WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 El cielo es mi trono y la tierra es apoyo para mis pies. ¿Qué templo semejante a este pueden construirme ustedes?
1 Yahweh says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I rest?
2 Mis manos hicieron la tierra y el cielo, los cuales son míos. Pero siento inclinación por el hombre de corazón humilde y contrito, que tiene reverencia ante mi palabra.
2 For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
3 Pero los que eligen sus propios caminos deleitándose en sus pecados, son malditos. Dios no aceptará sus ofrendas. Cuando se hagan esa clase de sacrificios en el altar de Dios, Dios los rechazará. Si sacrifican un cordero o traen una ofrenda de grano, es tan aborrecible para Dios como poner un perro o sangre de puercos sobre su altar. Cuando le queman incienso, él lo considera como si estuvieran adorando a un ídolo.
3 He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
4 Yo les enviaré grandes tribulaciones, todo cuanto ellos temían, pues cuando los llamé se negaron a responder, y cuando les hablé no quisieron escuchar. Por el contrario, ante mi propia vista hicieron lo malo, y a sabiendas escogieron lo que yo despreciaba.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen, but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
5 Escuchen las palabras de Dios, todos los que le temen y tiemblan ante sus palabras: Sus hermanos los odian y los desechan por ser leales a mi nombre. «Den gloria a Dios», dicen burlándose, «gócense en el Señor». Pero ellos serán avergonzados debido a estas burlas.
5 Hear Yahweh’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.
6 ¿Qué es toda esa conmoción en la ciudad? ¿Qué terrible ruido viene del templo? ¡Es la voz del Señor que se venga de sus enemigos!
6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yahweh that repays his enemies what they deserve.
7 ¿Quién vio jamás algo tan extraño? Pues en un solo día, súbitamente nacerá una nación, Israel, aun antes que se produzcan los dolores del parto. En un momento, apenas comience la angustia de Israel, nace el niño, comienza la nación.
7 “Before she travailed, she gave birth. Before her pain came, she delivered a son.
8 Not in this translation
8 Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she gave birth to her children.
9 ¿Te llevaré al momento del parto y no darás a luz?, pregunta el Señor tu Dios. ¡No, jamás!
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says Yahweh. “Shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” says your God.
10 ¡Regocíjense con Jerusalén, alégrense con ella todos cuantos la aman, los que por ella han llorado!
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
11 ¡Deléitense en Jerusalén, beban profundamente de su gloria, tal como la madre alimenta tiernamente a su pequeño!
11 that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”
12 Como río inundará la prosperidad a Jerusalén, dice el Señor, pues yo le enviaré las riquezas de los gentiles. Sus hijos serán amamantados por sus pechos, llevados en sus caderas y mecidos en su regazo.
12 For Yahweh says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream, and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
13 Allí te consolaré como una madre lo hace con su pequeñín.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
14 Cuando vean a Jerusalén, su corazón se regocijará; tendrán vigorosa salud. Todo el mundo verá la buena mano de Dios sobre su pueblo y su ira sobre sus enemigos.
14 You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. Yahweh’s hand will be known among his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
15 ¡Pues miren, el Señor vendrá con fuego y con veloces carros de juicio para derramar la furia de su ira y su ardiente reprensión entre llamas de fuego!
15 For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots will be like the whirlwind; to give his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Porque el Señor castigará al mundo mediante fuego y su espada, y a muchos matará el Señor.
16 For Yahweh will execute judgment by fire and by his sword on all flesh; and those slain by Yahweh will be many.
17 Los que adoran ídolos que esconden tras un árbol del jardín, haciéndoles festín con carne de cerdo y de ratón y con toda carne prohibida, tendrán un mal fin, dice el Señor.
17 “Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, following one in the middle, eating pig’s meat, abominable things, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together,” says Yahweh.
18 Yo bien veo lo que hacen, sé lo que piensan, de modo que congregaré a todas las naciones y pueblos contra Jerusalén, en donde contemplarán mi gloria.
18 “For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes that I will gather all nations and languages, and they will come, and will see my glory.
19 Realizaré un portentoso milagro contra ellos, y enviaré a los que escapen como misioneros a las naciones: a Tarsis, Put, Lidia (famosa por sus arqueros), Tubal y Grecia, y a las tierras de ultramar que no han oído mi fama ni visto mi gloria. Ahí anunciarán mi gloria a los gentiles.
19 “I will set a sign among them, and I will send those who escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to far-away islands, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
20 También traerán de regreso a sus hermanos que están entre todas las naciones como obsequio para el Señor, transportándolos suavemente, a caballo y en carrozas, en literas, a lomo de mula y en camellos, a mi santo monte, a Jerusalén, dice el Señor. Será como ofrenda que fluye al templo del Señor en tiempos de cosecha, llevados como si fueran en vasos consagrados al Señor.
20 They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into Yahweh’s house.
21 Y nombraré a algunos de los que regresen como sacerdotes míos y levitas, dice el Señor.
21 Of them I will also select priests and Levites,” says Yahweh.
22 Tan ciertamente como mi nuevo cielo y nueva tierra permanecerán, así serán ustedes para siempre pueblo mío, con un nombre que jamás perecerá.
22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says Yahweh, “so your offspring and your name shall remain.
23 Toda la humanidad llegará a adorarme semana a semana y mes a mes.
23 It shall happen that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before me,” says Yahweh.
24 Y saldrán y mirarán los cadáveres de los que se rebelaron contra mí, porque el gusano de ellos no morirá jamás, el fuego de ellos no se apagará, y serán un repulsivo espectáculo para toda la humanidad.
24 “They will go out, and look at the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

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 holy word saith, "On whom shall I look, but on him that is meek and peaceable, and that trembleth at My words?"
The heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool." And again, in another place, "Your new moons and your sabbaths My soul hateth; and the great day of the fast and of ceasing from labour I cannot away with; nor, if ye come to be seen of Me, will I hear you: your hands are full of blood; …
… nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King." For these words are evidently spoken with reference to the Creator, as also Esaias says: "Heaven is my throne, the earth is my footstool." And besides this Being there is no other God; otherwise He would not be termed …
For with fire of the Lord shall all the earth be judged, and all flesh with His sword: many shall be wounded by the Lord." In His promise to the good he says that He will flow down as a river of peace, that is to say, in the greatest possible abundance of peace.

Whom also by His prophet Isaiah God earnestly accepting said, "To whom will I look, but to him who is meek and quiet, and trembleth at My words?" For indeed there are many kinds of humility: one is humble in his own measure, another with all excess of lowliness.
