WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Escúchenme todos los que aman la justicia y buscan al Señor! Tengan en cuenta la cantera de que fueron sacados, la roca de donde fueron labrados.
1 “Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.
2 Sí, piensen en sus antepasados Abraham y Sara, de los cuales provienen. Se angustian por ser tan pocos y tan pequeños, pero Abraham era solamente uno cuando yo lo llamé. Pero cuando yo lo bendije, se convirtió en una gran nación.
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, I blessed him, and made him many.
3 De igual modo, el Señor bendecirá nuevamente a Israel y hará florecer sus desiertos, sus páramos serán tan hermosos como el huerto de Edén. Allí reinarán el gozo y la alegría, la acción de gracias y los hermosos cánticos.
3 For Yahweh has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 ¡Escúchame, pueblo mío; escucha, oh Israel, porque yo haré que el bien triunfe!
4 “Listen to me, my people; and hear me, my nation, for a law will go out from me, and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.
5 Mi justicia vendrá pronto, mi salvación está en camino. Yo gobernaré a las naciones, ellas me esperarán y anhelarán mi venida.
5 My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The islands will wait for me, and they will trust my arm.
6 Mira al alto cielo, y fíjate en la tierra abajo, porque el cielo se desvanecerá como humo, la tierra se gastará como vestidura, y el pueblo de la tierra morirá como moscas. Pero mi salvación y mi justicia permanecerán para siempre.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.
7 ¡Escúchenme, los que disciernen entre el bien y el mal y en su corazón aman mis leyes: no teman a las mofas ni calumnias del populacho!
7 “Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.
8 Porque la polilla los consumirá como a vestiduras, el gusano se los comerá como a lana, pero mi justicia y misericordia serán para siempre, y mi salvación para toda su descendencia.
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
9 ¡Despierta, oh Señor! ¡Levántate y vístete con tu manto de fortaleza! ¡Álzate como antaño, cuando destruiste a los egipcios!
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
10 ¿No eres acaso hoy el mismo, el potente Dios que secó el mar, por el medio del cual abrió senda para sus liberados?
10 Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11 Llegará el día cuando todos los redimidos de Dios regresarán a su patria. Volverán a Jerusalén con cánticos y llenos de gozo y de alegría sin fin; y el dolor y el luto habrán acabado para siempre.
11 Those ransomed by Yahweh will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12 Yo, sí, yo soy el que te conforta y te da todo este gozo. Así pues, ¿por qué temer a los simples mortales que cual la hierba se marchitan y desaparecen?
12 “I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who will be made as grass?
13 Y sin embargo, te has olvidado de tu Creador, del que extendió los cielos e hizo la tierra. No le teman al que con furia quiere destruirlos. Ante mí, su furia desparece de inmediato.
13 Have you forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth? Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepares to destroy? Where is the fury of the oppressor?
14 Pronto, muy pronto ustedes los esclavos serán liberados. Las prisiones, el hambre y la muerte no son su destino.
14 The captive exile will speedily be freed. He will not die and go down into the pit. His bread won’t fail.
15 Porque yo soy el Señor Dios de ustedes, el Señor Todopoderoso, que para ustedes abrió senda seca a través del mar, entre las ondas rugientes.
15 For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. Yahweh of Armies is his name.
16 Y yo he puesto en sus labios mis palabras y les he dado seguro refugio dentro de mi mano. Yo puse las estrellas en su sitio y modelé toda la tierra. Yo soy quien dice a Israel: «Tú eres mío».
16 I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
17 ¡Despierta, despierta, Jerusalén! Ya sufriste demasiado la furia del Señor. ¡Has sufrido tanto que ya ni puedes levantarte!
17 Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
18 Ni uno de tus hijos quedó con vida para ayudarte ni indicarte qué debes hacer.
18 There is no one to guide her among all the sons to whom she has given birth; and there is no one who takes her by the hand among all the sons whom she has brought up.
19 Estos dos males te han tocado en suerte: desolación y destrucción. Sí, hambre y espada. ¿Y quién ha quedado para compadecerte? ¿Quién ha quedado para consolarte?
19 These two things have happened to you— who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword. How can I comfort you?
20 Porque tus hijos, sin fuerzas, están tirados por las calles, indefensos como venados atrapados en la red. Contra ti ha derramado el Señor su furia y reprensión.
20 Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of Yahweh’s wrath, the rebuke of your God.
21 Pero escuchen esto, ustedes habitantes de Jerusalén que viven tambaleándose de dolor y aflicción, esto dice el Señor,
21 Therefore now hear this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
22 el Señor su Dios, el mismo que defiende a su pueblo: ¡Ya no volveré a tratarlos con ira, ni a castigarlos con severidad! ¡Todo eso se ha terminado!
22 Your Lord Yahweh, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not drink it any more.
23 Sí, en cambio, castigaré con la misma severidad a quienes los atormentaron a ustedes y los pisotearon, y pasaron marchando sobre sus espaldas.
23 I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, like a street to those who walk over.”

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).
But my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not pass away." Chapter IV.--Answer to another objection, showing that the destruction of Jerusalem, which was the city of the great King, diminished nothing from the supreme majesty and power of God, for that this destruction was put in execution by the most wise counsel of the same God.
For it is written they say, "As the moth consumes the garment, and the worm the wood, so does grief consume the heart of a man." But they who make no doubt that in that future punishment both body and soul shall suffer, affirm that the body shall be burned with fire, while the soul shall be, as it were, …
