Isaiah 61 ~ Isaías 61

1 T he Spirit of the Lord God is on me, because the Lord has chosen me to bring good news to poor people. He has sent me to heal those with a sad heart. He has sent me to tell those who are being held and those in prison that they can go free.

El Espíritu del Señor Dios está sobre mí, porque me ha ungido el Señor para traer buenas nuevas a los afligidos; me ha enviado para vendar a los quebrantados de corazón, para proclamar libertad a los cautivos y liberación a los prisioneros;

2 H e has sent me to tell about the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day our God will bring punishment. He has sent me to comfort all who are filled with sorrow.

para proclamar el año favorable del Señor, y el día de venganza de nuestro Dios; para consolar a todos los que lloran,

3 T o those who have sorrow in Zion I will give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes. I will give them the oil of joy instead of sorrow, and a spirit of praise instead of a spirit of no hope. Then they will be called oaks that are right with God, planted by the Lord, that He may be honored.

para conceder que a los que lloran en Sion se les dé diadema en vez de ceniza, aceite de alegría en vez de luto, manto de alabanza en vez de espíritu abatido; para que sean llamados robles de justicia, plantío del Señor, para que El sea glorificado.

4 T hey will build the cities again that were destroyed long ago. They will raise up what had been torn down, and will build the cities that were destroyed, and have lain waste through the years of many families and their children’s children.

Entonces reedificarán las ruinas antiguas, levantarán los lugares devastados de antaño, y restaurarán las ciudades arruinadas, los lugares devastados de muchas generaciones.

5 S trangers will stand and feed your flocks. Men from other lands will be your farmers and care for your vines.

Se presentarán extraños y apacentarán vuestros rebaños, e hijos de extranjeros serán vuestros labradores y vuestros viñadores.

6 B ut you will be called the religious leaders of the Lord. Men will speak of you as servants of our God. You will eat the riches of the nations, and in their riches you will speak with pride.

Y vosotros seréis llamados sacerdotes del Señor; ministros de nuestro Dios se os llamará. Comeréis las riquezas de las naciones, y en su gloria os jactaréis.

7 I nstead of your shame you will have a share that is twice as much. Instead of being without honor, they will sing for joy over all you receive. So they will have twice as much in their land, and joy that lasts forever will be theirs.

En vez de vuestra vergüenza tendréis doble porción, y en vez de humillación ellos gritarán de júbilo por su herencia. Por tanto poseerán el doble en su tierra, y tendrán alegría eterna.

8 F or I, the Lord, love what is right and fair. I hate stealing and what is wrong. I will be faithful to pay them what they should have. And I will make an agreement with them that will last forever.

Porque yo, el Señor, amo el derecho, odio el latrocinio en el holocausto. Fielmente les daré su recompensa, y haré con ellos un pacto eterno.

9 T heir children will be known among the nations. Their children’s children will be known among the people. All who see them will know them, because they are the people to whom the Lord has brought honor.

Entonces su descendencia será conocida entre las naciones, y sus vástagos en medio de los pueblos; todos los que los vean los reconocerán, porque son la simiente que el Señor ha bendecido.

10 I will have much joy in the Lord. My soul will have joy in my God, for He has clothed me with the clothes of His saving power. He has put around me a coat of what is right and good, as a man at his own wedding wears something special on his head, and as a bride makes herself beautiful with stones of great worth.

En gran manera me gozaré en el Señor, mi alma se regocijará en mi Dios; porque El me ha vestido de ropas de salvación, me ha envuelto en manto de justicia como el novio se engalana con una corona, como la novia se adorna con sus joyas.

11 A s the earth lets its new plants grow, and as a garden causes the things planted in it to grow, in the same way, the Lord God will cause what is right and good and words of praise to grow up in front of all the nations.

Porque como la tierra produce sus renuevos, y como el huerto hace brotar lo sembrado en él, así el Señor Dios hará que la justicia y la alabanza broten en presencia de todas las naciones.
