Isaías 45
1 Así dice Jehová a su Mesías Ciro, al cual yo tomé por su mano derecha, para sujetar naciones delante de él, y desatar lomos de reyes: para abrir delante de él puertas; y puertas no se cerrarán.
Cyrus is the one whom Yahweh has appointed [to be the emperor of Persia] and to whom he will give great power [IDM]; Yahweh will enable him to defeat other nations and to take away the power of their kings. He will cause gates of cities to be opened, and no one will ever be able to shut them.
2 Yo iré delante de ti, y los rodeos enderezaré: quebrantaré puertas de metal; y cerrojos de hierro haré pedazos.
This is what Yahweh says to him: “Cyrus, I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will smash down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
3 Y darte he los tesoros escondidos, y los secretos muy guardados: para que sepas que yo soy Jehová, que te pongo nombre, el Dios de Israel.
I will give you treasures [that people have hidden] in dark secret places [DOU]. I will do that in order that you will know that I am Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belong, the God who calls you by your name.
4 Por mi siervo Jacob, y por Israel mi escogido te llamé por tu nombre: púsete tu sobrenombre, aunque no me conociste.
I have summoned you, calling out your name, for the sake of [the people of] Israel [DOU] whom I have chosen, who serve me. Even though you do not know me, I will give you a title which has great honor.
5 Yo Jehová y ninguno más de yo: no hay Dios más de yo. Yo te ceñiré, aunque tú no me conociste:
I am Yahweh, and there is no other God [DOU]. Even though you do not know me, I will give you power
6 Para que se sepa desde el nacimiento del sol, y desde donde se pone, que no hay más de yo. Yo Jehová, y ninguno más de yo:
in order that everyone in the world, from the east to the west, will know that there is no other [God]. I am Yahweh, and there is no other [God].
7 Que formo la luz, y que crío las tinieblas: que hago la paz, y que crío el mal: Yo Jehová, que hago todo esto.
I created the light and the darkness. I cause there to be peace and I cause there to be disasters. I, Yahweh, do all those things.”
8 Rociád, cielos, de arriba, y las nubes goteen la justicia: ábrase la tierra, y frutifíquense la salud y la justicia: háganse producir juntamente. Yo Jehová lo crié.
[And Yahweh also says, “I want my] rescue [of my people] [MET] to fall from the sky like rain. Just like the earth opens wide to accept rain, I will rescue/save my people and cause them to be treated justly. I, Yahweh, am the one who will cause both of those things to happen.
9 ¡Ay de él que pleitéa con su Hacedor! El tiesto contra los tiestos de la tierra. ¿Dirá el barro al que lo labra: Qué haces? ¿y tu obra no tiene manos?
Terrible things will happen to those who argue with me, the one who created them. [They are like] [MET] a clay pot and [I am like] the one who made it; so they certainly cannot [RHQ] criticize me. A lump of clay certainly cannot [RHQ] argue with the one who shapes it [to form a pot], saying, ‘Why are you making me like this?’ The pot cannot say ‘[You have no skill, because] what you made has no handles!’
10 Ay! de el que dice al padre: ¿Por qué engendraste? y a la mujer: ¿Por qué pariste?
And it would be terrible if an unborn baby would say to its father, ‘Why are you [RHQ] causing me to be born?’ or if it said to its mother, ‘The result of your labor pains will be useless?’”
11 Así dice Jehová el Santo de Israel, y su formador: Preguntádme de las cosas por venir: mandádme acerca de mis hijos, y a cerca de la obra de mis manos.
Yahweh, the Holy One of the Israeli people, the one who created Israel, says this to them: “(Why do you ask questions about [what I do for you], my children?/You should not ask questions about [what I do for you], my children.) [RHQ] (Why do you tell me about the work that I should do?/You should not tell me about the work that I should do.) [RHQ]
12 Yo hice la tierra, y yo crié sobre ella el hombre. Yo, mis manos extendieron los cielos, y a todo su ejército mandé.
I am the one who created the earth and created people to live on it. I stretched out the sky with my hands, and I put the stars in their places.
13 Yo le desperté en justicia, y todos sus caminos enderezaré: él edificará mi ciudad, y soltará mis cautivos, no por precio, ni por dones, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
And I will appoint Cyrus to do things that are right/just, and I will enable him to do all those things easily [MET]. His [workers] will rebuild my city, and he will free my people who have been (exiled/forced to leave their country). And he will do it without my rewarding/paying him! [Those things will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.
