1 B ut now the Lord Who made you, O Jacob, and He Who made you, O Israel, says, “Do not be afraid. For I have bought you and made you free. I have called you by name. You are Mine!

Y AHORA, así dice Jehová Criador tuyo, oh Jacob, y Formador tuyo, oh Israel: No temas, Formador tuyo, oh Israel: No temas, fakporque yo te redimí; te puse nombre, mío eres tú.

2 W hen you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you pass through the rivers, they will not flow over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned. The fire will not destroy you.

Cuando pasares por las aguas, yo seré contigo; y por los ríos, no te anegarán. Cuando pasares por el fuego, no te quemarás, ni la llama arderá en ti.

3 F or I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, Who saves you. I have given Egypt as pay for your life, and have traded Cush and Seba for you.

Porque yo Jehová Dios tuyo, el Santo de Israel, soy tú Salvador: á Egipto he dado por tu rescate, á Etiopía y á Seba por ti.

4 Y ou are of great worth in My eyes. You are honored and I love you. I will give other men in your place. I will trade other people for your life.

Porque en mis ojos fuiste de grande estima, fuiste honorable, y yo te amé: daré pues hombres por ti, y naciones por tu alma.

5 D o not fear, for I am with you. I will bring your children from the east, and I will gather you from the west.

No temas, porque yo soy contigo; del oriente traeré tu generación, y del occidente te recogeré.

6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My sons from far away, and My daughters from the ends of the earth.

Diré al aquilón: Da acá, y al mediodía: No detengas: trae de lejos mis hijos, y mis hijas de los términos de la tierra,

7 B ring every one who is called by My name, for I have made him for My honor, yes, I made him.”

Todos los llamados de mi nombre; para gloria mía los críe, los formé y los hice.

8 B ring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, and those who cannot hear, even though they have ears.

Sacad al pueblo ciego que tiene ojos, y á los sordos que tienen oídos.

9 A ll the nations have gathered together so the people may be together. Who among them can make this known, and tell us what has happened before? Let them bring people who can show us that they are right. Let them hear and say, “It is true.”

Congréguense á una todas las gentes, y júntense todos los pueblos: ¿quién de ellos hay que nos dé nuevas de esto, y que nos haga oir las cosas primeras? Presenten sus testigos, y justifíquense; oigan, y digan: Verdad.

10 “ You can speak for Me,” says the Lord. “You are My servant whom I have chosen so that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. No God was made before Me, and there will be none after Me.

Vosotros sois mis testigos, dice Jehová, y mi siervo que yo escogí; para que me conozcáis y creáis, y entendáis que yo mismo soy; antes de mí no fué formado Dios, ni lo será después de mí.

11 I , even I, am the Lord. There is no one who saves except Me.

Yo, yo Jehová, y fuera de mí no hay quien salve.

12 I have spoken and saved and have made things known, and there was no strange god among you. You can speak for Me,” says the Lord, “and I am God.

Yo anuncié, y salvé, é hice oir, y no hubo entre vosotros extraño. Vosotros pues sois mis testigos, dice Jehová, que yo soy Dios.

13 I am God and always will be. No one is able to take anything out of My hand. I do something, and who can change it?” God’s Loving-Kindness—Israel Not Faithful

Aun antes que hubiera día, yo era; y no hay quien de mi mano libre: si yo hiciere, ¿quién lo estorbará?

14 T he Lord Who bought you and sets you free, the Holy One of Israel, says, “Because of you I have sent to Babylon, and will bring down all their leaders, even the Babylonians, into the ships in which they find joy.

Así dice Jehová, Redentor vuestro, el Santo de Israel: Por vosotros envié á Babilonia, é hice descender fugitivos todos ellos, y clamor de Caldeos en las naves.

15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Maker of Israel, your King.”

Yo Jehová, Santo vuestro, Criador de Israel, vuestro Rey.

16 T his is what the Lord says, Who makes a way through the sea and a path through the powerful waters,

Así dice Jehová, el que da camino en la mar, y senda en las aguas impetuosas;

17 W ho brings out the war-wagon and the horse, the army and the strong man, (They will lie down together and will not rise again. They are destroyed, put out like the fire of a little light):

El que saca carro y caballo, ejército y fuerza; caen juntamente para no levantarse; quedan extinguidos, como pábilo quedan apagados.

18 “ Do not remember the things that have happened before. Do not think about the things of the past.

No os acordéis de las cosas pasadas, ni traigáis á memoria las cosas antiguas.

19 S ee, I will do a new thing. It will begin happening now. Will you not know about it? I will even make a road in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

He aquí que yo hago cosa nueva: presto saldrá á luz: ¿no la sabréis? Otra vez pondré camino en el desierto, y ríos en la soledad.

20 T he wild animals will honor Me, the wild dogs and the ostriches. For I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.

La bestia del campo me honrará, los chacales, y los pollos del avestruz: porque daré aguas en el desierto, ríos en la soledad, para que beba mi pueblo, mi escogido.

21 T he people whom I made for Myself will make known My praise.

Este pueblo crié para mí, mis alabanzas publicará.

22 “ Yet you have not called on Me, O Jacob! You have become tired of Me, O Israel!

Y no me invocaste á mí, oh Jacob; antes, de mí te cansaste, oh Israel.

23 Y ou have not brought the sheep of your burnt gifts to Me in worship. You have not honored Me with your gifts on the altar. I have not made you bring gifts or special perfume to Me.

No me trajiste á mí los animales de tus holocaustos, ni á mí me honraste con tus sacrificios: no te hice servir con presente, ni te hice fatigar con perfume.

24 Y ou have not bought Me any sweet smelling plants with money. And you have not given Me the fat of your gifts on the altar. Instead you have put the weight of your sins upon Me. You have made Me tired with your wrong-doing.

No compraste para mí caña aromática por dinero, ni me saciaste con la grosura de tus sacrificios; antes me hiciste servir en tus pecados, me has fatigado con tus maldades.

25 “ I, even I, am the One Who takes away your sins because of Who I am. And I will not remember your sins.

Yo, yo soy el que borro tus rebeliones por amor de mí; y no me acordaré de tus pecados.

26 M ake Me remember, and let us talk together. Make your cause known, that you may be shown not to be guilty.

Hazme acordar, entremos en juicio juntamente; relata tú para abonarte.

27 Y our first father sinned, and those who have spoken for you have sinned against Me.

Tu primer padre pecó, y tus enseñadores prevaricaron contra mí.

28 S o I will make unclean the leaders of the holy place. I will give Jacob over to be destroyed, and Israel to sharp words of shame.

Por tanto, yo profané los príncipes del santuario, y puse por anatema á Jacob, y por oprobio á Israel.
