Isaiah 57
1 The just man perishes, and there is no one who acknowledges it in his heart; and men of mercy are taken away, for there is no one who understands. For the just man has been taken away before the face of malice.
Perece el justo, y no hay quien eche de ver; y los varones piadosos son recogidos, y no hay quien entienda que delante de la aflicción es recogido el justo.
2 Let peace arrive. Let he who has walked in his righteousness find rest on his bed.
Vendrá la paz, descansarán sobre sus camas todos los que andan delante de él.
3 But come here, you sons of the prophetess, you offspring of an adulterous man and a fornicating woman.
Y vosotros, llegáos acá, hijos de la agorera: generación de adúltero y de fornicaria.
4 Whom are you mocking? Against whom have you opened your mouth wide and wagged your tongue? Are you not sons of wickedness, a lying offspring,
¿De quién escarnecisteis? ¿Contra quién ensanchasteis la boca, y alongasteis la lengua? ¿Vosotros no sois hijos rebeldes, simiente mentirosa?
5 who are being consoled by idols under every leafy tree, immolating little children at the torrents, under the high rocks?
¿Qué os calentáis con los alcornoques debajo de todo árbol sombrío? ¿qué sacrificáis los hijos en los valles debajo de los peñascos?
6 Your portion is in the currents of the torrent; this is your lot! And you yourselves have poured out libations to them; you have offered sacrifice. Should I not be angry over these things?
En las polidas peñas del valle es tu parte: estas, estas son tu suerte. A estas también derramaste derramadura, ofreciste presente. ¿No me tengo de vengar de estas cosas?
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain, you have placed your bed, and you have ascended to that place to immolate victims.
Sobre el monte alto y enhiesto pusiste tu cama: allí también subiste a sacrificar sacrificio.
8 And behind the door, and beyond the post, you have set up your memorial. For you uncovered yourself next to me, and you received an adulterer. You widened your bed, and you formed a pact with them. You loved their bed with an open hand.
Y tras la puerta y el lumbral pusiste tu memorial; porque a otro que a mí te descubriste; y subiste, y ensanchaste tu cama, e hiciste con ellos alianza: amaste su cama donde quiera que veías.
9 And you have adorned yourself for the king with ointments, and you have increased your cosmetics. You have sent your representatives to distant places, and you have debased yourself all the way to Hell. (Sheol h7585)
Y fuiste al rey con óleo, y multiplicaste tus olores: y enviaste tus embajadores lejos, y abatístete hasta el profundo. (Sheol h7585)
10 You have been wearied by the multitude of your own ways. Yet you did not say, “I will cease.” You have found life by your own hand; because of this, you have not prayed.
En la multitud de tus caminos te cansaste, y no dijiste: No hay remedio: hallaste lo que buscabas; por tanto no te arrepentiste.
11 For whose sake have you been anxiously afraid, so that you would lie and not be mindful of me, nor consider me in your heart? For I am silent, and I am like someone who does not see, and so you have forgotten me.
¿Y a quién reverenciaste y temiste? ¿Por qué mientes? que no te has acordado de mí, ni te vino al pensamiento. ¿No he yo disimulado, y nunca me has temido?
12 I will announce your justice, and your works will not benefit you.
Yo publicaré tu justicia y tus obras, que no te aprovecharán.
13 When you cry out, let your followers free you. But the wind will carry them all away; a breeze will take them up. But he who has faith in me will inherit the earth and will possess my holy mountain.
Cuando clamares, líbrente tus allegados: que a todos ellos llevará el viento, tomará la vanidad: mas el que en mí espera, tendrá la tierra por heredad, y poseerá el monte de mi santidad;
14 And I will say: “Make way! Grant passage! Move to the side of the path! Take the obstacles out of the way of my people!”
Y dirá: Allanád, allanád: barréd el camino, quitád los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo.
15 For this is said by the Most High, the Sublime One, who dwells in eternity. And his name is Holy, for he dwells in the exalted and holy place, and he acts with a restrained and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Porque así dijo el Alto y sublime, el que habita en eternidad, y cuyo nombre es el Santo: Que tengo por morada la altura y la santidad; y con el quebrantado y abatido de espíritu habito, para hacer vivir el espíritu de los abatidos, y para hacer vivir el corazón de los quebrantados.
16 For I will not contend unceasingly, and I will not be angry to the end. For I will exhale my breath, and the Spirit will go forth from my face.
Porque no tengo de contender para siempre, ni para siempre me tengo de enojar; porque el espíritu por mí fue vestido, y yo hice las almas.
17 Because of the iniquity of his avarice, I was angry, and I struck him down. I concealed my face from you, and I was angry. And he went astray by wandering in his heart.
Por la iniquidad de su codicia me enojé, y le herí: escondí mí rostro, y me ensañé; y fue el rebelde por el camino de su corazón.
18 I saw his ways, and I healed him, and I led him back again, and I restored consolations to him and to those who mourn for him.
Sus caminos vi, y sanarle he; y pastorearle he, y darle he consolaciones a él y a sus enlutados.
19 I created the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him who is far away, and peace to him who is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.
Crío fruto de labios, paz, paz al lejano y cercano, dijo Jehová, y le sano.
20 But the impious are like the raging sea, which is not able to be quieted, and its waves stir up dirt and mud.
Mas los impíos, como la mar en tempestad, que no se puede reposar; y sus aguas arrojan cieno y lodo.
21 There is no peace for the impious, says the Lord God.
No hay paz, dijo mi Dios, para los impíos.
