Isaiah 44 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 Ahora escucha, Jacob, mi siervo, Israel, a quien he elegido.
1 Yet listen now, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen.
2 El Señor, que te hizo y te formó en el cuerpo de tu madre, el Señor que te ayuda, dice: No tengas miedo, Jacob, mi siervo, Jesurún, a quien he elegido.
2 This is what Yahweh who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 Enviaré agua a la tierra que la necesita y corrientes a la tierra seca. Haré descender mi Espíritu sobre tu descendencia y mi bendición sobre tus hijos.
3 For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring;
4 Brotarán como hierba en un campo bien regado, como plantas acuáticas junto a las corrientes.
4 and they will spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
5 Uno dirá: «Soy del Señor»; otro se llamará Jacob; otro marcará en su mano: «Soy del Señor», y otro tomará para sí el nombre de Israel.
5 One will say, ‘I am Yahweh’s.’ Another will be called by the name of Jacob; and another will write with his hand ‘to Yahweh,’ and honor the name of Israel.”
6 El Señor, Rey de Israel, el Señor de los ejércitos que defiende su causa, dice: Yo soy el primero y el último; no hay Dios fuera de mí.
6 This is what Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies, says: “I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.
7 Si hay alguien como yo, que se presente y lo diga; que lo explique y lo exponga en orden ante mí. ¿Quién anunció antes las cosas que vendrían? Que me explique el futuro.
7 Who is like me? Who will call, and will declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them declare the things that are coming, and that will happen.
8 No tengan miedo, tengan ánimo. ¿No se lo expliqué antes y se lo mostré? Ustedes son mis testigos. ¿Hay algún Dios fuera de mí o una Roca que yo no conozca?
8 Don’t fear, neither be afraid. Haven’t I declared it to you long ago, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don’t know any other Rock.”
9 Todos los que hacen imágenes son como nada. Las cosas que desean no les traerán beneficio. Sus servidores no ven ni entienden; por eso serán avergonzados.
9 Everyone who makes a carved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.
10 El que hace un dios solo hace una imagen de metal que no sirve para nada.
10 Who has fashioned a god, or molds an image that is profitable for nothing?
11 Todos los que practican artes secretas serán avergonzados, y sus palabras de poder son solo palabras humanas. Que se presenten todos juntos; todos tendrán miedo y serán avergonzados.
11 Behold, all his fellows will be disappointed; and the workmen are mere men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up. They will fear. They will be put to shame together.
12 El herrero calienta el metal en el fuego, lo moldea con sus martillos y lo trabaja con su brazo fuerte. Pero cuando le falta comida pierde las fuerzas, y cuando le falta agua se debilita.
12 The blacksmith takes an ax, works in the coals, fashions it with hammers, and works it with his strong arm. He is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is faint.
13 El carpintero mide la madera con su cuerda y la marca con su lápiz. La alisa con el cepillo y traza círculos con su instrumento. Le da la forma y la belleza de un hombre para colocarla en la casa.
13 The carpenter stretches out a line. He marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes. He marks it out with compasses, and shapes it like the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to reside in a house.
14 Hace cortar cedros para sí, toma un roble y lo deja crecer fuerte entre los árboles del bosque. Planta un fresno y la lluvia lo hace crecer.
14 He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one among the trees of the forest. He plants a cypress tree, and the rain nourishes it.
15 La madera sirve para hacer fuego y calentarse; con ella calienta el horno y hace pan. También hace un dios con ella y lo adora; hace una imagen y se postra ante ella.
15 Then it will be for a man to burn; and he takes some of it and warms himself. Yes, he burns it and bakes bread. Yes, he makes a god and worships it; he makes it a carved image, and falls down to it.
16 Con una parte enciende fuego, cocina carne y come hasta quedar satisfecho. Se calienta y dice: «¡Ah, ya tengo calor! He visto el fuego».
16 He burns part of it in the fire. With part of it, he eats meat. He roasts a roast and is satisfied. Yes, he warms himself and says, “Aha! I am warm. I have seen the fire.”
17 Con el resto hace un dios, su imagen. Se postra ante ella, la adora y le ora: «Sálvame, porque tú eres mi dios».
17 The rest of it he makes into a god, even his engraved image. He bows down to it and worships, and prays to it, and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”
18 No saben ni entienden, porque él ha puesto un velo sobre sus ojos para que no vean, y sobre sus corazones para que no presten atención.
18 They don’t know, neither do they consider, for he has shut their eyes, that they can’t see, and their hearts, that they can’t understand.
19 Nadie reflexiona ni tiene suficiente conocimiento o sabiduría para decir: «Quemé una parte e hice pan con ella; comí carne cocinada con esa madera. ¿Y ahora haré un dios falso con el resto? ¿Me postraré ante un trozo de madera?».
19 No one thinks, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, “I have burned part of it in the fire. Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals. I have roasted meat and eaten it. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”
20 El que se alimenta de las cenizas tiene una mente torcida que lo ha desviado. No puede salvarse diciendo: «Lo que tengo en mi mano es falso».
20 He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can’t deliver his soul, nor say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”
21 Recuerda estas cosas, Jacob, e Israel, porque eres mi siervo. Yo te hice; eres mi siervo. Israel, no dejaré que salgas de mi memoria.
21 Remember these things, Jacob and Israel, for you are my servant. I have formed you. You are my servant. Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22 He borrado de mi memoria tus malas acciones, como una nube espesa, y tus pecados, como niebla. Vuelve a mí, porque he defendido tu causa.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
23 Canten, cielos, porque el Señor lo ha hecho. Griten, profundidades de la tierra; montañas y bosques con todos sus árboles, canten con fuerza. El Señor ha defendido la causa de Jacob y mostrará su gloria en Israel.
23 Sing, you heavens, for Yahweh has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for Yahweh has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.
24 El Señor, que defiende tu causa y te dio vida en el cuerpo de tu madre, dice: Yo soy el Señor, que hace todas las cosas. Extendí los cielos yo solo y di a la tierra sus límites. ¿Quién estaba conmigo?
24 Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb says: “I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;
25 Yo hago que queden en nada las señales de los que anuncian el futuro y que enloquezcan los que conocen las artes secretas. Hago retroceder a los sabios y convierto su conocimiento en necedad.
25 who frustrates the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad; who turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;
26 Confirmo la palabra de mis servidores y cumplo los planes de mis representantes. Digo de Jerusalén: «Su pueblo volverá a ella», y de las ciudades de Judá: «Ordenaré que las construyan y haré fértiles de nuevo sus lugares desolados».
26 who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited;’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be built,’ and ‘I will raise up its waste places;’
27 Digo a las profundidades: «Séquense», y secaré tus ríos.
27 who says to the deep, ‘Be dry,’ and ‘I will dry up your rivers,’
28 Digo de Ciro: «Cuidará de mis ovejas y hará todo lo que yo quiera». Digo de Jerusalén: «Daré la orden para que seas construida», y del templo: «Tus cimientos serán puestos en su lugar».
28 who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure,’ even saying of Jerusalem, ‘She will be built;’ and of the temple, ‘Your foundation will be laid.’”

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).
And this shall come to pass through the loving-kindness of God, who says to you, Behold, I will blot out as a cloud thy transgressions, and as a thick cloud thy sins.

However, a time will come, when all shall be consumed by fire; as Isaiah says of the God of the universe in these words, "That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers." Reject then the foolish wisdom of this world, and receive with me the more simple but infallible doctrine of truth.
