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.
Y ahora, así dice el SEÑOR Creador tuyo, oh Jacob, y Formador tuyo, oh Israel: No temas, porque yo te redimí; yo te puse 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 pasares por las aguas, yo seré contigo; y en los ríos, no te anegarán. Cuando pasares 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 soy el SEÑOR, Dios tuyo, el Santo de Israel, guardador tuyo. A Egipto he dado por tu rescate, a Etiopía y a Seba por 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 en mis ojos fuiste de gran estima, fuiste digno de honra, y yo te amé.
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 soy contigo; del oriente traeré tu generación, 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 aquilón: Da acá, y al mediodía: No detengas. Trae de lejos mis hijos, y mis hijas de los términos 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.
Todos los llamados de mi nombre; y para gloria mía los críe; los formé y los hice:
8 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.
Sacad al pueblo ciego que tiene ojos, y a 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 a una todos los gentiles, y júntense todos los pueblos. ¿Quién de ellos hay, que nos dé nuevas de esto, y que nos haga oír las cosas primeras? Presenten sus testigos, y serán sentenciados por justos; oigan, y digan: 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.
Vosotros sois mis testigos, dice el SEÑOR, y mi siervo que yo escogí, para que me conozcáis y creáis, y entendáis, que yo mismo soy; antes de mí no fue formado Dios, ni lo será después de mí.
11 I [am] YHWH, And besides Me there is no savior.
Yo, yo soy el SEÑOR; 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 anuncié, y salvé, e hice oír, y no hubo entre vosotros extraño. Vosotros pues sois mis testigos, dice el SEÑOR, que yo soy Dios.
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 era; y no hay quien de mi mano escape; si yo hiciere, ¿quién lo estorbará?
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.
Así dice el SEÑOR, Redentor vuestro, el Santo de Israel: Por vosotros envié a Babilonia, e hice descender fugitivos a todos ellos; y clamor de caldeos en las naves.
15 I [am] YHWH, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.”
Yo soy el SEÑOR, Santo vuestro, Criador de Israel, vuestro Rey.
16 Thus said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong waters.
Así dice el SEÑOR, el que da camino en el mar, y senda 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.”
cuando él saca, carro, y caballo, ejército, y fuerza caen juntamente, para no levantarse; quedan apagados, como pábilo quedan apagados.
18 Do not remember former things, And do not consider ancient things.
No os acordéis de las cosas pasadas, ni traigáis a 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.
He aquí que yo hago cosa nueva; presto saldrá a luz; ¿no la conoceréis? Otra vez pondré camino en el desierto, y ríos en la soledad.
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.
La bestia del campo me honrará, los dragones, y los pollos del avestruz; porque daré aguas en el desierto, ríos en la soledad, para que beba mi pueblo, mi escogido.
21 I have formed this people for Myself, They recount My praise.
Este pueblo crié para mí; mis alabanzas contará.
22 And you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied of Me, O Israel,
Y no me invocaste a mí, oh Jacob, antes de mí te cansaste, 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 a mí los animales de tus holocaustos, ni a mí me honraste con tus sacrificios; no te hice servir con presente, ni te hice fatigar con perfume.
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 compraste para mí caña aromática por dinero, ni me saciaste con la grosura de tus sacrificios; antes me hiciste servir en tus pecados, y en tus maldades me hiciste fatigar.
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 arraigo tus rebeliones por amor de mí; y no me acordaré de tus pecados.
26 Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you may be justified.
Hazme acordar, entremos en juicio juntamente; cuenta tú para abonarte.
27 Your first father sinned, And your interpreters transgressed against Me,
Tu primer padre pecó, y tus enseñadores prevaricaron contra mí.
28 And I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
Por tanto, yo profané los príncipes del Santuario, y puse por anatema a Jacob, y a Israel por vergüenza.
