WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ούτω λέγει Κύριος προς τον κεχρισμένον αυτού, τον Κύρον, του οποίου την δεξιάν χείρα εκράτησα, διά να υποτάξω τα έθνη έμπροσθεν αυτού· και θέλω λύσει την οσφύν των βασιλέων, διά να ανοίξω τα δίθυρα έμπροθεν αυτού· και αι πύλαι δεν θέλουσι κλεισθή.
1 ASÍ dice Jehová á su ungido, á Ciro, al cual tomé yo por su mano derecha, para sujetar gentes delante de él y desatar lomos de reyes; para abrir delante de él puertas, y las puertas no se cerrarán:
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 Εγώ θέλω υπάγει έμπροθέν σου και εξομαλύνει τας σκολιάς οδούς· θέλω συντρίψει τας χαλκίνας θύρας και κόψει τους σιδηρούς μοχλούς.
2 Yo iré delante de ti, y enderezaré las tortuosidades; quebrantaré puertas de bronce, y cerrojos de hierro haré pedazos;
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 Και θέλω σοι δώσει θησαυρούς φυλαττομένους εν σκότει και πλούτη κερυμμένα εν αποκρύφοις· διά να γνωρίσης ότι εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος ο καλών σε κατ' όνομα, ο Θεός του Ισραήλ.
3 Y te daré los tesoros escondidos, y los secretos muy guardados; para que sepas que yo soy Jehová, el Dios de Israel, que te pongo nombre.
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 Διά τον Ιακώβ τον δούλον μου και τον Ισραήλ τον εκλεκτόν μου σε εκάλεσα μάλιστα με το όνομά σου, σε επωνόμασα, αν και δεν με εγνώρισας.
4 Por amor de mi siervo Jacob, y de Israel mi escogido, te llamé por tu nombre; púsete sobrenombre, aunque no me conociste.
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 Εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος και δεν είναι άλλος· δεν υπάρχει εκτός εμού Θεός· εγώ σε περιέζωσα, αν και δεν με εγνώρισας,
5 Yo Jehová, y ninguno más hay: no hay Dios fuera de mí. Yo te ceñiré, aunque tú no me conociste;
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 διά να γνωρίσωσιν από ανατολών ηλίου και από δυσμών, ότι εκτός εμού δεν υπάρχει ουδείς· εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος και δεν υπάρχει άλλος·
6 Para que se sepa desde el nacimiento del sol, y desde donde se pone, que no hay más que yo; yo Jehová, y ninguno más que yo:
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 ο κατασκευάσας το φως και ποιήσας το σκότος· ο ποιών ειρήνην και κτίζων κακόν· εγώ ο Κύριος ποιώ πάντα ταύτα.
7 Que formo la luz y crío las tinieblas, que hago la paz y crío el mal. Yo Jehová que hago todo esto.
7 I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
8 Σταλάξατε δρόσον άνωθεν, ουρανοί, και ας ράνωσιν αι νεφέλαι δικαιοσύνην· ας ανοίξη η γη και ας γεννήση σωτηρίαν και ας βλαστήση δικαιοσύνην ομού· εγώ ο Κύριος εποίησα τούτο.
8 Rociad, cielos, de arriba, y las nubes destilen la justicia; ábrase la tierra, y prodúzcanse la salud y la justicia; háganse brotar juntamente. Yo Jehová lo crié.
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 Ουαί εις τον αντιμαχόμενον προς τον Ποιητήν αυτού. Ας αντιμάχεται το όστρακον προς τα όστρακα της γής· ο πηλός θέλει ειπεί προς τον πλάττοντα αυτόν, Τι κάμνεις; ή το έργον σου, Ούτος δεν έχει χείρας;
9 ¡Ay del que pleitea con su Hacedor! ¡el tiesto con los tiestos de la tierra! ¿Dirá el barro al que lo labra: Qué haces; ó tu obra: No tiene manos?
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 Ουαί εις τον λέγοντα προς τον πατέρα, τι γεννάς; προς την γυναίκα, τι κοιλοπονείς;
10 ¡Ay del que dice al padre: ¿Por qué engendraste? y á la mujer: ¿Por qué pariste?
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 Ούτω λέγει Κύριος, ο Άγιος του Ισραήλ και ο Πλάστης αυτού· Ερωτάτέ με διά τα μέλλοντα περί των υιών μου και περί του έργου των χειρών μου προστάξατέ με.
11 Así dice Jehová, el Santo de Israel, y su Formador: Preguntadme de las cosas por venir; mandadme acerca de mis hijos, y acerca de 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 Εγώ έκτισα την γην και εποίησα άνθρωπον επ' αυτής· εγώ διά των χειρών μου εξέτεινα τους ουρανούς και έδωκα διαταγάς εις πάσαν την στρατιάν αυτών.
12 Yo hice la tierra, y crié sobre ella al hombre. Yo, mis manos, extendieron los cielos, y á todo su ejército mandé.
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 Εγώ εξήγειρα εκείνον εις δικαιοσύνην και θέλω διευθύνει πάσας τας οδούς αυτού· αυτός θέλει οικοδομήσει την πόλιν μου και θέλει επιστρέψει τους αιχμαλώτους μου, ουχί με λύτρον ουδέ με δώρα, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
13 Yo lo desperté en justicia, y enderezaré todos sus caminos; él edificará mi ciudad, y soltará mis cautivos, no por precio ni por dones, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
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 Ούτω λέγει Κύριος· Ο κόπος της Αιγύπτου και το εμπόριον της Αιθιοπίας και των Σαβαίων, ανδρών μεγαλοσώμων, θέλουσι περάσει εις σε και σου θέλουσιν είσθαι· οπίσω σου θέλουσιν ακολουθεί· με αλύσεις θέλουσι περάσει και θέλουσι σε προσκυνήσει, θέλουσι σε ικετεύσει, λέγοντες, Βεβαίως ο Θεός είναι εν σοι, και δεν υπάρχει ουδείς άλλος Θεός.
