Isaías 50
1 Así dijo Jehová: ¿Qué es de esta carta de repudio de vuestra madre, a la cual yo repudié? ¿o quién son mis acreedores, a quien yo os he vendido? He aquí que por vuestras maldades sois vendidos; y por vuestras rebeliones fue repudiada vuestra madre.
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 Porque vine, y nadie pareció: llamé, y nadie respondió. ¿Acortóse mi mano acortándose, para no redimir? ¿No hay en mí poder para librar? He aquí que con mi reprensión hago secar la mar: torno los ríos en desierto, hasta podrirse sus peces, y morirse de sed por 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 Visto los cielos de oscuridad, y torno como saco su cobertura.
I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”
4 El Señor Jehová me dio lengua de sabios, para saber dar en su sazón palabra al cansado: despertará de mañana, de mañana me despertará oído, para que oiga, como los sabios.
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 El Señor Jehová me abrió el oído, y yo no fui rebelde; no me torné atrás.
Yahweh our God has spoken to me [IDM], and I have not rejected what he told me; I have accepted [LIT] it.
6 Di mi cuerpo a los heridores, y mis mejillas a los peladores: no escondí mi rostro de las injurias y escupidura.
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 el Señor Jehová me ayudará, por tanto no me avergoncé: por eso puse 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 Cercano está de mí el que me justifica, ¿quién contenderá conmigo? juntémonos. ¿Quién es el adversario de mi causa? acérquese 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 He aquí que el Señor Jehová me ayudará, ¿quién hay que me condene? He aquí que todos ellos como ropa de vestir se envejecerán: 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 hay entre vosotros que tema a Jehová? Oiga la voz de su siervo. El que anduvo en tinieblas, y el que careció de luz, confíe en el nombre de Jehová, y recuéstese sobre su Dios.
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 He aquí que todos vosotros encendéis fuego, y estáis cercados de centellas. Andád a la lumbre de vuestro fuego; y a las centellas que encendisteis. De mi mano os vino esto: en dolor seréis sepultados.
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]!
