WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Mueren los buenos, perecen los justos antes de tiempo sin que nadie parezca preocuparse o preguntarse la razón. Nadie pareciera darse cuenta de que Dios los aleja de los malos días que vendrán.
1 The righteous perish, and no one lays it to heart. Merciful men are taken away, and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
2 Porque los justos que mueren descansarán en paz.
2 He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
3 Pero ustedes, ¡vengan acá, hijos de brujas, descendientes de adúlteros y prostitutas!
3 “But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
4 ¿De quién se burlan haciendo muecas y sacando la lengua? ¡Hijos de pecadores y embusteros!
4 Whom do you mock? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out your tongue? Aren’t you children of disobedience and offspring of falsehood,
5 Debajo de los robles y de todo árbol frondoso tienen relaciones sexuales para adorar a los falsos dioses, y junto a los arroyos y en las cuevas de las rocas sacrifican a sus hijos como ofrenda en su honor.
5 you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Sus dioses son las piedras lisas de los valles, a las que adoran. A ellas les llevan vino y cereales como ofrenda. ¡Bien saben que toda esta conducta me llena de tristeza y enojo!
6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion. They, they are your lot. You have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
7 En lo alto de los montes ponen sus camas, porque allí han adorado ídolos.
7 On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
8 Tras las puertas cerradas han colocado sus ídolos y han adorado a otros dioses y no a mí. Esto es adulterio, porque entregan su amor a estos ídolos en vez de amarme a mí.
8 You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts, for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me, and have gone up. You have enlarged your bed and made a covenant for yourself with them. You loved what you saw on their bed.
9 Han llevado agradable incienso y perfume como ofrenda al dios Moloc. Han ido lejos, hasta el infierno mismo, en busca de nuevos dioses a quienes amar.
9 You went to the king with oil, increased your perfumes, sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol.
10 Se fatigan en su búsqueda, pero jamás cesan en su empeño, cobran fuerzas y prosiguen.
10 You were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint.
11 ¿Por qué les tienen más temor a esos dioses que a mí? ¿Por qué no me consagran ni la sobra de un recuerdo? ¿Será porque he sido demasiado bueno, y por eso no me temen?
11 “Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven’t I held my peace for a long time, and you don’t fear me?
12 Y luego vienen con su «justicia» y sus «buenas obras», ninguna de las cuales los salvará.
12 I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
13 Ya verán que nada ni nadie en toda la gran colección de ídolos que tienen podrá ayudarlos cuando clamen pidiéndoles salvación. ¡Tan débiles son, que el viento puede llevárselos! Un soplo puede arrastrarlos. Pero todo el que confía en mí poseerá la tierra y heredará mi santo monte.
13 When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you, but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away, but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”
14 Yo diré: ¡Reconstruyan el camino, aparten rocas y piedras, preparen un glorioso camino para mi pueblo que regresa del cautiverio!
14 He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
15 El que es alto y excelso y habita la eternidad, aquel cuyo nombre es santo, dice así: Yo moro en aquel elevado y santo sitio, pero también estoy donde habitan los pobres y los afligidos, y a ellos les doy ánimo y aliento.
15 For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 Porque no lucharé contra ustedes para siempre, ni para siempre les mostraré mi enojo. Si así fuera, perecería todo lo que tiene vida en este mundo.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.
17 Estuve airado y herí a estos hombres codiciosos, pero ellos continuaron pecando, haciendo cuanto su malvado corazón anhelaba.
17 I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him. I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
18 He visto lo que hacen, y sin embargo los sanaré, guiaré y consolaré, ayudándoles a llorar por sus pecados y a confesarlos.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
19 ¡La paz, la paz esté con ellos, los cercanos y los lejanos, pues a todos los sanaré!
19 I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says Yahweh; “and I will heal them.”
20 Pero los que aún me rechazan son como mar embravecido que jamás se aquieta, y sus olas arrastran lodo y suciedad.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.
21 ¡Para ellos no hay paz!, dice mi Dios.
21 “There is no peace”, says my God, “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).
He says, "For behold how the just man perishes, and no man considers it; and righteous men are taken away, and no man layeth it to heart." These things were acted beforehand in Abel, were also previously declared by the prophets, but were accomplished in the Lord's person; and the same [is still true] with regard to us, the body …
So that the Prophet in amazement speaks of this too, Against whom have ye opened your mouth, and against whom have ye let loose your tongue?

For as a man is said to "perish," according to that which is written, Behold, how the righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and this, though the resurrection is looked for; so we look for a resurrection, as it were, of the heavens also.
