Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perish, and no one lays it to heart. Merciful men are taken away, and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
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.
2 He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
Entrará en la paz; descansarán en sus lechos [todos] los que andan delante de [Dios].
3 “But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
Mas vosotros llegaos acá, hijos de la agorera, generación de adúltero y de fornicaria.
4 Whom do you mock? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out your tongue? Aren’t you children of disobedience and offspring of falsehood,
¿De quién os habéis mofado? ¿contra quién ensanchasteis la boca, y alargasteis la lengua? ¿No sois vosotros hijos rebeldes, simiente mentirosa,
5 you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
Que os enfervorizáis con los ídolos debajo de todo árbol umbroso, que sacrificáis los hijos en los valles, debajo de los peñascos?
6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion. They, they are your lot. You have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
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?
7 On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
Sobre el monte alto y empinado pusiste tu cama: allí también subiste á hacer sacrificio.
8 You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts, for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me, and have gone up. You have enlarged your bed and made you a covenant with them. You loved what you saw on their bed.
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.
9 You went to the king with oil, increased your perfumes, sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Y fuiste al rey con ungüento, y multiplicaste tus perfumes, y enviaste tus embajadores lejos, y te abatiste hasta el profundo. (Sheol h7585)
10 You were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint.
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.
11 “Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven’t I held my peace for a long time, and you don’t fear me?
¿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?
12 I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
Yo publicaré tu justicia y tus obras, que no te aprovecharán.
13 When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you, but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away, but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”
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.
14 He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
Y dirá: Allanad, allanad; barred el camino, quitad los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo.
15 For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite 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 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.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.
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.
17 I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him. I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
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.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
Visto he sus caminos, y le sanaré, y le pastorearé, y daréle consolaciones, á él y á sus enlutados.
19 I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says the LORD; “and I will heal them.”
Crío fruto de labios: Paz, paz al lejano y al cercano, dijo Jehová; y sanarélo.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.
Mas los impíos son como la mar en tempestad, que no puede estarse quieta, y sus aguas arrojan cieno y lodo.
21 “There is no peace”, says my God, “for the wicked.”
No hay paz, dijo mi Dios, para los impíos.
