Isaías 51:3-5
Dios Habla Hoy
3 Yo seré bondadoso con Sión,
la ciudad que estaba toda en ruinas.
Convertiré las tierras secas del desierto en un jardín,
como el jardín que el Señor plantó en Edén.
Allí habrá felicidad y alegría,
cantos de alabanza y son de música.
4 «Pueblos, préstenme atención,
escúchenme, naciones:
yo publicaré mi enseñanza
y mis mandamientos alumbrarán a los pueblos.
5 Mi victoria está cercana,
mi acción salvadora está en camino;
con mi poder gobernaré a los pueblos.
Los países del mar esperarán en mí
y confiarán en mi poder.
Isaiah 51:3-5

Isaiah 51:3-5
New English Translation
3 Certainly the Lord will console Zion;
he will console all her ruins.
He will make her wilderness like Eden,
her arid rift valley like the garden of the Lord.[a]
Happiness and joy will be restored to[b] her,
thanksgiving and the sound of music.
4 Pay attention to me, my people.
Listen to me, my people!
For[c] I will issue a decree,[d]
I will make my justice a light to the nations.[e]
5 I am ready to vindicate,[f]
I am ready to deliver,[g]
I will establish justice among the nations.[h]
The coastlands[i] wait patiently for me;
they wait in anticipation for the revelation of my power.[j]
Footnotes
- Isaiah 51:3 sn The rift valley (עֲרָבָה, ʿaravah) is known for its dry, desert-like conditions in the area of the Dead Sea and southward (although it also includes the Jordan Valley to the north). The wilderness (מִדְבָּר, midbar) is an area that receives less than twelve inches of rain per year and so can only support meager vegetation at best. The imagery here focuses on the transformation from arid and lifeless to watered and luxuriant.
