WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Ay de ustedes, asirios, que lo han destruido todo a su alrededor sin haber sufrido jamás en carne propia la destrucción! ¡Exigen que otros cumplan lo que les prometen, y ustedes los traicionan! Ahora les toca a ustedes ser traicionados y destruidos.
1 Woe to you who destroy, but you weren’t destroyed, and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have finished betrayal, you will be betrayed.
2 ¡Pero a nosotros, oh Señor, muéstranos misericordia, porque en ti hemos confiado! Sé nuestra fuerza cada día y nuestro auxilio cuando sobrevenga la tribulación.
2 Yahweh, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3 Al escuchar tu voz huye el enemigo; cuando tú te alzas, se desbandan las naciones.
3 At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
4 Como las langostas despojan las eras y las viñas, despojará Jerusalén al derrotado ejército de Asiria.
4 Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
5 Excelso es el Señor, quien tiene su morada en el cielo. Él convertirá a Jerusalén en hogar de justicia, bondad y rectitud.
5 Yahweh is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 Hay para Judá abundancia de salvación guardada en lugar seguro, junto con sabiduría, conocimiento y reverencia a Dios.
6 There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.
7 Pero ahora sus embajadores lloran con amargo desengaño, porque Asiria ha rechazado su clamor de paz.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 Sus caminos están arruinados, los viajeros se desvían por caminos apartados. Los asirios han quebrantado su pacto de paz, y nada les importan las promesas hechas en presencia de testigos; a nadie respetan.
8 The highways are desolate. The traveling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He doesn’t respect man.
9 Hay tribulación en toda la tierra de Israel; el Líbano ha sido destruido; Sarón se ha vuelto un desierto; Basán y el Carmelo han sido saqueados.
9 The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
10 Pero el Señor Dios dice: Yo me levantaré y demostraré mi poder y fuerza.
10 “Now I will arise,” says Yahweh. “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11 Nada ganarán ustedes los asirios con todos sus esfuerzos, su propio aliento se volverá fuego que los consumirá.
11 You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12 Sus ejércitos arderán y serán reducidos a cal, como si fueran espinos cortados y echados al fuego.
12 The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
13 ¡Escuchen lo hecho por mí, oh naciones lejanas! ¡Y ustedes las cercanas, reconozcan mi poderío!
13 Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
14 Los pecadores de mi pueblo tiemblan de miedo. «¿Cuál de nosotros», claman, «podrá vivir así en presencia de este consumidor Fuego Eterno?».
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
15 Les voy a decir quién puede vivir aquí: todas las personas honradas y justas que rehúsan obtener ganancias mediante fraude, que refrenan sus manos de recibir soborno, que se niegan a confabular con quienes planean homicidios, que cierran los ojos a todo lo que los atraiga al mal.
15 He who walks righteously and speaks blamelessly, he who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
16 Las personas que sean así morarán en lo alto. Las rocas de los montes serán sus seguras fortalezas, obtendrán alimento y tendrán toda el agua que necesiten.
16 he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
17 Sus ojos verán al Rey en su belleza, y a los montes celestiales en la lejanía.
17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
18 Y su corazón recordará los tiempos de terror cuando los oficiales asirios desde fuera de las murallas contaban sus torres y calculaban cuánto botín obtendrían de su ciudad caída.
18 Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
19 Pronto se habrán ido. Este pueblo fiero y violento que habla una jerga incomprensible, desaparecerá.
19 You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can’t comprehend, with a strange language that you can’t understand.
20 Verás en cambio a Jerusalén en paz, sitio en que se adora a Dios, ciudad tranquila y firme.
20 Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won’t be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 El glorioso Señor nos será como amplio río de protección, que ningún enemigo podrá atravesar.
21 But there Yahweh will be with us in majesty, a place of wide rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
22 Porque el Señor es nuestro juez, nuestro legislador y nuestro rey. Él nos cuidará y nos librará.
22 For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.
23 Caídas están las velas de los enemigos, en mástiles quebrados y jarcias inútiles. El pueblo de Dios se repartirá los tesoros de ellos; hasta los cojos obtendrán su parte del botín.
23 Your rigging is untied. They couldn’t strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn’t spread the sail. Then the prey of a great plunder was divided. The lame took the prey.
24 El pueblo de Israel ya no dirá: «Estamos enfermos y desesperados», porque el Señor les perdonará sus pecados y los bendecirá.
24 The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.

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).
… them because He loves them, and will spare them: He will Himself set them free." And that He should Himself become very man, visible, when He should be the Word giving salvation, Isaiah again says: "Behold, city of Zion: thine eyes shall see our salvation." And that it was not a mere man who died for us, Isaiah says: "And …
