WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Yavé dice: El cielo es mi trono, y la tierra el estrado de mis pies. ¿Dónde está la casa que me edificarán, y dónde el lugar de mi reposo?
1 Yahweh says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I rest?
2 Mi mano hizo todas estas cosas. Por tanto existen todas ellas, dice Yavé. Pero Yo miraré al humilde y de espíritu contrito, y que tiembla ante mi Palabra.
2 For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
3 El que mata un buey es como el que mata a un hombre. El que sacrifica un cordero es como el que desnuca un perro. El que da ofrenda vegetal es como el que ofrece sangre de cerdo. El que invoca y ofrece incienso es como el que bendice a un ídolo. Todos ellos escogieron sus procedimientos, y sus almas se deleitan en sus repugnancias.
3 He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
4 Yo también escogeré escarnios para ellos y traeré sobre ellos lo que temen. Porque llamé, y nadie respondió. Hablé, y no escucharon. Hicieron lo malo ante mis ojos y escogieron lo que no me deleita.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen, but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
5 Escuchen la Palabra de Yavé ustedes los que tiemblan ante su Palabra: Dicen sus hermanos que los aborrecen y los echan fuera por causa de mi Nombre: ¡Que Yavé sea glorificado! Pero Él se mostrará para gozo de ustedes, y ellos serán avergonzados.
5 Hear Yahweh’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.
6 Un murmullo sale de la ciudad. Sale del Templo. Es el sonido de Yavé, Quien da el pago a sus enemigos.
6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yahweh that repays his enemies what they deserve.
7 Antes que estuviera de parto, dio a luz. Antes que le vinieran los dolores, dio a luz un varón.
7 “Before she travailed, she gave birth. Before her pain came, she delivered a son.
8 ¿Quién oyó cosa semejante? ¿Quién vio esas cosas? ¿Concebirá la tierra en un instante? ¿Nacerá una nación de una vez? Pues cuando Sion estuvo de parto dio a luz sus hijos.
8 Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she gave birth to her children.
9 Yo, Quien abre la matriz, ¿no incitaré a que dé a luz? dice Yavé. Yo, que permito engendrar, ¿impediré el nacimiento? dice tu ʼElohim.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says Yahweh. “Shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” says your God.
10 ¡Alégrense con Jerusalén! ¡Gócense con ella todos los que la aman! Regocíjense todos los que están de duelo por ella,
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
11 para que mamen, se sacien de los pechos de sus consolaciones y succionen gozosos la abundancia de su seno.
11 that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”
12 Porque Yavé dice: Yo extiendo sobre ella paz como un río y el esplendor de las naciones como un torrente que se desborda. Mamarán, serán llevadas en brazos, y sobre las rodillas las acariciarán.
12 For Yahweh says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream, and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
13 Como a uno a quien su madre consuela, así Yo los consolaré. En Jerusalén serán consolados.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
14 Al verlo, su corazón se regocijará y sus huesos rejuvenecerán como la hierba tierna. La mano de Yavé se manifestará a sus esclavos, y su ira sobre sus enemigos.
14 You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. Yahweh’s hand will be known among his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
15 Porque ciertamente Yavé viene en fuego y como remolino de viento con sus carrozas, para descargar su ira con furor y su reprensión con llama de fuego.
15 For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots will be like the whirlwind; to give his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Porque Yavé juzgará con fuego y espada a todo hombre. Los muertos de Yavé serán multiplicados.
16 For Yahweh will execute judgment by fire and by his sword on all flesh; and those slain by Yahweh will be many.
17 Los que se consagran y se purifican para entrar a los huertos, tras uno que está en el centro, los que comen carne de cerdo y de reptiles repugnantes como el ratón, serán juntamente aniquilados, dice Yavé.
17 “Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, following one in the middle, eating pig’s meat, abominable things, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together,” says Yahweh.
18 Porque Yo conozco sus obras y sus pensamientos. Llegará el tiempo de congregar a todas las naciones y lenguas. Vendrán y contemplarán mi gloria.
18 “For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes that I will gather all nations and languages, and they will come, and will see my glory.
19 Haré una señal entre ellas, y enviaré a los que huyeron de ellas a Tarsis, a Etiopía, a Libia, a Mesec, a Rosh, a Tubal y a Javán, a las costas lejanas que no oyeron mi fama ni vieron mi gloria, para que proclamen mi gloria entre las naciones.
19 “I will set a sign among them, and I will send those who escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to far-away islands, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
20 Como los hijos de Israel traen su ofrenda en utensilios puros a la Casa de Yavé, así traerán de todas las naciones a todos sus hermanos en caballos, en carrozas, en literas, en mulas y dromedarios hasta mi Santa Montaña en Jerusalén, como ofrenda a Yavé, dice Yavé.
20 They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into Yahweh’s house.
21 Entre ellos escogeré sacerdotes y levitas, dice Yavé.
21 Of them I will also select priests and Levites,” says Yahweh.
22 Porque permanecerán delante de Mí como los nuevos cielos y la nueva tierra que haré, dice Yavé. Así permanecerán su linaje y su nombre.
22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says Yahweh, “so your offspring and your name shall remain.
23 Sucederá de nueva luna en nueva luna, y de sábado en sábado, que toda criatura vendrá para postrarse delante de Mí, dice Yavé.
23 It shall happen that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before me,” says Yahweh.
24 Saldrán y mirarán los cadáveres de los hombres que se rebelaron contra Mí: Su gusano no morirá, ni su fuego se extinguirá. Serán una repugnancia para toda la humanidad.
24 “They will go out, and look at the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

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).
For the holy word saith, "On whom shall I look, but on him that is meek and peaceable, and that trembleth at My words?"
The heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool." And again, in another place, "Your new moons and your sabbaths My soul hateth; and the great day of the fast and of ceasing from labour I cannot away with; nor, if ye come to be seen of Me, will I hear you: your hands are full of blood; …
… nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King." For these words are evidently spoken with reference to the Creator, as also Esaias says: "Heaven is my throne, the earth is my footstool." And besides this Being there is no other God; otherwise He would not be termed …
For with fire of the Lord shall all the earth be judged, and all flesh with His sword: many shall be wounded by the Lord." In His promise to the good he says that He will flow down as a river of peace, that is to say, in the greatest possible abundance of peace.

Whom also by His prophet Isaiah God earnestly accepting said, "To whom will I look, but to him who is meek and quiet, and trembleth at My words?" For indeed there are many kinds of humility: one is humble in his own measure, another with all excess of lowliness.
