Isaiah 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLIA
1 The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Joatham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.	1 Visión que Isaías, hijo de Amós, vio tocante a Judá y Jerusalén en tiempo de Ozías, Jotam, Ajaz y Ezequías, reyes de Judá.
2 Listen, O heavens, and pay attention, O earth, for the Lord has spoken. I have nurtured and raised children, but they have spurned me.	2 Oíd, cielos, escucha, tierra, que habla Yahveh; «Hijos crié y saqué adelante, y ellos se rebelaron contra mí.
3 An ox knows his owner, and a donkey knows the manger of his lord, but Israel has not known me, and my people have not understood.	3 Conoce el buey a su dueño, y el asno el pesebre de su amo. Israel no conoce, mi pueblo no discierne».
4 Woe to a sinful nation, a people burdened by iniquity, a wicked offspring, accursed children. They have abandoned the Lord. They have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel. They been taken away backwards.	4 ¡Ay, gente pecadora, pueblo tarado de culpa. semilla de malvados, hijos de perdición! Han dejado a Yahveh, han despreciado al Santo de Israel, se han vuelto de espaldas.
5 For what reason shall I continue to strike you, as you increase transgressions? The entire head is feeble, and the entire heart is grieving.	5 ¿En dónde golpearos ya, si seguís contumaces? La cabeza toda está enferma, toda entraña doliente.
6 From the sole of the foot, even to the top of the head, there is no soundness within. Wounds and bruises and swelling sores: these are not bandaged, nor treated with medicine, nor soothed with oil.	6 De la planta del pie a la cabeza no hay en él cosa sana: golpes, magulladuras y heridas frescas, ni cerradas, ni vendadas, ni ablandadas con aceite.
7 Your land is desolate. Your cities have been set ablaze. Foreigners devour your countryside in your sight, and it will become desolate, as if devastated by enemies.	7 Vuestra tierra es desolación, vuestras ciudades, hogueras de fuego; vuestro suelo delante de vosotros extranjeros se lo comen, y es una desolación como devastación de extranjeros.
8 And the daughter of Zion will be left behind, like an arbor in a vineyard, and like a shelter in a cucumber field, and like a city being laid to waste.	8 Ha quedado la hija de Sión como cobertizo en viña, como albergue en pepinar, como ciudad sitiada.
9 If the Lord of hosts had not bequeathed us offspring, we would have been like Sodom, and we would have been comparable to Gomorrah.	9 De no habernos dejado Yahveh Sebaot un residuo minúsculo, como Sodoma seríamos, a Gomorra nos pareceríamos.
10 Listen to the Word of the Lord, you leaders of the people of Sodom. Listen closely to the law of our God, O people of Gomorrah.	10 Oíd una palabra de Yahveh, regidores de Sodoma. Escuchad una instrucción de nuestro Dios, pueblo de Gomorra.
11 The multitude of your sacrifices, what is that to me, says the Lord? I am full. I do not desire holocausts of rams, nor the fat of fatlings, nor the blood of calves and of lambs and of he-goats.	11 «¿A mí qué, tanto sacrificio vuestro? - dice Yahveh -. Harto estoy de holocaustos de carneros y de sebo de cebones; y sangre de novillos y machos cabríos no me agrada,
12 When you approach before my sight, who is it that requires these things from your hands, so that you would walk in my courts?	12 cuando venís a presentaros ante mí. ¿Quién ha solicitado de vosotros esa pateadura de mis atrios?
13 You should no longer offer sacrifice vain. Incense is an abomination to me. The new moons and the Sabbaths and the other feast days, I will not receive. Your gatherings are iniquitous.	13 No sigáis trayendo oblación vana: el humo del incienso me resulta detestable. Novilunio, sábado, convocatoria: no tolero falsedad y solemnidad.
14 My soul hates your days of proclamation and your solemnities. They have become bothersome to me. I labor to endure them.	14 Vuestros novilunios y solemnidades aborrece mi alma: me han resultado un gravamen que me cuesta llevar.
