< Isaiah 43 >

1 But now thus says the LORD that created you, O Jacob, and he that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are 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 you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle on you.
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 your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior: I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.
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 you were precious in my sight, you have been honorable, and I have loved you: therefore will I give men for you, and people for your 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 you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you 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 ends 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 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yes, I have made him.
Todos los llamados de mi nombre; para gloria mía los críe, los formé y los hice.
8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
Sacad al pueblo ciego que tiene ojos, y á los sordos que tienen oídos.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or 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 You are my witnesses, says the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there 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 savior.
Yo, yo Jehová; y fuera de mí no hay quien salve.
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, says the LORD, that 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 Yes, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
Aun antes que hubiera día, yo era; y no hay quien de mi mano libre: si yo hiciere, ¿quién lo estorbará?
14 Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
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 says the LORD, which makes 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 Which brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as wick.
El que saca carro y caballo, ejército y fuerza; caen juntamente para no levantarse; quedan extinguidos, como pábilo quedan apagados.
18 Remember you 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 it shall spring forth; shall you 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 beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
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 This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
Este pueblo crié para mí; mis alabanzas publicará.
22 But you have not called on me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.
Y no me invocaste á mí, oh Jacob; antes, de mí te cansaste, oh Israel.
23 You have not brought me the small cattle of your burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense.
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 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you have made me to serve with your sins, you have wearied me with your 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 blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins.
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 you, that you may be justified.
Hazme acordar, entremos en juicio juntamente; relata tú para abonarte.
27 Your first father has sinned, and your teachers 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 have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
Por tanto, yo profané los príncipes del santuario, y puse por anatema á Jacob, y por oprobio á Israel.
