1 Este es el mensaje del Señor para Ciro, ungido de Dios, a quien ha elegido para que conquiste muchas tierras. Dios dará poder a su mano derecha y él aplastará la fortaleza de poderosos reyes. Dios le abrirá las puertas de Babilonia, y las puertas no se le cerrarán más.
1 Yahweh says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
2 Yo iré delante de ti, Ciro, y allanaré los montes y derribaré las puertas de bronce y los barrotes de hierro.
2 “I will go before you and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces and cut apart the bars of iron.
3 Y te daré tesoros que se ocultan en lugares oscuros, riquezas secretas, y tú sabrás que yo lo hago. Yo, el Señor, el Dios de Israel, es el que te llama por tu nombre.
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.
4 ¿Y por qué te he nombrado para esta obra? Por amor de Jacob, mi siervo; de Israel, mi elegido. Yo te llamé por tu nombre cuando no me conocías.
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though you have not known me.
5 Yo soy el Señor, y no hay otro Dios. Ya te fortaleceré y te enviaré a la victoria aunque no me conozcas,
5 I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me,
6 y todo el mundo desde el oriente hasta el occidente sabrá que no hay otro Dios. Yo soy el Señor y no hay ningún otro, sólo yo soy Dios.
6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
7 Yo formo la luz y hago las tinieblas. Yo envío los buenos tiempos y los malos. Yo, el Señor, soy el que hace esto.
7 I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
8 Ábrase el cielo, derrame el cielo su justicia. Germinen unidas en la tierra la salvación y la justicia. Yo, el Señor, las creé.
8 Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Yahweh, have created it.
9 ¡Ay del ser humano que lucha contra su Creador! ¿Acaso discute la vasija con su hacedor? ¿Disputa la arcilla con quien le da forma, diciéndole: «¡Alto, te has equivocado!»? ¿O exclama la vasija: «¡Qué torpe eres!»?
9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands’?
10 ¡Ay del recién nacido que les grita a su padre y a su madre: «¿Por qué me han engendrado? ¿No saben hacer bien nada?»!
10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
11 El Señor, el Santo de Israel, el Creador de Israel, dice: ¿Quién eres tú para darme órdenes respecto de la obra de mis manos?
11 Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
12 Yo hice la tierra y creé al ser humano en ella. Con mis propias manos extendí el cielo y ordené las incontables miríadas de estrellas.
12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.
13 Yo levanté a Ciro para que cumpla mi justo propósito, y yo dirigiré todas sus sendas. Él restaurará mi ciudad y librará a mi pueblo cautivo, y no lo hará por recompensa.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.
14 El Señor dice: Los egipcios, etíopes y sabeos estarán sujetos a ti. Acudirán a ti con todas sus mercancías, las cuales te pertenecerán. Irán tras ti como prisioneros en cadenas y se postrarán de rodillas ante ti diciendo: «¡El único Dios que hay, es tu Dios!».
14 Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.
15 Ciertamente, oh Dios de Israel, Salvador, te manifiestas en formas misteriosas y extrañas.
15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”
16 Todos los que adoran ídolos se verán desengañados y avergonzados,
16 They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
17 pero Israel será salvado por el Señor con eterna salvación; jamás sufrirán desengaño de su Dios por toda la eternidad.
17 Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
18 Porque el Señor creó el cielo y la tierra y lo puso todo en su sitio, e hizo el mundo para que fuera habitado, y no un caos vacío. Yo soy el Señor, dice él, y no hay otro.
18 For Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am Yahweh. There is no other.
19 Nunca hablo en secreto, ni murmuro palabras en algún rincón oscuro. ¡No le dije a Israel que me pidiera lo que no pensaba darle! ¡No, porque yo, el Señor, hablo solamente verdad y justicia!
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
20 Reúnanse y vengan, naciones que escapan de la mano de Ciro. ¡Qué insensatos son los que andan con ídolos de madera y oran a dioses que no pueden salvar!
20 “Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t save.
21 Consulten entre ustedes, argumenten su causa. ¿Quién sino Dios dijo que todo esto se cumpliría? Porque no hay Dios sino yo, Dios justo y Salvador. No, ¡no hay ni uno!
21 Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is no one besides me.
22 Alce a mí los ojos el mundo entero en busca de salvación, porque yo soy Dios, y no hay otro.
22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23 Por mí mismo he jurado y jamás me retractaré, porque mi palabra es verdad, anuncio que toda rodilla en el mundo se doblará ante mí, y toda lengua jurará lealtad a mi nombre.
23 I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
24 «En el Señor reside toda mi justicia y fortaleza», dirá todo el pueblo. Y todos los que contra él estaban enojados, acudirán a él avergonzados.
24 They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
25 En el Señor todas las generaciones de Israel serán declaradas justas, y triunfarán.
25 All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh, and will rejoice!

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 is what has been spoken by the prophet, "I am a jealous God, making peace, and creating evil things;" thus making peace and friendship with those who repent and turn to Him, and bringing [them to] unity, but preparing for the impenitent, those who shun the light, eternal fire and outer darkness, which are evils indeed to those …
Wherefore He says to it by Isaiah, "I am the Lord that formed thee." It is indeed descended from heaven from its commencement, since its citizens during the course of this world grow by the grace of God, which cometh down from above through the laver of regeneration in the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.

And again, "I," saith He, "make peace, and create evils:" For neither in this place doth He speak of wickedness, but of famines, and pestilences, things accounted evil by most men: the generality being wont to call these things evil.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 10 (1888)
If thou findest fault with Him who saith, I am God that make peace, and create evil, explain how Jesus saith, I came not to send peace but a sword.
