Sufrimientos del Siervo de Jehová

13 He aquí que mi siervo será prosperado, será engrandecido y exaltado, y será puesto muy en alto. 14 Como se asombraron de ti muchos, de tal manera fue desfigurado de los hombres su parecer, y su hermosura más que la de los hijos de los hombres, 15 así asombrará él a muchas naciones; los reyes cerrarán ante él la boca, porque verán lo que nunca les fue contado, y entenderán lo que jamás habían oído.(A)

53 ¿Quién ha creído a nuestro anuncio?(B) ¿y sobre quién se ha manifestado el brazo de Jehová?(C) Subirá cual renuevo delante de él, y como raíz de tierra seca; no hay parecer en él, ni hermosura; le veremos, mas sin atractivo para que le deseemos. Despreciado y desechado entre los hombres, varón de dolores, experimentado en quebranto; y como que escondimos de él el rostro, fue menospreciado, y no lo estimamos.

Ciertamente llevó él nuestras enfermedades, y sufrió nuestros dolores;(D) y nosotros le tuvimos por azotado, por herido de Dios y abatido. Mas él herido fue por nuestras rebeliones, molido por nuestros pecados; el castigo de nuestra paz fue sobre él, y por su llaga fuimos nosotros curados.(E) Todos nosotros nos descarriamos como ovejas,(F) cada cual se apartó por su camino; mas Jehová cargó en él el pecado de todos nosotros.

Angustiado él, y afligido, no abrió su boca; como cordero fue llevado al matadero;(G) y como oveja delante de sus trasquiladores, enmudeció, y no abrió su boca. Por cárcel y por juicio fue quitado; y su generación, ¿quién la contará? Porque fue cortado de la tierra de los vivientes,(H) y por la rebelión de mi pueblo fue herido. Y se dispuso con los impíos su sepultura, mas con los ricos fue en su muerte; aunque nunca hizo maldad, ni hubo engaño en su boca.(I)

10 Con todo eso, Jehová quiso quebrantarlo, sujetándole a padecimiento. Cuando haya puesto su vida en expiación por el pecado, verá linaje, vivirá por largos días, y la voluntad de Jehová será en su mano prosperada. 11 Verá el fruto de la aflicción de su alma, y quedará satisfecho; por su conocimiento justificará mi siervo justo a muchos, y llevará las iniquidades de ellos. 12 Por tanto, yo le daré parte con los grandes, y con los fuertes repartirá despojos; por cuanto derramó su vida hasta la muerte, y fue contado con los pecadores,(J) habiendo él llevado el pecado de muchos, y orado por los transgresores.

El amor eterno de Jehová hacia Israel

54 Regocíjate, oh estéril, la que no daba a luz; levanta canción y da voces de júbilo, la que nunca estuvo de parto; porque más son los hijos de la desamparada que los de la casada,(K) ha dicho Jehová. Ensancha el sitio de tu tienda, y las cortinas de tus habitaciones sean extendidas; no seas escasa; alarga tus cuerdas, y refuerza tus estacas. Porque te extenderás a la mano derecha y a la mano izquierda; y tu descendencia heredará naciones, y habitará las ciudades asoladas.

No temas, pues no serás confundida; y no te avergüences, porque no serás afrentada, sino que te olvidarás de la vergüenza de tu juventud, y de la afrenta de tu viudez no tendrás más memoria. Porque tu marido es tu Hacedor; Jehová de los ejércitos es su nombre; y tu Redentor, el Santo de Israel; Dios de toda la tierra será llamado. Porque como a mujer abandonada y triste de espíritu te llamó Jehová, y como a la esposa de la juventud que es repudiada, dijo el Dios tuyo: Por un breve momento te abandoné, pero te recogeré con grandes misericordias. Con un poco de ira escondí mi rostro de ti por un momento; pero con misericordia eterna tendré compasión de ti, dijo Jehová tu Redentor.

Porque esto me será como en los días de Noé, cuando juré que nunca más las aguas de Noé pasarían sobre la tierra;(L) así he jurado que no me enojaré contra ti, ni te reñiré. 10 Porque los montes se moverán, y los collados temblarán, pero no se apartará de ti mi misericordia, ni el pacto de mi paz se quebrantará, dijo Jehová, el que tiene misericordia de ti.

