WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Vean a mi Siervo, a quien yo sostengo, mi elegido, en quien me deleito. En él he puesto mi Espíritu, él mostrará lo que es justicia a las naciones del mundo.
1 “Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
2 Será apacible, no gritará ni reñirá en las calles.
2 He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 No quebrará la caña maltratada, ni apagará la llama vacilante. Se encargará de que se haga plena justicia a las víctimas de injusticia,
3 He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
4 y no se dará por satisfecho hasta que la verdad y la justicia prevalezcan en toda la tierra, y hasta que las lejanas tierras de ultramar hayan puesto en él su confianza.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice on the earth, and the islands wait for his law.”
5 El Señor Dios que creó el cielo y lo extendió, y creó la tierra y cuanto hay en ella, y que da vida, aliento y espíritu a todos en el mundo, es el que dice:
5 God Yahweh, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:
6 Yo, el Señor, te he llamado para demostrar mi justicia, yo te cuidaré y te sostendré, porque te he dado a mi pueblo como confirmación personal de mi pacto con ellos. Serás también luz que guíe las naciones hacia mí.
6 “I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness. I will hold your hand. I will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations,
7 Darás vista a los ciegos y libertarás a los que yacen en prisión de tinieblas y desaliento.
7 to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
8 ¡Yo soy el Señor! Ese es mi nombre y no daré a ningún otro mi gloria, no compartiré mi alabanza con ídolos tallados.
8 “I am Yahweh. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
9 Todo lo que yo profeticé se cumplió, y ahora volveré a profetizar; te diré el futuro antes que acontezca.
9 Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”
10 Entonen un canto nuevo al Señor; entonen sus alabanzas, todos los que habitan en los más remotos rincones de la tierra. ¡Canta, oh mar! ¡Canten todos los que moran en tierras distantes de ultramar!
10 Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 Únanse al coro, ciudades del desierto: Cedar y Selá. Y ustedes también, los que moran en las cumbres de los montes.
11 Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains!
12 Que las costas del oeste glorifiquen al Señor y canten su gran poder.
12 Let them give glory to Yahweh, and declare his praise in the islands.
13 El Señor será poderoso guerrero, lleno de ira contra sus enemigos. Lanzará un fuerte grito de guerra y vencerá.
13 Yahweh will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
14 Él callaba desde hace tiempo. Se había dominado, pero ahora desatará su ira. Gemirá y llorará como mujer que da a luz.
14 “I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
15 Aplanará los montes y collados y quemará su verdor. Secará los ríos y estanques.
15 I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
16 Al ciego Israel lo conducirá por sendas que nunca antes vio. Ante ellos hará resplandecer las tinieblas, y allanará y enderezará el camino que les espera, no los abandonará.
16 I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know. I will lead them in paths that they don’t know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
17 Pero los que confían en ídolos y los llaman dioses tendrán enorme desengaño, serán desechados.
17 “Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
18 ¡Oh, qué ciegos y sordos son para con Dios! ¿Por qué no quieren escuchar? ¿Por qué no quieren ver?
18 “Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
19 ¿Quién hay en el mundo tan ciego como mi pueblo, destinado a ser mi mensajero de la verdad? ¿Quién tan ciego como mi «consagrado», el «Siervo del Señor»?
19 Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as Yahweh’s servant?
20 Ven y comprenden lo bueno, pero no hacen caso, no lo ponen por obra; oyen, pero no quieren entender.
20 You see many things, but don’t observe. His ears are open, but he doesn’t listen.
21 El Señor ha enaltecido su ley y la ha hecho verdaderamente gloriosa. Mediante ella había planeado mostrarle al mundo que él es justo.
21 It pleased Yahweh, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law and make it honorable.
22 ¡Pero qué espectáculo da su pueblo, los encargados de mostrarle a todo el mundo la gloria de su ley, pues son víctimas de robo y están esclavizados, encarcelados, atrapados, presa de todos, sin quién los proteja!
22 But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become captives, and no one delivers, and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
23 ¿No hay entre ustedes siquiera uno que saque enseñanzas de estas lecciones del pasado y vea la ruina que les espera?
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
24 ¿Quién permitió que a Israel se le robara y dañara? ¿No fue el Señor? Fue el Señor contra el cual pecaron, porque no quisieron ir a donde él los enviaba ni escuchar sus leyes.
24 Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Didn’t Yahweh, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
25 Por eso derramó el Señor tan grande furia e ira sobre su pueblo y lo destruyó en batalla. Sin embargo, aun sobre el fuego y quemándose, no entienden el porqué: ¡Está Dios deseoso de que se arrepientan!
25 Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle. It set him on fire all around, but he didn’t know. It burned him, but he didn’t take it to heart.”

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).
… for the Lord hath spoken." And again: "Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven, and stretched it out; who established the earth, and the things in it; and who giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them who walk therein."
He shall shine and shall not be broken, until He sets judgment in the earth: and the nations shall hope in His name." The Hebrew has not "Jacob" and "Israel;" but the Septuagint translators, wishing to show the significance of the expression "my servant," and that it refers to the form of a servant in which the Most High humbled …

A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench, till He send forth judgment unto victory. And in His name shall the Gentiles trust." The prophet celebrates His meekness, and His unspeakable power, and opens to the Gentiles "a great door and effectual;" he foretells also the ills that are to overtake the Jews, and …

… it seeth Him not,...but ye know Him; for he dwelleth with you." And so says Isaiah;--"He that spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and Spirit to them that trample on it"; for they that trample down earthly things and rise above them are borne witness …

… in a more gentle manner; and the Lord's advent as a man was pointed out, that it should be subsequent to that law which was given by Moses, mild and tranquil, in which He would neither break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax. The mild and peaceful repose of His kingdom was indicated likewise.
