Isaiah 47 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 Ven y siéntate en el polvo, hija virgen de Babilonia. Baja de tu asiento de poder y siéntate en el suelo, hija de los caldeos. Ya nunca parecerás suave y delicada.
1 “Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer be called tender and delicate.
2 Toma las piedras de moler y muele el grano. Quítate el velo, aparta tu túnica, descubre las piernas y cruza los ríos.
2 Take the millstones and grind flour. Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs, and wade through the rivers.
3 Todos verán la vergüenza de tu desnudez. Castigaré sin misericordia,
3 Your nakedness will be uncovered. Yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.”
4 dice el Señor, que defiende nuestra causa. Su nombre es Señor de los ejércitos, el Santo de Israel.
4 Our Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies is his name, is the Holy One of Israel.
5 Siéntate en la oscuridad, sin decir palabra, hija de los caldeos. Ya no te llamarán Reina de los Reinos.
5 “Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer be called the mistress of kingdoms.
6 Me enojé con mi pueblo, avergoncé a mi herencia y los entregué en tus manos. No tuviste misericordia de ellos; pusiste un yugo cruel sobre los ancianos.
6 I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance and gave them into your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
7 Dijiste: «Seré reina para siempre». No prestaste atención a estas cosas ni recordaste lo que vendría después.
7 You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.
8 Ahora escucha esto, tú que vives entregada al placer y sin temor al mal. Dices en tu corazón: «Yo soy y no hay nadie como yo. Nunca seré viuda ni me quitarán a mis hijos».
8 “Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’
9 Pero las dos cosas te llegarán de repente, en un solo día: perderás a tus hijos y a tu esposo. Te llegarán por completo, con todas tus artes secretas y todas tus maravillas.
9 But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
10 Confiabas en tu maldad y decías: «Nadie me ve». Tu sabiduría y tu conocimiento te han desviado, y has dicho en tu corazón: «Yo soy y no hay otra».
10 For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
11 Por eso vendrá sobre ti un mal que no podrás apartar por ningún precio. Te alcanzará una angustia de la que ningún dinero podrá salvarte. La destrucción vendrá de repente, sin que lo sepas.
11 Therefore disaster will come on you. You won’t know when it dawns. Mischief will fall on you. You won’t be able to put it away. Desolation will come on you suddenly, which you don’t understand.
12 Sigue ahora con tus artes secretas y todas tus maravillas, a las que te has dedicado desde tus primeros días. Tal vez te sirvan de algo o asusten a tus atacantes.
12 “Stand now with your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might prevail.
13 Tu mente está angustiada por tantos consejeros. Que vengan ahora a salvarte los que miden los cielos, los que observan las estrellas y los que anuncian mes a mes lo que te sucederá.
13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.
14 Se han vuelto como tallos secos quemados en el fuego. No pueden salvarse del poder de la llama. No es una brasa para calentarse ni un fuego junto al que alguien pueda sentarse.
14 Behold, they are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It won’t be a coal to warm at or a fire to sit by.
15 Poco beneficio has recibido de quienes sacaron grandes ganancias de ti desde tus primeros días. Han huido, cada uno por su camino, y no tienes quien te salve.
15 The things that you labored in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you.

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).
… heed, pray, to astrologers; for of these the divine Scripture saith, Let the stargazers of the heaven stand up and save thee, and what follows: Behold, they all shall be consumed as stubble on the fire, and shall not deliver their soul from the flame.
