Isaiah 57
1 Good people die, and nobody cares; the faithful pass away, and nobody thinks that they were being protected from evil.
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 Those who follow what's right rest in peace; they find rest as they lie down in death.
Vendrá la paz, descansarán sobre sus camas todos los que andan delante de él.
3 But as for you, children of fortune-tellers, the product of adultery and prostitution—come here!
Y vosotros, llegaos acá, hijos de la agorera; generación del adúltero y de la fornicaria.
4 Who are you making fun of when you make sneering faces and stick out your tongues? Aren't you the children of sin and lies?
¿De quién os habéis burlado? ¿Contra quién ensanchasteis la boca, y alargasteis la lengua? ¿No sois vosotros hijos rebeldes, simiente mentirosa,
5 You're the ones having pagan orgies under the oak trees, under every green tree. You sacrifice your children in the valleys and among the rocky peaks.
que os enfervorizáis con los ídolos debajo de todo árbol umbroso, que sacrificáis los hijos en los valles, debajo de los peñascos?
6 You have chosen to worship the smooth stones from the streams of the valleys—that's the choice you've made! You have poured out drink offerings to these idols—you have presented them with grain offerings. Should that make me happy?
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 You have committed adultery by idol worship on every high mountain; you went there to offer pagan sacrifices.
Sobre el monte alto y empinado pusiste tu cama; allí también subiste a hacer sacrificio.
8 You've placed your pagan signs behind your doors and on your doorposts. Deserting me, you took off your clothes and climbed into bed, committing yourselves to those you love to be in bed with. You've seen them naked.
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 You went to offer Molech olive oil, covering yourself with many perfumes. You sent your messengers to distant places; you even went down into the world of the dead. (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 wore yourselves out by such running around, but you didn't give up and say, “It's hopeless!” You found new strength and so didn't become weak.
En la multitud de tus caminos te cansaste; mas no dijiste: No hay remedio; hallaste lo que buscabas, por tanto no te arrepentiste.
11 Who were you scared of, who frightened you so much that you lied to me, didn't remember me, didn't even think about me? Is it because I've been quiet for so long that you don't even fear 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'm going to let everyone know about how you're so good and the things you do—but they won't help you!
Yo publicaré tu justicia y tus obras, que no te aprovecharán.
13 When you cry out for help, let's see if your collection of idols will save you! The wind will blow them all away, just a breath and they're gone! But whoever comes to me for help will own the land and 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 He will say, Build a highway, remove anything that's in the way of my people.
Y dirá: Allanad, allanad; barred el camino; quitad los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo.
15 This is what the one who is high above all says, he who lives in eternity, whose name is holy: I live in a high and holy place, together with those who repent and who act humbly, restoring their spirits and encouraging them.
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 I won't fight with you forever; I won't be angry with you forever. Otherwise you'd lose heart, the very people I gave life to.
Porque no contenderé para siempre, ni para siempre enojaré; porque el espíritu por mi vistió el cuerpo, y yo hice las almas.
17 Yes, I was angry with these sinful, greedy people so I punished them. I was angry, so I hid myself from them, but they went on their own rebellious way, doing whatever they wanted.
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 know what they're doing, but I will heal them. I will lead them and comfort those who mourn,
Miré sus caminos, y le sanaré, y le pastorearé, y le daré consolaciones, a él y a sus enlutados.
19 so they will able to say thankyou. The Lord declares, Peace, peace, to those who are far away and those who are near. I will heal you.
Crío fruto de labios, paz; paz al lejano y al cercano, dijo el SEÑOR, y le sanó.
20 But the wicked are like the sea that is tossed about, never keeping still, churning up the mud and muck with its waves.
Mas los impíos, son como el mar en tempestad, que no puede reposar; y sus aguas arrojan cieno y lodo.
21 There's no peace for the wicked, says my God.
No hay paz, dijo mi Dios, para los impíos.
