Isaiah 50
1 This is [also] what Yahweh says: “You [Israeli children], do not think [RHQ] that I [forced your parents to be exiled/taken to Babylonia] [MET] like some men send away their wives after giving them a paper on which they state that they were divorcing them! I certainly did not [RHQ] get rid of you like a man who sells his children to get money to pay what he owes. No, the reason that I forced you to be exiled [was to punish you] because of the sins that you have committed [DOU].
Así dice Yahvé: “¿Dónde está el libelo de repudio de vuestra madre, por el cual la he repudiado? ¿O quién es ese acreedor mío, al cual os he vendido? He aquí que por vuestras maldades fuisteis vendidos, y por vuestros pecados fue repudiada vuestra madre.
2 When I came to you [to rescue you], why did no one answer when I called out to you [RHQ]? Was there no one there [RHQ]? Or, did you think that I do not have the power [MTY] to rescue you [DOU]? Think about this: I can speak to a sea and cause it to become dry! I can cause rivers to become deserts, with the result that the fish in the rivers die from thirst and they rot.
¿Por qué, cuando Yo vine, no hubo nadie, y cuando llamé nadie me contestó? ¿Se ha acortado acaso mi brazo, de suerte que no pueda redimir? ¿O no tengo fuerza para salvar? Mirad, con una amenaza mía seco el mar, y torno los ríos en desierto; se pudren sus peces por falta de agua, y mueren de sed.
3 I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”
Yo visto los cielos de tinieblas, y los cubro con saco.”
4 Yahweh our God has given me his wise message [MTY] in order that I may encourage those who are weary. Each morning he awakens me, in order that I [SYN] may listen to what he teaches [SIM] me.
Yahvé, el Señor, me ha dado lengua de discípulo para que sepa yo sostener con palabras a los abatidos. Mañana tras mañana (me) despierta; me despierta el oído para que escuche como discípulo.
5 Yahweh our God has spoken to me [IDM], and I have not rejected what he told me; I have accepted [LIT] it.
Yahvé, el Señor, me ha abierto el oído; y no fui rebelde, ni me volví atrás.
6 I allowed people to beat me on my back and to pull out the whiskers in my beard [because they hated me]. I did not turn away [MTY] from them when they made fun of me and spat on me.
Entregué mi espalda a los que me herían, y mis mejillas a los que me mesaban la barba; no escondí mi rostro ante los que me escarnecían y escupían.
7 But, because the Lord our God helps me, I will never be humiliated. Therefore, I am strongly determined [IDM] to face/endure difficulties, and I know that nothing will cause me to be ashamed.
Pues Yahvé, el Señor, es mi auxiliador; por eso no he sido confundido; y así he hecho mi rostro como pedernal, y sé que no quedaré avergonzado.
8 God, the one who vindicates me, is near to me; so if anyone [RHQ] stands in front of me and accuses me in a court, he will not be able [to show that I have done anything that is wrong].
Cerca está el que me justifica. ¿Quién quiere contender conmigo? ¡Presentémonos juntos! ¿Quién es mi adversario? ¡Comparezca ante mí!
9 The Lord our God defends me [in court], so no one [RHQ] will be able to (condemn me/declare that I am guilty). All those who accuse me will disappear like [SIM] old clothes that have been eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches).
He aquí que Yahvé es mi auxiliador. ¿Quién podrá condenarme? He aquí que todos ellos serán consumidos como un vestido; la polilla los devorará.
10 If you revere Yahweh and do what his servant tells you to do, even if you are (walking in darkness/enduring suffering), and it seems that [MET] there is no light, trust in Yahweh your God [DOU] [to help you].
Quien de vosotros es temeroso de Yahvé, oiga la voz de su siervo. Quien anda en tinieblas y no tiene luz, ¡confíe en el nombre de Yahvé, y apóyese en su Dios!
11 But you people who [oppose me], [who would like to throw] me into a blazing fire, walk in your own fires and burn yourselves with your own torches! This is what Yahweh will cause to happen to you: You will be enduring great torment when you die [EUP]!
Mas todos vosotros prendéis el fuego, y os armáis de saetas incendiarias. ¡Andad a la lumbre de vuestro fuego, y en medio de las saetas incendiarias que habéis encendido! De mi mano os vendrá esto: yaceréis entre dolores.
