1 O ídme, los que seguís la justicia, los que buscáis a Jehová. Mirad a la piedra de donde fuisteis cortados, y al hueco de la cantera de donde fuisteis arrancados.

“Listen to me, you who are following what is right and good, and who are looking for the Lord. Look to the rock from which you were cut out, and to the hole from which you were dug.

2 M irad a Abraham vuestro padre, y a Sara que os dio a luz; porque cuando no era más que uno solo lo llamé, y lo bendije y lo multipliqué.

Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain. When he was but one, I called him. Then I brought good to him and made him many.”

3 C iertamente consolará Jehová a Sion; consolará todas sus soledades, y cambiará su desierto en paraíso, y su soledad en huerto de Jehová; se hallará en ella alegría y gozo, alabanza y voces de canto.

For the Lord will comfort Zion. He will comfort all her waste places. He will make her desert like Eden, like the garden of the Lord. Joy and happiness will be found in her. There will be much giving of thanks and much singing.

4 E stad atentos a mí, pueblo mío, y oídme, nación mía; porque de mí saldrá la ley, y mi justicia para luz de los pueblos.

“Listen to Me, O My people. Hear Me, O My nation. The Law will go out from Me and My Law will be a light to the people.

5 C ercana está mi justicia, ha salido mi salvación, y mis brazos juzgarán a los pueblos; a mí me esperan los de la costa, y en mi brazo ponen su esperanza.

My being right and good is near. My saving power has gone out, and My arms will judge the people. The islands will wait for Me. They will trust with hope for My arm.

6 A lzad a los cielos vuestros ojos, y mirad abajo a la tierra; porque los cielos serán deshechos como humo, y la tierra se envejecerá como ropa de vestir, y de la misma manera perecerán sus moradores; pero mi salvación será para siempre, mi justicia no perecerá.

Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look to the earth below. For the sky will go away like smoke. And the earth will wear out like a piece of clothing and those who live in it will die like flies. But My saving power will be forever. My being right and good will not come to an end.

7 O ídme, los que conocéis justicia, pueblo en cuyo corazón está mi ley. No temáis afrenta de hombre, ni desmayéis por sus ultrajes.

Listen to Me, you who know what is right and good, you people who have My Law in your hearts. Do not fear the shame of strong words from man. Do not be troubled when they speak against you.

8 P orque como a vestidura los comerá polilla, como a lana los comerá gusano; pero mi justicia permanecerá perpetuamente, y mi salvación por siglos de siglos.

For the moth will eat them like a piece of clothing. And the worm will eat them like wool. But My being right and good will be forever. My saving power will be to all children’s children to come.”

9 D espiértate, despiértate, vístete de poder, oh brazo de Jehová; despiértate como en el tiempo antiguo, en los siglos pasados. ¿No eres tú el que cortó a Rahab, y el que hirió al dragón?

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord. Awake as in the days of old, as You did with the people who lived long ago. Was it not You Who cut Rahab in pieces, and Who cut through the big dragon?

10 ¿ No eres tú el que secó el mar, las aguas del gran abismo; el que transformó en camino las profundidades del mar para que pasaran los redimidos?

Was it not You Who dried up the sea, the deep waters, and Who made a path through the deep sea for Your saved people to cross over?

11 C iertamente volverán los redimidos de Jehová; volverán a Sion cantando, y gozo perpetuo habrá sobre sus cabezas; tendrán gozo y alegría, y el dolor y el gemido huirán.

So the people, for whom the Lord paid the price to be saved, will return. They will come with songs of joy to Zion. Joy that lasts forever will be on their heads. They will receive joy and happiness, and sorrow and sad voices will hurry away.

12 Y o, yo soy vuestro consolador. ¿Quién eres tú para que tengas temor del hombre, que es mortal, y del hijo de hombre, que es como heno?

“I, even I, am He Who comforts you. Who are you that you are afraid of a man who dies? Why are you afraid of the sons of men who are made like grass,

13 Y ya te has olvidado de Jehová tu Hacedor, que extendió los cielos y fundó la tierra; y todo el día temiste continuamente del furor del que aflige, cuando se disponía para destruir. ¿Pero en dónde está el furor del que aflige?

that you have forgotten the Lord Who made you? He spread out the heavens and put the earth in its place. Why do you live in fear all day long because of the anger of the one who makes it hard for you as he makes ready to destroy? But where is his anger?

14 E l preso agobiado será libertado pronto; no morirá en la mazmorra, ni le faltará su pan.

The one in chains will soon be set free, and will not die in prison. And he will always have enough bread.

15 P orque yo Jehová, que agito el mar y hago rugir sus ondas, soy tu Dios, cuyo nombre es Jehová de los ejércitos.

For I am the Lord your God, Who fills the sea with action so that its waves sound: The Lord of All is His name.

16 Y en tu boca he puesto mis palabras, y con la sombra de mi mano te cubrí, extendiendo los cielos y echando los cimientos de la tierra, y diciendo a Sion: Pueblo mío eres tú.

I have put My words in your mouth, and have covered you with the shadow of My hand. I spread out the heavens and put the earth in its place, and say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’” No More Suffering for Jerusalem

17 D espierta, despierta, levántate, oh Jerusalén, que bebiste de la mano de Jehová el cáliz de su ira; porque el cáliz de aturdimiento bebiste hasta los sedimentos.

Awake! awake! Stand up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the Lord’s hand the cup of His anger. You drank it down, and you had trouble walking.

18 D e todos los hijos que dio a luz, no hay quien la guíe; ni quien la tome de la mano, de todos los hijos que crió.

There is no one to lead her among all the sons born of her. There is no one to take her by the hand among all the sons she has brought up.

19 E stas dos cosas te han acontecido: asolamiento y quebrantamiento, hambre y espada. ¿Quién se dolerá de ti? ¿Quién te consolará?

These two things have come upon you: Being laid waste and destroyed, hunger and the sword. Who will have sorrow for you? How can I comfort you?

20 T us hijos desmayaron, estuvieron tendidos en las encrucijadas de todos los caminos, como antílope en la red, llenos de la indignación de Jehová, de la ira del Dios tuyo.

Your sons have become weak and have fallen down. They cannot help themselves and they lie at the top of every street, like a deer in a net. The Lord has poured out His anger and sharp words upon them.

21 O ye, pues, ahora esto, afligida, ebria, y no de vino:

So hear this, you who are suffering, who are drunk, but not with wine.

22 A sí dijo Jehová tu Señor, y tu Dios, el cual aboga por su pueblo: He aquí he quitado de tu mano el cáliz de aturdimiento, los sedimentos del cáliz de mi ira; nunca más lo beberás.

Your Lord, the Lord your God Who fights for His people, says, “See, I have taken out of your hand the cup that makes you have trouble walking. You will never drink from the cup of My anger again.

23 Y lo pondré en mano de tus angustiadores, que dijeron a tu alma: Inclínate, y pasaremos por encima de ti. Y tú pusiste tu cuerpo como tierra, y como camino, para que pasaran.

I will put it into the hand of those who make it hard for you, who have said to you, ‘Lie down that we may walk over you.’ You have made your back like the ground and like the street for them to walk over.”
