1 Yavé dice esto a su ungido, a Ciro, a quien tomé por su mano derecha para someter naciones ante él y aflojar los cinturones de los reyes, para abrir delante de él los batientes a fin de que las puertas no queden cerradas.
1 Yahweh says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
2 Yo iré delante de ti y allanaré los lugares escabrosos. Quebraré los batientes de bronce y haré pedazos las barras de hierro.
2 “I will go before you and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces and cut apart the bars of iron.
3 Te daré los tesoros escondidos, riquezas ocultas en los lugares secretos, para que sepas que Yo, Yavé, te llamo por tu nombre. Soy el ʼElohim de Israel.
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.
4 Por amor a mi esclavo Jacob y a mi escogido Israel, te llamé por tu nombre. Aunque no me conoces te doy un título de honor,
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though you have not known me.
5 Yo soy Yavé, y no hay otro. Fuera de Mí no hay ʼelohim. Yo te fortalecí, aunque no me conoces,
5 I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me,
6 para que sepan desde el nacimiento del sol hasta su ocaso que no hay otro fuera de Mí. Yo, Yavé, y no hay otro.
6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
7 Yo formo la luz y creo la oscuridad. Establezco la paz y creo la adversidad. Yo, Yavé, hago todas estas cosas.
7 I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
8 Destila, oh cielo, desde arriba, y derramen las nubes la justicia. Que se abra la tierra y brote la salvación, y juntamente con ella la justicia. Yo, Yavé, lo creé.
8 Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Yahweh, have created it.
9 ¡Ay del que contiende con su Hacedor, aunque es nada más que un trozo de tiesto entre los tiestos de arcilla! ¿Dirá la arcilla al alfarero: Qué haces? O: ¿Tu vasija no tiene asas?
9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands’?
10 Ay del que le dice al padre: ¿Por qué engendras? Y a la mujer: ¿Por qué das a luz?
10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
11 Yavé, el Santo de Israel, tu Formador, dice: ¿Me pedirán cuenta de mis hijos? ¿Me darán órdenes para la obra de mis manos?
11 Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
12 Yo hice la tierra y creé al hombre sobre ella. Yo mismo desplegué los cielos con mis manos. Yo doy órdenes a toda su hueste.
12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.
13 Yo lo levanté en justicia y allanaré todos sus caminos. Él reconstruirá mi ciudad y dejará a mis cautivos salir, no por precio ni por soborno, dice Yavé de las huestes.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.
14 Yavé dice: El trabajo de Egipto, las mercaderías de Etiopía, y los sabeos, hombres de gran estatura, se pasarán a ti. Tuyos serán. Marcharán detrás de ti. Irán con grillos. Se inclinarán ante ti y suplicarán: En verdad ʼElohim está contigo, y no existe algún otro ʼelohim.
14 Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.
15 ¡En verdad Tú eres ʼEL encubierto! ¡El ʼElohim de Israel, el Salvador!
15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”
16 Todos ellos serán avergonzados y humillados. [Todos] los fabricantes de ídolos irán juntos con deshonra.
16 They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
17 Israel será salvado por Yavé con salvación eterna. Nunca jamás serán avergonzados ni humillados.
17 Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
18 Porque Yavé, Quien creó los cielos, dice: Él es el ʼElohim, Quien formó la tierra, la hizo y la estableció. No la creó para que esté vacía. La formó para que sea habitada. Yo, Yavé, y no hay otro.
18 For Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am Yahweh. There is no other.
19 No hablé en secreto en un lugar oscuro de la tierra, ni dije a la descendencia de Jacob: En vano me buscan. Yo, Yavé, hablo justicia, anuncio rectitud.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
20 ¡Reúnanse y vengan! ¡Acérquense todos los sobrevivientes entre las naciones! Nada saben los que cargan un ídolo de madera y adoran a un ʼel que no puede salvar.
20 “Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t save.
21 Declaren, expongan pruebas y entren todos en consulta: ¿Quién proclamó esto desde antaño? ¿Quién lo dijo desde entonces? ¿No fui Yo, Yavé? Y no hay otro ʼelohim fuera de Mí, ʼEL justo y salvador. No hay alguno, excepto Yo.
21 Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is no one besides me.
22 Miren a Mí y sean salvos todos los confines de la tierra, porque Yo soy ʼEL, y no hay otro.
22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23 Por Mí mismo juré. De mi boca salió la sentencia y no será revocada: Que ante Mí se doblará toda rodilla y jurará toda lengua.
23 I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
24 De Mí se dirá: ¡Ciertamente en Yavé está la justicia y el poder! A Él vendrán y serán avergonzados todos los que se enfurecen contra Él.
24 They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
25 Toda la descendencia de Israel será justificada y se ufanará en Yavé.
25 All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh, and will rejoice!

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 this is what has been spoken by the prophet, "I am a jealous God, making peace, and creating evil things;" thus making peace and friendship with those who repent and turn to Him, and bringing [them to] unity, but preparing for the impenitent, those who shun the light, eternal fire and outer darkness, which are evils indeed to those …
Wherefore He says to it by Isaiah, "I am the Lord that formed thee." It is indeed descended from heaven from its commencement, since its citizens during the course of this world grow by the grace of God, which cometh down from above through the laver of regeneration in the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.

And again, "I," saith He, "make peace, and create evils:" For neither in this place doth He speak of wickedness, but of famines, and pestilences, things accounted evil by most men: the generality being wont to call these things evil.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 10 (1888)
If thou findest fault with Him who saith, I am God that make peace, and create evil, explain how Jesus saith, I came not to send peace but a sword.