11 Pobrecita, fatigada con tempestad, sin consuelo; he aquí que yo cimentaré tus piedras sobre carbunclo, y sobre zafiros te fundaré. 12 Tus ventanas pondré de piedras preciosas, tus puertas de piedras de carbunclo, y toda tu muralla de piedras preciosas.(M) 13 Y todos tus hijos serán enseñados por Jehová;(N) y se multiplicará la paz de tus hijos. 14 Con justicia serás adornada; estarás lejos de opresión, porque no temerás, y de temor, porque no se acercará a ti. 15 Si alguno conspirare contra ti, lo hará sin mí; el que contra ti conspirare, delante de ti caerá. 16 He aquí que yo hice al herrero que sopla las ascuas en el fuego, y que saca la herramienta para su obra; y yo he creado al destruidor para destruir. 17 Ninguna arma forjada contra ti prosperará, y condenarás toda lengua que se levante contra ti en juicio. Esta es la herencia de los siervos de Jehová, y su salvación de mí vendrá, dijo Jehová.

Misericordia gratuita para todos

55 A todos los sedientos: Venid a las aguas;(O) y los que no tienen dinero, venid, comprad y comed. Venid, comprad sin dinero y sin precio, vino y leche. ¿Por qué gastáis el dinero en lo que no es pan, y vuestro trabajo en lo que no sacia? Oídme atentamente, y comed del bien, y se deleitará vuestra alma con grosura. Inclinad vuestro oído, y venid a mí; oíd, y vivirá vuestra alma; y haré con vosotros pacto eterno, las misericordias firmes a David.(P) He aquí que yo lo di por testigo a los pueblos, por jefe y por maestro a las naciones. He aquí, llamarás a gente que no conociste, y gentes que no te conocieron correrán a ti, por causa de Jehová tu Dios, y del Santo de Israel que te ha honrado.

Buscad a Jehová mientras puede ser hallado, llamadle en tanto que está cercano. Deje el impío su camino, y el hombre inicuo sus pensamientos, y vuélvase a Jehová, el cual tendrá de él misericordia, y al Dios nuestro, el cual será amplio en perdonar. Porque mis pensamientos no son vuestros pensamientos, ni vuestros caminos mis caminos, dijo Jehová. Como son más altos los cielos que la tierra, así son mis caminos más altos que vuestros caminos, y mis pensamientos más que vuestros pensamientos.

10 Porque como desciende de los cielos la lluvia y la nieve, y no vuelve allá, sino que riega la tierra, y la hace germinar y producir, y da semilla al que siembra, y pan al que come,(Q) 11 así será mi palabra que sale de mi boca; no volverá a mí vacía, sino que hará lo que yo quiero, y será prosperada en aquello para que la envié.

12 Porque con alegría saldréis, y con paz seréis vueltos; los montes y los collados levantarán canción delante de vosotros, y todos los árboles del campo darán palmadas de aplauso. 13 En lugar de la zarza crecerá ciprés, y en lugar de la ortiga crecerá arrayán; y será a Jehová por nombre, por señal eterna que nunca será raída.

Recompensa de los que guardan el pacto de Dios

56 Así dijo Jehová: Guardad derecho, y haced justicia; porque cercana está mi salvación para venir, y mi justicia para manifestarse. Bienaventurado el hombre que hace esto, y el hijo de hombre que lo abraza; que guarda el día de reposo[a] para no profanarlo, y que guarda su mano de hacer todo mal.

Y el extranjero que sigue a Jehová no hable diciendo: Me apartará totalmente Jehová de su pueblo. Ni diga el eunuco: He aquí yo soy árbol seco. Porque así dijo Jehová: A los eunucos que guarden mis días de reposo,[b] y escojan lo que yo quiero, y abracen mi pacto, yo les daré lugar en mi casa y dentro de mis muros, y nombre mejor que el de hijos e hijas; nombre perpetuo les daré, que nunca perecerá. Y a los hijos de los extranjeros que sigan a Jehová para servirle, y que amen el nombre de Jehová para ser sus siervos; a todos los que guarden el día de reposo[c] para no profanarlo, y abracen mi pacto, yo los llevaré a mi santo monte, y los recrearé en mi casa de oración; sus holocaustos y sus sacrificios serán aceptos sobre mi altar; porque mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todos los pueblos.(R) Dice Jehová el Señor, el que reúne a los dispersos de Israel: Aún juntaré sobre él a sus congregados.

Todas las bestias del campo, todas las fieras del bosque, venid a devorar. 10 Sus atalayas son ciegos, todos ellos ignorantes; todos ellos perros mudos, no pueden ladrar; soñolientos, echados, aman el dormir. 11 Y esos perros comilones son insaciables; y los pastores mismos no saben entender; todos ellos siguen sus propios caminos, cada uno busca su propio provecho, cada uno por su lado. 12 Venid, dicen, tomemos vino, embriaguémonos de sidra; y será el día de mañana como este, o mucho más excelente.

