Isaías 42
1 He aquí mi siervo, reclinarme he sobre él: escogido mío en quien mi alma toma contentamiento: puse mi Espíritu sobre él, dará juicio a las naciones.
"Look, my servant I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.
2 No clamará, ni alzará, ni hará oír su voz en las plazas.
He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 No quebrará la caña cascada, ni apagará el pábilo que humeare: sacará el juicio a la verdad.
He won't break a bruised reed. And he won't extinguish a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
4 No se cansará, ni desmayará, hasta que ponga en la tierra juicio; y las islas esperarán su ley.
He will not grow dim or be crushed, until he has established justice on the earth, and in his name the coastlands will hope."
5 Así dice el Dios Jehová, Creador de los cielos, y el que los extiende: el que extiende la tierra y sus verduras: el que da resuello al pueblo que mora sobre ella, y espíritu a los que por ella andan:
Thus says God, the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it.
6 Yo Jehová te llamé en justicia, y por tu mano te tendré: guardarte he, y ponerte he por alianza de pueblo, por luz de naciones:
"I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations;
7 Para que abras ojos de ciegos; para que saques presos de mazmorras, y de casas de prisión a asentados en tinieblas.
to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
8 Yo Jehová: este es mi nombre; y a otro no daré mi gloria, ni mi alabanza a esculturas.
"I am the LORD. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
9 Las cosas primeras, he aquí, vinieron: y yo anuncio nuevas cosas: antes que salgan a luz, yo os las haré notorias.
Look, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up."
10 Cantád a Jehová cantar nuevo, su alabanza desde el fin de la tierra, los que descendéis a la mar, y lo que la hinche: islas, y los moradores de ellas.
Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the remotest parts of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 Alcen la voz el desierto y sus ciudades, las aldeas donde habita Cedar: canten los moradores de la piedra, y desde las cumbres de los montes jubilen.
Let the desert and its cities cry out, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Den gloria a Jehová, y prediquen sus loores en las islas.
Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
13 Jehová saldrá como gigante, y como hombre de guerra despertará zelo: gritará, hará algazara, y esforzarse ha sobre sus enemigos.
The LORD will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
14 Desde el siglo he callado, he tenido silencio, y heme detenido: daré voces como la que está de parto: asolaré y tragaré juntamente.
"I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
15 Tornaré en soledad montes y collados: haré secar toda su yerba: los ríos tornaré en islas, y secaré los estanques.
I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
16 Y guiaré los ciegos por camino que nunca supieron: hacerles he pisar por las sendas que nunca conocieron: delante de ellos tornaré las tinieblas en luz, y los rodeos en llanura. Estas cosas les haré, y no los desampararé.
I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
17 Serán tornados atrás, y serán avergonzados de vergüenza, los que confían en la escultura, y dicen al vaciadizo: Vosotros sois nuestros dioses.
"Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, 'You are our gods' will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
18 O! sordos, oíd; y ciegos, mirád para ver.
"Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
19 ¿Quién ciego, si no mi siervo? ¿Quién tan sordo como mi mensajero, a quien envío? ¿Quién ciego como el perfecto, y ciego como el siervo de Jehová,
Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as the LORD's servant?
20 Que ve muchas cosas, y no advierte: que abre las orejas, y no para oír?
You see many things, but do not observe. His ears are open, but he doesn't listen.
21 Jehová, zeloso por su justicia, magnificará la ley, y engrandecerla ha.
It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
22 Por tanto este pueblo saqueado, y hollado: todos ellos han de ser enlazados en cavernas, y escondidos en cárceles: serán puestos a saco, y no habrá quien los libre: serán hollados, y no habrá quien diga: Restituíd.
But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become a prey, and no one delivers; and a spoil, and no one says, 'Restore them.'
23 ¿Quién de vosotros oirá esto, advertirá, y considerará al fin?
Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
24 ¿Quién dio a Jacob en presa, y entregó a Israel a saqueadores? ¿No fue Jehová? porque pecamos contra él, y no quisieron andar en sus caminos, ni oyeron su ley.
Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
25 Por tanto derramó sobre él el furor de su ira, y fortaleza de guerra: púsole fuego de todas partes, y no lo conoció: y encendió en él, y no echó de ver.
Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire all around, but he did not know; and it burned him, but he did not take it to heart."
