Isaiah 54

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
1 Give praise, you who are barren and unable to conceive. Sing praise and make a joyful noise, you who have not given birth. For many are the children of the desolate, more so than of her who has a husband, says the Lord.	1 ¡Grita de alegría, estéril, tú que no has dado a luz; prorrumpe en gritos de alegría, aclama, tú que no has conocido los dolores del parto! Porque los hijos de la mujer desamparada, son más numerosos que los de la desposada, dice el Señor.
2 Enlarge the place of your tent and extend the skins of your tabernacles, unsparingly. Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.	2 ¡Ensancha el espacio de tu carpa, despliega tus lonas sin mezquinar, alarga tus cuerdas, afirma tus estacas!
3 For you shall extend to the right and to the left. And your offspring shall inherit the nations, and you shall inhabit the desolate cities.	3 Porque te expandirás a derecha y a izquierda, tu descendencia poseerá naciones enteras y poblará ciudades desoladas.
4 Do not be afraid! For you will not be confounded, and you will not blush. And you will not be put to shame, because you shall forget the confusion of your youth, and you shall no longer remember the disgrace of your widowhood.	4 No temas, porque no te avergonzarás: no te sonrojes, porque no serás confundida: olvidarás la ignominia de tu adolescencia y no te acordarás del oprobio de tu viudez.
5 For the One who made you will rule over you. The Lord of hosts is his name. And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, will be called the God of all the earth.	5 Porque tu esposo es aquel que te hizo: su nombre es Señor de los ejércitos; tu redentor es el Santo de Israel: él se llama «Dios de toda la tierra».
6 For the Lord has called you, like a woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, and like a wife rejected in her youth, said your God.	6 Sí, como a una esposa abandonada y afligida te ha llamado el Señor: «¿Acaso se puede despreciar a la esposa de la juventud?». dice el Señor.
7 For a brief moment, I have forsaken you, and with great pities, I will gather you.	7 Por un breve instante te dejé abandonada, pero con gran ternura te uniré conmigo;
8 In a moment of indignation, I have hidden my face from you, for a little while. But with everlasting mercy, I have taken pity on you, said your Redeemer, the Lord.	8 en un arrebato de indignación, te oculté mi rostro por un instante, pero me compadecí de ti con amor eterno, dice tu redentor, el Señor.
9 For me, it is just as in the days of Noah, to whom I swore that I would no longer bring in the waters of Noah over the earth. Thus have I sworn not to be angry with you, and not to rebuke you.	9 Me sucederá como en los días de Noé, cuando juré que las aguas de Noé ni inundarían de nuevo la tierra: así he jurado no irritarme más contra ti ni amenazarte nunca más.
10 For the mountains will be moved, and the hills will tremble. But my mercy will not depart from you, and the covenant of my peace will not be shaken, said the Lord, who has compassion on you.	10 Aunque se aparten las montañas y vacilen las colinas, mi amor no se apartará de ti, mi alianza de paz no vacilará, dice el Señor, que se compadeció de ti.
11 O poor little ones, convulsed by the tempest, away from any consolation! Behold, I will set your stones in order, and I will lay your foundation with sapphires,	11 ¡Oprimida, atormentada, sin consuelo! ¡Mira! Por piedras, te pondré turquesas y por cimientos, zafiros;
12 and I will make your ramparts out of jasper, and your gates out of sculpted stones, and all your borders out of desirable stones.	12 haré tus almenas de rubíes, tus puertas de cristal y todo tu contorno de piedras preciosas.
13 All your children will be taught by the Lord. And great will be the peace of your children.	13 Todos tus hijos serán discípulos del Señor, y será grande la paz de tus hijos.
14 And you will be founded in justice. Depart far from oppression, for you will not be afraid. And depart from terror, for it will not approach you.	14 Estarás afianzada en la justicia, lejos de la opresión, porque nada temerás, lejos del temor, porque no te alcanzará.
15 Behold, a settler will arrive, who was not with me, a certain new arrival will be joined to you.	15 Si alguien te ataca, no será de parte mía, el que te ataque, caerá a causa de ti.
16 Behold, I created the smith who fans the coals of the fire and produces an object by his work, and I have created the slayer who destroys.	16 Yo he creado al herrero que sopla las brasas y extrae una herramienta para su obra; yo he creado también al destructor para arrasar.
17 No object which has been formed to use against you will succeed. And every tongue that resists you in judgment, you shall judge. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and this is their justice with me, says the Lord.	17 Ninguna herramienta forjada contra ti resultará eficaz, y tú desmentirás a toda lengua que se alce para juzgarte. Esta es la herencia de los servidores del Señor, ésta es la victoria que yo les aseguro –oráculo del Señor–.
