Isaiah 41

KING JAMES BIBLE	Biblia Sagrada
1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.	1 Callad ante mí, islas; | cobren fuerza las naciones, | que se acerquen a hablar, | comparezcamos juntos a juicio.
2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.	2 ¿Quién lo ha suscitado desde Oriente? | ¿Quién convoca la victoria a su paso, | le entrega los pueblos, le somete los reyes? | Su espada los reduce a polvo, | su arco los dispersa como paja,
3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.	3 los persigue y avanza seguro, | sus pasos no tocan el camino.
4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.	4 ¿Quién ha actuado, quién lo ha hecho? | Aquel que convoca | las generaciones desde el comienzo, | yo, Señor desde el principio, | y siempre el mismo, hasta con los últimos.
5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.	5 Las islas lo han visto y temen, | se estremecen los confines de la tierra, | se acercan y se presentan las islas y naciones.
6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.	6 Se ayudan uno a otro; | uno dice a su compañero: «¡Ánimo!».
7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.	7 Anima el artesano al orfebre, | el que forja con el martillo, al que golpea el yunque, | diciendo: «¡Buena soldadura!»; | y lo sujetan con clavos para que no se mueva.
8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.	8 Y tú, Israel, siervo mío; | Jacob, mi escogido; | estirpe de Abrahán, mi amigo,
9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.	9 a quien escogí de los extremos de la tierra, | a quien llamé desde sus confines, diciendo: | «Tú eres mi siervo, | te he elegido y no te he rechazado»,
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.	10 no temas, porque yo estoy contigo; | no te angusties, porque yo soy tu Dios. | Te fortalezco, te auxilio, | te sostengo con mi diestra victoriosa.
11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.	11 Se avergonzarán humillados | los que se enfurecían contra ti; | serán aniquilados y perecerán | los que pleiteaban contra ti.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.	12 Buscarás a tus adversarios, | y no podrás encontrarlos: | serán aniquilados, como nada, | los que te combaten.
13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.	13 Porque yo, el Señor, tu Dios, | te tomo por tu diestra y te digo: | «No temas, yo mismo te auxilio».
14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.	14 No temas, gusanillo de Jacob, | oruga de Israel, | yo mismo te auxilio | —oráculo del Señor—, | tu libertador es el Santo de Israel.
15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.	15 Mira, te convierto en trillo nuevo, | aguzado, de doble filo: | trillarás los montes hasta molerlos; | reducirás a paja las colinas;
16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.	16 los aventarás y el viento se los llevará, | el vendaval los dispersará. | Pero tú te alegrarás en el Señor, | te gloriarás en el Santo de Israel.
17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.	17 Los pobres y los indigentes | buscan agua, y no la encuentran; | su lengua está reseca por la sed. | Yo, el Señor, les responderé; | yo, el Dios de Israel, no los abandonaré.
18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.	18 Haré brotar ríos en cumbres desoladas, | en medio de los valles, manantiales; | transformaré el desierto en marisma | y el yermo en fuentes de agua.
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:	19 Pondré en el desierto cedros, | acacias, mirtos y olivares; | plantaré en la estepa cipreses, | junto con olmos y alerces,
20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.	20 para que vean y sepan, | reflexionen y aprendan de una vez, | que la mano del Señor lo ha hecho, | que el Santo de Israel lo ha creado.
21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.	21 Presentad vuestro pleito, | dice el Señor; | aducid vuestras pruebas, | dice el rey de Jacob.
22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.	22 Que se acerquen | y nos anuncien lo que va a suceder. | Decidnos cuáles fueron las cosas primeras | y prestaremos atención. | O bien, anunciadnos lo que va a suceder | y sabremos el desenlace.
23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.	23 Manifestad lo que vendrá después, | y sabremos que sois dioses. | Haced al menos algo, bueno o malo, | para que nos sorprendamos y lo veamos juntos.
24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.	24 En fin, vosotros sois nada, | y nada son vuestras obras. | Elegiros es abominable.
25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.	25 Yo lo he suscitado desde el norte, y él viene, | desde Oriente, y él me invoca por mi nombre, | pisotea a los gobernantes como barro, | como apisona la arcilla el alfarero.
26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.	26 ¿Quién lo anunció desde el comienzo | para que lo supiéramos, | y de antemano, | para que dijéramos: «Es así»? | Pero no: ninguno anuncia, | ninguno proclama | y ninguno escucha vuestras palabras.
27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.	27 Yo fui el primero en anunciarlo en Sión: | «Mirad, helo aquí», | y envié un heraldo a Jerusalén.
28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counseller, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.	28 Miré en torno, pero no había nadie, | nadie a quien pedir consejo | y que pudiera responder.
29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.	29 Todos ellos no son nada, | vacías son sus obras, | viento y caos sus estatuas.
