Isaías 57
1 PERECE el justo, y no hay quien pare mientes; y los píos son recogidos, y no hay quien entienda que delante de la aflicción es recogido el justo.
See how the just man has perished, and no one lays [it] to heart: and righteous men are taken away, and no one considers: for the righteous has been removed out of the way of injustice.
2 Entrará en la paz; descansarán en sus lechos [todos] los que andan delante de [Dios].
His burial shall be in peace: he has been removed out of the way.
3 Mas vosotros llegaos acá, hijos de la agorera, generación de adúltero y de fornicaria.
But draw you near hither, you lawless children, the seed of adulterers and the harlot.
4 ¿De quién os habéis mofado? ¿contra quién ensanchasteis la boca, y alargasteis la lengua? ¿No sois vosotros hijos rebeldes, simiente mentirosa,
Wherein have you been rioting? and against whom have you opened your mouth, and against whom have you loosed your tongue? are you not children of perdition? a lawless seed?
5 Que os enfervorizáis con los ídolos debajo de todo árbol umbroso, que sacrificáis los hijos en los valles, debajo de los peñascos?
who call upon idols under the leafy trees, slaying your children in the valleys among the rocks?
6 En las pulimentadas [piedras] del valle está tu parte; ellas, ellas son tu suerte; y á ellas derramaste libación, y ofreciste presente. ¿No me tengo de vengar de estas cosas?
That is your portion, this is your lot: and to them have you poured forth drink-offerings, and to these have you offered meat-offerings. Shall I not therefore be angry for these things?
7 Sobre el monte alto y empinado pusiste tu cama: allí también subiste á hacer sacrificio.
On a lofty and high mountain, there is your bed, and there you carried up your meat-offerings:
8 Y tras la puerta y el umbral pusiste tu recuerdo: porque á otro que á mí [te] descubriste, y subiste, y ensanchaste tu cama, é hiciste con ellos alianza: amaste su cama donde quiera que la veías.
and behind the posts of your door you did place your memorials. Did you think that if you should depart from me, you would gain? you have loved those that lay with you;
9 Y fuiste al rey con ungüento, y multiplicaste tus perfumes, y enviaste tus embajadores lejos, y te abatiste hasta el profundo. (Sheol h7585)
and you have multiplied your whoredom with them, and you have increased the number of them that are far from you, and have sent ambassadors beyond your borders, and have been debased even to hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 En la multitud de tus caminos te cansaste, mas no dijiste: No hay remedio; hallaste la vida de tu mano, por tanto no te arrepentiste.
You has wearied yourself with your many ways; yet you said not, I will cease to strengthen myself: for you has done these things; therefore you has not supplicated me.
11 ¿Y de quién te asustaste y temiste, que has faltado á la fe, y no te has acordado de mí, ni te vino al pensamiento? ¿No he yo disimulado desde tiempos antiguos, y nunca me has temido?
Through dread of whom have you feared, and lied against me, and has not remembered, nor considered me, nor regarded me, yes, though when I see you I pass you by, yet you has not feared me.
12 Yo publicaré tu justicia y tus obras, que no te aprovecharán.
And I will declare your righteousness, and your sins, which shall not profit you.
13 Cuando clamares, líbrente tus allegados; empero á todos ellos llevará el viento, un soplo los arrebatará; mas el que en mí espera, tendrá la tierra por heredad, y poseerá el monte de mi santidad.
When you cry out, let them deliver you in your affliction: for all these the wind shall take, and the tempest shall carry [them] away: but they that cleave to me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
14 Y dirá: Allanad, allanad; barred el camino, quitad los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo.
And they shall say, Clear the ways before him, and take up the stumbling blocks out of the way of my people.
15 Porque así dijo el Alto y Sublime, el que habita la eternidad, y cuyo nombre es el Santo: Yo habito en la altura y la santidad, y con el quebrantado y humilde de espíritu, para hacer vivir el espíritu de los humildes, y para vivificar el corazón de los quebrantados.
Thus says the Most High, who dwells on high for ever, Holy in the holies, is his name, the Most High resting in the holies, and giving patience to the faint-hearted, and giving life to the broken-hearted:
16 Porque no tengo de contender para siempre, ni para siempre me he de enojar: pues decaería ante mí el espíritu, y las almas que yo he criado.
I will not take vengeance on you for ever, neither will I be always angry with you: for my Spirit shall go forth from me, and I have created all breath.
17 Por la iniquidad de su codicia me enojé y heríle, escondí [mi rostro] y ensañéme; y fué él rebelde por el camino de su corazón.
On account of sin for a little while I grieved him, and struck him, and turned away my face from him; and he was grieved, and he went on sorrowful in his ways.
18 Visto he sus caminos, y le sanaré, y le pastorearé, y daréle consolaciones, á él y á sus enlutados.
I have seen his ways, and healed him, and comforted him, and given him true comfort;
19 Crío fruto de labios: Paz, paz al lejano y al cercano, dijo Jehová; y sanarélo.
peace upon peace to them that are far off, and to them that are near: and the Lord has said, I will heal them.
20 Mas los impíos son como la mar en tempestad, que no puede estarse quieta, y sus aguas arrojan cieno y lodo.
But the unrighteous shall be tossed as troubled waves, and shall not be able to rest.
21 No hay paz, dijo mi Dios, para los impíos.
There is no joy to the ungodly, said God.
