Isaiah 44 Free Bible Version (Spanish)
1 Pero ahora escucha, Jacob, mi siervo, Israel, el que he elegido.
1 Yet listen now, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen.
2 Esto es lo que dice el Señor, el que te hizo, el que te formó en el vientre y el que te ayudará: No temas, Jacob, siervo mío, Jesurún, el que yo he elegido.
2 This is what Yahweh who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 Porque voy a derramar agua sobre la tierra sedienta, y arroyos sobre la tierra seca. Voy a derramar mi Espíritu sobre tu descendencia, y mi bendición sobre tus hijos.
3 For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring;
4 Crecerán entre la hierba, como los sauces junto a los arroyos.
4 and they will spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
5 Uno de ellos dirá: “Pertenezco al Señor,” mientras que otro se llamará con el nombre de Jacob, y otro escribirá en su mano: “Pertenezco al Señor”, y se llamará Israel.
5 One will say, ‘I am Yahweh’s.’ Another will be called by the name of Jacob; and another will write with his hand ‘to Yahweh,’ and honor the name of Israel.”
6 Esto es lo que dice el Señor, el Rey y Redentor de Israel, el Señor Todopoderoso: Yo soy el primero y soy el último, y no hay otro Dios fuera de mí.
6 This is what Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies, says: “I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.
7 ¿Quién es como yo? Que lo anuncien, lo declaren y lo demuestren ante mí. Porque yo fui quien estableció hace tiempo un pueblo y predijo su futuro. Que predigan lo que va a suceder.
7 Who is like me? Who will call, and will declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? Let them declare the things that are coming, and that will happen.
8 ¡No teman, no tengan miedo! ¿No les dije hace tiempo lo que iba a hacer? ¿No les expliqué lo que iba a hacer? Ustedes son mis testigos. ¿Hay algún otro Dios además de mí? No hay otra roca, ¡no conozco ninguna!
8 Don’t fear, neither be afraid. Haven’t I declared it to you long ago, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don’t know any other Rock.”
9 Todos los que hacen ídolos son estúpidos; esas cosas que tanto aman no les aportan ningún beneficio. Esa gente que cree en ídolos no puede ver esto, y no sabe nada, lo que los hace parecer tontos.
9 Everyone who makes a carved image is vain. The things that they delight in will not profit. Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.
10 ¿Quién hace un dios, quién moldea un ídolo que no le sirve para nada?
10 Who has fashioned a god, or molds an image that is profitable for nothing?
11 Todo el que hace ídolos debería avergonzarse. Los fabricantes de ídolos son sólo seres humanos. Reúnanlos a todos y pónganlos de pie, temblando de vergüenza.
11 Behold, all his fellows will be disappointed; and the workmen are mere men. Let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up. They will fear. They will be put to shame together.
12 El herrero hace una herramienta de hierro para tallar madera. Trabajando sobre las brasas, le da forma con toda la fuerza que puede. Tiene hambre y pierde las fuerzas, y por no beber se debilita.
12 The blacksmith takes an ax, works in the coals, fashions it with hammers, and works it with his strong arm. He is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is faint.
13 El carpintero mide un trozo de madera y dibuja en él una imagen. La talla con un cincel y utiliza un compás para hacer el contorno. Crea un ídolo que parece una persona, alguien hermoso, para ponerlo en un santuario.
13 The carpenter stretches out a line. He marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes. He marks it out with compasses, and shapes it like the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to reside in a house.
14 Corta cedros, o toma un ciprés o un roble. Los deja crecer con fuerza en el bosque. Planta un abeto y la lluvia lo hace crecer.
14 He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one among the trees of the forest. He plants a cypress tree, and the rain nourishes it.
15 Quema parte de la leña para calentarse y cocer el pan. Luego utiliza parte de la misma madera para hacer un dios al que adorar, un ídolo ante el que se inclina.
15 Then it will be for a man to burn; and he takes some of it and warms himself. Yes, he burns it and bakes bread. Yes, he makes a god and worships it; he makes it a carved image, and falls down to it.
