Isaiah 45
1 This is what the Lord says to Cyrus, the one he has anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to direct him to defeat nations and to make kings weak, to open doors before him and gates that will not be shut.
Así dice Jehová a su Mesías Ciro, al cual yo tomé por su mano derecha, para sujetar naciones delante de él, y desatar lomos de reyes: para abrir delante de él puertas; y puertas no se cerrarán.
2 I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will break down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
Yo iré delante de ti, y los rodeos enderezaré: quebrantaré puertas de metal; y cerrojos de hierro haré pedazos.
3 I will give you hidden treasure, treasure concealed in secret places, so that you can know for sure that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
Y darte he los tesoros escondidos, y los secretos muy guardados: para que sepas que yo soy Jehová, que te pongo nombre, el Dios de Israel.
4 I call you by name and I have given you a title of honor, for the sake of Jacob my servant, and Israel the one I chose, even though you don't know me.
Por mi siervo Jacob, y por Israel mi escogido te llamé por tu nombre: púsete tu sobrenombre, aunque no me conociste.
5 I am the Lord, there is no God apart from me. Apart from me there is no God. I will make you strong, even though you don't know me,
Yo Jehová y ninguno más de yo: no hay Dios más de yo. Yo te ceñiré, aunque tú no me conociste:
6 so that everyone, from the east to the west, will know that there is no God apart from me, that I am the Lord, and there is none apart from me.
Para que se sepa desde el nacimiento del sol, y desde donde se pone, que no hay más de yo. Yo Jehová, y ninguno más de yo:
7 I create light, and I make darkness, I bring peace and I bring about disaster. I am the Lord and I do all this.
Que formo la luz, y que crío las tinieblas: que hago la paz, y que crío el mal: Yo Jehová, que hago todo esto.
8 Let the rain fall from the sky above, let goodness fall from the clouds, let the earth open up to receive goodness and salvation so they can grow together. I, the Lord, created them.
Rociád, cielos, de arriba, y las nubes goteen la justicia: ábrase la tierra, y frutifíquense la salud y la justicia: háganse producir juntamente. Yo Jehová lo crié.
9 What trouble people face when they fight with their Creator—they're just pots among all the other pots on earth! Does the clay tell the potter who is shaping it, “What are you doing?” or “What you're making is so bad it's like you have no hands!”
¡Ay de él que pleitéa con su Hacedor! El tiesto contra los tiestos de la tierra. ¿Dirá el barro al que lo labra: Qué haces? ¿y tu obra no tiene manos?
10 How bad it would be if you said to your father, “Why did you have me?” or to your mother, “Why was I ever born?”!
Ay! de el que dice al padre: ¿Por qué engendraste? y a la mujer: ¿Por qué pariste?
11 This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel, your Creator: You can ask me about things to come. But are you going to lecture me about my children and what I do?
Así dice Jehová el Santo de Israel, y su formador: Preguntádme de las cosas por venir: mandádme acerca de mis hijos, y a cerca de la obra de mis manos.
12 I'm the one who made the earth, and I created human beings to live there. It was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordered all the stars to come into being.
Yo hice la tierra, y yo crié sobre ella el hombre. Yo, mis manos extendieron los cielos, y a todo su ejército mandé.
13 Because I do what's right, I will encourage him and smooth out all the roads he takes. He will rebuild my city and will set my exiles free without being paid or bribed to do so, says the Lord Almighty.
Yo le desperté en justicia, y todos sus caminos enderezaré: él edificará mi ciudad, y soltará mis cautivos, no por precio, ni por dones, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
14 This is what the Lord says: “The productive Egyptians and the Ethiopian traders, as well as the tall Sabean people, will come over to you and will belong to you. They will walk behind you in chains and bow down to you, pleading with you, saying, ‘God is certainly with you, and there is no other God besides him.’”
Así dijo Jehová: El trabajo de Egipto, las mercaderías de Etiopía, y los altos de Sabá se pasarán a ti, y serán tuyos: tras ti irán, pasarán con grillos: a ti harán reverencia, y a ti suplicarán. Cierto en ti está Dios; y no hay otro fuera de Dios.
15 Yet you are a God who hides himself, God of Israel, Savior.
Verdaderamente tú eres Dios que te encubres, Dios de Israel, que salvas.
16 Everyone who makes idols are ashamed and humiliated, all of them are disgraced.
Avergonzarse han, y todos ellos se afrentarán: irán con vergüenza todos los fabricadores de imágenes.
17 But Israel will be saved by the Lord with a salvation that lasts forever. You will never be ashamed or disgraced for all eternity.
Israel es salvo en Jehová, salud eterna: no os avergonzaréis, ni os afrentaréis por todos los siglos.
18 For this is what the Lord says, the God who created the heavens, who formed and made the earth, he founded it. He didn't make it to be left empty, but formed it to be inhabited. He is the one who says, I am the Lord, and there is no God apart from me.
Porque así dijo Jehová, que cria los cielos, él mismo, el Dios que forma la tierra, el que la hizo, y la compuso: No la creó para nada, para que fuese habitada la creó: Yo Jehová, y ninguno más de yo.
19 I haven't been talking in secret in an obscure place. I didn't tell the descendants of Jacob: Look for me in a place where no one can be found. I, the Lord, tell the truth—I say what's right.
No hablé en escondido, en lugar de tierra de tinieblas: no dije a la generación de Jacob: En vano me buscáis. Yo Jehová que hablo justicia, que anuncio rectitud.
20 Gather yourselves together, and come, come close, you refugees of the nations. Aren't they stupid, these people who carry around their wooden idols, and who pray to a god that can't save them?
Congregáos y veníd, allegáos todos los escapados de las naciones: no saben los que levantan el madero de su escultura, y los que ruegan al dios que no salva.
21 Discuss this together, and then speak up, present your case. Who predicted this long ago? Who said what would happen in the future back in the past? Wasn't that me, the Lord? There is no other God except me, no other God who does what is right, and who saves. There is no God apart from me.
Publicád, y hacéd llegar, y entren todos en consulta: ¿Quién hizo oír esto desde el principio, y desde entonces lo tiene dicho, si no yo Jehová? y no hay más Dios que yo: Dios justo y salvador, no mas de yo.
22 Everyone on earth, come to me and be saved, for I am God and there is no God apart from me.
Mirád a mí, y sed salvos todos los términos de la tierra; porque yo soy Dios, y no hay más.
23 I have sworn by my own self, I have spoken what is right, and I won't ever go back on it. Everyone shall bow before me; everyone shall acknowledge me.
Por mí hice juramento: de mi boca salió palabra en justicia, la cual no se tornará: Que a mí se doblará toda rodilla, y jurará toda lengua.
24 They will say about me, “Salvation and strength can only be found in the Lord.” Everyone who has fought against him will come to him and will be ashamed.
Y a mí dirá: Cierto en Jehová está la justicia y la fuerza, hasta él vendrá; y todos los que se enojan contra él serán avergonzados.
25 But in the Lord all the descendants of Israel will be made right, and they will glory in him.
En Jehová serán justificados, y se gloriarán toda la generación de Israel.
