Isaiah 32 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Watch! A king is coming who does what's right when he rules, and those who rule under him will act fairly.
1 HE aquí que en justicia reinará un rey, y príncipes presidirán en juicio.
2 Each one will be like a shelter from the wind, like a protection from the storm, like rivers of water in the dry desert, like the shade of a large rock in a sun-baked land.
2 Y será aquel varón como escondedero contra el viento, y como acogida contra el turbión; como arroyos de aguas en tierra de sequedad, como sombra de gran peñasco en tierra calurosa.
3 Then everyone with eyes will be able to truly see, and everyone who has ears will be able to truly hear.
3 No se ofuscarán entonces los ojos de los que ven, y los oídos de los oyentes oirán atentos.
4 Those whose minds are impulsive will be sensible and think things through; those who stammer will speak clearly.
4 Y el corazón de los necios entenderá para saber, y la lengua de los tartamudos será desenvuelta para hablar claramente.
5 No longer will fools be called respectable or crooks highly-regarded.
5 El mezquino nunca más será llamado liberal, ni será dicho generoso el avariento.
6 For fools only talk foolishness, thinking evil things. They act in opposition to the Lord, misrepresenting him in what they say. They refuse to give food to the hungry and deny water to the thirsty.
6 Porque el mezquino hablará mezquindades, y su corazón fabricará iniquidad, para hacer la impiedad y para hablar escarnio contra Jehová, dejando vacía el alma hambrienta, y quitando la bebida al sediento.
7 Cheats use evil methods; they devise schemes to ruin the poor with lies, even when right is on the side of the poor.
7 Cierto los avaros malas medidas [tienen]: él maquina pensamientos para enredar á los simples con palabras cautelosas, y para hablar en juicio [contra] el pobre.
8 But noble people act unselfishly; they keep to their principles of generosity.
8 Mas el liberal pensará liberalidades, y por liberalidades subirá.
9 Get up, you women who are lying around relaxing, and pay attention to what I'm saying! You ladies without a care in the world, listen to me!
9 Mujeres reposadas, levantaos, oid mi voz; confiadas, escuchad mi razón.
10 In just over a year, you who think yourselves so safe will tremble with fear. The grape harvest is going to fail and there'll be no harvest.
10 Días y años tendréis espanto, oh confiadas; porque la vendimia faltará, y la cosecha no acudirá.
11 Shudder, you women relaxing! Tremble, you ladies who feel so safe! Strip off your clothes, bare yourselves and put on sackcloth around your waists.
11 Temblad, oh reposadas; turbaos, oh confiadas: despojaos, desnudaos, ceñid los lomos [con saco].
12 Beat your breasts in sadness over the loss of your lovely fields, your productive vines,
12 Sobre los pechos lamentarán por los campos deleitosos, por la vid fértil.
13 over the loss of the land of my people. Mourn because it's now overgrown with thorns and brambles, mourn because of the loss of all the happy homes and joyful towns.
13 Sobre la tierra de mi pueblo subirán espinas y cardos; y aun sobre todas las casas de placer en la ciudad de alegría.
14 The palace is abandoned, the crowded town is deserted. Castles and watch towers will forever become homes loved by wild donkeys, and places where sheep graze,
14 Porque los palacios serán desiertos, la multitud de la ciudad cesará: las torres y fortalezas se tornarán cuevas para siempre, donde huelguen asnos monteses, y ganados hagan majada:
15 until the Spirit is poured out on us from above, and the desert becomes like a good field full of crops, and a good field will grow like a forest.
15 Hasta que sobre nosotros sea derramado espíritu de lo alto, y el desierto se torne en campo labrado, y el campo labrado sea estimado por bosque.
16 Then people living in the desert will practice justice, and those living among the fields will do what is right.
16 Y habitará el juicio en el desierto, y en el campo labrado asentará la justicia.
17 Living right will bring peace and security that endures.
17 Y el efecto de la justicia será paz; y la labor de justicia, reposo y seguridad para siempre.
18 My people will live in peace, safe and secure in their homes.
18 Y mi pueblo habitará en morada de paz, y en habitaciones seguras, y en recreos de reposo.
19 Even though hail can destroy a forest, and a town can be demolished,
19 Y el granizo, cuando descendiere, [será] en los montes; y la ciudad será del todo abatida.
20 you will be happy as you sow your crops beside the waters and let your cattle and donkeys roam freely.
20 Dichosos vosotros los que sembráis sobre todas aguas, y metéis [en ellas] el pie de buey y de asno.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall rule with judgment." And with regard to the foundation on which it shall be rebuilt, he says: "Behold, I will lay in order for thee a carbuncle stone, and sapphire for thy foundations; and I will lay thy ramparts with jasper, and thy gates with crystal, and thy wall with choice …