14 Así dice Jehová: El trabajo de Egipto, las mercaderías de Etiopía, y los Sabeos hombres agigantados, se pasarán á ti, y serán tuyos; irán en pos de ti, pasarán con grillos: á ti harán reverencia, y á ti suplicarán, [diciendo]: Cierto, en ti está Dios, y no hay otro fuera de Dios.
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 Τωόντι συ είσαι Θεός κρυπτόμενος, Θεέ του Ισραήλ, ο Σωτήρ.
15 Verdaderamente tú eres Dios que te encubres, Dios de Israel, que salvas.
15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”
16 Πάντες ούτοι θέλουσιν αισχυνθή και εντραπή· οι εργάται των ειδώλων θέλουσι φύγει εν καταισχύνη πάντες ομού.
16 Confusos y avergonzados serán todos ellos; irán con afrenta todos los fabricadores de imágenes.
16 They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
17 Ο δε Ισραήλ θέλει σωθή διά του Κυρίου σωτηρίαν αιώνιον· δεν θέλετε αισχυνθή ουδέ εντραπή αιωνίως.
17 Israel es salvo en Jehová con salud eterna; no os avergonzaréis, ni os afrentaréis, por todos los siglos.
17 Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
18 Διότι ούτω λέγει Κύριος, ο ποιήσας τους ουρανούς· αυτός ο Θεός, ο πλάσας την γην και ποιήσας αυτήν· όστις αυτός εστερέωσεν αυτήν, έκτισεν αυτήν ουχί ματαίως αλλ' έπλασεν αυτήν διά να κατοικήται· Εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος και δεν υπάρχει άλλος.
18 Porque así dijo Jehová, que crió los cielos; él es Dios, el que formó la tierra, el que la hizo y la compuso; no la crió en vano, para que fuese habitada la crió: Yo Jehová, y ninguno más que yo.
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 Δεν ελάλησα εν κρυπτώ ουδέ εν σκοτεινώ τόπω της γής· δεν είπα προς το σπέρμα του Ιακώβ, Ζητήσατέ με ματαίως· εγώ είμαι ο Κύριος, ο λαλών δικαιοσύνην, ο αναγγέλλων ευθύτητα.
19 No hablé en escondido, en lugar de tierra de tinieblas; no dije á la generación de Jacob: En vano me buscáis. Yo soy Jehová que hablo justicia, que 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 Συνάχθητε και έλθετε· πλησιάσατε ομού, οι σεσωσμένοι των εθνών· δεν έχουσι νόησιν, όσοι σηκόνουσι το γλυπτόν ξύλον αυτών και προσεύχονται εις θεόν μη δυνάμενον να σώση.
20 Reuníos, y venid; allegaos, todos los escapados de las gentes: no saben aquellos que erigen el madero de su escultura, y los que ruegan al dios que no salva.
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 Απαγγείλατε και φέρετε αυτούς πλησίον· μάλιστα, ας συμβουλευθώσιν ομού· τις ανήγγειλε τούτο απ' αρχής; τις εφανέρωσε τούτο εξ εκείνου του καιρού; ουχί εγώ ο Κύριος; και δεν υπάρχει εκτός εμού άλλος Θεός· Θεός δίκαιος και Σωτήρ· δεν υπάρχει εκτός εμού.
21 Publicad, y haced llegar, y entren todos en consulta: ¿quién hizo oir esto desde el principio, y lo tiene dicho desde entonces, sino yo Jehová? Y no hay más Dios que yo; Dios justo y Salvador: ningún otro fuera de mí.
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 Εις εμέ βλέψατε και σώθητε, πάντα τα πέρατα της γής· διότι εγώ είμαι ο Θεός και δεν υπάρχει άλλος.
22 Mirad á mí, y sed salvos, todos los términos de la tierra: porque yo soy Dios, y no hay más.
22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23 Ώμοσα εις εμαυτόν· ο λόγος εξήλθεν εκ του στόματός μου εν δικαιοσύνη και δεν θέλει επιστραφή, Ότι παν γόνυ θέλει κάμψει εις εμέ, πάσα γλώσσα θέλει ομνύει εις εμέ.
23 Por mí hice juramento, de mi boca salió palabra en justicia, y no será revocada: Que á mí se doblará toda rodilla, 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 Βεβαίως θέλουσιν ειπεί περί εμού, Εν τω Κυρίω είναι η δικαιοσύνη και η δύναμις· εις αυτόν θέλουσι προσέλθει και θέλουσι καταισχυνθή πάντες οι οργιζόμενοι εναντίον αυτού.
24 Y diráse de mí: Ciertamente en Jehová está la justicia y la fuerza: á él vendrán, y todos los que contra él se enardecen, serán avergonzados.
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 Εν τω Κυρίω θέλει δικαιωθή άπαν το σπέρμα του Ισραήλ.
25 En Jehová será justificada y se gloriará toda la generación de Israel.
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.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 2 (1887)
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.
