Isaías 43

1 Y ahora, así dice Jehová, Creador tuyo, o! Jacob, y formador tuyo, o! Israel: No temas, porque yo te redimí: yo te puse nombre, mío eres tú.

But now thus says the LORD that created you, O Jacob, and he that formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are mine.

2 Cuando pasares por las aguas, yo seré contigo; y en los ríos, no te anegarán. Cuando pasares por el mismo fuego, no te quemarás, ni la llama arderá en ti.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you.

3 Porque yo Jehová Dios tuyo, Santo de Israel, Guardador tuyo: A Egipto he dado por tu rescate; a Etiopía, y a Sabá por ti.

For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour: I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.

4 Porque en mis ojos fuiste de grande estima: fuiste honorable, y yo te amé; y daré hombres por ti, y naciones por tu alma.

Since you were precious in my sight, you have been honourable, and I have loved you: therefore will I give men for you, and people for your life.

5 No temas, porque yo soy contigo: del oriente traeré tu generación, y del occidente te recogeré.

Fear not: for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west;

6 Diré al aquilón: Da acá; y al mediodía: No detengas: trae de luengas tierras mis hijos, y mis hijas de lo postrero de la tierra:

I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

7 Todos llamados de mi nombre; y para gloria mía los crié, los formé, y los hice:

Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

8 Sacando al pueblo ciego, que tiene ojos; y a los sordos, que tienen oídos.

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

9 Congréguense juntamente todas las naciones, y júntense pueblos: ¿Quién de ellos hay que nos dé nuevas de esto, y que nos haga oír las cosas primeras? Presenten sus testigos, y serán sentenciados por justos: oigan, y digan verdad.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

10 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 fue formado Dios, ni lo será después de mí.

All of you are my witnesses, says the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that all of you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 Yo, yo Jehová; y fuera de mí no hay quien salve.

I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

12 Yo anuncié, y salvé, e hice oír, y no hubo entre vosotros dios extraño. Vosotros pues sois mis testigos, dice Jehová, que yo soy Dios.

I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore all of you are my witnesses, says the LORD, that I am God.

13 Aun antes que hubiera día, yo era; y no hay quien de mi mano escape: si yo hiciere, ¿quién lo estorbará?

Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

14 Así dice Jehová, Redentor vuestro, Santo de Israel: Por vosotros envié a Babilonia, e hice descender fugitivos todos ellos, y clamor de Caldeos en las naves.

Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.

15 Yo Jehová, Santo vuestro, Creador de Israel, Rey vuestro.

I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

16 Así dice Jehová, el que da camino en la mar, y senda en las aguas impetuosas.

Thus says the LORD, which makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

17 Cuando él saca carro, y caballo, ejército y fuerza caen juntamente, para no levantarse: quedan apagados, como pábilo quedan apagados.

Which brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.

18 No os acordéis de las cosas pasadas, ni traigáis a memoria las cosas antiguas.

Remember all of you not the former things, neither consider the things of old.

19 He aquí que yo hago cosa nueva: presto saldrá a luz: ¿No la sabréis? Otra vez, pondré camino en el desierto, y ríos en la soledad.

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall all of you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

20 La bestia del campo me honrará, los dragones, y los pollos del avestruz; porque daré aguas en el desierto, ríos en la soledad, para que beba mi pueblo, mi escogido.

The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

21 Este pueblo crié para mí, mis alabanzas contará.

This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.

22 Y no me invocaste a mí, o! Jacob: antes en mí te cansaste, o! Israel.

But you have not called upon me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.

23 No me trajiste a mí los animales de tus holocaustos, ni me honraste a mí con tus sacrificios; no te hice servir con presente, ni te hice fatigar con perfume.

You have not brought me the small cattle of your burnt offerings; neither have you honoured me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense.

24 No compraste para mí caña aromática por dinero, ni me hartaste con la grosura de tus sacrificios: antes me hiciste servir en tus pecados, y en tus maldades me hiciste fatigar.

You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you have made me to serve with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities.

25 Yo, yo soy el que raigo tus rebeliones por amor de mí; y no me acordaré de tus pecados.

I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember your sins.

26 Házme acordar, entremos en juicio juntamente: cuenta tú para abonarte.

Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare you, that you may be justified.

27 Tu primer padre pecó, y tus enseñadores prevaricaron contra mí.

Your first father has sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.

28 Por tanto yo profané los príncipes del santuario, y puse por anatema a Jacob, y a Israel por vergüenza.

Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
