1 رُؤْيَا إِشَعْيَاءَ بْنِ آمُوصَ، ٱلَّتِي رَآهَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي أَيَّامِ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحِزْقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا:
1 VISIÓN de Isaías hijo de Amoz, la cual vió sobre Judá y Jerusalem, en días de Uzzías, Jotham, Achâz y Ezechîas, 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 اِسْمَعِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَأَصْغِي أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْأَرْضُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَتَكَلَّمُ: «رَبَّيْتُ بَنِينَ وَنَشَّأْتُهُمْ، أَمَّا هُمْ فَعَصَوْا عَلَيَّ.
2 Oid, cielos, y escucha tú, tierra; porque habla Jehová: Crié hijos, y engrandecílos, y 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 اَلثَّوْرُ يَعْرِفُ قَانِيَهُ وَٱلْحِمَارُ مِعْلَفَ صَاحِبِهِ، أَمَّا إِسْرَائِيلُ فَلَا يَعْرِفُ. شَعْبِي لَا يَفْهَمُ».
3 El buey conoce á su dueño, y el asno el pesebre de su señor: Israel no 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 وَيْلٌ لِلْأُمَّةِ ٱلْخَاطِئَةِ، ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلثَّقِيلِ ٱلْإِثْمِ، نَسْلِ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ، أَوْلَادِ مُفْسِدِينَ! تَرَكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، ٱسْتَهَانُوا بِقُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱرْتَدُّوا إِلَى وَرَاءٍ.
4 ¡Oh gente pecadora, pueblo cargado de maldad, generación de malignos, hijos depravados! Dejaron á Jehová, provocaron á ira al Santo de Israel, tornáronse 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 عَلَى مَ تُضْرَبُونَ بَعْدُ؟ تَزْدَادُونَ زَيَغَانًا! كُلُّ ٱلرَّأْسِ مَرِيضٌ، وَكُلُّ ٱلْقَلْبِ سَقِيمٌ.
5 ¿Para qué habéis de ser castigados aún? todavía os rebelaréis. Toda cabeza está enferma, y todo 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 مِنْ أَسْفَلِ ٱلْقَدَمِ إِلَى ٱلرَّأْسِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ صِحَّةٌ، بَلْ جُرْحٌ وَأَحْبَاطٌ وَضَرْبَةٌ طَرِيَّةٌ لَمْ تُعْصَرْ وَلَمْ تُعْصَبْ وَلَمْ تُلَيَّنْ بِٱلزَّيْتِ.
6 Desde la planta del pie hasta la cabeza no hay en él cosa ilesa, [sino] herida, hinchazón y podrida llaga: no están curadas, ni vendadas, ni suavizadas con aceite.
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 بِلَادُكُمْ خَرِبَةٌ. مُدُنُكُمْ مُحْرَقَةٌ بِٱلنَّارِ. أَرْضُكُمْ تَأْكُلُهَا غُرَبَاءُ قُدَّامَكُمْ، وَهِيَ خَرِبَةٌ كَٱنْقِلَابِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ.
7 Vuestra tierra está destruída, vuestras ciudades puestas á fuego, vuestra tierra delante de vosotros comida de extranjeros, y asolada como asolamiento 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 فَبَقِيَتِ ٱبْنَةُ صِهْيَوْنَ كَمِظَلَّةٍ فِي كَرْمٍ، كَخَيْمَةٍ فِي مَقْثَأَةٍ، كَمَدِينَةٍ مُحَاصَرَةٍ.
8 Y queda la hija de Sión como choza en viña, y como cabaña en melonar, como ciudad asolada.
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 لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ أَبْقَى لَنَا بَقِيَّةً صَغِيرَةً، لَصِرْنَا مِثْلَ سَدُومَ وَشَابَهْنَا عَمُورَةَ.
9 Si Jehová de los ejércitos no hubiera hecho que nos quedasen muy cortos residuos, como Sodoma fuéramos, y semejantes á 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 اِسْمَعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا قُضَاةَ سَدُومَ! أَصْغُوا إِلَى شَرِيعَةِ إِلَهِنَا يَا شَعْبَ عَمُورَةَ:
10 Príncipes de Sodoma, oid la palabra de Jehová; escuchad la ley de nuestro Dios, pueblo de Gomorra.
10 Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
11 «لِمَاذَا لِي كَثْرَةُ ذَبَائِحِكُمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٱتَّخَمْتُ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتِ كِبَاشٍ وَشَحْمِ مُسَمَّنَاتٍ، وَبِدَمِ عُجُولٍ وَخِرْفَانٍ وَتُيُوسٍ مَا أُسَرُّ.