15 And so, when you extend your hands, I will avert my eyes from you. And when you multiply your prayers, I will not heed you. For your hands are full of blood.	15 Y al extender vosotros vuestras palmas, me tapo los ojos por no veros. Aunque menudeéis la plegaria, yo no oigo. Vuestras manos están de sangre llenas:
16 Wash, become clean, take away the evil of your intentions from my eyes. Cease to act perversely.	16 lavaos, limpiaos, quitad vuestras fechorías de delante de mi vista, desistid de hacer el mal,
17 Learn to do good. Seek judgment, support the oppressed, judge for the orphan, defend the widow.	17 aprended a hacer el bien, buscad lo justo, dad sus derechos al oprimido, haced justicia al huérfano, abogad por la viuda.
18 And then approach and accuse me, says the Lord. Then, if your sins are like scarlet, they shall be made white like snow; and if they are red like vermillion, they shall become white like wool.	18 Venid, pues, y disputemos - dice Yahveh -: Así fueren vuestros pecados como la grana, cual la nieve blanquearán. Y así fueren rojos como el carmesí, cual la lana quedarán.
19 If you are willing, and you listen to me, then you will eat the good things of the land.	19 Si aceptáis obedecer, lo bueno de la tierra comeréis.
20 But if you are not willing, and you provoke me to anger, then the sword will devour you. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.	20 Pero si rehusando os oponéis, por la espada seréis devorados, que ha hablado la boca de Yahveh.
21 How has the faithful city, full of judgment, become a harlot? Justice lived in her, but now murderers.	21 ¡Cómo se ha hecho adúltera la villa leal! Sión llena estaba de equidad, justicia se albergaba en ella, pero ahora, asesinos.
22 Your silver has turned into dross. Your wine has been mixed with water.	22 Tu plata se ha hecho escoria. Tu bebida se ha aguado.
23 Your leaders are unfaithful, the associates of thieves. They all love gifts; they pursue rewards. They do not judge for orphans, and the widow’s case is not brought before them.	23 Tus jefes, revoltosos y aliados con bandidos. Cada cual ama el soborno y va tras los regalos. Al huérfano no hacen justicia, y el pleito de la viuda no llega hasta ellos.
24 Because of this, the Lord God of hosts, the Strength of Israel, says: Ah! I will be consoled over my enemies, and I will be vindicated from my adversaries.	24 Por eso - oráculo del Señor Yahveh Sebaot, el Fuerte de Israel -: ¡Ay! Voy a desquitarme de mis contrarios, voy a vengarme de mis enemigos.
25 And I will turn my hand to you. And I will temper your dross unto purity, and I will take away all your tin.	25 Voy a volver mi mano contra ti y purificaré al crisol tu escoria, hasta quitar toda tu ganga.
26 And I will restore your judges, so that they will be as before, and your counselors as in times long past. After this, you shall be called the City of the Just, the Faithful City.	26 Voy a volver a tus jueces como eran al principio, y a tus consejeros como antaño. Tras de lo cual se te llamará Ciudad de Justicia, Villa-leal.
27 Zion will be redeemed in judgment, and they will lead her back to justice.	27 Sión por la equidad será rescatada, y sus cautivos por la justicia.
28 And he shall crush the accursed and sinners together. And those who have abandoned the Lord will be consumed.	28 Padecerán quebranto rebeldes y pecadores a una, y los desertores de Yahveh se acabarán.
29 For they shall be confounded because of the idols, to which they have sacrificed. And you shall be ashamed over the gardens that you chose,	29 Porque os avergonzaréis de las encinas que anhelabais, y os afrentaréis de los jardines que preferíais.
30 when you were like an oak with falling leaves, and like a garden without water.	30 Porque seréis como encina que se le cae la hoja, y como jardín que a falta de agua está.
31 And your strength will be like the embers from stubble, and your work will be like a spark, and both will burn together, and there will be no one to extinguish it.	31 El hombre fuerte se volverá estopa, y su trabajo, chispa: arderán ambos a una, y no habrá quien apague.
