Isaías 59
1 En verdad la mano de Yavé no se acortó para salvar, ni su oído se endureció para no escuchar.
Behold the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is his ear heavy that it cannot hear.
2 Pero las iniquidades de ustedes los separaron de su ʼElohim y sus pecados ocultaron su rostro de ustedes para no escuchar.
But your iniquities have divided between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you that he should not hear.
3 Porque sus manos están contaminadas de sangre, y sus dedos, con iniquidad. Sus labios dicen mentira, su lengua murmura perversidad.
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue uttereth iniquity.
4 No hay quien clame por justicia. No hay quien discuta con fidelidad. Se apoyan en palabras vanas y dicen falsedad. Conciben perversidad y dan a luz iniquidad.
There is none that calleth upon justice, neither is there any one that judgeth truly: but they trust in a mere nothing, and speak vanities: they have conceived labour, and brought forth iniquity.
5 Incuban huevos de víboras y tejen tela de araña. El que come de sus huevos muere y del que es aplastado sale una víbora.
They have broken the eggs of asps, and have woven the webs of spiders: he that shall eat of their eggs, shall die: and that which is brought out, shall be hatched into a basilisk.
6 Sus telarañas no sirven para ropa. Son tejidos que no cubren. Sus obras son de iniquidad y un hecho de violencia está en sus manos.
Their webs shall not be for clothing, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are unprofitable works, and the work of iniquity is in their hands.
7 Sus pies corren hacia el mal. Se apresuran a derramar sangre inocente. Sus pensamientos son de iniquidad. Desolación y destrucción hay en sus caminos.
Their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are unprofitable thoughts: wasting and destruction are in their ways.
8 No conocen camino de paz, ni hay justicia en sus senderos. Sus caminos son torcidos. Cualquiera que ande por ellos no tendrá paz.
They have not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps: their paths are become crooked to them, every one that treadeth in them, knoweth no peace.
9 Por eso se aleja de nosotros la justicia y la rectitud no nos alcanza. Esperamos luz, pero hay tenebrosidad. [Esperamos] claridad, [pero] andamos en oscuridad.
Therefore is judgment far from us, and justice shall not overtake us. We looked for light, and behold darkness: brightness, and we have walked in the dark.
10 Como ciegos palpamos la pared. Andamos a tientas como si no tuviéramos ojos. Tropezamos tanto al mediodía como cuando llega la noche. Estamos como muertos entre los vigorosos.
We have groped for the wall, and like the blind we have groped as if we had no eyes: we have stumbled at noonday as in darkness, we are in dark places as dead men.
11 Todos nosotros gruñimos como osos, y gemimos con lástima como palomas. Esperamos justicia y no la hay, salvación, y está lejos de nosotros.
We shall roar all of us like bears, and shall lament as mournful doves. We have looked for judgment, and there is none: for salvation, and it is far from us.
12 Porque nuestras transgresiones se multiplicaron delante de Ti. Nuestros pecados testifican contra nosotros, porque nuestras transgresiones permanecen con nosotros. Reconocemos nuestras iniquidades.
For our iniquities are multiplied before thee, and our sins have testified against us: for our wicked doings are with us, and we have known our iniquities:
13 Transgredimos y negamos a Yavé. Volvimos atrás y dejamos de seguir a nuestro ʼElohim. Hablamos de opresión y rebelión. Concebimos y expresamos de corazón palabras de mentira.
In sinning and lying against the Lord: and we have turned away so that we went not after our God, but spoke calumny and transgression: we have conceived, and uttered from the heart, words of falsehood.
14 La justicia es rechazada y la equidad está lejos. Porque la verdad tropezó en la calle y la rectitud no puede entrar.
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth bath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in.
15 La verdad está ausente. El que se aparta del mal se convierte en un despojo. Ahora Yavé vio esto. Es desagradable a Él que no haya justicia.
And truth hath been forgotten: and he that departed from evil, lay open to be a prey: and the Lord saw, and it appeared evil in his eyes, because there is no judgment.
16 Vio que no había alguno y se asombró de que no haya quien se interponga. Lo salvó su brazo y lo afirmó su misma justicia.
And he saw that there is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself: and his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice supported him.
17 Se cubrió con la coraza de justicia y con casco de salvación sobre su cabeza. Se envolvió en ropas de venganza y se cubrió de celo como con un manto.
He put on justice as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head: he put on the garments of vengeance, and was clad with zeal as with a cloak.
18 Él retribuirá ira para sus enemigos según sus obras, recompensa para sus adversarios. Retribuirá por completo a las tierras de las costas.
As unto revenge, as it were to repay wrath to his adversaries, and a reward to his enemies: he will repay the like to the islands.
19 Desde el occidente temerán al Nombre de Yavé, y su gloria desde donde nace el sol, porque vendrá como río encajonado impulsado por el soplo de Yavé.
And they from the west, shall fear the name of the Lord: and they from the rising of the sun, his glory: when he shall come as a violent stream, which the spirit of the Lord driveth on:
20 Vendrá el Redentor a Sion, a los que regresaron de la iniquidad de Jacob, dice Yavé.
And there shall come a, redeemer to Sion, and to them that return from iniquity in Jacob, saith the Lord.
21 Este será mi Pacto con ellos, dice Yavé: Mi Espíritu que derramé sobre ti. Mis Palabras que puse en tu boca no se apartarán jamás de tu boca, ni de la boca de tus descendientes, ni de la boca de los descendientes de ellos desde ahora y para siempre, dice Yavé.
This is my covenant with them, saith the Lord: My spirit that is in thee, and my words that I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
