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 said YHWH, Your Creator, O Jacob, and your Fashioner, O Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you, I have called on 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.

When you pass into waters, I [am] with you, And into floods, they do not overflow you, When you go into fire, you are not burned, And a flame does not burn against 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—your God YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, I have appointed Egypt your atonement, Cush and Seba in your stead.

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 were precious in My eyes, You were honored, and I have loved you, And I appoint men in your stead, And peoples instead of your life.

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

Do not be afraid, for I [am] with you, I bring in your seed from the east, And I 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 am saying to the north, “Give up,” And to the south, “Do not restrain.” Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.

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

Everyone who is called by My Name, Even for My glory I have created him, I have formed him, indeed, I have made him.

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

He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.

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 have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declares this, And causes us to hear former things? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, “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.

You [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.

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

I [am] YHWH, And besides Me there is no savior.

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 declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And you [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And I [am] 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 day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who turns 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 said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I have sent to Babylon for your sake, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.

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

I [am] YHWH, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.”

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

Thus said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong waters.

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

Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: “They lie down together—they do not rise, They have been extinguished, They have been quenched as flax.”

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

Do not remember former things, And do not consider 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 am doing a new thing, now it springs up, Do you not know it? Indeed, I put a way in a wilderness, In a desolate place—floods.

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 beast of the field honors Me, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given waters in a wilderness, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people—My chosen.

21 Este pueblo crié para mí; mis alabanzas publicará.

I have formed this people for Myself, They recount My praise.

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

And you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied of Me, 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 to Me, The lamb of your burnt-offerings, And [with] your sacrifices you have not honored Me, I have not caused you to serve with a present, Nor 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.

You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, And have not filled Me [with] the fat of your sacrifices, Only—you have caused Me to serve with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.

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

I [am] He who is blotting out Your transgressions for My own sake, And I do not remember your sins.

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

Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you may be justified.

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

Your first father sinned, And your interpreters transgressed against Me,

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

And I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