11 ¿Para qué á mí, dice Jehová, la multitud de vuestros sacrificios? Harto estoy de holocaustos de carneros, y de sebo de animales gruesos: no quiero sangre de bueyes, ni de ovejas, 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 حِينَمَا تَأْتُونَ لِتَظْهَرُوا أَمَامِي، مَنْ طَلَبَ هَذَا مِنْ أَيْدِيكُمْ أَنْ تَدُوسُوا دُورِي؟
12 ¿Quién demandó esto de vuestras manos, cuando vinieseis á presentaros delante de mí, para hollar mis atrios?
12 When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
13 لَا تَعُودُوا تَأْتُونَ بِتَقْدِمَةٍ بَاطِلَةٍ. ٱلْبَخُورُ هُوَ مَكْرَهَةٌ لِي. رَأْسُ ٱلشَّهْرِ وَٱلسَّبْتُ وَنِدَاءُ ٱلْمَحْفَلِ. لَسْتُ أُطِيقُ ٱلْإِثْمَ وَٱلِٱعْتِكَافَ.
13 No me traigáis más vano presente: el perfume me es abominación: luna nueva y sábado, el convocar asambleas, no las puedo sufrir: son iniquidad vuestras solemnidades.
13 Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me. New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations— I can’t stand evil assemblies.
14 رُؤُوسُ شُهُورِكُمْ وَأَعْيَادُكُمْ بَغَضَتْهَا نَفْسِي. صَارَتْ عَلَيَّ ثِقْلًا. مَلِلْتُ حَمْلَهَا.
14 Vuestras lunas nuevas y vuestras solemnidades tiene aborrecidas mi alma: me son gravosas; cansado estoy de llevarlas.
14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.
15 فَحِينَ تَبْسُطُونَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ أَسْتُرُ عَيْنَيَّ عَنْكُمْ، وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتُمُ ٱلصَّلَاةَ لَا أَسْمَعُ. أَيْدِيكُمْ مَلْآنَةٌ دَمًا.
15 Cuando extendiereis vuestras manos, yo esconderé de vosotros mis ojos: asimismo cuando multiplicareis la oración, yo no oiré: llenas están de sangre vuestras manos.
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 اِغْتَسِلُوا. تَنَقَّوْا. ٱعْزِلُوا شَرَّ أَفْعَالِكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ عَيْنَيَّ. كُفُّوا عَنْ فِعْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ.
16 Lavad, limpiaos; quitad la iniquidad de vuestras obras de ante mis ojos; dejad de hacer lo malo:
16 Wash yourselves. Make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
17 تَعَلَّمُوا فَعْلَ ٱلْخَيْرِ. ٱطْلُبُوا ٱلْحَقَّ. ٱنْصِفُوا ٱلْمَظْلُومَ. ٱقْضُوا لِلْيَتِيمِ. حَامُوا عَنِ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ.
17 Aprended á hacer bien; buscad juicio, restituid al agraviado, oid en derecho al huérfano, amparad á la viuda.
17 Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow.”
18 هَلُمَّ نَتَحَاجَجْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. إِنْ كَانَتْ خَطَايَاكُمْ كَٱلْقِرْمِزِ تَبْيَضُّ كَٱلثَّلْجِ. إِنْ كَانَتْ حَمْرَاءَ كَٱلدُّودِيِّ تَصِيرُ كَٱلصُّوفِ.
18 Venid luego, dirá Jehová, y estemos á cuenta: si vuestros pecados fueren como la grana, como la nieve serán emblanquecidos: si fueren rojos como el carmesí, vendrán á ser como [blanca] lana.
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 إِنْ شِئْتُمْ وَسَمِعْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ خَيْرَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.
19 Si quisiereis y oyereis, comeréis el bien de la tierra:
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land;
20 وَإِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ وَتَمَرَّدْتُمْ تُؤْكَلُونَ بِٱلسَّيْفِ». لِأَنَّ فَمَ ٱلرَّبِّ تَكَلَّمَ.
