Isaiah 43
1 And now, thus said YHWH, Your Creator, O Jacob, and your Fashioner, O Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you, I have called on your name—you [are] Mine.
Pero ahora, oh Jacob, Yavé, el que te creó, El que te formó, oh Israel, dice: No temas, porque Yo te redimí. Te di nombre. Mío eres tú.
2 When you pass into waters, I [am] with you, And into floods, they do not overflow you, When you go into fire, you are not burned, And a flame does not burn against you.
Cuando pases por las aguas Yo estaré contigo. La corriente no te anegará. Cuando andes por el fuego no te quemarás, ni la llama arderá en ti.
3 For I—your God YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, I have appointed Egypt your atonement, Cush and Seba in your stead.
Porque Yo, Yavé tu ʼElohim, el Santo de Israel, soy tu Salvador. A Egipto di por tu rescate, a Etiopía y a Seba, a cambio de ti.
4 Since you were precious in My eyes, You were honored, and I have loved you, And I appoint men in your stead, And peoples instead of your life.
Porque eres precioso a mis ojos. Fuiste exaltado porque Yo te amo. Daré hombres por ti y naciones por tu vida.
5 Do not be afraid, for I [am] with you, I bring in your seed from the east, And I gather you from the west.
No temas porque Yo estoy contigo. Del oriente traeré tu descendencia y del occidente te recogeré.
6 I am saying to the north, “Give up,” And to the south, “Do not restrain.” Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.
Diré al norte: ¡Da acá! Y al sur: ¡No retengas! Traigan a mis hijos desde lejos y a mis hijas de los confines de la tierra,
7 Everyone who is called by My Name, Even for My glory I have created him, I have formed him, indeed, I have made him.
a todos los llamados con mi Nombre, a los que para gloria mía los crié, los formé y los hice.
8 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.
Comparezca el pueblo ciego que tiene ojos, los sordos que tienen oídos.
9 All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declares this, And causes us to hear former things? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, “Truth.”
Congréguense las naciones como si fueran una y reúnanse todos los pueblos. ¿Quién de ellos hay que nos anuncie esto, que nos anuncie las cosas primeras? Preséntense testigos para ganar su causa, y que se oiga y se diga: ¡Es verdad!
10 You [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.
Ustedes son mis testigos, dice Yavé, y mi Esclavo que Yo escogí para que me conozcan, me crean y entiendan que Yo Soy. Antes de Mí no fue formado algún ʼEL, ni existirá después de Mí.
11 I [am] YHWH, And besides Me there is no savior.
Yo, Yo soy Yavé, y fuera de Mí no hay quien salve.
12 I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And you [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And I [am] God.
Yo predije y Yo salvé. Yo se lo informé, y no hubo testigo extraño entre ustedes. Por tanto, dice Yavé, ustedes son mis testigos: Yo soy ʼEL.
13 Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who turns it back?
Aun antes que hubiera día, Yo Soy. No hay quien libre de mi mano. Lo que Yo hago, ¿quién puede revertirlo?
14 Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I have sent to Babylon for your sake, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.
Yavé, Redentor de ustedes, el Santo de Israel, dice: Por amor a ustedes envié un mensaje a Babilonia, y los haré bajar a todos como fugitivos, aun a los caldeos, en las naves en las cuales se regocijan.
15 I [am] YHWH, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.”
Yo soy Yavé, su Santo, el Creador de Israel, su Rey.
16 Thus said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong waters.
Yavé, Quien abrió camino en el mar y sendero en las aguas impetuosas,
17 Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: “They lie down together—they do not rise, They have been extinguished, They have been quenched as flax.”
el que saca a batalla el carruaje y el caballo, el ejército y sus valientes, dice: Ellos caerán juntamente y no volverán a levantarse. Son apagados y se extinguen como un pabilo.
18 Do not remember former things, And do not consider ancient things.
No se acuerden de las cosas pasadas, ni traigan a la memoria las cosas antiguas.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs up, Do you not know it? Indeed, I put a way in a wilderness, In a desolate place—floods.
Ciertamente Yo hago algo nuevo. Pronto saldrá a la luz. ¿No la conocerán? Abriré un camino en el desierto, ríos en la región despoblada.
20 The beast of the field honors Me, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given waters in a wilderness, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people—My chosen.
Me darán honra las fieras del campo, los chacales y los avestruces, porque daré aguas en el desierto y ríos en la región despoblada para dar de beber a mi pueblo escogido,
21 I have formed this people for Myself, They recount My praise.
el pueblo que Yo formé para Mí mismo a fin de que proclame mi alabanza.
22 And you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied of Me, O Israel,
Sin embargo, oh Jacob, no me invocaste. Te cansaste de Mí, oh Israel.
23 You have not brought to Me, The lamb of your burnt-offerings, And [with] your sacrifices you have not honored Me, I have not caused you to serve with a present, Nor wearied you with frankincense.
No me trajiste corderos para tus holocaustos, ni me honraste con tus sacrificios. No te obligué a servir con ofrendas, ni te fatigué al pedirte incienso.
24 You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, And have not filled Me [with] the fat of your sacrifices, Only—you have caused Me to serve with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.
No me compraste canela con dinero, ni me saciaste con la sustancia de tus sacrificios, sino pusiste la carga de tus pecados sobre Mí. Me fatigaste con tus iniquidades.
25 I [am] He who is blotting out Your transgressions for My own sake, And I do not remember your sins.
Yo, Yo soy el que borro tus rebeliones por amor a Mí mismo y no me acordaré de tus pecados.
26 Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you may be justified.
Recuérdamelo y entremos juntos a juicio. Habla tú para justificarte.
27 Your first father sinned, And your interpreters transgressed against Me,
Tu primer antepasado pecó. Tus representantes se rebelaron contra Mí.
28 And I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
Por tanto, Yo deshonré a los jefes del Santuario, entregué a Jacob como maldición y a Israel como oprobio.
