Isaías 1
Palabra de Dios para Todos
1 Esta es la visión que tuvo Isaías hijo de Amoz acerca de Judá y Jerusalén durante la época en que los reyes Uzías, Jotán, Acaz y Ezequías reinaron en Judá.
El caso contra Israel
2 Oigan los cielos y escuche la tierra
lo que dice el SEÑOR:
«Crié a mis hijos y los saqué adelante,
pero ellos se rebelaron contra mí.
3 El buey conoce a su amo,
y el burro, el lugar donde lo alimentan;
pero Israel no me conoce,
mi pueblo no tiene entendimiento».
4 ¡Qué nación tan pecadora,
qué pueblo tan perverso!
Generación mala,
hijos depravados como mala semilla.
Han dejado al SEÑOR.
Le han faltado al respeto al Santo de Israel
y le han dado la espalda.
5 ¿Por qué buscan más castigo
y se siguen rebelando?
Tienen toda la cabeza lastimada
y el corazón todo enfermo.
6 Están padeciendo de pies a cabeza,
llenos de golpes, moretones
y heridas abiertas que no han sido curadas
ni vendadas, ni aliviadas con aceite.
7 Su país está en ruinas,
sus ciudades incendiadas.
Ustedes han visto cómo la gente extranjera
ha explotado y arrasado su tierra.
8 La hija de Sion[a] ha quedado tirada
como enramada en un viñedo,
como choza en un sembrado de pepinos,
como ciudad sitiada por enemigos.
9 Si el SEÑOR Todopoderoso
no hubiera dejado que unos cuantos de nuestro pueblo sobrevivieran,
hubiéramos quedado como Sodoma
y como Gomorra.
10 Gobernantes de Sodoma,
oigan el mensaje del SEÑOR.
Pueblo de Gomorra,
escucha la enseñanza de Dios.
11 El SEÑOR dice:
«¿Para qué me traen tantos sacrificios?
Estoy cansado de sus sacrificios que deben quemarse completamente
y de la grasa de los animales bien cebados.
No me complace la sangre de los toros,
ni de los corderos ni de las cabras.
12 ¿Quién les pide estas cosas
cuando ustedes vienen a presentarse
ante mí pisoteando mis patios?
13 No me traigan más ofrendas inútiles.
Su incienso me desagrada.
Ya no aguanto sus reuniones de Luna Nueva,
los días de descanso y las demás fiestas religiosas mientras practican el pecado.
14 Detesto sus fiestas de Luna Nueva y demás fiestas religiosas.
Todo eso se me ha hecho insoportable,
estoy cansado de todo eso.
15 Cuando ustedes alzan sus manos hacia mí para orar,
yo me niego a prestarles atención.
Ya no escucharé su gran cantidad de oraciones
porque ustedes tienen las manos
manchadas de opresión y de violencia.
16 Límpiense y purifíquense,
quiten sus maldades de mi vista,
dejen de hacer el mal
17 y aprendan a hacer el bien.
Sean honestos con los demás,
ayuden al oprimido,
hagan valer los derechos de los huérfanos
y defiendan a las viudas».
18 So yo, el SEÑOR, quien te habla:
«Vengan y arreglemos el pleito.
Aunque sus pecados sean como el rojo encendido,
ustedes quedarán tan blancos como la nieve.
Aunque sean rojos como la púrpura,
ustedes serán tan blancos como la lana.
19 Si ustedes están dispuestos a obedecerme,
entonces disfrutarán las riquezas del país;
20 pero si se resisten y se rebelan contra mí,
morirán a manos de sus enemigos».
Eso es lo que yo, el SEÑOR, he dicho con mi propia boca.
Jerusalén infiel: una canción triste
21 La ciudad fiel se volvió una prostituta.
Antes estaba habitada por gente justa,
en ella vivía la justicia,
pero ahora está llena de asesinos.
22 Tu plata quedó hecha escoria,
y tu vino fino está ahora rebajado con agua.
23 Tus gobernantes son rebeldes
y amigos de los delincuentes.
Todos ellos desean sobornos
y quieren regalos.
Ninguno defiende los derechos de los huérfanos
ni la causa de las viudas.
24 Por eso el Soberano SEÑOR Todopoderoso,
el Fuerte de Israel, se expresa así:
«¡Ah! Me vengaré de mis enemigos
y así me desquitaré de mis adversarios.
25 Luego te voy a agarrar,
te fundiré con potasa para quitar tu escoria
y limpiaré así tus impurezas.
26 Traeré de nuevo a ti jueces como los de antes,
y consejeros como los que tenías al principio.
Otra vez volverán a llamarte
“Ciudad fiel”, “Ciudad de justicia”».
27 Cuando la gente de Sion haga el bien,
será salvada.
28 Pero que los rebeldes y pecadores sean destruidos todos juntos;
y que desaparezcan los que abandonan al SEÑOR.
