Isaiah 29 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 ¡Ay, Ariel, Ariel, la ciudad contra la que David hizo la guerra! Añadan un año a otro y dejen que vuelvan las fiestas.
1 Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
2 Enviaré angustia sobre Ariel; habrá llanto y gritos de dolor, y ella será para mí como Ariel.
2 then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
3 Te haré la guerra como David, te cercaré con muros de tierra y levantaré torres a tu alrededor.
3 I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
4 Serás humillada. Tu voz saldrá de la tierra y tus palabras sonarán bajas desde el polvo. Tu voz saldrá de la tierra como la de un espíritu, con sonidos de ave que vienen del polvo.
4 You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
5 El ejército de tus atacantes será como polvo fino, y todos los crueles serán como tallos secos que el viento se lleva. Sucederá de repente.
5 But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
6 El Señor de los ejércitos vendrá con truenos, terremotos y un gran ruido, con viento fuerte, tormenta y llamas de fuego.
6 She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
7 Todas las naciones que hacen la guerra contra Ariel, todos los que luchan contra ella y la cercan con sus torres, serán como un sueño, como una visión de la noche.
7 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8 Será como el hambriento que sueña que come, pero despierta con la boca vacía; o como el sediento que sueña que bebe, pero despierta débil y todavía tiene sed. Así serán todas las naciones que hacen la guerra contra el monte Sión.
8 It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
9 Queden sorprendidos y maravillados; cúbranse los ojos y queden ciegos. Emborráchense, pero no con vino; caminen tambaleándose, pero no por la bebida fuerte.
9 Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 El Señor les ha enviado un espíritu de sueño profundo. Él ha cerrado sus ojos, los profetas, y ha cubierto sus cabezas, los videntes.
10 For Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.
11 Toda esta visión les parece como las palabras de un libro cerrado. Se lo dan a alguien que sabe leer y le dicen: «Explícanos lo que dice el libro». Pero él responde: «No puedo, porque está cerrado».
11 All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed;”
12 Se lo dan a alguien que no sabe leer y le dicen: «Explícanos lo que dice el libro». Pero él responde: «No sé leer».
12 and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t read.”
13 El Señor dijo: Este pueblo se acerca a mí con la boca y me honra con los labios, pero su corazón está lejos de mí. Su temor hacia mí es falso, una regla que les enseñaron los hombres.
13 The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;
14 Por eso volveré a hacer algo extraño entre este pueblo, algo asombroso. La sabiduría de sus sabios quedará en nada y desaparecerá el buen juicio de sus guías.
14 therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.”
15 Malditos sean los que se esconden en lo profundo para ocultar sus planes al Señor, los que actúan en la oscuridad y dicen: «¿Quién nos ve? ¿Quién conoce nuestros actos?».
15 Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
16 ¡Ustedes ponen todo al revés! ¿Consideran que el barro es igual al que lo moldea? ¿Dirá lo creado a su creador: «Él no me hizo»? ¿O dirá lo moldeado al que le dio forma: «Él no entiende»?
16 You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay, that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
17 Dentro de muy poco el Líbano se convertirá en un campo fértil, y el campo fértil parecerá un bosque.
17 Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
18 En aquel día los sordos oirán las palabras del libro, y los ojos de los ciegos verán a través de la niebla y la oscuridad.
18 In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19 Los pobres tendrán más alegría en el Señor, y los necesitados se alegrarán en el Santo de Israel.
19 The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 El cruel ha quedado en nada, los que se burlan del Señor han desaparecido y han sido eliminados los que están atentos para hacer el mal.
20 For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—
21 Estos ayudan a un hombre en una causa injusta, tienden una trampa al que da las decisiones en el lugar público y le quitan a un hombre sus derechos sin motivo.
21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for one who reproves in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
22 Por eso el Señor, el salvador de Abraham, dice acerca de la familia de Jacob: Jacob ya no será avergonzado ni su rostro se ensombrecerá de miedo.
22 Therefore Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
23 Cuando los hijos de Jacob vean entre ellos la obra de mis manos, honrarán mi nombre. Sí, honrarán al Santo de Jacob y temerán al Dios de Israel.
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 Los que se habían apartado de él entenderán, y los que protestaban contra él prestarán atención a su enseñanza.
24 They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”

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).
For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, "This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." And again: "They bless with their mouth, but curse with their heart." And again it saith, "They loved Him with their mouth, and lied to Him with their tongue; but their heart was not right with Him, neither …
As also Isaiah says: "This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me: howbeit in vain do they worship Me, teaching the doctrines and the commandments of men." He does not call the law given by Moses commandments of men, but the traditions of the elders themselves which they had invented, and in upholding which …
But He fulfills what the holy prophets truly predicted regarding Him: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the prudence of the prudent." For He does not destroy and bring to nought His own gift in them, but what they arrogate to themselves, and do not hold of Him.

Have ye not heard the prophet, saying (or rather God by the prophet), "This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me?" Therefore, lest this be our case too, wipe thou out the letters, or rather the impressions, which the devil hath engraven in thy soul; and bring me a heart set free from worldly …
