WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¡Guarden silencio delante de Mí, oh costas! Renueven fuerza las naciones. Acérquense y hablen. Reunámonos para juicio.
1 “Keep silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let’s meet together for judgment.
2 ¿Quién lo despertó del oriente lo llamó para que lo siguiera, le entregó pueblos, le sometió reyes y los entregó como polvo a su espada y como hojarasca arrebatada por su arco?
2 Who has raised up one from the east? Who called him to his feet in righteousness? He hands over nations to him and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.
3 Los perseguirá. Pasará adelante con seguridad por una senda que sus pies nunca pisaron.
3 He pursues them and passes by safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.
4 ¿Quién planeó y ejecutó esto, y llamó las generaciones desde el principio? Yo, Yavé el que anuncia el futuro desde el principio. Yo, Yavé, el Primero. También Yo estoy con los últimos.
4 Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.”
5 Las costas vieron esto y temen. Tiemblan los confines de la tierra. Se congregan y acuden.
5 The islands have seen, and fear. The ends of the earth tremble. They approach, and come.
6 Cada uno ayuda a su vecino. Cada uno dice a su hermano: ¡Esfuérzate!
6 Everyone helps his neighbor. They say to their brothers, “Be strong!”
7 El escultor anima al platero, y el que forja a martillo al que golpea en el yunque, y dicen: ¡Buena soldadura! Y la aseguran con clavos para que no se mueva.
7 So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith. He who smooths with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, “It is good;” and he fastens it with nails, that it might not totter.
8 Pero tú, oh Israel, eres esclavo mío, Jacob, a quien escogí, descendiente de Abraham, mi amigo.
8 “But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham my friend,
9 Yo te llamé de los confines de la tierra. Te llamé de las regiones más remotas y te dije: Tú eres mi esclavo. Te escogí y no te deseché.
9 you whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from its corners, and said to you, ‘You are my servant. I have chosen you and have not cast you away.’
10 No temas, porque Yo estoy contigo. No desmayes, porque Yo soy tu ʼElohim que te esfuerzo. Te ayudaré siempre. Te sostendré siempre con la mano derecha de mi justicia.
10 Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Ciertamente todos los que se aíran contra ti serán avergonzados y confundidos. Serán como nada. Los que contienden contra ti perecerán.
11 Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish.
12 Buscarás a los que contienden contigo, pero no los hallarás. Los que guerrean contra ti serán como nada, como cosa que no existe.
12 You will seek them, and won’t find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing.
13 Porque Yo soy Yavé tu ʼElohim, el que sostiene tu mano derecha y te dice: No temas, Yo te ayudaré.
13 For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I will help you.’
14 No temas, gusanillo de Jacob, ustedes, los pocos de Israel. Yo soy tu Socorro, dice Yavé, tu Redentor, el Santo de Israel.
14 Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says Yahweh. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 Ciertamente te pongo como trillo, como rastrillo nuevo lleno de dientes. Trillarás las montañas y las triturarás. Como a pasto seco reducirás las colinas.
15 Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth. You will thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and will make the hills like chaff.
16 Las aventarás. El viento se los llevará y los esparcirá el remolino de aire. Pero tú te regocijarás en Yavé. Te ufanas en el Santo de Israel.
16 You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in Yahweh. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 Los pobres y necesitados buscan agua, y no hay. Su lengua está reseca de sed. Yo mismo, Yavé, les responderé. Yo, el ʼElohim de Israel, no los desampararé.
17 The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, Yahweh, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
18 Abriré ríos en las cumbres altas y manantiales en medio de los valles. Convertiré el desierto en lagunas, la tierra reseca en fuentes de agua.
18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and springs in the middle of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
19 Haré crecer juntamente en el desierto cedros, acacias, arrayanes y olivos. En la tierra árida plantaré cipreses junto con olmos y abetos
19 I will put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness. I will set cypress trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;
20 para que vean y conozcan, para que reflexionen y entiendan de una vez que la mano de Yavé hace esto, que el Santo de Israel lo creó.
20 that they may see, know, consider, and understand together, that Yahweh’s hand has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
21 Presenten su causa, dice Yavé. Expongan sus razones, dice el Rey de Jacob.
21 Produce your cause,” says Yahweh. “Bring out your strong reasons!” says the King of Jacob.
22 Que se acerquen y nos anuncien lo que va a suceder. Declaren lo que ha sucedido desde el principio para que lo consideremos y comprendamos en qué pararon. Anúnciennos las cosas que vienen.
22 “Let them announce and declare to us what will happen! Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.
23 Declaren las cosas que vienen después para que sepamos que son ʼelohim. Hagan algo, bueno o malo, para que todos lo veamos y nos maravillemos.
23 Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.
24 Ciertamente ustedes son nada. Sus obras no existen. ¡Repugnante es el que los elige!
24 Behold, you are nothing, and your work is nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.
25 Yo levanté a uno del norte, y vendrá. Desde el nacimiento del sol invocará mi Nombre. Pisoteará a gobernantes como al lodo de la manera como el alfarero pisa la arcilla.
25 “I have raised up one from the north, and he has come, from the rising of the sun, one who calls on my name, and he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter treads clay.
26 ¿Quién anunció esto desde el principio para que lo sepamos? ¿Quién lo dijo por adelantado para que digamos: Tenía razón? Ciertamente ninguno lo declara. Ninguno lo predice. Tampoco hay quien escuche sus palabras.
26 Who has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and before, that we may say, ‘He is right’? Surely, there is no one who declares. Surely, there is no one who shows. Surely, there is no one who hears your words.
27 Ciertamente Yo fui el primero que declaré a Sion estas cosas: ¡Daré a Jerusalén heraldo de buenas noticias!
27 I am the first to say to Zion, ‘Behold, look at them;’ and I will give one who brings good news to Jerusalem.
28 Miré, y no había alguno. De ellos no había consejero al cual preguntar para que me respondiera.
28 When I look, there is no man, even among them there is no counselor who, when I ask, can answer a word.
29 ¡Ciertamente todos ellos son vanidad! ¡Todas sus obras son nada! ¡Viento y vanidad son sus imágenes fundidas!
29 Behold, all of their deeds are vanity and nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.

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).
