PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 El justo perece y no hay quien piense en ello. Mueren los piadosos. No hay quien entienda que el justo es quitado ante la aflicción.
1 The righteous perish, and no one lays it to heart. Merciful men are taken away, and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
2 Él entra en la paz. Los que anduvieron en su camino de rectitud descansan en sus lechos.
2 He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
3 Pero acérquense ustedes, oh hijos de la hechicera, generación de un adúltero y de una prostituta.
3 “But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
4 ¿De quién se burlan? ¿Contra quién abren la boca y sueltan la lengua? ¿No son ustedes hijos rebeldes, generación mentirosa,
4 Whom do you mock? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out your tongue? Aren’t you children of disobedience and offspring of falsehood,
5 que arden de lujuria debajo de todo árbol frondoso, y degüellan a sus hijos en los valles y en las hendiduras de las peñas?
5 you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Tu parte está en las piedras lisas del valle. Ellas son tu porción, porque a ellas derramaste libación y ofreciste sacrificios. ¿Me aplacaré ante estas cosas?
6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion. They, they are your lot. You have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
7 Pusiste tu cama sobre una montaña alta y encumbrada. Allí también subiste a ofrecer sacrificio.
7 On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
8 Detrás de la puerta y en el batiente de la puerta pusiste tu señal. Te desnudaste alejado de Mí. Subiste y extendiste tu cama, hiciste un acuerdo con ellos. Amaste su cama donde viste su desnudez.
8 You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts, for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me, and have gone up. You have enlarged your bed and made a covenant for yourself with them. You loved what you saw on their bed.
9 Fuiste al rey con ungüento y aumentaste tus perfumes. Enviaste a tus mensajeros lejos y los bajaste al Seol.
9 You went to the king with oil, increased your perfumes, sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol.
10 Te cansaste en el largo camino, pero no dijiste: No hay esperanza. Hallaste fuerza renovada. Por tanto, no te desanimaste.
10 You were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren’t faint.
11 ¿De quién tuviste temor para que negaras tu fe, y no te acordaras de Mí, ni te vino al pensamiento? ¿La razón por la cual no me temes no fue por mi silencio durante un largo tiempo?
11 “Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven’t I held my peace for a long time, and you don’t fear me?
12 Yo denuncio tu justicia y tus obras, porque ellas no te servirán de provecho
12 I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
13 cuando clames que te libren tus ídolos. Pero a todos ellos los llevará el viento. Un soplo los arrebatará. Sin embargo, el que confía en Mí, heredará la tierra, y poseerá mi Santa Montaña.
13 When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you, but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away, but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”
14 Se dirá: Allanen, allanen la calzada. Preparen el camino. Quiten los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo.
14 He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
15 Porque el Alto y Excelso, Morador Eterno, su Nombre es El Santo, dice: Yo moro en las alturas y en santidad, Pero estoy con los de espíritu que siente pesar porque me ofendió y está humillado. Estoy para reanimar a los de espíritu humilde y vivificar el corazón de los quebrantados.
15 For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 No contenderé para siempre, ni estaré airado para siempre, porque el aliento y las almas que creé decaerían delante de Mí.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.
17 Estuve airado y lo herí a causa de la iniquidad de su codicia. Me oculté y estuve airado, y él continuó apartado por el camino de su corazón.
17 I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him. I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
18 Vi sus caminos, pero lo sanaré. Lo guiaré y le daré consuelo, a él y a los que se conduelen de él.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
19 Crearé la alabanza de los labios: ¡Paz, paz, para el que está lejos y para el que está cerca! dice Yavé. Y lo sanaré.
19 I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says Yahweh; “and I will heal them.”
20 Los perversos son como el mar tempestuoso que no puede aquietarse. Sus aguas remueven la basura y el lodo.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can’t rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.
21 No hay paz para los perversos, dice mi ʼElohim.
21 “There is no peace”, says my God, “for the wicked.”

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).
He says, "For behold how the just man perishes, and no man considers it; and righteous men are taken away, and no man layeth it to heart." These things were acted beforehand in Abel, were also previously declared by the prophets, but were accomplished in the Lord's person; and the same [is still true] with regard to us, the body …
So that the Prophet in amazement speaks of this too, Against whom have ye opened your mouth, and against whom have ye let loose your tongue?

For as a man is said to "perish," according to that which is written, Behold, how the righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and this, though the resurrection is looked for; so we look for a resurrection, as it were, of the heavens also.
