Isaías 66

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Así dice Yahveh: Los cielos son mi trono y la tierra el estrado de mis pies, Pues ¿qué casa vais a edificarme, o qué lugar para mi reposo,	1 Thus says the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What is this house that you would build for me? And what is this place of my rest?
2 si todo lo hizo mi mano, y es mío todo ello? - Oráculo de Yahveh -. Y ¿en quién voy a fijarme? En el humilde y contrito que tiembla a mi palabra.	2 My hand has made all these things, and all these things have been made, says the Lord. But upon whom will I look with favor, except upon a poor little one, who is contrite in spirit, and who trembles at my words?
3 Se inmola un buey, se abate un hombre, se sacrifica una oveja, se desnuca un perro, se ofrece en oblación sangre de cerdo, se hace un memorial de incienso, se bendice a los ídolos. Ellos mismos eligieron sus propios caminos y en sus monstruos abominables halló su alma complacencia.	3 Whoever immolates an ox, it is as if he slaughters a man. Whoever sacrifices a sheep, it is as if he is smashing the head of a dog. Whoever offers an oblation, it is as if he is offering swine’s blood. Whoever makes remembrance with incense, it is as if he is blessing an idol. All these things, they have chosen according to their own ways, and their soul has taken delight in their own abominations.
4 También yo elegiré el vejarlos y sus temores traeré sobre ellos, por cuanto que llamé y nadie respondió, hablé y no escucharon, sino que hicieron lo que me parece mal y lo que no me gusta eligieron.	4 Therefore, I also will choose their illusions, and I will lead over them the things that they feared. For I called, and there was no one who would respond. I have spoken, and they have not listened. And they have done evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, they have chosen.
5 Escuchad la palabra de Yahveh, los que tembláis a su palabra. Dijeron vuestros hermanos que os aborrecen, que os rechazan por causa de mi nombre: «Que Yahveh muestre su gloria y veamos vuestra alegría». Pero ellos quedarán avergonzados.	5 Listen to the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word. Your brothers, who hate you and who cast you out because of my name, have said: “Let the Lord be glorified, and we will see by your rejoicing.” But they themselves will be confounded.
6 Voz estruendosa viene de la ciudad, voz del Templo: la voz de Yahveh que paga el merecido a sus enemigos.	6 A voice of the people from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord repaying retribution to his enemies!
7 Antes de tener dolores dio a luz, antes de llegarle el parto dio a luz varón.	7 Before she was in labor, she gave birth. Before her time arrived for delivery, she gave birth to a male child.
8 ¿Quién oyó tal? ¿Quién vio cosa semejante? ¿Es dado a luz un país en un solo día? ¿O nace un pueblo todo de una vez? Pues bien: Tuvo dolores y dio a luz Sión a sus hijos.	8 Who has ever heard of such a thing? And who has seen anything like this? Will the earth give birth in one day? Or will a nation be born all at once? For Zion has been in labor, and she has given birth to her sons.
9 ¿Abriré yo el seno sin hacer dar a luz - dice Yahveh - o lo cerraré yo, que hago dar a luz? - Dice tu Dios.	9 Will I, who causes others to give birth, not also give birth myself, says the Lord? Will I, who bestows generation upon others, be barren myself, says the Lord your God?
10 Alegraos, Jerusalén, y regocijaos por ella todos los que la amáis, llenaos de alegría por ella todos los que por ella hacíais duelo;	10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and exult in her, all you who love her! Rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her!
11 de modo que maméis y os hartéis del seno de sus consuelos, de modo que chupéis y os deleitéis de los pechos de su gloria.	11 So may you nurse and be filled, from the breasts of her consolations. So may you receive milk and overflow with delights, from every portion of her glory.
12 Porque así dice Yahveh: Mirad que yo tiendo hacia ella, como río la paz, y como raudal desbordante la gloria de las naciones, seréis alimentados, en brazos seréis llevados y sobre las rodillas seréis acariciados.	12 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will turn a river of peace toward her, with an inundating torrent: the glory of the Gentiles, from which you will nurse. You will be carried at the breasts, and they will caress you upon the knees.