Condenación de la idolatría de Israel

57 Perece el justo, y no hay quien piense en ello; y los piadosos mueren, y no hay quien entienda que de delante de la aflicción es quitado el justo. Entrará en la paz; descansarán en sus lechos todos los que andan delante de Dios. Mas vosotros llegaos acá, hijos de la hechicera, generación del adúltero y de la fornicaria. ¿De quién os habéis burlado? ¿Contra quién ensanchasteis la boca, y alargasteis la lengua? ¿No sois vosotros hijos rebeldes, generación mentirosa, que os enfervorizáis con los ídolos debajo de todo árbol frondoso, que sacrificáis los hijos en los valles, debajo de los peñascos? En las piedras lisas del valle está tu parte; ellas, ellas son tu suerte; y a ellas derramaste libación, y ofreciste presente. ¿No habré de castigar estas cosas? Sobre el monte alto y empinado pusiste tu cama; allí también subiste a hacer sacrificio. Y tras la puerta y el umbral pusiste tu recuerdo; porque a otro, y no a mí, te descubriste, y subiste, y ensanchaste tu cama, e hiciste con ellos pacto; amaste su cama dondequiera que la veías. Y fuiste al rey con ungüento, y multiplicaste tus perfumes, y enviaste tus embajadores lejos, y te abatiste hasta la profundidad del Seol. 10 En la multitud de tus caminos te cansaste, pero no dijiste: No hay remedio; hallaste nuevo vigor en tu mano, por tanto, no te desalentaste.

11 ¿Y de quién te asustaste y temiste, que has faltado a la fe, y no te has acordado de mí, ni te vino al pensamiento? ¿No he guardado silencio desde tiempos antiguos, y nunca me has temido? 12 Yo publicaré tu justicia y tus obras, que no te aprovecharán.

13 Cuando clames, que te libren tus ídolos; pero a todos ellos llevará el viento, un soplo los arrebatará; mas el que en mí confía tendrá la tierra por heredad, y poseerá mi santo monte. 14 Y dirá: Allanad, allanad; barred el camino, quitad los tropiezos del camino de mi pueblo. 15 Porque así dijo el Alto y Sublime, el que habita la eternidad, y cuyo nombre es el Santo: Yo habito en la altura y la santidad, y con el quebrantado y humilde de espíritu, para hacer vivir el espíritu de los humildes, y para vivificar el corazón de los quebrantados. 16 Porque no contenderé para siempre, ni para siempre me enojaré; pues decaería ante mí el espíritu, y las almas que yo he creado. 17 Por la iniquidad de su codicia me enojé, y le herí, escondí mi rostro y me indigné; y él siguió rebelde por el camino de su corazón. 18 He visto sus caminos; pero le sanaré, y le pastorearé, y le daré consuelo a él y a sus enlutados; 19 produciré fruto de labios: Paz, paz al que está lejos y al cercano,(S) dijo Jehová; y lo sanaré. 20 Pero los impíos son como el mar en tempestad, que no puede estarse quieto, y sus aguas arrojan cieno y lodo. 21 No hay paz, dijo mi Dios, para los impíos.(T)

The Exalted Servant

13 Behold, My (A)Servant will prosper,
He will be high and lifted up and [a]greatly (B)exalted.
14 Just as many were appalled at you, My people,
So His (C)appearance was marred beyond that of a man,
And His form beyond the sons of mankind.
15 So [b]He will (D)sprinkle many nations,
Kings will (E)shut their mouths on account of Him;
For (F)what they had not been told, they will see,
And what they had not heard, they will understand.

The Suffering Servant

53 (G)Who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For He grew up before Him like a (H)tender [c]shoot,
And like a root out of dry ground;
He has (I)no stately form or majesty
That we would look at Him,
Nor an appearance that we would take pleasure in Him.
He was (J)despised and abandoned by men,
A man of [d]great pain and (K)familiar with sickness;
And like one from whom people hide their faces,
He was (L)despised, and we had no (M)regard for Him.

However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself (N)bore,
And our pains that He carried;
Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,
Struck down by (O)God, and humiliated.
But He was [e]pierced for (P)our offenses,
He was crushed for (Q)our wrongdoings;
The (R)punishment for our [f]well-being was laid upon Him,
And by (S)His wounds we are healed.
All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the wrongdoing of us all
To [g]fall on Him.

