| 1 Mirad a mi siervo, | a quien sostengo; | mi elegido, | en quien me complazco. | He puesto mi espíritu sobre él, | manifestará la justicia a las naciones. | 1 Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. |
| 2 No gritará, no clamará, | no voceará por las calles. | 2 He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad. |
| 3 La caña cascada no la quebrará, | la mecha vacilante no la apagará. | Manifestará la justicia con verdad. | 3 The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. |
| 4 No vacilará ni se quebrará, | hasta implantar la justicia en el país. | En su ley esperan las islas. | 4 He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law. |
| 5 Esto dice el Señor, Dios, | que crea y despliega los cielos, | consolidó la tierra con su vegetación, | da el respiro al pueblo que la habita | y el aliento a quienes caminan por ella: | 5 Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon. |
| 6 «Yo, el Señor, | te he llamado en mi justicia, | te cogí de la mano, te formé | e hice de ti alianza de un pueblo | y luz de las naciones, | 6 I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles: |
| 7 para que abras los ojos de los ciegos, | saques a los cautivos de la cárcel, | de la prisión a los que habitan en tinieblas. | 7 That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. |
| 8 Yo soy el Señor, este es mi nombre; | no cedo mi gloria a ningún otro, | ni mi honor a los ídolos. | 8 I the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things. |
| 9 Lo antiguo ya ha sucedido, | y algo nuevo yo anuncio, | antes de que brote os lo hago oír». | 9 The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them. |
| 10 Cantad al Señor un cántico nuevo, | llegue su alabanza hasta el confín de la tierra; | muja el mar y lo que contiene, | las costas y sus habitantes; | 10 Sing ye to the Lora a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and all that are therein: ye islands, and ye inhabitants of them. |
| 11 alégrese el desierto con sus tiendas, | los cercados que habita Cadar; | exulten los habitantes de Petra, | clamen desde la cumbre de las montañas; | 11 Let the desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains. |
| 12 den gloria al Señor, | anuncien su alabanza en las costas. | 12 They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands. |
| 13 El Señor sale como un héroe, | excita su ardor como un guerrero, | lanza el alarido, | mostrándose valiente frente al enemigo. | 13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies. |
| 14 «Desde antiguo guardé silencio, | me callaba, aguantaba; | como parturienta, grito, | jadeo y resuello. | 14 I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once. |
| 15 Agostaré montes y collados, | secaré toda su hierba, | convertiré los ríos en yermo, | desecaré los estanques; | 15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools. |
| 16 conduciré a los ciegos | por el camino que no conocen, | los guiaré por senderos que ignoran; | ante ellos convertiré la tiniebla en luz, | lo escabroso en llano. | Esto es lo que haré | y no los abandonaré. | 16 And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them. |
| 17 Retrocederán cubiertos de vergüenza | los que confían en un ídolo, | los que dicen a sus obras: | “Vosotros sois nuestros dioses”». | 17 They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god. |
| 18 «¡Sordos, escuchad; ciegos, mirad y ved! | 18 Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see. |
| 19 ¿Quién está ciego, sino mi siervo, | quién es sordo como el mensajero que envío?». | ¿Quién es tan ciego como aquel que ha sido castigado, | tan ciego como el siervo del Señor? | 19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord? |
| 20 Has visto mucho y no has observado nada, | has abierto los oídos, pero no has escuchado. | 20 Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear? |
| 21 El Señor se ha complacido en aquel que era humillado: | ha hecho grande su salvación, magnífico su designio. | 21 And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it. |
| 22 Él era un pueblo saqueado y despojado, | atrapado en cuevas, encerrado en mazmorras. | Condenados al saqueo, nadie los liberaba, | al despojo, y nadie protestaba. | 22 But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: Restore. |
| 23 ¿Quién de vosotros prestará oído a todo esto, | y escuchará con atención en el futuro? | 23 Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will attend and hearken for times to come? |
| 24 ¿Quién ha entregado al despojo | y al saqueo a Israel? | ¿Acaso no los entregó el mismo Señor | contra quien hemos pecado, | cuando no quisimos caminar en sus caminos | y no obedecimos sus preceptos? | 24 Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened to his law. |
| 25 Por eso derramó sobre él | el ardor de su ira y el furor de la guerra, | que lo envolvía con sus llamas, pero él no comprendía; | lo consumía, aunque él no comprendía. | 25 And he hath poured out upon him the indignation of his fury, and a strong battle, and hath burnt him round about, and he knew not: and set him on fire, and he understood not. |
