Psalms 50
1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.
Salmo de Asaf. El Señor Dios habló y convocó a la tierra, desde el sol naciente hasta su ocaso.
2 From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.
Desde Sión en plena belleza aparece radiante Dios;
3 Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.
viene el Dios nuestro, y no en silencio; un fuego devorador le precede y en torno suyo ruge la tempestad.
4 His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:
Llama a los cielos de arriba y a la tierra, dispuesto a hacer juicio sobre su pueblo:
5 Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.
“¡Congregadme a los piadosos, los que han hecho alianza conmigo mediante sacrificios!”
6 And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
Y he aquí que los cielos proclaman su justicia, porque el Juez es Dios mismo.
7 Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
“Oye, pueblo mío, y hablaré; Israel, voy a dar testimonio contra ti; Yo soy Dios, el Dios tuyo.
8 I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.
No te reprendo por falta de tus sacrificios, pues tus holocaustos están siempre delante de Mí.
9 I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;
No tomaré ni un becerro de tu casa, ni carneros de tus manadas.
10 For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
Puesto que son mías todas las fieras de la selva, y las bestias que por millares viven en mis montañas.
11 I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.
Conozco todas las aves del cielo, y cuanto se mueve en el campo está de manifiesto a mis ojos.
12 If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
Si tuviera hambre, no te lo diría a ti, porque mío es el orbe y cuanto él contiene.
13 Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?
¿Acaso Yo como carne de toros, o bebo sangre de chivos?
14 Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;
Sacrificios de alabanza es lo que has de ofrecer a Dios, y cumplir al Altísimo tus votos.
15 Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.
Entonces sí, invócame en el día de la angustia; Yo te libraré y tú me darás gloria.”
16 But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
Al pecador, empero, le dice Dios: “¿Cómo es que andas tú pregonando mis mandamientos, y tienes mi alianza en tus labios,
17 Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words.
tú, que aborreces la instrucción, y has echado a la espalda mis palabras?
18 When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives.
Cuando ves a un ladrón te vas con él, y te asocias a los adúlteros.
19 You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit.
Has abierto tu boca al mal, y tu lengua ha urdido engaño.
20 You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son.
Te sentabas para hablar contra tu hermano, y cubrías de oprobio al hijo de tu madre.
21 These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes.
Esto hiciste, y ¿Yo he de callar? ¿Imaginaste que Yo soy como tú? Yo te pediré cuentas y te lo echaré en cara.
22 Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help:
Entended estas cosas los que os olvidáis de Dios; no sea que Yo os destroce y no haya quien os salve.
23 Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
El que me ofrece el sacrificio de alabanza, ese es el que honra; y al que anda en sinceridad, a ese le haré ver la salvación de Dios.”