16 Entonces quema parte de la leña para asar su carne para comer, y para calentarse, y dice: “¡Ah! ¡Mira ese fuego que me mantiene caliente!”
16 He burns part of it in the fire. With part of it, he eats meat. He roasts a roast and is satisfied. Yes, he warms himself and says, “Aha! I am warm. I have seen the fire.”
17 Luego utiliza el resto de la leña para hacerse un dios, un ídolo ante el que se inclina en señal de adoración y al que reza diciendo: “¡Sálvame, porque tú eres mi dios!”
17 The rest of it he makes into a god, even his engraved image. He bows down to it and worships, and prays to it, and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”
18 ¡Qué ignorantes son, qué tontos! Sus ojos han sido tapados para que no puedan ver, sus mentes cerradas para que no tengan entendimiento.
18 They don’t know, neither do they consider, for he has shut their eyes, that they can’t see, and their hearts, that they can’t understand.
19 No pueden reflexionar, no tienen la sabiduría ni el entendimiento para decir: “Una parte de la leña que quemé en el fuego la usé para hornear mi pan y asar mi carne para comer. El resto lo usé para hacer un ídolo repugnante, y me inclino en adoración ante un bloque de madera”.
19 No one thinks, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, “I have burned part of it in the fire. Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals. I have roasted meat and eaten it. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”
20 Se alimenta de cenizas, seducido por el pensamiento engañoso de su mente. No puede salvarse a sí mismo, y ni siquiera se pregunta: “¿No es este ídolo que sostengo sólo una mentira?”
20 He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can’t deliver his soul, nor say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”
21 Acuérdate de todo esto, Jacob e Israel, porque tú eres mi siervo. Yo te hice, Israel, tú eres mi siervo. No te olvidaré.
21 Remember these things, Jacob and Israel, for you are my servant. I have formed you. You are my servant. Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22 He borrado tus actos de rebeldía como si fueran una nube, tus pecados como si fueran la niebla. Vuelve a mí, porque te he liberado.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
23 Canten en fiesta, cielos, porque el Señor ha hecho esto; griten con fuerza, profundidades de la tierra. Griten de alegría, montañas, bosques y todo árbol. Porque el Señor ha liberado a Jacob, y su gloria se muestra en Israel.
23 Sing, you heavens, for Yahweh has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for Yahweh has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.
24 Esto es lo que dice el Señor, tu Redentor, que te formó en el seno materno: “Yo soy el Señor, el Creador de todo. Sólo yo hice los cielos, y yo mismo formé la tierra.
24 Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb says: “I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;
25 Yo soy el que demuestra que las señales de los falsos profetas son erróneas. Yo soy el que pone en ridículo a los adivinos. Yo pongo al revés la sabiduría de los sabios, y hago que sus conocimientos sean ridículos.
25 who frustrates the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad; who turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;
26 Pero yo confirmo los mensajes dados por mis siervos, y cumplo lo que dicen mis mensajeros. Ellos dicen: ‘Jerusalén volverá a ser habitada, las ciudades de Judá serán reconstruidas, sus ruinas serán reparadas’.
26 who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited;’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be built,’ and ‘I will raise up its waste places;’
27 Cuando ordene a las aguas profundas: ‘¡Sécate!’ ¡me aseguraré de que los ríos se sequen!
27 who says to the deep, ‘Be dry,’ and ‘I will dry up your rivers,’
28 Cuando le diga a Ciro: ‘Tú eres mi pastor’, él cumplirá todo lo que yo quiera. Él dará la orden: Jerusalén será reconstruida, y dirá: ‘El Templo será restaurado’”.
28 who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure,’ even saying of Jerusalem, ‘She will be built;’ and of the temple, ‘Your foundation will be laid.’”

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 shall come to pass through the loving-kindness of God, who says to you, Behold, I will blot out as a cloud thy transgressions, and as a thick cloud thy sins.

However, a time will come, when all shall be consumed by fire; as Isaiah says of the God of the universe in these words, "That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers." Reject then the foolish wisdom of this world, and receive with me the more simple but infallible doctrine of truth.
