Isaiah 57
1 The just man perishes, and there is no one who acknowledges it in his heart; and men of mercy are taken away, for there is no one who understands. For the just man has been taken away before the face of malice.
Perece el justo, y no hay quien eche de ver; y los píos son recogidos, y no hay quien entienda que delante de la aflicción es recogido el justo.
2 Let peace arrive. Let he who has walked in his righteousness find rest on his bed.
Vendrá la paz, descansarán sobre sus camas todos los que andan delante de él.
3 But come here, you sons of the prophetess, you offspring of an adulterous man and a fornicating woman.
Y vosotros, llegaos acá, hijos de la agorera; generación del adúltero y de la fornicaria.
4 Whom are you mocking? Against whom have you opened your mouth wide and wagged your tongue? Are you not sons of wickedness, a lying offspring,
¿De quién os habéis burlado? ¿Contra quién ensanchasteis la boca, y alargasteis la lengua? ¿No sois vosotros hijos rebeldes, simiente mentirosa,
5 who are being consoled by idols under every leafy tree, immolating little children at the torrents, under the high rocks?
que os enfervorizáis con los ídolos debajo de todo árbol umbroso, que sacrificáis los hijos en los valles, debajo de los peñascos?
6 Your portion is in the currents of the torrent; this is your lot! And you yourselves have poured out libations to them; you have offered sacrifice. Should I not be angry over these things?
En las pulimentadas piedras del valle está tu parte; ellas, ellas son tu suerte; y a ellas derramaste libación, y ofreciste presente. ¿No me tengo de vengar de estas cosas?
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain, you have placed your bed, and you have ascended to that place to immolate victims.
Sobre el monte alto y empinado pusiste tu cama; allí también subiste a hacer sacrificio.
8 And behind the door, and beyond the post, you have set up your memorial. For you uncovered yourself next to me, and you received an adulterer. You widened your bed, and you formed a pact with them. You loved their bed with an open hand.
Y tras la puerta y el umbral pusiste tu recuerdo; porque a otro y no a mí te descubriste, y subiste, y ensanchaste tu cama, e hiciste con ellos alianza; amaste su cama dondequiera que la veías.
9 And you have adorned yourself for the king with ointments, and you have increased your cosmetics. You have sent your representatives to distant places, and you have debased yourself all the way to Hell. (Sheol h7585)
Y fuiste al rey con ungüento, y multiplicaste tus perfumes, y enviaste tus embajadores lejos, y te abatiste hasta lo profundo. (Sheol h7585)
10 You have been wearied by the multitude of your own ways. Yet you did not say, “I will cease.” You have found life by your own hand; because of this, you have not prayed.
En la multitud de tus caminos te cansaste; mas no dijiste: No hay remedio; hallaste lo que buscabas, por tanto no te arrepentiste.
11 For whose sake have you been anxiously afraid, so that you would lie and not be mindful of me, nor consider me in your heart? For I am silent, and I am like someone who does not see, and so you have forgotten me.
¿Y a quién reverenciaste y temiste? ¿Por qué mientes; que no te has acordado de mí, ni te vino al pensamiento? ¿No he disimulado desde tiempos antiguos, y nunca me has temido?
12 I will announce your justice, and your works will not benefit you.
Yo publicaré tu justicia y tus obras, que no te aprovecharán.
13 When you cry out, let your followers free you. But the wind will carry them all away; a breeze will take them up. But he who has faith in me will inherit the earth and will possess my holy mountain.
Cuando clamares, líbrente tus allegados; pero a todos ellos llevará el viento, los tomará la vanidad; mas el que en mí espera, tendrá la tierra por heredad, y poseerá el Monte de mi santidad.
14 And I will say: “Make way! Grant passage! Move to the side of the path! Take the obstacles out of the way of my people!”
Y dirá: Allanad, allanad; barred el camino; quitad los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo.
15 For this is said by the Most High, the Sublime One, who dwells in eternity. And his name is Holy, for he dwells in the exalted and holy place, and he acts with a restrained and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Porque así dijo el Alto y Sublime, el que habita en eternidad, y cuyo nombre es El Santo, que tengo por morada la altura y la santidad; y con el quebrantado y abatido de espíritu habito, para hacer vivir el espíritu de los abatidos, y para hacer vivir el corazón de los quebrantados.
16 For I will not contend unceasingly, and I will not be angry to the end. For I will exhale my breath, and the Spirit will go forth from my face.
Porque no contenderé para siempre, ni para siempre enojaré; porque el espíritu por mi vistió el cuerpo, y yo hice las almas.
17 Because of the iniquity of his avarice, I was angry, and I struck him down. I concealed my face from you, and I was angry. And he went astray by wandering in his heart.
Por la iniquidad de su codicia me enojé, y le herí; escondí mi rostro y me ensañé; y fue él rebelde por el camino de su corazón.
18 I saw his ways, and I healed him, and I led him back again, and I restored consolations to him and to those who mourn for him.
Miré sus caminos, y le sanaré, y le pastorearé, y le daré consolaciones, a él y a sus enlutados.
19 I created the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him who is far away, and peace to him who is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.
Crío fruto de labios, paz; paz al lejano y al cercano, dijo el SEÑOR, y le sanó.
20 But the impious are like the raging sea, which is not able to be quieted, and its waves stir up dirt and mud.
Mas los impíos, son como el mar en tempestad, que no puede reposar; y sus aguas arrojan cieno y lodo.
21 There is no peace for the impious, says the Lord God.
No hay paz, dijo mi Dios, para los impíos.
