Isaías 42

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 He aquí mi siervo a quien yo sostengo, mi elegido en quien se complace mi alma. He puesto mi espíritu sobre él: dictará ley a las naciones.	1 Behold my servant, I will uphold him, my elect, with him my soul is well-pleased. I have sent my Spirit upon him. He will offer judgment to the nations.
2 No vociferará ni alzará el tono, y no hará oír en la calle su voz.	2 He will not cry out, and he will not show favoritism to anyone; neither will his voice be heard abroad.
3 Caña quebrada no partirá, y mecha mortecina no apagará. Lealmente hará justicia;	3 The bruised reed he will not break, and the smoldering wick he will not extinguish. He will lead forth judgment unto truth.
4 no desmayará ni se quebrará hasta implantar en la tierra el derecho, y su instrucción atenderán las islas.	4 He will not be saddened or troubled, until he establishes judgment on earth. And the islands will await his law.
5 Así dice el Dios Yahveh, el que crea los cielos y los extiende, el que hace firme la tierra y lo que en ella brota, el que da aliento al pueblo que hay en ella, y espíritu a los que por ella andan.	5 Thus says the Lord God, who created the heavens and expanded it, who formed the earth and all that springs from it, who gives breath to the people in it, and spirit to those walking on it.
6 Yo, Yahveh, te he llamado en justicia, te así de la mano, te formé, y te he destinado a ser alianza del pueblo y luz de las gentes,	6 I, the Lord, have called you in justice, and I have taken your hand and preserved you. And I have presented you as a covenant of the people, as a light to the Gentiles,
7 para abrir los ojos ciegos, para sacar del calabozo al preso, de la cárcel a los que viven en tinieblas.	7 so that you may open the eyes of the blind, and lead out the prisoner from confinement and those sitting in darkness from the house of incarceration.
8 Yo, Yahveh, ese es mi nombre, mi gloria a otro no cedo, ni mi prez a los ídolos.	8 I am the Lord; this is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 Lo de antes ya ha llegado, y anuncio cosas nuevas; antes que se produzcan os las hago saber.	9 The things that were first, behold, they have arrived. And I also announce what is new. Before these things arise, I will cause you to hear about them.
10 Cantad a Yahveh un cántico nuevo, su loor desde los confines de la tierra. Que le cante el mar y cuanto contiene, las islas y sus habitantes.	10 Sing to the Lord a new canticle, sing his praise from the ends of the earth, you who descend into the sea and all its fullness, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 Alcen la voz el desierto y sus ciudades, las explanadas en que habita Quedar. Aclamen los habitantes de Petra, desde la cima de los montes vociferen.	11 Let the desert and its cities be lifted up. Kedar will dwell in houses. O inhabitants of the rock, give praise! They will cry out from the top of the mountains.
12 Den gloria a Yahveh, su loor en las islas publiquen.	12 They will give glory to the Lord, and they will announce his praise to the islands.
13 Yahveh como un bravo sale, su furor despierta como el de un guerrero; grita y vocifera, contra sus enemigos se muestra valeroso.	13 The Lord will go forth like a strong man; like a man of battle, he will stir up zeal. He will shout and cry out. He will prevail against his enemies.
14 «Estaba mudo desde mucho ha, había ensordecido, me había reprimido. Como parturienta grito, resoplo y jadeo entrecortadamente.	14 I have always been quiet; I have been silent; I have been patient. I will speak like a woman giving birth. I will destroy and consume, all at once.
15 Derribaré montes y cedros, y todo su césped secaré; convertiré los ríos en tierra firme y las lagunas secaré.	15 I will desolate the mountains and the hills, and I will wither all their grass. And I will turn rivers into islands, and I will dry up the pools of water.
16 Haré andar a los ciegos por un camino que no conocían, por senderos que no conocían les encaminaré. Trocaré delante de ellos la tiniebla en luz, y lo tortuoso en llano. Estas cosas haré, y no las omitiré».	16 And I will lead the blind along a way which they do not know. And I will cause them to walk along paths with which they were unfamiliar. I will turn darkness into light before them, and crooked into straight. These things I have done for them. For I have not abandoned them.
17 Haceos atrás, confusos de vergüenza, los que confiáis en ídolos, los que decís a la estatua fundida: «Vosotros sois nuestros dioses».	17 They have been converted again. Let those who trust in graven idols be greatly confounded, for they say to a molten thing, “You are our god.”
18 ¡Sordos, oíd! ¡Ciegos, mirad y ved!	18 You who are deaf, hear! You who are blind, turn your gaze and see!
19 ¿Quién está ciego, sino mi siervo? ¿y quién tan sordo como el mensajero a quien envío? (¿Quién es tan ciego como el enviado y tan sordo como el siervo de Yahveh?)	19 Who is blind, except my servant? Who is deaf, except the one to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, except the one who has been sold? And who is blind, except the servant of the Lord?
20 Por más que has visto, no has hecho caso; mucho abrir las orejas, pero no has oído.	20 You who see many things, will you not keep them? You who have open ears, will you not listen?
21 Yahveh se interesa, por causa de su justicia, en engrandecer y dar lustre a la Ley.	21 And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and to exalt him.
22 Pero es un pueblo saqueado y despojado, han sido atrapados en agujeros todos ellos, y en cárceles han sido encerrados. Se les despojaba y no había quien salvase; se les depedraba y nadie decía: «¡Devuelve!»	22 But this same people has robbed and laid waste. All their youth are a snare, and they have been hidden in houses of confinement. They have become victims; there is no one who may rescue them. They have been plundered; there is no one who may say, “Restore.”
23 ¿Quién de vosotros escuchará esto, atenderá y hará caso para el futuro?	23 Who is there among you who will hear this, who will listen closely and heed this in the future?
24 ¿Quién entregó al pillaje a Jacob, y a Israel a los saqueadores? ¿No ha sido Yahveh, contra quien pecamos, rehusamos andar por sus caminos, y no escuchamos sus instrucciones?	24 Who has handed over Jacob into plunder, and Israel into devastation? It is not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in his ways, and they have not listened to his law.
25 Vertió sobre él el ardor de su ira, y la violencia de la guerra le abrasó, por todos lados sin que se apercibiese, le consumió, sin que él reflexionase.	25 And so, he poured out over him the indignation of his fury and a strong battle. And he burned him all around, and he did not realize it. And he set him on fire, and he did not understand it.
