Isaías 43

1 Y AHORA, así dice Jehová Criador tuyo, oh Jacob, y Formador tuyo, oh Israel: No temas, porque yo te redimí; te puse nombre, mío eres tú.

And now thus says the Lord God that made you, O Jacob, and 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 por los ríos, no te anegarán. Cuando pasares por el fuego, no te quemarás, ni la llama arderá en ti.

And if you pass through water, I am with you; and the rivers shall not overflow you: and if you go through fire, you shall not be burnt; the flame shall not burn you.

3 Porque yo Jehová Dios tuyo, el Santo de Israel, [soy] tu Salvador: á Egipto he dado por tu rescate, á Etiopía y á Seba por ti.

For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, that saves you: I have made Egypt and Ethiopia your ransom, and [given] Soene for you.

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

Since you became precious in my sight, you have become glorious, and I have loved you: and I will give men for you, and princes 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 will gather you from the west.

6 Diré al aquilón: Da acá; y al mediodía: No detengas: trae de lejos mis hijos, y mis hijas de los términos de la tierra,

I will say to the north, Bring; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from the [land] afar off, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

7 Todos los llamados de mi nombre; para gloria mía los críe, los formé y los hice.

[even] all who are called by my name: for I have prepared him for my glory, and I have formed him, and have made him:

8 Sacad al pueblo ciego que tiene ojos, y á los sordos que tienen oídos.

and I have brought forth the blind people; for [their] eyes are alike blind, and they that have ears are deaf.

9 Congréguense á una todas las gentes, y júntense todos los pueblos: ¿quién de ellos hay que nos dé nuevas de esto, y que nos haga oir las cosas primeras? Presenten sus testigos, y justifíquense; oigan, y digan: Verdad.

All the nations are gathered together, and princes shall be gathered out of them: who will declare these things? or who will declare to you things from the beginning? let them bring forth their witnesses, and be justified; and let them hear, and declare the 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 fué formado Dios, ni lo será después de mí.

Be you my witnesses, and I [too am] a witness, says the Lord God, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe, and understand that I am [he]: before me there was no other God, and after me there shall be none.

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

I am God; and beside me there is no Saviour.

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

I have declared, and have saved; I have reproached, and there was no strange [god] amongst you: you are my witnesses, and I am the Lord God,

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

even from the beginning; and there is none that can deliver out of my hands: I will work, and who shall turn it back?

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

Thus says the Lord God that redeems you, the Holy One of Israel; for your sakes I will send to Babylon, and I will stir up all that flee, and the Chaldeans shall be bound in ships.

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

I am the Lord God, your Holy One, who have appointed for Israel your king.

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

Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty water;

17 El que saca carro y caballo, ejército y fuerza; caen juntamente para no levantarse; quedan extinguidos, como pábilo quedan apagados.

who brought forth chariots and horse, and a mighty multitude: but they have lain down, and shall not rise: they are extinct, as quenched flax.

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

Remember you not the former things, and consider not the ancient things.

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

Behold, I [will] do new things, which shall presently spring forth, and you shall know them: and I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land.

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

the beasts of the field shall bless me, the owls and young ostriches; for I have given water in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land, to give drink to my chosen race,

21 Este pueblo crié para mí; mis alabanzas publicará.

my people whom I have preserved to tell forth my praises.

22 Y no me invocaste á mí, oh Jacob; antes, de mí te cansaste, oh Israel.

I have not now called you, O Jacob; neither have I made you weary, O Israel.

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

You have not brought me the sheep of your whole burnt offering; neither have you glorified me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with sacrifices, neither have I wearied you with frankincense.

24 No compraste para mí caña [aromática] por dinero, ni me saciaste con la grosura de tus sacrificios; antes me hiciste servir en tus pecados, me has fatigado con tus maldades.

Neither have you purchased for me victims for silver, neither have I desired the fat of your sacrifices: but you did stand before me in your sins, and in your iniquities.

25 Yo, yo soy el que borro 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 your sins; and I will not remember [them].

26 Hazme acordar, entremos en juicio juntamente; relata tú para abonarte.

But do you remember, and let us plead [together]: do you first confess your transgressions, that you may be justified.

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

Your fathers first, and your princes have transgressed against me.

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

And the princes have defiled my sanctuaries: so I gave Jacob [to enemies] to destroy, and Israel to reproach.
