Isaiah 48 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 Escuchen esto, familia de Jacob, ustedes que llevan el nombre de Israel y descienden de Judá. Juran por el nombre del Señor y usan el nombre del Dios de Israel, pero sin verdad ni buena fe.
1 “Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah. You swear by Yahweh’s name, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness—
2 Dicen que son de la ciudad santa y confían en el Dios de Israel, cuyo nombre es Señor de los ejércitos.
2 for they call themselves citizens of the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel; Yahweh of Armies is his name.
3 Anuncié antes las cosas que sucedieron; salieron de mi boca y las expliqué. De repente las hice y sucedieron.
3 I have declared the former things from of old. Yes, they went out of my mouth, and I revealed them. I did them suddenly, and they happened.
4 Vi que tu corazón era duro, que tu cuello era una cuerda de hierro y tu frente era de bronce.
4 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
5 Por eso te lo expliqué antes de que sucediera. Te lo anuncié para que no dijeras: «Mi dios hizo estas cosas; mis imágenes y mis figuras de metal las hicieron suceder».
5 therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them. My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’
6 Has oído y visto todo esto. ¿No darás testimonio de ello? Ahora te explico cosas nuevas, cosas secretas que no conocías.
6 You have heard it. Now see all this. And you, won’t you declare it? “I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
7 Solo ahora han sido hechas, no en el pasado. Antes de hoy no las habías oído, para que no dijeras: «Ya las sabía».
7 They are created now, and not from of old. Before today, you didn’t hear them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
8 No habías oído ni sabías nada de ellas; antes no te había llegado ninguna noticia. Porque vi tu conducta falsa y que tu corazón estaba contra mí desde tus primeros días.
8 Yes, you didn’t hear. Yes, you didn’t know. Yes, from of old your ear was not opened, for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
9 Por mi nombre apartaré mi ira y por mi alabanza me contendré para no destruirte.
9 For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger, and for my praise, I hold it back for you so that I don’t cut you off.
10 Mira, te he probado para mí como a la plata; te he hecho pasar por el fuego de la angustia.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11 Por mí mismo, por mi nombre, lo haré, porque no dejaré que mi nombre sea avergonzado y no daré mi gloria a otro.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it; for how would my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.
12 Escúchame, Jacob, Israel, mi amado. Yo soy él, yo soy el primero y el último.
12 “Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.
13 Mi mano puso la tierra sobre su base y mi mano derecha extendió los cielos. Cuando hablo, ellos toman sus lugares.
13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. when I call to them, they stand up together.
14 Reúnanse todos y escuchen. ¿Quién de ustedes ha anunciado estas cosas? El amado del Señor hará lo que él quiere con Babilonia y con la descendencia de los caldeos.
14 “Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? He whom Yahweh loves will do what he likes to Babylon, and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.
15 Yo, yo he hablado y lo he llamado. Lo he hecho venir y he dado cumplimiento a sus obras.
15 I, even I, have spoken. Yes, I have called him. I have brought him and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 Acérquense a mí y escuchen esto. Desde el principio no lo mantuve en secreto; desde que comenzó a existir, yo estaba allí. Ahora el Señor Dios me ha enviado y me ha dado su Espíritu.
16 “Come near to me and hear this: “From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it happened, I was there.” Now the Lord Yahweh has sent me with his Spirit.
17 El Señor, que defiende tu causa, el Santo de Israel, dice: Yo soy el Señor tu Dios, que te enseña para tu bien y te guía por el camino que debes seguir.
17 Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: “I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
18 ¡Si hubieras escuchado mis órdenes! Tu paz habría sido como un río y tu justicia como las olas del mar.
18 Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Tu descendencia habría sido como la arena y tus hijos como el polvo. Tu nombre no habría sido borrado ni habría desaparecido ante mí.
19 Your offspring also would have been as the sand and the descendants of your body like its grains. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.”
20 Salgan de Babilonia, huyan de los caldeos. Anúncienlo cantando, den la noticia hasta los confines de la tierra. Digan: «El Señor ha defendido la causa de su siervo Jacob».
20 Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With the sound of joyful shouting announce this, tell it even to the end of the earth; say, “Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
21 No les faltó agua cuando los guiaba por las tierras desoladas. Hizo brotar agua de la roca para ellos; partió la roca y el agua salió corriendo.
21 They didn’t thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock and the waters gushed out.
22 No hay paz para los malvados, dice el Señor.
22 “There is no peace”, says Yahweh, “for the wicked.”

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 now the Lord God and His Spirit hath sent me." It was Himself who was speaking as the Lord God; and yet we should not have understood that it was Jesus Christ had He not added, "And now the Lord God and His Spirit hath sent me." For He said this with reference to the form of a servant, …

And Isaiah, "The Lord God and His Spirit hath sent me," and "the Spirit came down from the Lord and guided them." And pray do not again understand by this guidance some humble service, for the Word witnesses that it was the work of God;--"Thou leddest thy people," it is said "like a flock," and "Thou that leadest Joseph like …

For through the union in subsistence the flesh is said to be deified and to become God and to be equally God with the Word; and God the Word is said to be made flesh, and to become man, and is called creature and last: not in the sense that the two natures are converted into one compound nature …

"For I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me; for He will speak peace unto His people." But "There is no peace," saith the Lord, "to the wicked." "I was dumb, and opened not my mouth; because it is Thou that madest me." Was this the reason that thou openedst not thy mouth, "because God made thee"?

For men are elated by these things, and mad with a kind of joy: but "there is no joy, saith the Lord, unto the wicked." There is a sort of joyfulness which the ear of man hath not heard, nor his eye seen, nor hath it entered into his heart to conceive.
