Isaiah 43
1 But now this is what Yahweh says, he who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: “Do not be afraid, 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 will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire you will not be burned, and the flames will not destroy 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 Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange 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 are precious and special in my sight, I love you; therefore I will give people in exchange for you, and other peoples in exchange 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 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring 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, 'Hand them over;' and to the south, 'Do not hold any back;' Bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the remote regions 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, whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.
Todos los llamados de mi nombre; para gloria mía los críe, los formé y los hice.
8 Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, and the deaf, even though they have ears.
Sacad al pueblo ciego que tiene ojos, y á los sordos que tienen oídos.
9 All the nations gather together, and the peoples assemble. Who among them could have declared this and announced to us earlier events? Let them bring their witnesses to prove themselves right, let them listen and affirm, 'It is true.'
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,” declares Yahweh, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe in me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no god formed, and there will be none 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, I am Yahweh, and there is no savior but me.
Yo, yo Jehová; y fuera de mí no hay quien salve.
12 I have declared, saved, and proclaimed, and there is no other god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares Yahweh, “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 From this day on I am he, and no one can rescue anyone from my hand. I act, and who can turn it back?”
Aun antes que hubiera día, yo era; y no hay quien de mi mano libre: si yo hiciere, ¿quién lo estorbará?
14 This is what Yahweh says, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I send to Babylon and lead them all down as fugitives, turning the Babylonians' expressions of joy into songs of lamentation.
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 Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
Yo Jehová, Santo vuestro, Criador de Israel, vuestro Rey.
16 This is what Yahweh says (who opened a way through 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 led out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty host. They fell down together; they will never rise again; they are extinguished, quenched like a burning wick.)
El que saca carro y caballo, ejército y fuerza; caen juntamente para no levantarse; quedan extinguidos, como pábilo quedan apagados.
18 “Do not think about these former things, nor consider the things of long ago.
No os acordéis de las cosas pasadas, ni traigáis á memoria las cosas antiguas.
19 Look, I am about to do a new thing; now it begins to happen; do you not perceive it? I will make a road in the desert and streams of water in the wilderness.
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 wild animals of the field will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give water in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, for my chosen people to drink,
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 whom I formed for myself, that they might recount my praises.
Este pueblo crié para mí; mis alabanzas publicará.
22 But you have not called on me, Jacob; you have become tired of me, Israel.
Y no me invocaste á mí, oh Jacob; antes, de mí te cansaste, oh Israel.
23 You have not brought me any of your sheep as burnt offerings, or honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with grain offerings, nor wearied you with demands for 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-smelling cane with money, neither have you poured out to me the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with your evil deeds.
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, yes, I, am he who blots out your offenses for my own sake; and I will not call to mind your sins any longer.
Yo, yo soy el que borro tus rebeliones por amor de mí; y no me acordaré de tus pecados.
26 Remind me of what happened. Let us debate together; present your cause, that you may be proved innocent.
Hazme acordar, entremos en juicio juntamente; relata tú para abonarte.
27 Your first father sinned, and your leaders have transgressed against me.
Tu primer padre pecó, y tus enseñadores prevaricaron contra mí.
28 Therefore I will defile the holy officials; I will hand Jacob over to complete destruction, and Israel to abusive humiliation.”
Por tanto, yo profané los príncipes del santuario, y puse por anatema á Jacob, y por oprobio á Israel.