He was oppressed and afflicted,
Yet He did not (T)open His mouth;
(U)Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off from the land of the [h]living
(V)For the wrongdoing of my people, to whom the blow was due?
And His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a (W)rich man in His death,
(X)Because He had (Y)done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

10 But the Lord desired
To (Z)crush Him, [i](AA)causing Him grief;
If He renders [j]Himself as a guilt (AB)offering,
He will see (AC)His [k]offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the [l]good (AD)pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
11 As a result of the [m]anguish of His soul,
He will [n](AE)see it and be satisfied;
By His (AF)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
For He will (AG)bear their wrongdoings.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a (AH)portion with the great,
And He will divide the plunder with the strong,
Because He poured out His [o](AI)life unto death,
And was (AJ)counted with wrongdoers;
Yet He Himself (AK)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the wrongdoers.

The Fertility of Zion

54 (AL)Shout for joy, infertile one, you who have not given birth to any child;
Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor;
For the sons of the (AM)desolate one will be (AN)more numerous
Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.
(AO)Enlarge the place of your tent;
[p]Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not spare them;
Lengthen your (AP)ropes
And strengthen your (AQ)pegs.
For you will (AR)spread out to the right and to the left.
And your [q]descendants will (AS)possess nations
And will (AT)resettle the desolate cities.

“Fear not, for you will (AU)not be put to shame;
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the (AV)shame of your youth,
And no longer remember the (AW)disgrace of your widowhood.
For your (AX)husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the Lord of armies;
And your (AY)Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the (AZ)God of all the earth.
For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife (BA)forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
[r]For a (BB)brief moment I abandoned you,
But with great compassion I will (BC)gather you.
In an [s](BD)outburst of anger
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting (BE)favor I will (BF)have compassion on you,”
Says the Lord your (BG)Redeemer.

“For [t]this is like the days of Noah to Me,
When I swore that the waters of Noah
Would (BH)not [u]flood the earth again;
So I have sworn that I will (BI)not be angry with you
Nor rebuke you.
10 For the (BJ)mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
But My [v]favor will not be removed from you,
Nor will My (BK)covenant of peace be shaken,”
Says (BL)the Lord who has compassion on you.

11 (BM)Afflicted one, storm-tossed, and (BN)not comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And I will (BO)lay your foundations with [w](BP)sapphires.
12 Moreover, I will make your battlements of [x]rubies,
And your gates of [y]crystal,
And your entire [z]wall of precious stones.
13 (BQ)All your sons will be [aa]taught by the Lord;
And the well-being of your sons will be (BR)great.
14 In (BS)righteousness you will be established;
You will be far from (BT)oppression, for you will (BU)not fear;
And from (BV)terror, for it will not come near you.
15 If anyone fiercely attacks you, it will not be from Me.
(BW)Whoever attacks you will fall because of you.
16 Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals
And produces a weapon for its work;
And I have created the destroyer to inflict ruin.
17 (BX)No weapon that is formed against you will succeed;
And you will condemn (BY)every tongue that [ab]accuses you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their (BZ)vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord.

The Free Offer of Mercy

55 [ac]You there! Everyone who (CA)thirsts, come to the waters;
And you who have (CB)no [ad]money come, buy and eat.
Come, buy (CC)wine and milk
(CD)Without money and without cost.
Why do you [ae]spend money for what is (CE)not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and (CF)eat what is good,
And (CG)delight yourself in abundance.
(CH)Incline your ear and come to Me.
Listen, that [af]you may (CI)live;
And I will make (CJ)an everlasting covenant with you,
According to the (CK)faithful mercies [ag]shown to David.
Behold, I have made (CL)him a witness to the peoples,
A (CM)leader and commander for the peoples.
Behold, you will call a (CN)nation you do not know,
And a nation which does not know you will (CO)run to you,
Because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel;
For He has (CP)glorified you.”

(CQ)Seek the Lord while He may be found;
(CR)Call upon Him while He is near.
(CS)Let the wicked abandon his way,
And the unrighteous person his (CT)thoughts;
And let him (CU)return to the Lord,
And He will have (CV)compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will (CW)abundantly pardon.
“For My thoughts are not (CX)your thoughts,
Nor are (CY)your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
“For (CZ)as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the (DA)rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it produce and sprout,
And providing (DB)seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 So will My (DC)word be which goes out of My mouth;
It will (DD)not return to Me empty,
Without (DE)accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.
12 For you will go out with (DF)joy
And be led in (DG)peace;
The (DH)mountains and the hills will break into shouts of joy before you,
And all the (DI)trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 Instead of the (DJ)thorn bush, the (DK)juniper will come up,
And instead of the (DL)stinging nettle, the myrtle will come up;
And [ah]it will be a [ai](DM)memorial to the Lord,
An everlasting (DN)sign which (DO)will not be eliminated.”

