Isaiah 59
1 Behold, the hand of the Lord has not been shortened, so that it cannot save, and his ear has not been blocked, so that it cannot hear.
He aquí, que no es acortada la mano de Jehová para salvar; ni es agravado su oído para oír:
2 But your iniquities have made a division between you and your God, and your sins have concealed his face from you, so that he would not hear.
Mas vuestras iniquidades han hecho división entre vosotros y vuestro Dios; y vuestros pecados han hecho cubrir su rostro de vosotros, para no os oír.
3 For your hands have been polluted by blood, and your fingers by iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue utters iniquity.
Porque vuestras manos están contaminadas de sangre, y vuestros dedos de iniquidad: vuestros labios pronuncian mentira, y vuestra lengua habla maldad.
4 There is no one who calls for justice, and there is no one who judges truly. For they trust in nothing, and they speak emptiness. They have conceived hardship, and they have given birth to iniquity.
No hay quien clame por la justicia, ni quien juzgue por la verdad: confían en vanidad, y hablan vanidades: conciben trabajo, y paren iniquidad.
5 They have ruptured the eggs of asps, and they have woven the webs of spiders. Whoever will eat of their eggs will die. For what has been incubated will hatch into a king snake.
Ponen huevos de áspides, y tejen telas de arañas: el que comiere de sus huevos, morirá; y si lo apretaren, saldrá un basilisco.
6 Their weavings will not be for clothing, nor will they cover themselves with their handiwork. Their works are useless things, and the work of iniquity is in their hands.
Sus telas no servirán para vestir, ni de sus obras serán cubiertos: sus obras son obras de iniquidad, y obra de rapiña está en sus manos.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they rush to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are useless thoughts; devastation and destruction are in their ways.
Sus pies corren al mal, y se apresuran para derramar la sangre inocente: sus pensamientos, pensamientos de iniquidad: destrucción y quebrantamiento en sus caminos.
8 They have not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps. Their paths have become crooked for them. Anyone who treads in them knows no peace.
Nunca conocieron camino de paz, ni hay derecho en sus caminos: sus veredas torcieron a sabiendas: cualquiera que por ellas fuere, no conocerá paz.
9 Because of this, judgment is far from us, and justice will not take hold of us. We waited for light, and behold, darkness; we waited for brightness, and we walked in darkness.
Por esto se alejó de nosotros el juicio, y justicia nunca nos alcanzó: esperamos luz, y he aquí tinieblas; resplandores, y andamos en oscuridad.
10 We groped for the wall, like one who is blind, and we felt our way, like one without eyes. We stumbled at midday, as if in darkness; and in darkness, as if in death.
Atentamos como ciegos la pared, y como sin ojos andamos a tiento: tropezamos en el medio día como de noche: sepultados como muertos.
11 We will all roar like bears, and we will sigh like despondent doves. We hoped for judgment, and there is none; for salvation, and it is far from us.
Aullamos como osos todos nosotros, y como palomas gemimos gimiendo: esperamos juicio, y no parece: salud, y se alejó de nosotros.
12 For our iniquities have been multiplied in your sight, and our sins have answered us. For our wickedness is with us, and we have acknowledged our iniquities:
Porque nuestras rebeliones se han multiplicado delante de ti, y nuestros pecados nos han respondido; porque nuestras iniquidades están con nosotros, y conocemos nuestros pecados.
13 sinning and lying against the Lord. And we have turned away, not so as to go after our God, and so that we were speaking calumny and transgression. We have conceived, and spoken from the heart, words of falsehood.
Rebelar, y mentir contra Jehová, y tornar de en pos de nuestro Dios: hablar calumnia, y rebelión, concebir, y hablar de corazón palabras de mentira.
14 And judgment has been turned backwards, and justice has stood far away. For truth has fallen down in the street, and fairness was not able to enter.
Y el derecho se retiró, y la justicia se puso lejos; porque la verdad tropezó en la plaza, y la equidad no pudo venir.
15 And the truth has gone into oblivion. And he who withdraws from evil endures plunder. And the Lord saw this, and it seemed evil in his eyes. For there is no judgment.
Y la verdad fue detenida; y el que se apartó del mal fue puesto en presa. Y lo vio Jehová, y desagradó en sus ojos; porque pereció el derecho.
16 And he saw that there was no good man. And he was astonished that there was no one to meet him. And his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice strengthened him.
Y vio que no había hombre, y se maravilló que no hubiese quien entreviniese; y salvóle su brazo, y su misma justicia le afirmó.
17 He clothed himself with justice as with a breastplate, and with a helmet of salvation upon his head. He put on the vestments of vengeance, and he was covered with zeal as with a cloak.
Y vistióse de justicia, como de loriga, y capacete de salud en su cabeza; y vistióse de vestido de venganza por vestido, y cubrióse de zelo como de manto.
18 This was for vindication, as a repayment of indignation to his adversaries, and as a sudden reversal for his enemies. He will repay the islands in their turn.
Como para dar pagos, como para tomar venganza de sus enemigos, dar el pago a sus adversarios: a las islas dará el pago.
19 And those from the west will fear the name of the Lord, and those from the rising of the sun will fear his glory, when he arrives like a violent river, which the Spirit of the Lord urges on.
Y temerán desde el occidente el nombre de Jehová, y desde el nacimiento del sol, su gloria; porque vendrá el enemigo como río, mas el Espíritu de Jehová levantará bandera contra él.
20 And the Redeemer will arrive in Zion, and to those who return from the iniquity within Jacob, says the Lord.
Y vendrá Redentor a Sión, y a los que se volvieren de la iniquidad en Jacob, dijo Jehová.
21 This is my pact with them, says the Lord. My Spirit is within you, and my words, which I have put in your mouth, will not withdraw from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring, says the Lord, from this moment, and even forever.
Y este será mi concierto con ellos, dijo Jehová: El Espíritu mío que está sobre ti, y mis palabras que puse en tu boca, no faltarán de tu boca, y de la boca de tu simiente, y de la boca de la simiente de tu simiente, dijo Jehová, desde ahora y para siempre.
