1 T he Powerful One, God, the Lord, has spoken. And He calls the earth from where the sun rises to where the sun goes down.

El poderoso Dios, el Señor, ha hablado, Y convocado a la tierra, desde el nacimiento del sol hasta su ocaso.

2 G od shines from Zion, perfect in beauty.

Desde Sion, perfección de hermosura, Dios ha resplandecido.

3 M ay our God come and not keep quiet. A fire burns before Him, and around Him is a powerful storm.

Que venga nuestro Dios y no calle; El fuego consume delante de El, Y a Su derredor hay gran tempestad.

4 H e calls the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:

El convoca a los cielos en lo alto Y a la tierra, para juzgar a Su pueblo,

5 “ Gather My holy ones to Me, those who have made an agreement with Me by their gifts given on an altar.”

Y dice: “Junten a Mis santos, Los que han hecho conmigo pacto con sacrificio.”

6 A nd the heavens will tell how right and good He is, for God Himself is judge.

Y los cielos declaran Su justicia, Porque Dios mismo es el juez. (Selah)

7 “ Listen, O My people, and I will speak. O Israel, I will speak against you. I am God, your God.

“Oye, pueblo Mío, y hablaré; Israel, Yo testificaré contra ti. Yo soy Dios, tu Dios.

8 I do not speak sharp words to you for your gifts given on an altar. And your burnt gifts are always before Me.

No te reprendo por tus sacrificios, Ni por tus holocaustos, que están continuamente delante de Mí.

9 I will not take a young bull out of your house, or male goats out of your fields.

No tomaré novillo de tu casa, Ni machos cabríos de tus corrales.

10 F or every animal among the trees is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

Porque Mío es todo animal del bosque, Y el ganado sobre mil colinas.

11 I know every bird of the mountains. And all things that move in the field are Mine.

Conozco a todas las aves de los montes, Y Mío es todo lo que en el campo se mueve.

12 I f I were hungry, I would not tell you. For the world is Mine, and all that is in it.

Si Yo tuviera hambre, no te lo diría a ti; Porque Mío es el mundo y todo lo que en él hay.

13 S hould I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of male goats?

¿ Acaso he de comer carne de toros, O beber sangre de machos cabríos?

14 G ive a gift of thanks on the altar to God. And pay your promises to the Most High.

Ofrece a Dios sacrificio de acción de gracias, Y cumple tus votos al Altísimo.

15 C all on Me in the day of trouble. I will take you out of trouble, and you will honor Me.”

Invoca Mi nombre en el día de la angustia; Yo te libraré, y tú Me honrarás.”

16 B ut to the sinful, God says: “What right do you have to tell of My Laws, and take My agreement in your mouth?

Pero al impío Dios le dice: “¿Qué derecho tienes tú de hablar de Mis estatutos, Y de tomar Mi pacto en tus labios ?

17 F or you hate to be told what to do, and you throw My words behind you.

Porque tú aborreces la disciplina, Y a tus espaldas echas Mis palabras.

18 W hen you see a robber, you are pleased with him. And you join those who do sex sins.

Cuando ves a un ladrón, te complaces con él, Y con adúlteros te asocias.

19 Y ou say bad things with your mouth, and you lie with your tongue.

Das rienda suelta a tu boca para el mal, Y tu lengua trama engaño.

20 Y ou sit and speak against your brother. You talk against your own mother’s son.

Te sientas y hablas contra tu hermano; Al hijo de tu propia madre calumnias.

21 Y ou have done these things, and I have kept quiet. You thought that I was just like you. But I will speak sharp words to you, and tell you who is guilty to your face.

Estas cosas has hecho, y Yo he guardado silencio; Pensaste que Yo era tal como tú; Pero te reprenderé, y delante de tus ojos expondré tus delitos.

22 “ Now think about this, you who forget God, or I will tear you in pieces and there will be no one to save you.

Entiendan ahora esto ustedes, los que se olvidan de Dios, No sea que los despedace, y no haya quien los libre.

23 H e who gives a gift of thanks honors Me. And to him who makes his way right, I will show him the saving power of God.”

El que ofrece sacrificio de acción de gracias Me honra; Y al que ordena bien su camino, Le mostraré la salvación de Dios.”
