Isaiah 41 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 Costas, vengan en silencio ante mí. Que los pueblos reúnan sus fuerzas, se acerquen y digan lo que tengan que decir. Presentemos nuestras causas unos contra otros.
1 “Keep silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let’s meet together for judgment.
2 ¿Quién envió desde el este a uno que actúa con justicia por dondequiera que va? Él entrega las naciones en sus manos y lo hace gobernar sobre reyes; los da como polvo a su espada y como tallos secos llevados por el viento a su arco.
2 Who has raised up one from the east? Who called him to his feet in righteousness? He hands over nations to him and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.
3 Los persigue sin peligro, sin tocar el camino con sus pies.
3 He pursues them and passes by safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.
4 ¿Quién lo planeó y lo hizo? El que llamó a las generaciones desde el principio. Yo, el Señor, soy el primero y estoy con los últimos; yo soy él.
4 Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.”
5 Las costas lo vieron y tuvieron miedo; los confines de la tierra temblaron y se acercaron.
5 The islands have seen, and fear. The ends of the earth tremble. They approach, and come.
6 Cada uno ayudó a su vecino y dijo a su hermano: «¡Ten ánimo!».
6 Everyone helps his neighbor. They say to their brothers, “Be strong!”
7 El que trabaja el metal animó al que trabaja el oro. El que alisaba el metal con el martillo habló con bondad al herrero y dijo de la placa: «Está lista». La fijó con clavos para que no se moviera.
7 So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith. He who smooths with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, “It is good;” and he fastens it with nails, that it might not totter.
8 Pero tú, Israel, eres mi siervo; tú, Jacob, a quien he elegido, descendencia de Abraham, mi amigo.
8 “But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham my friend,
9 Te tomé de los confines de la tierra y te llamé de sus partes más lejanas. Te dije: «Eres mi siervo; te he elegido y no te he abandonado».
9 you whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from its corners, and said to you, ‘You are my servant. I have chosen you and have not cast you away.’
10 No tengas miedo, porque estoy contigo. No mires a tu alrededor con angustia, porque soy tu Dios. Te daré fuerza y te ayudaré; sí, mi mano derecha fiel te sostendrá.
10 Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Todos los que están enojados contigo serán humillados y avergonzados. Los que quieren hacerte daño quedarán en nada y nunca volverán a verse.
11 Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish.
12 Buscarás a tus enemigos, pero no estarán allí. Los que hacen la guerra contra ti serán como nada y serán destruidos.
12 You will seek them, and won’t find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing.
13 Porque yo, el Señor tu Dios, tomo tu mano derecha en la mía y te digo: «No tengas miedo; yo te ayudaré».
13 For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I will help you.’
14 No tengas miedo, gusano Jacob, hombres de Israel. Yo te ayudaré, dice el Señor, el que defiende tu causa, el Santo de Israel.
14 Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says Yahweh. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 Mira, te haré como un nuevo instrumento con dientes para triturar el grano. Triturarás las montañas y harás que las colinas sean como tallos secos.
15 Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth. You will thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and will make the hills like chaff.
16 Harás pasar el viento sobre ellas y se las llevará; el viento de tormenta las dispersará. Tú tendrás alegría en el Señor y te alegrarás en el Santo de Israel.
16 You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in Yahweh. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 Los pobres y oprimidos buscan agua donde no la hay; su lengua está seca de sed. Yo, el Señor, escucharé su oración; yo, el Dios de Israel, no los abandonaré.
17 The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, Yahweh, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
18 Haré ríos en las cumbres secas y manantiales en los valles. Convertiré la tierra desolada en un estanque y la tierra seca en manantiales de agua.
18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and springs in the middle of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
19 Pondré en la tierra desolada el cedro, la acacia, el mirto y el olivo. En la tierra baja serán plantados juntos el abeto, el plátano y el ciprés.
19 I will put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness. I will set cypress trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;
20 Así verán, entenderán y prestarán atención; todos reconocerán que la mano del Señor ha hecho esto y que el Santo de Israel lo ha creado.
20 that they may see, know, consider, and understand together, that Yahweh’s hand has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
21 Presenten su causa, dice el Señor; expongan sus argumentos más fuertes, dice el Rey de Jacob.
21 Produce your cause,” says Yahweh. “Bring out your strong reasons!” says the King of Jacob.
22 Aclárennos el futuro. Anuncien lo que pasó antes para que lo consideremos, o lo que vendrá para que veamos si es verdad.
22 “Let them announce and declare to us what will happen! Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.
23 Anuncien lo que sucederá después de esto, para que sepamos que son dioses. Hagan el bien o el mal, para que todos lo veamos y nos asombremos.
23 Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.
24 Pero ustedes no son nada y sus obras no tienen valor. Es necio el que los toma por sus dioses.
24 Behold, you are nothing, and your work is nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.
25 He llamado a uno del norte y ha venido desde donde amanece. En mi nombre reunirá a los gobernantes y actuará contra ellos. Serán como polvo, como barro que el alfarero pisa con sus pies.
25 “I have raised up one from the north, and he has come, from the rising of the sun, one who calls on my name, and he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter treads clay.
26 ¿Quién lo anunció desde el principio para que lo supiéramos? ¿Quién lo dijo desde el comienzo para que pudiéramos decir: «Su palabra es verdad»? Nadie anuncia nada, nadie habla, nadie escucha sus palabras.
26 Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and before, that we may say, ‘He is right’? Surely, there is no one who declares. Surely, there is no one who shows. Surely, there is no one who hears your words.
27 Yo fui el primero en anunciarlo a Sión y di las buenas noticias a Jerusalén.
27 I am the first to say to Zion, ‘Behold, look at them;’ and I will give one who brings good news to Jerusalem.

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).
