Isaías 57

The just man perishes, and there is no one who acknowledges it in his heart; and men of mercy are taken away, for there is no one who understands. For the just man has been taken away before the face of malice.

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.

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

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.

Let peace arrive. Let he who has walked in his righteousness find rest on his bed.

Entrará en la paz; descansarán en sus lechos todos los que andan delante de Dios.

He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.

But come here, you sons of the prophetess, you offspring of an adulterous man and a fornicating woman.

Mas vosotros llegaos acá, hijos de la agorera, generación de adúltero y de fornicaria.

But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

“But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.

Whom are you mocking? Against whom have you opened your mouth wide and wagged your tongue? Are you not sons of wickedness, a lying offspring,

¿De quién os habéis mofado? ¿contra quién ensanchasteis la boca, y alargasteis la lengua? ¿No sois vosotros hijos rebeldes, simiente mentirosa,

Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,

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,

who are being consoled by idols under every leafy tree, immolating little children at the torrents, under the high rocks?

Que os enfervorizáis con los ídolos debajo de todo árbol umbroso, que sacrificáis los hijos en los valles, debajo de los peñascos?

Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

Your portion is in the currents of the torrent; this is your lot! And you yourselves have poured out libations to them; you have offered sacrifice. Should I not be angry over 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?

Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?

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?

Upon a high and lofty mountain, you have placed your bed, and you have ascended to that place to immolate victims.

Sobre el monte alto y empinado pusiste tu cama: allí también subiste á hacer sacrificio.

Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.

And behind the door, and beyond the post, you have set up your memorial. For you uncovered yourself next to me, and you received an adulterer. You widened your bed, and you formed a pact with them. You loved their bed with an open hand.

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.

Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.

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 a covenant for yourself with them. You loved what you saw on their bed.

And you have adorned yourself for the king with ointments, and you have increased your cosmetics. You have sent your representatives to distant places, and you have debased yourself all the way to Hell.

Y fuiste al rey con ungüento, y multiplicaste tus perfumes, y enviaste tus embajadores lejos, y te abatiste hasta el profundo.

And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.

You have been wearied by the multitude of your own ways. Yet you did not say, “I will cease.” You have found life by your own hand; because of this, you have not prayed.

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.

Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.

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.

For whose sake have you been anxiously afraid, so that you would lie and not be mindful of me, nor consider me in your heart? For I am silent, and I am like someone who does not see, and so you have forgotten 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?

And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?

“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?

I will announce your justice, and your works will not benefit you.

Yo publicaré tu justicia y tus obras, que no te aprovecharán.

I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.

I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you.

When you cry out, let your followers free you. But the wind will carry them all away; a breeze will take them up. But he who has faith in me will inherit the earth and will possess 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.

When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;

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.”

And I will say: “Make way! Grant passage! Move to the side of the path! Take the obstacles out of the way of my people!”

Y dirá: Allanad, allanad; barred el camino, quitad los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo.

And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.

He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”

For this is said by the Most High, the Sublime One, who dwells in eternity. And his name is Holy, for he dwells in the exalted and holy place, and he acts with a restrained 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.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

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.

For I will not contend unceasingly, and I will not be angry to the end. For I will exhale my breath, and the Spirit will go forth from my face.

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.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

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.

Because of the iniquity of his avarice, I was angry, and I struck him down. I concealed my face from you, and I was angry. And he went astray by wandering in 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.

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

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.

I saw his ways, and I healed him, and I led him back again, and I restored consolations to him and to those who mourn for him.

Visto he sus caminos, y le sanaré, y le pastorearé, y daréle consolaciones, á él y á sus enlutados.

I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

I created the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him who is far away, and peace to him who is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.

Crío fruto de labios: Paz, paz al lejano y al cercano, dijo Jehová; y sanarélo.

I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

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.”

But the impious are like the raging sea, which is not able to be quieted, and its waves stir up dirt and mud.

Mas los impíos son como la mar en tempestad, que no puede estarse quieta, y sus aguas arrojan cieno y lodo.

But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.

There is no peace for the impious, says the Lord God.

No hay paz, dijo mi Dios, para los impíos.

There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

“There is no peace”, says my God, “for the wicked.”
