Isaías 50
1 Yavé dice: ¿Dónde está la carta de divorcio con la cual repudié a su madre? ¿O, a cuál de mis acreedores la vendí? Ciertamente, por sus iniquidades fueron vendidos. Su madre fue repudiada por sus transgresiones.
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].
2 ¿Por qué cuando Yo vengo no hay alguien y cuando llamo nadie responde? ¿Se acortó mi mano para redimir? ¿No tengo ya fuerza para salvar? En verdad, por mi reprensión se seca el mar. Convierto los ríos en desierto. Sus peces mueren de sed y hieden por la falta de agua.
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.
3 Yo cubro el cielo de oscuridad. Lo cubro de luto.
I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”
4 ʼAdonay Yavé me dio la lengua de los entendidos para que yo sepa hablar una palabra adecuada al cansado. Cada mañana me despierta. Cada mañana despierta mi oído para que escuche como el entendido.
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.
5 ʼAdonay Yavé me abrió el oído. No fui rebelde ni me volví atrás.
Yahweh our God has spoken to me [IDM], and I have not rejected what he told me; I have accepted [LIT] it.
6 Ofrecí mi espalda a los que me azotaban y mis mejillas a los que me arrancaban la barba. No aparté mi rostro de ofensas y escupitajos,
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.
7 porque ʼAdonay Yavé me ayuda. Por tanto, no me avergoncé. Por eso presenté mi rostro como un pedernal y sé que no seré avergonzado.
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.
8 Cerca de mí está el que me justifica. ¿Quién contenderá conmigo? Comparezcamos juntos. ¿Quién es el adversario de mi causa? Que se acerque a mí.
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].
9 Ciertamente ʼAdonay Yavé me ayudará. ¿Quién me condenará? En verdad todos ellos envejecerán como una ropa. La polilla los comerá.
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).
10 ¿Quién de ustedes teme a Yavé y escucha la voz de su esclavo? El que ande en oscuridad y carezca de luz confíe en el Nombre de Yavé y apóyese en su ʼElohim.
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].
11 En verdad todos ustedes encienden fuego y se rodean de antorchas. Anden a la luz de su fuego. Les vendrá esto de las antorchas que encendieron de mi mano: Estarán tendidos en tormento.
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]!
