1 Visión de Isaías, hijo de Amoz, que vio con respecto a Judá y Jerusalén en días de Uzías, Jotam, Acaz y Ezequías, reyes de Judá.
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 ¡Oye, cielo, y escucha tú, tierra, porque habla Yavé! Crié hijos y los desarrollé, pero ellos se rebelaron contra Mí.
2 Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me.
3 El buey conoce a su dueño, y el asno el pesebre de su amo, pero Israel no me conoce. Mi pueblo no tiene entendimiento.
3 The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel doesn’t know. My people don’t consider.”
4 ¡Oh gente pecadora, pueblo cargado de iniquidad, generación de perversos, hijos depravados! Abandonaron a Yavé, despreciaron al Santo de Israel, se volvieron atrás.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.
5 ¿Por qué aún quieren ser castigados? ¿Aún se rebelarán? Toda la cabeza está enferma, y el corazón doliente.
5 Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 Desde la planta del pie hasta la cabeza nada hay sano, sino golpes, contusiones, y heridas supurantes. No fueron drenadas, ni vendadas, ni aliviadas con ungüento.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.
7 Su tierra está asolada, sus ciudades incendiadas, su suelo devorado por extranjeros en presencia de ustedes, asolada como con desolación de extraños.
7 Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 La hija de Sion quedó como cobertizo de viñedo, como choza de melonar, como ciudad sitiada.
8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.
9 Si Yavé de las huestes no nos hubiera dejado un pequeño remanente, seríamos como Sodoma, semejantes a Gomorra.
9 Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.
10 ¡Escuchen la Palabra de Yavé, gobernantes de Sodoma! ¡Escuchen la Ley de nuestro ʼElohim, pueblo de Gomorra!
10 Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
11 ¿De qué me sirve, dice Yavé, la multitud de sus sacrificios? Estoy harto de holocaustos de carneros y de grasa de ganado gordo. No quiero sangre de becerros, ni de corderos, ni de machos cabríos.
11 “What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?”, says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
12 ¿Quién demanda esto de sus manos cuando los presentan ante Mí y pisotean mis patios?
12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
13 No sigan presentando ofrendas vanas. El incienso me es repugnancia, también las nuevas lunas, los sábados y el convocar asamblea. ¡No tolero la iniquidad junto con la Asamblea Solemne!
13 Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me. New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations— I can’t stand evil assemblies.
14 Mi alma aborrece sus nuevas lunas y sus solemnidades. Me son molestas. Estoy cansado de soportarlas.
14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.
15 Cuando extiendan sus manos, esconderé de ustedes mi Presencia. Y aunque multipliquen sus oraciones, no escucharé. Sus manos están llenas de sangre.
15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
16 Lávense, purifíquense, y quiten de mi vista la maldad de sus obras. Dejen de hacer el mal.
16 Wash yourselves. Make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
17 Aprendan a hacer lo bueno, busquen la justicia. Reprendan al opresor, defiendan al huérfano, aboguen por la viuda.
17 Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow.”
18 Vengan luego y razonemos juntos, dice Yavé. Aunque sus pecados sean como la grana, como la nieve serán emblanquecidos. Aunque sean rojos como el carmesí, serán como lana blanca.
18 “Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 Si ustedes quieren y obedecen, comerán lo bueno de la tierra.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land;
20 Pero si rehúsan y se rebelan, la espada los devorará, porque lo dijo la boca de Yavé.
20 but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword; for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.”
21 ¡Cómo se convirtió en prostituta la Ciudad Fiel! Estuvo llena de equidad y en ella vivía la justicia. Pero ahora viven los asesinos.
21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice. Righteousness lodged in her, but now there are murderers.
22 Tu plata se volvió escoria. Tu vino está mezclado con agua.
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
23 Tus gobernantes son rebeldes y cómplices de ladrones. Todos aman el soborno y corren tras las dádivas. No hacen justicia al huérfano ni llega a ellos la causa de la viuda.
23 Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They don’t defend the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
24 Por tanto, ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes, el Fuerte de Israel, dice: ¡Ah, tomaré satisfacción de mis enemigos! ¡Me vengaré de mis enemigos!
24 Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says: “Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself on my enemies.
25 Volveré mi mano contra ti. Purificaré totalmente tus escorias y quitaré toda tu impureza.
25 I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.
26 Restauraré tus jueces como al principio y tus consejeros, como los de antaño. Entonces te llamarán Ciudad de Justicia, Ciudad Fiel.
26 I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness, a faithful town.’
27 Sion será rescatada con equidad, y sus arrepentidos con justicia.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
28 Pero los rebeldes y pecadores serán juntamente quebrantados, y los que abandonan a Yavé serán consumidos.
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.
29 Entonces se avergonzarán de los robles que amaron y tendrán afrenta a causa de los huertos que escogieron.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
30 Porque serán como roble al cual se le cae la hoja y como huerto que no tiene agua.
30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
31 El fuerte será como estopa, y su obra como chispa. Ambos arderán juntos, y no habrá quien los apague.
31 The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”

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 if ye be willing and obey Me, ye shall eat the good of the land; but if ye refuse, and will not hearken unto Me, the sword shall devour you, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken these things." Desiring, therefore, that all His beloved should be partakers of repentance, He has, by His almighty will, established [these …
He spoke as from their person: "Except the Lord had left us a seed, we should have been as Sodom and Gomorrah." For Sodom and Gomorrah are related by Moses to have been cities of ungodly men, which God burned with fire and brimstone, and overthrew, no one of their inhabitants being saved except a certain stranger, a Chaldæan by …
He says: "Hear, O heavens; and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken." And again: "Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven, and stretched it out; who established the earth, and the things in it; and who giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them who walk therein."
… for the prophets often show that this same Lord of ours might have been their Father also, if they had not strayed from His commandments: as, for instance, we have that statement, "I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me;" and that other, "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children …

And the city, too, it is said, shall be called "the city of righteousness, the faithful city Sion." And yet we nowhere find that the city was called "righteousness," but it continued to be called Jerusalem.