20 Si no quisiereis y fuereis rebeldes, seréis consumidos á espada: porque la boca de Jehová lo ha dicho.
20 but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword; for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.”
21 كَيْفَ صَارَتِ ٱلْقَرْيَةُ ٱلْأَمِينَةُ زَانِيَةً! مَلآنَةً حَقًّا. كَانَ ٱلْعَدْلُ يَبِيتُ فِيهَا، وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَٱلْقَاتِلُونَ.
21 ¿Cómo te has tornado ramera, oh ciudad fiel? Llena estuvo de juicio, en ella habitó equidad; mas ahora, homicidas.
21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice. Righteousness lodged in her, but now there are murderers.
22 صَارَتْ فِضَّتُكِ زَغَلًا وَخَمْرُكِ مَغْشُوشَةً بِمَاءٍ.
22 Tu plata se ha tornado escorias, tu vino mezclado [está] con agua.
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
23 رُؤَسَاؤُكِ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ وَلُغَفَاءُ ٱللُّصُوصِ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ يُحِبُّ ٱلرَّشْوَةَ وَيَتْبَعُ ٱلْعَطَايَا. لَا يَقْضُونَ لِلْيَتِيمِ، وَدَعْوَى ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ.
23 Tus príncipes, prevaricadores y compañeros de ladrones: todos aman las dádivas, y van tras las recompensas: no oyen en juicio al huérfano, ni llega á 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 لِذَلِكَ يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ عَزِيزُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «آهِ! إِنِّي أَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْ خُصَمَائِي وَأَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي،
24 Por tanto, dice el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos, el Fuerte de Israel: Ea, tomaré satisfacción de mis enemigos, vengaréme de mis adversarios:
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 وَأَرُدُّ يَدِي عَلَيْكِ، وَأُنَقِّي زَغَلَكِ كَأَنَّهُ بِٱلْبَوْرَقِ، وَأَنْزِعُ كُلَّ قَصْدِيرِكِ،
25 Y volveré mi mano sobre ti, y limpiaré hasta lo más puro tus escorias, y quitaré todo tu estaño:
25 I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.
26 وَأُعِيدُ قُضَاتَكِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ، وَمُشِيرِيكِ كَمَا فِي ٱلْبَدَاءَةِ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تُدْعَيْنَ مَدِينَةَ ٱلْعَدْلِ، ٱلْقَرْيَةَ ٱلْأَمِينَةَ».
26 Y restituiré tus jueces como al principio, y tus consejeros como de primero: 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 صِهْيَوْنُ تُفْدَى بِٱلْحَقِّ، وَتَائِبُوهَا بِٱلْبِرِّ.
27 Sión con juicio será rescatada, y los convertidos de ella con justicia.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
28 وَهَلَاكُ ٱلْمُذْنِبِينَ وَٱلْخُطَاةِ يَكُونُ سَوَاءً، وَتَارِكُو ٱلرَّبِّ يَفْنَوْنَ.
28 Mas los rebeldes y pecadores á una serán quebrantados, y los que dejan á Jehová serán consumidos.
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.
29 لِأَنَّهُمْ يَخْجَلُونَ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْبُطْمِ ٱلَّتِي ٱشْتَهَيْتُمُوهَا، وَتُخْزَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلْجَنَّاتِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُمُوهَا.
29 Entonces os avergonzarán los olmos que amasteis, y os afrentarán los bosques que escogisteis.
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 لِأَنَّكُمْ تَصِيرُونَ كَبُطْمَةٍ قَدْ ذَبُلَ وَرَقُهَا، وَكَجَنَّةٍ لَيْسَ لَهَا مَاءٌ.
30 Porque seréis como el olmo que se le cae la hoja, y como huerto que le faltan las aguas.
30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
31 وَيَصِيرُ ٱلْقَوِيُّ مَشَاقَةً وَعَمَلُهُ شَرَارًا، فَيَحْتَرِقَانِ كِلَاهُمَا مَعًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُطْفِئُ.
31 Y el fuerte será como estopa, y lo que hizo como centella; y ambos serán encendidos juntamente, y no habrá quien 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.
