| 1 And now thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, and who formed you, O Israel: Do not be afraid. For I have redeemed you, and I have called you by your name. You are mine. | 1 Y ahora esto dice el Señor, que te creó, Jacob, | que te ha formado, Israel: | «No temas, que te he redimido, | te he llamado por tu nombre, tú eres mío. |
| 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and the rivers will not cover you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not scorch you. | 2 Cuando cruces las aguas, yo estaré contigo, | la corriente no te anegará; | cuando pases por el fuego, no te quemarás, | la llama no te abrasará. |
| 3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. I have presented Egypt as your atonement, Ethiopia and Seba on your behalf. | 3 Porque yo, el Señor, soy tu Dios; | el Santo de Israel es tu salvador. | Entregué Egipto como rescate, | Etiopía y Saba a cambio de ti, |
| 4 Since then, you have become honorable in my eyes, and glorious. I have loved you, and I will present men on behalf of you, and people on behalf of your life. | 4 porque eres precioso ante mí, | de gran precio, y yo te amo. | Por eso entrego regiones a cambio de ti, | pueblos a cambio de tu vida. |
| 5 Fear not, for I am with you. I will lead your offspring from the East, and I will gather you from the West. | 5 No temas, porque yo estoy contigo. | Desde Oriente traeré a tu estirpe, | te reuniré desde Occidente. |
| 6 I will say to the North, “Release him,” and to the South, “Do not turn him away.” Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth. | 6 Diré al Norte: devuélvelo, | y al Sur: no lo retengas. | Haz venir a mis hijos desde lejos, | y a mis hijas del extremo de la tierra, |
| 7 And each one who calls upon my name, I have created for my glory. I have formed him, and I have made him. | 7 a todos los que llevan mi nombre, | a los que creé para mi gloria, | a los que he hecho y he formado. |
| 8 Lead forth the people who are blind and have eyes, who are deaf and have ears. | 8 Saca afuera a un pueblo que tiene ojos, | pero está ciego, | que tiene oídos, pero está sordo. |
| 9 All the nations have been assembled together, and the tribes have been collected. Who among you will announce this, and who will cause us to listen to the things that are first? Let them present their witnesses. Let them act justly, and listen, and say: “It is true.” | 9 Que todas las naciones se congreguen | y todos los pueblos se reúnan. | ¿Quién de entre ellos podría anunciar esto, | o proclamar los hechos antiguos? | Que presenten sus testigos para justificarse, | que los oigan y digan: es verdad. |
| 10 You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and you are my servant, whom I have chosen, so that you may know, and may believe in me, and so that you may understand that I am the same. Before me, there was no god formed, and after me there will be none. | 10 Vosotros sois mis testigos | —oráculo del Señor—, | y también mi siervo, | al que yo escogí, | para que sepáis y creáis y comprendáis | que yo soy Dios. | Antes de mí no había sido formado ningún dios, | ni lo habrá después. |
| 11 I am. I am the Lord. And there is no savior apart from me. | 11 Yo, yo soy el Señor, | fuera de mí no hay salvador. |
| 12 I have announced, and I have saved. I have caused it to be heard. And there was no stranger among you. You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and I am God. | 12 Yo lo anuncié y os salvé; | lo anuncié y no hubo entre vosotros dios extranjero. | Vosotros sois mis testigos —oráculo del Señor—: | yo soy Dios. |
| 13 And from the beginning, I am the same. And there is no one who can rescue from my hand. I act, and who can turn it aside? | 13 Lo soy desde siempre, | y nadie se puede liberar de mi mano. | Lo que yo hago ¿quién podría deshacerlo? |
| 14 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake, I sent to Babylon, and tore down all their bars, with the Chaldeans who glory in their ships. | 14 Esto dice el Señor, vuestro libertador, | el Santo de Israel: | por vosotros he enviado una expedición a Babilonia, | he traído a todos los fugitivos | y a los caldeos que se glorían en sus naves. |
| 15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. | 15 Yo soy el Señor, vuestro Santo, | el creador de Israel, vuestro rey. |
| 16 Thus says the Lord, who gave you a way through the sea and a path through the torrent of waters, | 16 Esto dice el Señor, | que abrió camino en el mar | y una senda en las aguas impetuosas; |
| 17 who led out the chariot and the horse, the column of robust troops. They went to sleep together, and they will not arise. They have been crushed like flax, and they have been extinguished. | 17 que sacó a batalla carros y caballos, | la tropa y los héroes: | caían para no levantarse, | se apagaron como mecha que se extingue. |
| 18 You need not call to mind the past, nor consider the things of antiquity. | 18 «No recordéis lo de antaño, | no penséis en lo antiguo; | mirad que realizo algo nuevo; | ya está brotando, ¿no lo notáis? |
| 19 Behold, I am accomplishing new things. And presently, they will spring forth. With certainty, you will know them. I will make a way in the desert, and rivers in an impassible place. | 19 Abriré un camino en el desierto, | corrientes en el yermo. |
| 20 The wild beasts of the field will glorify me, with the serpents and the ostriches. For I have brought waters to the desert, rivers to inaccessible places, in order to give drink to my people, to my elect. | 20 Me glorificarán las bestias salvajes, | chacales y avestruces, | porque pondré agua en el desierto, | corrientes en la estepa, | para dar de beber a mi pueblo elegido, |
| 21 This is the people whom I have formed for myself. They will speak my praise. | 21 a este pueblo que me he formado | para que proclame mi alabanza. |
| 22 But you have not called upon me, O Jacob, nor have you struggled for me, O Israel. | 22 Pero tú no me invocabas, Jacob, | porque te cansaste de mí, Israel. |
| 23 You have not offered me the ram of your holocaust, and you have not glorified me with your victims. I have not burdened you with oblations, nor have I wearied you with incense. | 23 No me ofreciste tus ovejas en holocausto | ni me honraste con tus sacrificios. | Yo no te agobié exigiéndote ofrendas | ni te cansé pidiéndote incienso. |
| 24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, and you have not inebriated me with the fat of your victims. Yet truly, you have burdened me with your sins; you have wearied me with your iniquities. | 24 Pero tú no me compraste caña aromática, | ni me has satisfecho con la grasa de tus sacrificios. | Al contrario, me has agobiado con tus pecados, | me has cansado con tus culpas. |
| 25 I am. I am the very One who wipes away your iniquities for my own sake. And I will not remember your sins. | 25 Yo, soy yo quien por mi cuenta | cancelo tus crímenes y olvido tus pecados. |
| 26 Call me to mind, and let us go to judgment together. If you have anything to justify yourself, explain it. | 26 Hazme recordar y discutiremos, | cuenta tu versión para justificarte. |
| 27 Your first father sinned, and your interpreters have betrayed me. | 27 Pecó tu primer padre, | tus jefes se rebelaron contra mí. |
| 28 And so, I have defiled the holy leaders. I have handed over Jacob to slaughter, and Israel to calumny. | 28 Por eso traté como impíos | a los jerarcas del santuario, | entregué a Jacob al exterminio | y a Israel a los ultrajes». |