13 Como uno a quien su madre le consuela, así yo os consolaré (y por Jerusalén seréis consolados).	13 In the manner of one whom a mother caresses, so will I console you. And you will be consoled in Jerusalem.
14 Al verlo se os regocijará el corazón, vuestros huesos como el césped florecerán, la mano de Yahveh se dará a conocer a sus siervos, y su enojo a sus enemigos.	14 You will see, and your heart will be glad, and your bones will flourish like a plant, and the hand of the Lord will be known to his servants, and he will be angry with his enemies.
15 Pues he aquí que Yahveh en fuego viene y como torbellino son sus carros, para desfogar su cólera con ira y su amenaza con llamas de fuego.	15 For behold, the Lord will arrive with fire, and his four-horse chariots will be like a whirlwind: to render his wrath with indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Porque con fuego Yahveh va a juzgar y con su espada a toda carne, y serán muchas las víctimas de Yahveh.	16 For the Lord will divide with fire, and with his sword among all flesh, and those slain by the Lord will be many.
17 Los que se consagran y los que se purifican en los jardines, detrás de uno que está en medio, que comen carne de cerdo, cosas inmundas y de rata, a una serán eliminados con sus acciones y sus pensamientos, - oráculo de Yahveh -.	17 Those who were sanctified, who thought themselves to be clean in the gardens behind the inner gate, who were eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they will be consumed all at once, says the Lord.
18 Yo vengo a reunir a todas las naciones y lenguas; vendrán y verán mi gloria.	18 But I know their works and their thoughts. I am arriving, so that I may gather them together with all nations and languages. And they will approach, and they will see my glory.
19 Pondré en ellos señal y enviaré de ellos algunos escapados a las naciones: a Tarsis, Put y Lud, Mések, Ros, Túbal, Yaván; a las islas remotas que no oyeron mi fama ni vieron mi gloria. Ellos anunciarán mi gloria a las naciones.	19 And I will set a sign among them. And I will send some of those who will have been saved to the Gentiles in the sea, to Africa, and to those who draw the bow in Lydia, to Italy and Greece, to islands far away, to those who have not heard of me, and to those who have not seen my glory. And they will announce my glory to the Gentiles.
20 Y traerán a todos vuestros hermanos de todas las naciones como oblación a Yahveh - en caballos, carros, literas, mulos y dromaderios - a mi monte santo de Jerusalén - dice Yahveh - como traen los hijos de Israel la oblación en recipiente limpio a la Casa de Yahveh.	20 And they will lead all of your brothers from all of the Gentiles as a gift to the Lord, on horses, and in four-horse chariots, and on stretchers, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, in the same manner that the sons of Israel would carry an offering in a pure vessel into the house of the Lord.
21 Y también de entre ellos tomaré para sacerdotes y levitas - dice Yahveh.	21 And I will take from them to be priests and Levites, says the Lord.
22 Porque así como los cielos nuevos y la tierra nueva que yo hago permanecen en mi presencia - oráculo de Yahveh - así permanecerá vuestra raza y vuestro nombre.	22 For in like manner as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will cause to stand before me, says the Lord, so will your offspring and your name stand.
23 Así pues, de luna en luna nueva y de sábado en sábado, vendrá todo el mundo a prosternarse ante mí - dice Yahveh.	23 And there will be month after month, and Sabbath after Sabbath. And all flesh will approach, so as to adore before my face, says the Lord.
24 Y en saliendo, verán los cadáveres de aquellos que se rebelaron contra mí; su gusano no morirá su fuego no se apagará, y serán el asco de todo el mundo.	24 And they will go out, and they will view the carcasses of the men who have transgressed against me. Their worm will not die, and their fire will not be extinguished. And they will be a sight to all flesh even unto revulsion.
