned of Disaster
9 (J)Rise up, you women (K)who are at ease, hear my voice;
you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
10 In little more than a year
you will shudder, you complacent women;
for the grape harvest fails,
the fruit harvest will not come.
11 Tremble, you women (L)who are at ease,
shudder, you complacent ones;
(M)strip, and make yourselves bare,
(N)and tie sackcloth around your waist.
12 (O)Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vine,
13 (P)for the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
(Q)yes, for all the joyous houses
in the exultant city.
14 For the palace is forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
(R)a joy of wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks;
15 until (S)the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
and (T)the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
17 (U)And the effect of righteousness will be peace,
and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust[a] forever.
18 My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
19 (V)And it will hail when the forest falls down,
(W)and the city will be utterly laid low.
20 (X)Happy are you who sow beside all waters,
who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.

Isaiah 32
New King James Version
A Reign of Righteousness
32 Behold, (A)a king will reign in righteousness,
And princes will rule with justice.
2 A man will be as a hiding place from the wind,
And (B)a [a]cover from the tempest,
As rivers of water in a dry place,
As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 (C)The eyes of those who see will not be dim,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 Also the heart of the [b]rash will (D)understand knowledge,
And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5 The foolish person will no longer be called [c]generous,
Nor the miser said to be bountiful;
6 For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
And his heart will work (E)iniquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry unsatisfied,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with (F)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.
8 But a [d]generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand.
Consequences of Complacency
9 Rise up, you women (G)who are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech.
10 In a year and some days
You will be troubled, you complacent women;
For the vintage will fail,
The gathering will not come.
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease;
Be troubled, you complacent ones;
Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare,
And gird sackcloth on your waists.
12 People shall mourn upon their breasts
For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 (H)On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers,
Yes, on all the happy homes in (I)the joyous city;
14 (J)Because the palaces will be forsaken,
The bustling city will be deserted.
The forts and towers will become lairs forever,
A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks—
15 Until (K)the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
And (L)the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.
The Peace of God’s Reign
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17 (M)The work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.
18 My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation,
In secure dwellings, and in quiet (N)resting places,
19 (O)Though hail comes down (P)on the forest,
And the city is brought low in humiliation.
20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters,
Who send out freely the feet of (Q)the ox and the donkey.
