Isaías 57
1El justo perece, y no hay quien se conduela; son arrebatados los hombres piadosos, y nadie advierte que el justo es quitado para eximirlo del mal. 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.2Entra en la paz; descansan en sus moradas los que anduvieron con rectitud. Let peace arrive. Let he who has walked in his righteousness find rest on his bed.3Mas vosotros acercaos aquí, hijos de la hechicera, descendencia de la adúltera y de la ramera. But come here, you sons of the prophetess, you offspring of an adulterous man and a fornicating woman.4¿De quién os burláis? ¿Contra quién ensancháis la boca y sacáis la lengua? ¿No sois hijos de pecado, linaje de mentira? 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,5Os inflamáis de concupiscencia bajo cada terebinto y bajo todo árbol frondoso, y sacrificáis a los niños en los valles de los torrentes, en las hendiduras de las rocas. who are being consoled by idols under every leafy tree, immolating little children at the torrents, under the high rocks?6Las piedras del torrente serán tu herencia; ellas, ellas son tu suerte, porque a ellas les derramaste libaciones y les presentaste ofrendas. ¿Y por ello no he de indignarme? 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?7Sobre un monte alto y encumbrado colocaste tu lecho, y allí subes para inmolar víctimas. Upon a high and lofty mountain, you have placed your bed, and you have ascended to that place to immolate victims.8Detrás de la puerta y los postes pusiste tu memorial, y lejos de Mí te desnudaste, allí subiste a tu lecho y lo ensanchaste, vendiéndote a aquellos cuyo comercio amabas, y cuyo signo veías. 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.9Llevaste ungüentos al rey, y multiplicaste tus unciones; enviaste lejos a tus legados, y descendiste hasta el scheol. 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.10Te fatigaste en el largo camino, pero no dijiste: “Es en vano.” Hallaste cómo avivar tus fuerzas, por eso no te debilitaste. 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.11¿A quién temiste, acongojada, para renegar de Mí, para no acordarte de Mí, ni parar mientes en ello? ¿No es porque Yo callaba desde largo tiempo? Por eso no me tuviste miedo. 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.12Ahora haré conocer cuál es tu justicia, y cuáles tus obras que no te aprovecharán. I will announce your justice, and your works will not benefit you.13Cuando clames, ¡líbrete tu colección (de imágenes)! Mas el viento se las llevará a todas; un soplo las arrebatará: pero el que se refugia en Mí, heredará la tierra, y poseerá mi santo monte. 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.14Y se dirá: ¡Allanad, haced terraplenes, despejad el camino; levantad los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo! 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!”15Porque así dice el Alto, el Excelso, cuya morada es eterna, y cuyo nombre es el Santo: Yo habito en la altura y en la santidad, y también en los (de corazón) contrito, y en los humildes de espíritu, para vivificar el espíritu de los humildes, y reanimar el corazón de los contritos. 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.16Pues no para siempre quiero litigar, ni guardar eternamente la ira; porque desfallecería ante Mí el espíritu de las vidas que Yo he creado. 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.17Por culpa de su codicia me irrité y le castigué, escondí (mi rostro) y me airé, pero él en su perversidad siguió los caminos de su corazón. 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.18Yo he visto sus caminos, y le sanaré; Yo seré su guía y le consolaré a él y a sus afligidos; 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.19Yo que creo la paz, fruto de los labios, paz para el que está lejos y para el que está cerca, Yo le sanaré. Así dice Yahvé. 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.20Mas los impíos son como un mar alborotado que no puede calmarse y cuyas aguas revuelven el barro y el lodo. But the impious are like the raging sea, which is not able to be quieted, and its waves stir up dirt and mud.21No hay paz para los impíos, dice mi Dios. There is no peace for the impious, says the Lord God.
