Dios acusa a su pueblo

2-3 Dios le dijo a Isaías:

«Tengo un pleito
contra los israelitas,
y el cielo y la tierra
son mis testigos.

»El buey y el burro conocen a su dueño
y saben quién les da de comer;
pero a Israel, el pueblo que formé,
le falta inteligencia,
¡se ha rebelado contra mí!

»Todos ellos son pecadores
y están llenos de maldad.
Se alejaron de mí,
que soy el Dios de Israel;
¡me abandonaron por completo!

Judá, nación rebelde

¡Oigan, cielos! ¡Escucha, tierra!
    Porque el Señor ha hablado:
«Yo crie hijos y los hice crecer,
    pero ellos se rebelaron contra mí.
El buey conoce a su dueño
    y el asno el pesebre de su amo;
¡pero Israel no conoce,
    mi pueblo no comprende!».

¡Ay, nación pecadora,
    pueblo cargado de culpa,
generación de malhechores,
    hijos corruptos!
¡Han abandonado al Señor!
    ¡Han despreciado al Santo de Israel!
    ¡Le han dado la espalda!

God’s Case Against His Children

Listen, heavens, and pay attention, earth [L witnesses of the covenant; Deut. 30:19],
    because the Lord is speaking:
“I raised ·my children [or sons; C the nation Israel] and ·helped them grow [brought them] up,
    but they have ·turned [rebelled] against me.
An ox knows its ·master [owner],
    and a donkey knows ·where its owner feeds it [L the feeding trough/crib of its owner/master],
but the people of Israel do not know me;
    my people do not understand.”

·How terrible [Woe; Alas]! ·Israel is a nation of sin [L Sinful nation!],
    a people ·loaded [weighed] down with guilt,
·a group of children [offspring; brood; seed] ·doing evil [or born from evildoers],
    ·children [or sons] who ·are full of evil [act corruptly; are depraved].
They have ·left [abandoned; forsaken] the Lord;
    they ·hate [despise; or have rejected/spurned] the Holy One of Israel [C Isaiah’s favorite title for God],
and have ·turned away [become alienated/estranged] from him.

A Rebellious Nation

Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!(A)
    For the Lord has spoken:(B)
“I reared children(C) and brought them up,
    but they have rebelled(D) against me.
The ox knows(E) its master,
    the donkey its owner’s manger,(F)
but Israel does not know,(G)
    my people do not understand.(H)

Woe to the sinful nation,
    a people whose guilt is great,(I)
a brood of evildoers,(J)
    children given to corruption!(K)
They have forsaken(L) the Lord;
    they have spurned the Holy One(M) of Israel
    and turned their backs(N) on him.
