Isaiah 51
1 Listen to me, you who follow what is just and who seek the Lord. Pay attention to the rock from which you have been hewn, and to the walls of the pit from which you have been dug.
Oídme, los que seguís justicia, los que buscáis a Jehová: mirád a la piedra de donde fuisteis cortados, y a la caverna del hoyo de donde fuisteis arrancados.
2 Pay attention to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who bore you. For I called him alone, and I blessed him, and I multiplied him.
Mirád a Abraham vuestro padre, y a Sara la que os parió; porque solo le llamé, y le bendije, y le multipliqué.
3 Therefore, the Lord will console Zion, and he will console all its ruins. And he will turn her desert into a place of delights, and her wilderness into a garden of the Lord. Gladness and rejoicing will be found in her, thanksgiving and a voice of praise.
Ciertamente consolará Jehová a Sión, consolará todas sus soledades; y tornará su desierto como Paraíso, y su soledad como huerto de Jehová: hallarse ha en ella alegría y gozo, confesión y voz de cantar.
4 Pay attention to me, my people, and listen to me, my tribes. For a law will go forth from me, and my judgment will rest as a light for the nations.
Estád atentos a mí, pueblo mío, y oídme, nación mía; porque de mí saldrá la ley, y mi juicio descubriré para luz de pueblos.
5 My just one is near. My savior has gone forth. And my arms will judge the people. The islands will hope in me, and they will patiently wait for my arm.
Cercana está mi justicia, salido ha mi salud, y mis brazos juzgarán a los pueblos. A mí esperarán las islas, y en mi brazo pondrán su esperanza.
6 Lift up your eyes to heaven, and look down to the earth below. For the heavens will vanish like smoke, and the earth will be worn away like a garment, and its inhabitants will pass away in like manner. But my salvation will be forever, and my justice will not fail.
Alzád a los cielos vuestros ojos, y mirád abajo a la tierra; porque los cielos serán deshechos como humo, y la tierra se envejecerá como ropa de vestir; y de la misma manera perecerán sus moradores: mas mi salud será para siempre, y mi justicia no perecerá.
7 Listen to me, you who know what is just, my people who have my law in their heart. Do not be afraid of disgrace among men, and do not dread their blasphemies.
Oídme, los que conocéis justicia, pueblo en cuyo corazón está mi ley: No temáis afrenta de hombre, ni desmayéis por sus denuestos:
8 For the worm will consume them like a garment, and the moth will devour them like wool. But my salvation will be forever, and my justice will be from generation to generation.
Porque como a vestidura los comerá polilla, como a lana los comerá gusano: mas mi justicia permanecerá perpetuamente, y mi salud para siglo de siglos.
9 Rise up, Rise up! Clothe yourself in strength, O arm of the Lord! Rise up as in the days of antiquity, as in generations long past. Have you not struck the arrogant one and wounded the dragon?
Despiértate, despiértate, vístete de fortaleza, o! brazo de Jehová: despiértate como en el tiempo antiguo, en los siglos pasados. ¿No eres tú el que cortó al soberbio, el que hirió al dragón?
10 Have not you dried up the sea, the waters of the great abyss, and turned the depths of the sea into a road, so that the delivered could cross over it?
¿No eres tú el que secó la mar, las aguas de la gran hondura: el que al profundo de la mar tornó en camino, para que pasasen los redimidos?
11 And now, those who have been redeemed by the Lord will return. And they will arrive in Zion, praising. And everlasting rejoicing will be upon their heads. They will take hold of gladness and rejoicing. Anguish and mourning will flee away.
Cierto los redimidos de Jehová tornarán: volverán a Sión cantando; y gozo perpetuo será sobre sus cabezas: poseerán gozo y alegría; y el dolor y el gemido huirán.
12 It is I, I myself, who will console you. Who are you that you would be afraid of a mortal man, and of a son of man, who will wither like the grass?
Yo, yo soy vuestro consolador: ¿quién eres tú para que tengas temor del hombre que es mortal, y del hijo del hombre que por heno será contado?
13 And have you forgotten the Lord, your Maker, who extended the heavens, and who founded the earth? And have you been in constant dread, all day long, at the face of his fury, of the one who afflicted you and who had prepared to destroy you? Where is the fury of the oppressor now?
Y has te ya olvidado de Jehová tu Hacedor, que extendió los cielos, y fundó la tierra; y todo el día tuviste temor continuamente del furor del que aflige, cuando se dispone para destruir, ¿mas a dónde está el furor del que aflige?
14 Advancing quickly, he will arrive to be revealed, and he will not kill unto utter destruction, nor will his bread fail.
El preso se da priesa para ser suelto, por no morir en la mazmorra, y que le falte su pan.
15 But I am the Lord, your God, who stirs up the sea, and who makes the waves swell. The Lord of hosts is my name.
Y yo Jehová soy tu Dios que parto la mar, y suenan sus ondas: Jehová de los ejércitos es su nombre.
16 I have placed my words in your mouth, and I have protected you in the shadow of my hand, so that you might plant the heavens, and found the earth, and so that you might say to Zion, “You are my people.”
Que puse en tu boca mis palabras, y con la sombra de mi mano te cubrí, para que plantases los cielos, y fundases la tierra, y que dijeses a Sión: Pueblo mío eres tú.
17 Lift up, Lift up! Arise, O Jerusalem! You drank, from the hand of the Lord, the cup of his wrath. You drank, even to the bottom of the cup of deep sleep. And you were given to drink, all the way to the dregs.
Despiértate, despiértate, levanta, o! Jerusalem, que bebiste de la mano de Jehová el cáliz de su furor: las heces del cáliz de ponzoña bebiste, y chupaste.
18 There is no one who can uphold her, out of all the sons whom she has conceived. And there is no one who would take her by the hand, out of all the sons whom she has raised.
De todos los hijos que parió, no hay quien la gobierne: no hay quien la tome por su mano de todos los hijos que crió.
19 There are two things which have happened to you. Who will be saddened over you? There is devastation and destruction, and famine and sword. Who will console you?
Estas dos cosas te han acaecido, ¿quién se dolerá de ti? asolamiento y quebrantamiento, hambre y espada: ¿quién te consolará?
20 Your sons have been cast out. They have slept at the head of all the roads, and they have been ensnared like a gazelle. They have been filled by the indignation of the Lord, by the rebuke of your God.
Tus hijos desmayaron, estuvieron tendidos en las encrucijadas de todos los caminos, como buey montés en la red, llenos del furor de Jehová, de la ira del Dios tuyo.
21 Therefore, listen to this, O poor little ones, and you who have been inebriated, but not by wine.
Oye pues ahora esto, miserable, borracha, y no de vino:
22 Thus says your Sovereign, the Lord, and your God, who will fight on behalf of his people: Behold, I have taken the cup of deep sleep from your hand. You shall no longer drink from the bottom of the cup of my indignation.
Así dijo tu Señor Jehová, y tu Dios, el que pleitéa por su pueblo: He aquí, he quitado de tu mano el cáliz de la ponzoña, la hez del cáliz de mi furor: nunca más lo beberás.
23 And I will set it in the hand of those who have humiliated you, and who have said to your soul: “Bow down, so that we pass over.” And you placed your body on the ground, as a path for them to pass over.
Y ponerlo he en la mano de tus angustiadores, que dijeron a tu alma: Abájate, y pasaremos; y tú pusiste tu cuerpo como tierra, y como camino a los que pasan.
