Isaiah 28 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 ¡Ay de la corona de orgullo de los borrachos de Efraín, y de la flor marchita de su gloria que está sobre la cabeza de los vencidos por la bebida fuerte!
1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine!
2 Miren, el Señor tiene a alguien fuerte y cruel. Como una tormenta de granizo que destruye todo, como un río poderoso que se desborda, los vencerá con violencia.
2 Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong. Like a storm of hail, a destroying storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast them down to the earth with his hand.
3 La corona de orgullo de los borrachos de Efraín será pisoteada.
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot.
4 La flor marchita de su gloria, que está a la cabeza del valle fértil, será como el primer fruto que madura antes del verano: apenas alguien lo ve, lo toma y se lo lleva a la boca.
4 The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer, which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it.
5 En aquel día el Señor de los ejércitos será una corona de gloria y un hermoso adorno para lo que quede de su pueblo.
5 In that day, Yahweh of Armies will become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the residue of his people,
6 Será un espíritu de sabiduría para el juez y dará fuerza a los que rechazan a los atacantes en la puerta de la ciudad.
6 and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
7 También estos se tambalean por el vino y se han desviado por la bebida fuerte. El sacerdote y el profeta se tambalean por la bebida fuerte; el vino los domina y la bebida fuerte los ha desviado. Sus visiones son falsas y se equivocan en sus decisiones.
7 They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgment.
8 Todas las mesas están cubiertas de vómito; no queda ningún lugar limpio.
8 For all tables are completely full of filthy vomit and filthiness.
9 ¿A quién dará conocimiento? ¿A quién explicará el mensaje? ¿A los que apenas han dejado de tomar leche y acaban de ser apartados del pecho?
9 Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
10 Porque es una regla tras otra, una línea tras otra; un poco aquí, un poco allá.
10 For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.
11 No, él hablará a este pueblo con palabras entrecortadas y en una lengua extraña.
11 But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language,
12 Les había dicho: «Este es el descanso; den descanso al cansado. Así podrán recuperar fuerzas». Pero no quisieron escuchar.
12 to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to the weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.
13 Por eso la palabra del Señor será para ellos una regla tras otra, una línea tras otra; un poco aquí, un poco allá. Así seguirán su camino, caerán hacia atrás, quedarán destrozados y serán atrapados en la red.
13 Therefore Yahweh’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.
14 Por eso, hombres orgullosos que gobiernan a este pueblo en Jerusalén, escuchen la palabra del Señor.
14 Therefore hear Yahweh’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:
15 Ustedes han dicho: «Hemos hecho amistad con la muerte y un acuerdo con el lugar de los muertos. Cuando pasen las aguas desbordadas, no nos alcanzarán. Buscamos ayuda en las mentiras y nos refugiamos en el engaño».
15 “Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’”
16 Por eso el Señor Dios dice: Miren, pongo en Sión una piedra como base: una piedra probada, una piedra de esquina firme y de gran valor. El que tiene fe no cederá.
16 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.
17 Usaré las decisiones justas como cuerda de medir y la justicia como peso. El granizo arrasará el refugio de las mentiras y las aguas cubrirán el escondite.
17 I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18 La ayuda que esperaban de la muerte quedará en nada y su acuerdo con el lugar de los muertos se romperá. Cuando pasen las aguas desbordadas, los vencerán.
18 Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it.
19 Cada vez que pasen, los alcanzarán, porque pasarán mañana tras mañana, de día y de noche. La noticia solo traerá miedo.
19 As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to understand the message.”
20 La cama es demasiado corta para estirarse y la manta es demasiado estrecha para cubrirse.
20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.
21 El Señor se levantará como en el monte Perazim y se llenará de ira como en el valle de Gabaón. Hará su obra, una obra extraña, y llevará a cabo su acto, un acto fuera de lo común.
21 For Yahweh will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.
22 Ahora tengan cuidado de no burlarse de él, para que no se aprieten sus cadenas. Porque he oído de parte del Señor, el Señor de los ejércitos, que vendrá sobre toda la tierra un fin, un fin completo.
22 Now therefore don’t be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, on the whole earth.
23 Escuchen mi voz y presten atención a lo que digo.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!
24 ¿Acaso el que ara sigue arando para siempre? ¿No prepara y rompe la tierra para sembrar?
24 Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?
25 Cuando ha nivelado el terreno, ¿no pone las distintas semillas, el grano en filas, la cebada en su lugar y la espelta en el borde?
25 When he has leveled its surface, doesn’t he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed, and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place?
26 Su Dios le enseña y le da el conocimiento de estas cosas.
26 For his God instructs him in right judgment and teaches him.
27 El comino negro no se tritura con un instrumento afilado ni se hace pasar una rueda de carro sobre el comino. El grano del comino negro se saca a golpes de palo, y el del comino con una vara.
27 For the dill isn’t threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod.
28 ¿Se tritura el grano para el pan? No lo siguen triturando para siempre; hacen pasar las ruedas del carro y los caballos sobre él sin aplastarlo.
28 Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it. Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses don’t grind it.
29 Esto viene del Señor de los ejércitos, que hace planes maravillosos y actúa siempre con sabiduría.
29 This also comes out from Yahweh of Armies, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Wherefore also Isaiah says: "Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I deposit in the foundations of Zion a stone, precious, elect, the chief, the corner-one, to be had in honour." So, then, we understand that His advent in human nature was not by the will of a man, but by the will of God.
… slavery, and through that astonishment was going on to a desire of trying it, and from it to the trial itself, and thence, perchance, to fall into that bondage whereat he was so astonished, seeing he was ready to enter into "a covenant with death;" and he that loves danger shall fall into it.

He is called a Stone, not a lifeless stone, cut out by men's hands, but a chief corner-stone, on whom whosoever believeth shall not be put to shame.

Since then these things are so, and we have broken up for ourselves the fallows of Divinity, so as not to sow upon thorns, and have made plain the face of the ground, being moulded and moulding others by Holy Scripture...let us now enter upon Theological questions, setting at the head thereof the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, …
