Isaiah 43 Free Bible Version (Spanish)
1 Pero ahora esto es lo que el Señor dice a Jacob, el que te creó; a Israel, el que te formó: “¡No tengas miedo! Yo te he salvado. Te he llamado por tu nombre; eres mío.
1 But now Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.
2 Cuando camines por las aguas, yo estaré contigo; y cuando atravieses los ríos, no se desbordarán sobre ti. Cuando camines por el fuego, no te quemarás; las llamas no te prenderán.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.
3 Porque yo soy el Señor, tu Dios, el Santo de Israel, tu Salvador. Entregué Egipto para pagar tu libertad; cambié Etiopía y Seba por ti.
3 For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4 Porque ustedes son tan valiosos para mí, porque los honro y porque los amo, doy pueblos a cambio de ustedes, naciones a cambio de sus vidas.
4 Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you, therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.
5 “¡No tengan miedo, porque yo estoy con ustedes! Los traeré a ustedes y a sus hijos desde el este y el oeste, y los reuniré.
5 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west.
6 Le diré al norte: ‘¡Entréguenlos!’ y al sur: ‘¡No los detengan!’ Hagan volver a mis hijos de lejos y a mis hijas de tierras lejanas.
6 I will tell the north, ‘Give them up!’ and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back! Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
7 Que vuelvan todos los que llevan mi nombre, los que he creado para mi honor, a los que he formado y creado.
7 everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.’”
8 “Que vuelvan los que tienen ojos y están ciegos, los que tienen oídos y están sordos.
8 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
9 ¡Que se reúnan todas las naciones! ¡Que se reúnan todos los pueblos! ¿Quién de ellos pudo decir esto y predecir lo que iba a suceder? Que traigan sus testigos para demostrar que tienen razón. Entonces que escuchen y digan: ‘Es verdad!’
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, “That is true.”
10 “Sin embargo, ustedes son mis testigos, declara el Señor, y mi siervo elegido, para que piensen en ello, y me crean y comprendan que yo soy Dios. Ningún dios me precedió, y ninguno vendrá después de mí.
10 “You are my witnesses,” says Yahweh, “With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.
11 Yo, sí, yo soy el Señor, y no hay salvador fuera de mí.
11 I myself am Yahweh. Besides me, there is no savior.
12 Yo predije lo que iba a suceder, luego los salvé, luego lo anuncié; no hubo ningún dios extranjero entre ustedes que hiciera esto. Ustedes son mis testigos de que yo soy Dios, declara el Señor.
12 I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses”, says Yahweh, “and I am God.
13 Yo soy Dios desde el principio. Nadie puede arrebatar a nadie de mi mano. Nadie puede anular lo que yo hago.
13 Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”
14 “Esto es lo que dice el Señor, tu Redentor, el Santo de Israel: Por ti enviaré atacantes contra Babilonia y los haré caer. Todos los babilonios serán como fugitivos, escapando en los barcos de los que están tan orgullosos.
14 Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.
15 Yo soy el Señor, tu Santo, el Creador de Israel y tu Rey.
15 I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16 Esto es lo que dice el Señor, el que hace un camino a través del mar, un sendero a través de las aguas impetuosas;
16 Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,
17 el que sacó un gran ejército con sus caballos y carros y los puso en el suelo, para no volver a levantarse, apagados como una mecha encendida.
17 who brings out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick) says:
18 “Pero no te fijes en el pasado; no te concentres en lo que pasó entonces.
18 “Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old.
19 ¡Mira lo nuevo que voy a hacer ahora! De hecho, ya ha empezado. ¿No lo ves? Sí, estoy abriendo un camino en el desierto, ríos en el desierto.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 Los animales salvajes me estarán agradecidos, los chacales y las lechuzas, porque estoy proporcionando agua en el desierto, ríos en el desierto, para que mi pueblo, mi pueblo elegido, pueda beber.
20 The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me, because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21 Hice a este pueblo para mí, para que a través de su alabanza hacia mí me diera a conocer.
21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.
22 “Pero no me has pedido ayuda, Jacob. Te has cansado de mí, Israel.
22 Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.
23 No me has traído ovejas para los holocaustos; no me has honrado con tus sacrificios. No te he agobiado pidiendo ofrendas de grano; no te he cansado exigiendo incienso.
23 You have not brought me any of your sheep for burnt offerings, neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
24 No has usado tu dinero para comprar cálamo aromático; no me has complacido con la grasa de tus sacrificios. En cambio, me has cargado con tus pecados y me has cansado con tus culpas.
24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices, but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.
25 Yo, sí, soy el Dios que borra tus pecados por ser quien soy, y que ya no se acuerda de tus pecados.
25 I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.
26 ¡Recuérdame las pruebas para que podamos llegar a una decisión juntos! ¡Presenta tu caso para demostrar que tienes razón!
26 Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Declare your case, that you may be justified.
27 Tu primer padre pecó, y tus líderes se rebelaron contra mí.
27 Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.
28 Por eso traté con desprecio a los sacerdotes del santuario, y entregué a Jacob para que fuera destruido, y a Israel para que fuera despreciado”.
28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel an insult.”

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).
… is, the Father bearing witness to the Son, and the Son announcing the Father.--As also Esaias says, "I too am witness," he declares, "saith the Lord God, and the Son whom I have chosen, that ye may know, and believe, and understand that I am."
Therefore doth God appoint righteousness as a reward for such repentance, saying, "Be thou first to tell thy sins, that thou mayest be justified." For it is not, it is not indeed, a small step towards amendment, to lay together all our sins, and to be continually revolving and reckoning them up with their particulars.

… Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the ends of the earth; all, as many as have been called in My name: for in My glory I have prepared, and formed, and made him." Inasmuch as then, "wheresoever the carcase is, there shall also the eagles be gathered together," …
… Me in sacrifices, nor in [the matter of] frankincense hast thou done anything laboriously; neither hast thou bought for Me incense with money, nor have I desired the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast stood before Me in thy sins and in thine iniquities." He says, therefore, "Upon this man will I look, even upon him that is humble, …