Rewards for Obedience to God

56 This is what the Lord says:
(DP)Guard justice and do righteousness,
For My (DQ)salvation is about to come
And My righteousness to be revealed.
(DR)Blessed is a man who does this,
And a son of man who (DS)takes hold of it;
Who (DT)keeps from profaning the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
Let not the (DU)foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will certainly separate me from His people.”
Nor let the (DV)eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs who (DW)keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And (DX)hold firmly to My covenant,
To them I will give in My (DY)house and within My (DZ)walls a memorial,
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give [aj]them an everlasting (EA)name which (EB)will not be eliminated.

“Also the (EC)foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
To attend to His service and to love the name of the Lord,
To be His servants, every one who (ED)keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it,
And holds firmly to My covenant;
Even (EE)those I will bring to My (EF)holy mountain,
And (EG)make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on (EH)My altar;
For (EI)My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
The Lord [ak]God, who (EJ)gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares,
“I will yet gather (EK)others to [al]them, to those already gathered.”

All you [am](EL)wild animals,
All you animals in the forest,
Come to eat.
10 His (EM)watchmen are (EN)blind,
All of them know nothing.
All of them are mute dogs unable to bark,
Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;
11 And the dogs are [an](EO)greedy, they [ao]are never satisfied.
And they are shepherds who have (EP)no understanding;
They have all (EQ)turned to their own way,
Each one to his unjust gain, [ap]without exception.
12 “Come,” they say, “[aq]let’s get (ER)wine, and let’s drink heavily of intoxicating drink;
And (ES)tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”

Evil Leaders Rebuked

57 The righteous person perishes, and no one (ET)takes it to heart;
And devout people are taken away, while no one understands.
For the righteous person is taken away from (EU)evil,
He enters into peace;
They rest in their [ar]beds,
Each one who (EV)walked in his upright way.
“But come here, you sons of a (EW)sorceress,
(EX)Offspring of an adulterer and [as]a (EY)prostitute!
Of whom do you make fun?
Against whom do you open wide your mouth
And stick out your tongue?
Are you not children of (EZ)rebellion,
Offspring of deceit,
Who inflame yourselves among the (FA)oaks,
(FB)Under every luxuriant tree,
Who (FC)slaughter the children in the [at]ravines,
Under the clefts of the rocks?
Among the [au](FD)smooth stones of the [av]ravine
Is your portion, [aw]they are your lot;
Even to them you have (FE)poured out a drink offering,
You have made a grain offering.
Should I [ax](FF)relent of these things?
On a (FG)high and lofty mountain
You have (FH)made your bed.
You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
Behind the door and the doorpost
You have set up your sign;
Indeed, far removed from Me, you have (FI)uncovered yourself,
And have gone up and made your bed wide.
And you have made an agreement for yourself with them,
You have loved their bed,
You have looked at their [ay]manhood.
You have journeyed to the king with oil
And increased your perfumes;
You have (FJ)sent your messengers a great distance
And made them go down to [az]Sheol.
10 You were tired out by the length of your road,
Yet you did not say, ‘(FK)It is hopeless!’
You found [ba]renewed strength,
Therefore you did not [bb]faint.

11 “Of (FL)whom were you worried and fearful
When you lied, and did (FM)not remember Me
[bc]Nor (FN)give Me a thought?
Was I not silent, even for a long time,
So you do not fear Me?
12 I will (FO)declare your righteousness and your (FP)deeds,
And they will not benefit you.
13 When you cry out, (FQ)let your collection of idols save you.
But the wind will carry them all up,
And a breath will take them away.
But the one who (FR)takes refuge in Me will (FS)inherit the land
And (FT)possess My holy mountain.”

14 And it will be said,
(FU)Build up, build up, prepare the way,
Remove every obstacle from the way of My people.”
15 For this is what the (FV)high and exalted One
Who [bd](FW)lives forever, whose name is Holy, says:
“I (FX)dwell in a high and holy place,
And also with the (FY)contrite and lowly of spirit
In order to (FZ)revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 For I will (GA)not contend forever,
(GB)Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would grow faint before Me,
And the (GC)breath of those whom I have made.
17 Because of the wrongful act of his (GD)unjust gain I was angry and struck him;
I hid My face and was angry,
And he went on (GE)turning away, in the way of his heart.
18 I have seen his ways, but I will (GF)heal him;
I will (GG)lead him and (GH)restore comfort to him and to his mourners,
19 Creating the [be](GI)praise of the lips.
(GJ)Peace, peace to him who is (GK)far away and to him who is near,”
Says the Lord, “and I will heal him.”
20 But the (GL)wicked are like the tossing sea,
For it cannot be quiet,
And its waters toss up refuse and mud.
21 (GM)There is no peace,” says (GN)my God, “for the wicked.”
