Isaiah 50
Lexham English Bible
50 Thus says Yahweh:
“Where is this divorce document of your mother’s divorce, with which I dismissed her?
or to whom of my creditors did I sell you?
Look! you were sold because of your sin,
and your mother was dismissed because of your transgressions.
2 Why was there no man when I came,
no one who answered when I called?
Do I lack the strength to save?[a]
Or is there no power in me to deliver?
Look! by my rebuke I dry up the sea;
I make[b] the rivers a desert;
their fish stink because there is no water,
and they[c] die because of thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with darkness,
and I make[d] their covering sackcloth.”
The Servant’s Vindication
4 The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of a pupil,
to know how to help the weary with a word.
He awakens morning by morning,[e]
awakens an ear for me to listen as do the pupils.
5 The Lord Yahweh has opened an ear for me,
and I, I was not rebellious.
I did not turn backwards;
6 I gave my back to those who struck me,
and my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;[f]
I did not hide my face from insults and spittle.
7 And the Lord Yahweh helps me,
therefore I have not been put to shame;
therefore I have set my face like flint.
And I know that I shall not be ashamed;
8 he who obtains rights for me is near.
Who will contend with me? Let us stand together.
Who is the master of my judgment? Let him approach me.
9 Look! The Lord Yahweh helps me.
Who is the one who will declare me guilty?
Look! All of them will be worn out like a garment;
the moth will eat them.
10 Who among you is in fear of Yahweh,
obeys[g] the voice of his servant?
Who walks in darkness
and has no light,
trusts in the name of Yahweh
and depends on his God?
11 Look! All of you are kindlers of fire,
who gird yourselves with flaming arrows.
Walk in the light of your fire,
and among the flaming arrows you have kindled!
You shall have this from my hand:
you shall lie down in[h] a place of torment.

Israel’s Sin and the Servant’s Obedience
50 This is what the Lord says:
“Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce(A)
with which I sent her away?
Or to which of my creditors
did I sell(B) you?
Because of your sins(C) you were sold;(D)
because of your transgressions your mother was sent away.
2 When I came, why was there no one?
When I called, why was there no one to answer?(E)
Was my arm too short(F) to deliver you?
Do I lack the strength(G) to rescue you?
By a mere rebuke(H) I dry up the sea,(I)
I turn rivers into a desert;(J)
their fish rot for lack of water
and die of thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with darkness(K)
and make sackcloth(L) its covering.”
4 The Sovereign Lord(M) has given me a well-instructed tongue,(N)
to know the word that sustains the weary.(O)
He wakens me morning by morning,(P)
wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.(Q)
5 The Sovereign Lord(R) has opened my ears;(S)
I have not been rebellious,(T)
I have not turned away.
6 I offered my back to those who beat(U) me,
my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;(V)
I did not hide my face
from mocking and spitting.(W)
7 Because the Sovereign Lord(X) helps(Y) me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,(Z)
and I know I will not be put to shame.(AA)
8 He who vindicates(AB) me is near.(AC)
Who then will bring charges against me?(AD)
Let us face each other!(AE)
Who is my accuser?
Let him confront me!
9 It is the Sovereign Lord(AF) who helps(AG) me.
Who will condemn(AH) me?
They will all wear out like a garment;
the moths(AI) will eat them up.
10 Who among you fears(AJ) the Lord
and obeys(AK) the word of his servant?(AL)
Let the one who walks in the dark,
who has no light,(AM)
trust(AN) in the name of the Lord
and rely on their God.
11 But now, all you who light fires
and provide yourselves with flaming torches,(AO)
go, walk in the light of your fires(AP)
and of the torches you have set ablaze.
This is what you shall receive from my hand:(AQ)
You will lie down in torment.(AR)

El pecado de Israel y la obediencia del siervo
50 Así dice el Señor:
«A vuestra madre, yo la repudié;
¿dónde está el acta de divorcio?
¿A cuál de mis acreedores os he vendido?
Por causa de vuestras iniquidades,
fuisteis vendidos;
por vuestras transgresiones
fue despedida vuestra madre.
2 ¿Por qué no había nadie cuando vine?
¿Por qué nadie respondió cuando llamé?
¿Tan corta es mi mano que no puede rescatar?
¿Me falta acaso fuerza para liberarlos?
Yo seco el mar con una simple reprensión,
y convierto los ríos en desierto;
por falta de agua, sus peces se pudren
y se mueren de sed.
3 A los cielos los revisto de tinieblas
y los cubro de ceniza».
4 El Señor omnipotente me ha concedido
tener una lengua instruida,
para sostener con mi palabra al fatigado.
Todas las mañanas me despierta,
y también me despierta el oído,
para que escuche como los discípulos.
5 El Señor omnipotente me ha abierto los oídos,
y no he sido rebelde ni me he vuelto atrás.
6 Ofrecí mi espalda a los que me golpeaban,
mis mejillas a los que me arrancaban la barba;
ante las burlas y los escupitajos
no escondí mi rostro.
7 Por cuanto el Señor omnipotente me ayuda,
no seré humillado.
Por eso endurecí mi rostro como el pedernal,
y sé que no seré avergonzado.
8 Cercano está el que me justifica;
¿quién entonces contenderá conmigo?
¡Comparezcamos juntos!
¿Quién es mi acusador?
¡Que se enfrente a mí!
9 ¡El Señor omnipotente es quien me ayuda!
¿Quién me condenará?
Todos ellos se gastarán;
como a la ropa, la polilla se los comerá.
10 ¿Quién de entre vosotros teme al Señor
y obedece la voz de su siervo?
Aunque camine en la oscuridad,
y sin un rayo de luz,
que confíe en el nombre del Señor
y dependa de su Dios.
11 Pero vosotros que encendéis fuegos
y preparáis antorchas encendidas,
caminad a la luz de vuestro propio fuego
y de las antorchas que habéis encendido.
Esto es lo que vosotros recibiréis de mi mano:
en medio de tormentos quedaréis tendidos.
