Isaiah 54

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Biblia Sagrada
1 "Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in travail! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her that is married, says the LORD.	1 Exulta, estéril, que no dabas a luz; | rompe a cantar, alégrate, | tú que no tenías dolores de parto: | porque la abandonada | tendrá más hijos que la casada —dice el Señor—.
2 Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; hold not back, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.	2 Ensancha el espacio de tu tienda, | despliega los toldos de tu morada, | no los restrinjas, | alarga tus cuerdas, | afianza tus estacas,
3 For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left, and your descendants will possess the nations and will people the desolate cities.	3 porque te extenderás de derecha a izquierda. | Tu estirpe heredará las naciones | y poblará ciudades desiertas.
4 "Fear not, for you will not be ashamed; be not confounded, for you will not be put to shame; for you will forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.	4 No temas, no tendrás que avergonzarte, | no te sientas ultrajada, | porque no deberás sonrojarte. | Olvidarás la vergüenza de tu soltería, | no recordarás la afrenta de tu viudez.
5 For your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts is his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called.	5 Quien te desposa es tu Hacedor: | su nombre es Señor todopoderoso. | Tu libertador es el Santo de Israel: | se llama «Dios de toda la tierra».
6 For the LORD has called you like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a wife of youth when she is cast off, says your God.	6 Como a mujer abandonada y abatida | te llama el Señor; | como a esposa de juventud, repudiada | —dice tu Dios—.
7 For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will gather you.	7 Por un instante te abandoné, | pero con gran cariño te reuniré.
8 In overflowing wrath for a moment I hid my face from you, but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you, says the LORD, your Redeemer.	8 En un arrebato de ira, | por un instante te escondí mi rostro, | pero con amor eterno te quiero | —dice el Señor, tu libertador—.
9 "For this is like the days of Noah to me: as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you and will not rebuke you.	9 Me sucede como en los días de Noé: | juré que las aguas de Noé | no volverían a cubrir la tierra; | así juro no irritarme contra ti | ni amenazarte.
10 For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the LORD, who has compassion on you.	10 Aunque los montes cambiasen | y vacilaran las colinas, | no cambiaría mi amor, | ni vacilaría mi alianza de paz | —dice el Señor que te quiere—.
11 "O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in antimony, and lay your foundations with sapphires.	11 ¡Ciudad afligida, azotada por el viento, | a quien nadie consuela! | Mira, yo mismo asiento tus piedras sobre azabaches, | tus cimientos sobre zafiros;
12 I will make your pinnacles of agate, your gates of carbuncles, and all your wall of precious stones.	12 haré tus almenas de rubí, | tus puertas de esmeralda, | y de piedras preciosas tus bastiones.
13 All your sons shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the prosperity of your sons.	13 Tus hijos serán discípulos del Señor, | gozarán de gran prosperidad tus constructores.
14 In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.	14 Tendrás tu fundamento en la justicia: | lejos de la opresión, no tendrás que temer; | lejos del terror, que no se acercará.
15 If any one stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you.	15 Si alguno te ataca, no viene de mi parte; | quien lucha contra ti, frente a ti caerá.
16 Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy;	16 Yo he creado al herrero, | que sopla los carbones y aviva el fuego, | y forja las armas adecuadas. | También he creado al destructor que aniquila.
17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, says the LORD."	17 Ningún arma forjada contra ti podrá dañarte, | rebatirás toda lengua que te acuse en juicio. | Esta es la herencia de los siervos del Señor | y la justicia que les hago —oráculo del Señor—.
