Isaiah — Capítulo 54

Can God rescue us from the problems we face? Can he save us from oppressive world powers? Can he break the power of our sin and help us deal with its consequences? Isaiah answers these questions with a resounding yes! The prophet’s words sometimes overwhelm us with their beauty. At other times, his piercing words reveal our sin and drive us to our knees. Isaiah’s own ministry began with a visio…

1Regocíjate, oh estéril, la que no daba a luz; levanta canción y da voces de júbilo, la que nunca estuvo de parto; porque más son los hijos de la desamparada que los de la casada, ha dicho Jehová.

2Ensancha el sitio de tu tienda, y las cortinas de tus habitaciones sean extendidas; no seas escasa; alarga tus cuerdas, y refuerza tus estacas.

3Porque te extenderás a la mano derecha y a la mano izquierda; y tu descendencia heredará naciones, y habitará las ciudades asoladas.

4No temas, pues no serás confundida; y no te avergüences, porque no serás afrentada, sino que te olvidarás de la vergüenza de tu juventud, y de la afrenta de tu viudez no tendrás más memoria.

5Porque tu marido es tu Hacedor; Jehová de los ejércitos es su nombre; y tu Redentor, el Santo de Israel; Dios de toda la tierra será llamado.

6Porque como a mujer abandonada y triste de espíritu te llamó Jehová, y como a la esposa de la juventud que es repudiada, dijo el Dios tuyo:

7Por un breve momento te abandoné, pero te recogeré con grandes misericordias.

8Con un poco de ira escondí mi rostro de ti por un momento; pero con misericordia eterna tendré compasión de ti, dijo Jehová tu Redentor.

9Porque esto me será como en los días de Noé, cuando juré que nunca más las aguas de Noé pasarían sobre la tierra; así he jurado que no me enojaré contra ti, ni te reñiré.

10Porque los montes se moverán, y los collados temblarán, pero no se apartará de ti mi misericordia, ni el pacto de mi paz se quebrantará, dijo Jehová, el que tiene misericordia de ti.

11Pobrecita, fatigada con tempestad, sin consuelo; he aquí que yo cimentaré tus piedras sobre carbunclo, y sobre zafiros te fundaré.

12Tus ventanas pondré de piedras preciosas, tus puertas de piedras de carbunclo, y toda tu muralla de piedras preciosas.

13Y todos tus hijos serán enseñados por Jehová; y se multiplicará la paz de tus hijos.

14Con justicia serás adornada; estarás lejos de opresión, porque no temerás, y de temor, porque no se acercará a ti.

15Si alguno conspirare contra ti, lo hará sin mí; el que contra ti conspirare, delante de ti caerá.

16He aquí que yo hice al herrero que sopla las ascuas en el fuego, y que saca la herramienta para su obra; y yo he creado al destruidor para destruir.

17Ninguna arma forjada contra ti prosperará, y condenarás toda lengua que se levante contra ti en juicio. Esta es la herencia de los siervos de Jehová, y su salvación de mí vendrá, dijo Jehová.

54:1–55:13 This is an invitation to participate in the restoration to God’s favor made possible through the ministry of the promised servant. 54:1-17 Salvation flows from the vindication of the suffering servant. The promises mentioned here go beyond the return from Babylonian exile and apply to the coming of Jesus Christ, the extension of the kingdom to the church, the benefits of the second coming of Jesus Christ as the bridegroom of the church, and the new Jerusalem. 54:1-3 The prophet encourages Jerusalem, likened to a barren woman, to rejoice because its fate was rapidly changing. She would have so many children that she would outgrow her home (see Gal 4:27). 54:1 In the ancient world, a woman who had never given birth after being married for a time would be ashamed. Isaiah compares Jerusalem to a barren woman who rejoices at the long-awaited blessing of children (see Gal 4:27).