14 Así dijo Jehová: El trabajo de Egipto, las mercaderías de Etiopía, y los altos de Sabá se pasarán a ti, y serán tuyos: tras ti irán, pasarán con grillos: a ti harán reverencia, y a ti suplicarán. Cierto en ti está Dios; y no hay otro fuera de Dios.
And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say [to you, my people]: ‘You will rule the people of Egypt and Ethiopia, and the tall people of Seba [in Arabia] will become your slaves. They will come to you bringing all the things that they sell, and it will all be yours. [As prisoners], they will have chains on their arms as they follow you. They will prostrate themselves in front of you and say, “God is with/helping you and he is the only God; there is no other God.” '”
15 Verdaderamente tú eres Dios que te encubres, Dios de Israel, que salvas.
God, although we cannot see you, you are the one to whom [we] Israeli people belong, the one who saves us.
16 Avergonzarse han, y todos ellos se afrentarán: irán con vergüenza todos los fabricadores de imágenes.
All those who make idols will be humiliated. They will all be disgraced together.
17 Israel es salvo en Jehová, salud eterna: no os avergonzaréis, ni os afrentaréis por todos los siglos.
But you, Yahweh, will rescue [us, your] Israeli people, and we will be free forever. Never again will we again be humiliated and disgraced.
18 Porque así dijo Jehová, que cria los cielos, él mismo, el Dios que forma la tierra, el que la hizo, y la compuso: No la creó para nada, para que fuese habitada la creó: Yo Jehová, y ninguno más de yo.
Yahweh is God; he is the one who created the sky and created and formed the earth. He did not want it to remain with nothing living on it; he wanted people to live on it. [He says], “I am Yahweh; there is no other [God].
19 No hablé en escondido, en lugar de tierra de tinieblas: no dije a la generación de Jacob: En vano me buscáis. Yo Jehová que hablo justicia, que anuncio rectitud.
[What I proclaimed], I did not speak secretly or [hide what I was saying by speaking] in a dark place. When I spoke to the descendants of Jacob, I did not tell them ‘It will be useless for you to (seek for/pray to) me!’ I, Yahweh, speak [only] what is true and what is right.
20 Congregáos y veníd, allegáos todos los escapados de las naciones: no saben los que levantan el madero de su escultura, y los que ruegan al dios que no salva.
You people who are still alive after experiencing great disasters, should come and gather together [and listen to this]: The people who carry around their wooden idols and pray to them are foolish, because those idols cannot rescue them!
21 Publicád, y hacéd llegar, y entren todos en consulta: ¿Quién hizo oír esto desde el principio, y desde entonces lo tiene dicho, si no yo Jehová? y no hay más Dios que yo: Dios justo y salvador, no mas de yo.
Talk among yourselves, and decide what you will say to prove that [your praying to idols is good]. [And when you do that, I will ask you], ‘Who predicted long ago [what has now happened]? Did any idol tell you [that those things would happen] [RHQ]?’ No, it was [RHQ] only I, Yahweh, who told you, because I am the only God; there is no other God. I am a God who acts righteously and saves people; there is no other one [who does these things].
22 Mirád a mí, y sed salvos todos los términos de la tierra; porque yo soy Dios, y no hay más.
Everyone in the world should ask me to save them, because I am the only God who can do that; there is no other one.
23 Por mí hice juramento: de mi boca salió palabra en justicia, la cual no se tornará: Que a mí se doblará toda rodilla, y jurará toda lengua.
I have solemnly declared, using my own name; I [SYN] have spoken what is true, and I will never change what I have said: [Some day], everyone [SYN] will bow in front of me, and they will all solemnly promise to be loyal to me.
24 Y a mí dirá: Cierto en Jehová está la justicia y la fuerza, hasta él vendrá; y todos los que se enojan contra él serán avergonzados.
They will declare, ‘Yahweh is the one who enables us to live righteously and to be strong.’” And all those who have been angry at him will come to him, and they will be ashamed [for having been angry with him].
25 En Jehová serán justificados, y se gloriarán toda la generación de Israel.
Yahweh is the only one who will enable [us] Israeli people in the future to defeat our enemies, [and then] we will boast about what he [has done for us].
