Isaiah 43
1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name, thou art Mine.
Y AHORA, así dice Jehová Criador tuyo, oh Jacob, y Formador tuyo, oh Israel: No temas, porque yo te redimí; te puse nombre, mío eres tú.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Cuando pasares por las aguas, yo seré contigo; y por los ríos, no te anegarán. Cuando pasares por el fuego, no te quemarás, ni la llama arderá en ti.
3 For I am the LORD thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Porque yo Jehová Dios tuyo, el Santo de Israel, [soy] tu Salvador: á Egipto he dado por tu rescate, á Etiopía y á Seba por ti.
4 Since thou art precious in My sight, and honourable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee, and peoples for thy life.
Porque en mis ojos fuiste de grande estima, fuiste honorable, y yo te amé: daré pues hombres por ti, y naciones por tu alma.
5 Fear not, for I am with thee; I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
No temas, porque yo soy contigo; del oriente traeré tu generación, y del occidente te recogeré.
6 I will say to the north: 'Give up,' and to the south: 'Keep not back, bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the end of the earth;
Diré al aquilón: Da acá; y al mediodía: No detengas: trae de lejos mis hijos, y mis hijas de los términos de la tierra,
7 Every one that is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.'
Todos los llamados de mi nombre; para gloria mía los críe, los formé y los hice.
8 The blind people that have eyes shall be brought forth, and the deaf that have ears.
Sacad al pueblo ciego que tiene ojos, y á los sordos que tienen oídos.
9 All the nations are gathered together, and the peoples are assembled; who among them can declare this, and announce to us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; and let them hear, and say: 'It is truth.'
Congréguense á una todas las gentes, y júntense todos los pueblos: ¿quién de ellos hay que nos dé nuevas de esto, y que nos haga oir las cosas primeras? Presenten sus testigos, y justifíquense; oigan, y digan: Verdad.
10 Ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He; before Me there was no God formed, neither shall any be after Me.
Vosotros sois mis testigos, dice Jehová, y mi siervo que yo escogí; para que me conozcáis y creáis, y entendáis que yo mismo soy; antes de mí no fué formado Dios, ni lo será después de mí.
11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour.
Yo, yo Jehová; y fuera de mí no hay quien salve.
12 I have declared, and I have saved, and I have announced, and there was no strange god among you; therefore ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and I am God.
Yo anuncié, y salvé, é hice oir, y no hubo entre vosotros extraño. Vosotros pues sois mis testigos, dice Jehová, que yo soy Dios.
13 Yea, since the day was I am He, and there is none that can deliver out of My hand; I will work, and who can reverse it?
Aun antes que hubiera día, yo era; y no hay quien de mi mano libre: si yo hiciere, ¿quién lo estorbará?
14 Thus saith the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their shouting.
Así dice Jehová, Redentor vuestro, el Santo de Israel: Por vosotros envié á Babilonia, é hice descender fugitivos todos ellos, y clamor de Caldeos en las naves.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
Yo Jehová, Santo vuestro, Criador de Israel, vuestro Rey.
16 Thus saith the LORD, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
Así dice Jehová, el que da camino en la mar, y senda en las aguas impetuosas;
17 Who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power — they lie down together, they shall not rise, they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick:
El que saca carro y caballo, ejército y fuerza; caen juntamente para no levantarse; quedan extinguidos, como pábilo quedan apagados.
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
No os acordéis de las cosas pasadas, ni traigáis á memoria las cosas antiguas.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
He aquí que yo hago cosa nueva: presto saldrá á luz: ¿no la sabréis? Otra vez pondré camino en el desierto, y ríos en la soledad.
20 The beasts of the field shall honour Me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, Mine elect;
La bestia del campo me honrará, los chacales, y los pollos del avestruz: porque daré aguas en el desierto, ríos en la soledad, para que beba mi pueblo, mi escogido.
21 The people which I formed for Myself, that they might tell of My praise.
Este pueblo crié para mí; mis alabanzas publicará.
22 Yet thou hast not called upon Me, O Jacob, neither hast thou wearied thyself about Me, O Israel.
Y no me invocaste á mí, oh Jacob; antes, de mí te cansaste, oh Israel.
23 Thou hast not brought Me the small cattle of thy burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honoured Me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with a meal-offering, nor wearied thee with frankincense.
No me trajiste á mí los animales de tus holocaustos, ni á mí me honraste con tus sacrificios: no te hice servir con presente, ni te hice fatigar con perfume.
24 Thou hast bought Me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou satisfied Me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened Me with thy sins, thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities.
No compraste para mí caña [aromática] por dinero, ni me saciaste con la grosura de tus sacrificios; antes me hiciste servir en tus pecados, me has fatigado con tus maldades.
25 I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake; and thy sins I will not remember.
Yo, yo soy el que borro tus rebeliones por amor de mí; y no me acordaré de tus pecados.
26 Put Me in remembrance, let us plead together; declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
Hazme acordar, entremos en juicio juntamente; relata tú para abonarte.
27 Thy first father sinned, and thine intercessors have transgressed against Me.
Tu primer padre pecó, y tus enseñadores prevaricaron contra mí.
28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and I have given Jacob to condemnation, and Israel to reviling.
Por tanto, yo profané los príncipes del santuario, y puse por anatema á Jacob, y por oprobio á Israel.
