1 Porque Yavé tendrá compasión de Jacob. Volverá a escoger a Israel y los establecerá en su propia tierra. Los extranjeros se unirán a ellos, y se adherirán a la casa de Jacob.
1 For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.
2 Las naciones los tomarán y los llevarán a su lugar. Y la Casa de Israel los poseerá como esclavos y esclavas en la tierra de Yavé. Cautivarán a los que los cautivaron, y señorearán sobre sus opresores.
2 The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in Yahweh’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 Aquel día Yavé te dará descanso de tu labor, de tu tribulación y de la dura esclavitud en la cual los obligaron a servir.
3 It will happen in the day that Yahweh will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
4 Entonces se mofarán del rey de Babilonia: ¡Cómo terminó el opresor y cesó la furia!
4 that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”
5 Yavé quebró la vara de los perversos, el cetro de los gobernantes,
5 Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
6 que sin tregua golpeaba a los pueblos con furor, [que] oprimía a las naciones con incontrolable persecución.
6 who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that no one restrained.
7 Toda la tierra está en reposo y en paz. Prorrumpe en gritos de júbilo.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out in song.
8 Aun los cipreses y los cedros del Líbano se alegran por ti [y dicen]: ¡Desde cuando fuiste derribado, ya no sube el talador contra nosotros!
8 Yes, the cypress trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us.”
9 El Seol abajo se estremeció a causa de ti. Despertó a todos los potentados muertos de la tierra para que en tu llegada salieran a recibirte. Levantó de sus tronos a todos los reyes de las naciones.
9 Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the departed spirits for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
10 Todos ellos te responderán y dirán: ¡También tú fuiste debilitado como nosotros, y fuiste como nosotros!
10 They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”
11 Tu soberbia y el sonido de tus arpas descendieron al Seol. Los gusanos hacen cama debajo de ti y te cubrirán.
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.
12 ¡Cómo caíste del cielo, oh Lucero de la mañana! ¡Tú, que debilitabas a las naciones, fuiste derribado a la tierra!
12 How you have fallen from heaven, shining one, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!
13 Tú que decías en tu corazón: Subiré al cielo, en lo alto. Junto a las estrellas de ʼElohim levantaré mi trono, y me sentaré en la Montaña del Testimonio, a los lados del norte.
13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!
14 Subiré sobre las alturas de las nubes, y seré semejante a Elyón.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!”
15 ¡Pero fuiste derribado hasta el Seol, a las partes más profundas de la fosa!
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit.
16 Los que te vean se inclinarán hacia ti. Reflexionarán ante ti y dirán: ¿Es éste aquel varón que hacía temblar la tierra, que sacudía los reinos,
16 Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms,
17 que convirtió el mundo en un desierto, que asoló sus ciudades y nunca les abrió la cárcel a sus presos?
17 who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities, who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”
18 Todos los reyes de la tierra están tendidos con honra, cada uno en su propia morada.
18 All the kings of the nations sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.
19 Pero tú eres echado de tu sepulcro como rama repugnante, como ropa de asesinados a espada, que bajan al fondo de la fosa como uno que fue hallado muerto.
19 But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
20 No serás unido a ellos en la sepultura, porque tú destruiste tu tierra y mataste a tu pueblo. Para siempre no será nombrada la descendencia de los malignos.
20 You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be named forever.
21 Preparen la matanza de sus hijos por la perversidad de sus padres, no sea que se levanten, posean la tierra y llenen de ciudades la superficie del mundo.
21 Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.
22 Porque me levantaré contra ellos, dice Yavé de las huestes, y extirparé de Babilonia el nombre y los sobrevivientes, los descendientes y las futuras generaciones, dice Yavé.
22 “I will rise up against them,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says Yahweh.
23 La convertiré en posesión de erizos y en pantanos, y la barreré con la escoba del exterminio, dice Yavé de las huestes.
23 “I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says Yahweh of Armies.
24 Yavé de las huestes juró: Ciertamente lo que pensé sucederá y lo que decidí se realizará.
24 Yahweh of Armies has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 Quebrantaré al asirio en mi tierra y sobre mis montañas lo pisotearé. Su yugo será quitado de ellos y la carga removida de sus hombros.
25 that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
26 Éste es el designio acordado para toda la tierra, y ésta la mano extendida sobre todas las naciones,
26 This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 porque Yavé de las huestes lo determinó. ¿Quién podrá impedirlo? ¿Quién puede volver atrás su mano extendida?
27 For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”
28 El año cuando murió el rey Acaz vino esta profecía:
28 This burden was in the year that King Ahaz died.
29 No te alegres tú, toda Filistea, porque se rompió la vara del que te hería, y saldrá una víbora de la raíz de la serpiente. Su fruto será una feroz serpiente alada.
29 Don’t rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.
30 Entonces los primogénitos de los pobres serán apacentados y los necesitados descansarán confiadamente. Pero hará morir de hambre a tu raíz y matará de hambre a tus sobrevivientes.
30 The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.
31 ¡Aúlla, puerta! ¡Grita, ciudad! ¡Desfallece, oh Filistea, toda tú! Porque un humo viene del norte, y no hay rezagado en sus huestes.
31 Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
32 ¿Qué se responderá a los mensajeros de las naciones? Que Yavé cimentó a Sion, y que en ella se refugian los afligidos de su pueblo.
32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.

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).
… loved and feared, not for Thy sake, but in Thy stead, by which means, being made like unto him, he may have them as his, not in harmony of love, but in the fellowship of punishment; who aspired to exalt his throne in the north, that dark and cold they might serve him, imitating Thee in perverse and distorted ways.

Such an one was he that saith, "I will exalt my throne above the Heavens." and did not account himself to be worthy so much as of the title of the apostles, after so many and so great deeds of goodness.

And how do they answer the prophetic proofs,--either what Isaiah says when he represents the devil under the person of the king of Babylon, "How art thou fallen, O Lucifer, son of the morning!" or what Ezekiel says, "Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering," where it is meant that he was …

For example, what is said in Isaiah, "How he is fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of the morning!" and the other statements of the context which, under the figure of the king of Babylon, are made about the same person, are of course to be understood of the devil; and yet the statement which is made in the same place, …
