Isaiah 54 – NIRV & CST

New International Reader’s Version

Isaiah 54:1-17

Jerusalem Will Be Glorious

1“Jerusalem, sing!

You are now like a woman who never had a child.

Burst into song! Shout for joy!

You who have never had labor pains,

you are now all alone.

But you will have more children than a woman who still has a husband,”

says the Lord.

2“Make a large area for your tent.

Spread out its curtains.

Go ahead and make your tent wider.

Make its ropes longer.

Drive the stakes down deeper.

3You will spread out to the right and the left.

Your children after you will drive out the nations that are now living in your land.

They will make their homes in the deserted cities of those nations.

4“Do not be afraid. You will not be put to shame anymore.

Do not be afraid of being dishonored.

People will no longer make fun of you.

You will forget the time when you suffered as slaves in Egypt.

You will no longer remember the shame

of being a widow in Babylon.

5I made you. I am now your husband.

My name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.

I am the Holy One of Israel.

I have set you free.

I am the God of the whole earth.

6You were like a wife who was deserted.

And her heart was broken.

You were like a wife who married young.

And her husband sent her away.

But now I am calling you to come back,” says your God.

7“For a brief moment I left you.

But because I love you so much, I will bring you back.

8For a moment I turned my face away from you.

I was very angry with you.

But I will show you my loving concern.

My faithful love will continue forever,”

says the Lord. He is the one who set you free.

9“During Noah’s time I made a promise.

I said I would never cover the earth with water again.

In the same way, I have promised not to be angry with you.

I will never punish you again.

10The mountains might shake.

The hills might be removed.

But my faithful love for you will never be shaken.

And my covenant that promises peace to you will never be removed,”

says the Lord. He shows you his loving concern.

11“Suffering city, you have been beaten by storms.

You have not been comforted.

I will rebuild you with turquoise stones.

I will rebuild your foundations with lapis lazuli.

12I will line the top of your city wall with rubies.

I will make your gates out of gleaming jewels.

And I will make all your walls out of precious stones.

13I will teach all your children.

And they will enjoy great peace.

14When you do what is right,

you will be made secure.

Your leaders will not be mean to you.

You will not have anything to be afraid of.

You will not be terrified anymore.

Terror will not come near you.

15People might attack you. But I will not be the cause of it.

Those who attack you will give themselves up to you.

16“I created blacksmiths.

They fan the coals into flames of fire.

They make weapons that are fit for their work.

I also created those who destroy others.

17But no weapon used against you will succeed.

People might bring charges against you.

But you will prove that they are wrong.

Those are the things I do for my servants.

I make everything right for them,”

announces the Lord.

Isaías 54:1-17

La futura gloria de Sión

1«Tú, mujer estéril que nunca has dado a luz,

¡grita de alegría!

Tú, que nunca tuviste dolores de parto,

¡prorrumpe en canciones y grita con júbilo!

Porque más hijos que la casada

tendrá la desamparada

—dice el Señor—.

2»Ensancha el espacio de tu tienda,

y despliega las cortinas de tu morada.

¡No te pongas límites!

Alarga tus cuerdas y refuerza tus estacas.

3Porque a derecha y a izquierda te extenderás;

tu descendencia conquistará naciones

y poblará ciudades desoladas.

4»No temas,

porque no serás avergonzada.

No te turbes,

porque no serás humillada.

Olvidarás la vergüenza de tu juventud,

y no recordarás más el oprobio de tu viudez.

5Porque el que te hizo es tu esposo;

su nombre es el Señor Todopoderoso.

Tu Redentor es el Santo de Israel;

¡Dios de toda la tierra es su nombre!

6El Señor te llamará

como a esposa abandonada;

como a mujer angustiada de espíritu,

como a esposa que se casó joven

tan solo para ser rechazada

—dice tu Dios—.

7Te abandoné por un instante,

pero con profunda compasión

volveré a unirme contigo.

8Por un momento, en un arrebato de enojo,

escondí mi rostro de ti;

pero con amor eterno

tendré compasión de ti

—dice el Señor, tu Redentor—.

9»Para mí es como en los días de Noé,

cuando juré que las aguas del diluvio54:9 del diluvio. Lit. de Noé.

no volverían a cubrir la tierra.

Así he jurado no enojarme más contigo,

ni volver a reprenderte.

10Aunque cambien de lugar las montañas

y se tambaleen las colinas,

no cambiará mi fiel amor por ti

ni vacilará mi pacto de paz,

—dice el Señor, que de ti se compadece—.

11»¡Mira tú, ciudad afligida,

atormentada y sin consuelo!

¡Te afirmaré con turquesas,54:11 turquesas. Alt. jaspe, o antimonio, o argamasa.

y te cimentaré con zafiros!54:11 zafiros. Alt. azul ultramarino.

12Con rubíes construiré tus almenas,

con joyas brillantes tus puertas,

y con piedras preciosas todos tus muros.

13El Señor mismo instruirá a todos tus hijos,

y grande será su bienestar.

14Serás establecida en justicia;

lejos de ti estará la opresión,

y nada tendrás que temer;

el terror se apartará de ti,

y no se te acercará.

15Si alguien te ataca,

no será de mi parte;

cualquiera que te ataque

caerá ante ti.

16»Mira, yo he creado al herrero

que aviva las brasas del fuego

y forja armas para sus propios fines.

Yo también he creado al destructor

para que haga estragos.

17No prevalecerá ninguna arma que se forje contra ti;

toda lengua que te acuse será refutada.

Esta es la herencia de los siervos del Señor,

la justicia que de mí procede

—afirma el Señor—.