29 Ciertamente ustedes, idólatras,
serán avergonzados
por causa de los robles que adoraron
y sentirán vergüenza de los jardines sagrados[b].
30 Ustedes serán como un roble fuerte todo marchito,
o como un jardín que se ha secado.
31 El más fuerte será como paja
y el que lo juntó será como una chispa;
ambos se quemarán
y nadie los apagará.
Isaiah 1
New International Version
1 The vision(A) concerning Judah and Jerusalem(B) that Isaiah son of Amoz saw(C) during the reigns of Uzziah,(D) Jotham,(E) Ahaz(F) and Hezekiah,(G) kings of Judah.
A Rebellious Nation
2 Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!(H)
For the Lord has spoken:(I)
“I reared children(J) and brought them up,
but they have rebelled(K) against me.
3 The ox knows(L) its master,
the donkey its owner’s manger,(M)
but Israel does not know,(N)
my people do not understand.(O)”
4 Woe to the sinful nation,
a people whose guilt is great,(P)
a brood of evildoers,(Q)
children given to corruption!(R)
They have forsaken(S) the Lord;
they have spurned the Holy One(T) of Israel
and turned their backs(U) on him.
5 Why should you be beaten(V) anymore?
Why do you persist(W) in rebellion?(X)
Your whole head is injured,
your whole heart(Y) afflicted.(Z)
6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head(AA)
there is no soundness(AB)—
only wounds and welts(AC)
and open sores,
not cleansed or bandaged(AD)
or soothed with olive oil.(AE)
7 Your country is desolate,(AF)
your cities burned with fire;(AG)
your fields are being stripped by foreigners(AH)
right before you,
laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.(AI)
8 Daughter Zion(AJ) is left(AK)
like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut(AL) in a cucumber field,
like a city under siege.
9 Unless the Lord Almighty
had left us some survivors,(AM)
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.(AN)
10 Hear the word of the Lord,(AO)
you rulers of Sodom;(AP)
listen to the instruction(AQ) of our God,
you people of Gomorrah!(AR)
11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?” says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;(AS)
I have no pleasure(AT)
in the blood of bulls(AU) and lambs and goats.(AV)
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,(AW)
this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!(AX)
Your incense(AY) is detestable(AZ) to me.
New Moons,(BA) Sabbaths and convocations(BB)—
I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
14 Your New Moon(BC) feasts and your appointed festivals(BD)
I hate with all my being.(BE)
They have become a burden to me;(BF)
I am weary(BG) of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands(BH) in prayer,
I hide(BI) my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.(BJ)
16 Wash(BM) and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;(BN)
stop doing wrong.(BO)
17 Learn to do right;(BP) seek justice.(BQ)
Defend the oppressed.[a](BR)
Take up the cause of the fatherless;(BS)
plead the case of the widow.(BT)
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”(BU)
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;(BV)
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.(BW)
19 If you are willing and obedient,(BX)
you will eat the good things of the land;(BY)
20 but if you resist and rebel,(BZ)
you will be devoured by the sword.”(CA)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(CB)
21 See how the faithful city
has become a prostitute!(CC)
She once was full of justice;
righteousness(CD) used to dwell in her—
but now murderers!(CE)
22 Your silver has become dross,(CF)
your choice wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels,(CG)
partners with thieves;(CH)
they all love bribes(CI)
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.(CJ)
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
the Mighty One(CK) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
and avenge(CL) myself on my enemies.(CM)
25 I will turn my hand against you;[b](CN)
I will thoroughly purge(CO) away your dross(CP)
and remove all your impurities.(CQ)
26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old,(CR)
your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called(CS)
the City of Righteousness,(CT)
the Faithful City.(CU)”
27 Zion will be delivered with justice,
her penitent(CV) ones with righteousness.(CW)
28 But rebels and sinners(CX) will both be broken,
and those who forsake(CY) the Lord will perish.(CZ)
29 “You will be ashamed(DA) because of the sacred oaks(DB)
in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens(DC)
that you have chosen.
30 You will be like an oak with fading leaves,(DD)
like a garden without water.
31 The mighty man will become tinder
and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
with no one to quench the fire.(DE)”

Isaiah 1
New King James Version
Judah Called to Repentance
1 The (A)vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the (B)days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
The Wickedness of Judah
2 (C)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;
3 (D)The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s [a]crib;
But Israel (E)does not know,
My people do not [b]consider.”
4 Alas, sinful nation,
A people [c]laden with iniquity,
(F)A [d]brood of evildoers,
Children who are corrupters!
They have forsaken the Lord,
They have provoked to anger
The Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away backward.
5 (G)Why should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head,
There is no soundness in it,
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.
7 (H)Your country is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 So the daughter of Zion is left (I)as a [e]booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
(J)As a besieged city.
9 (K)Unless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like (L)Sodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord,
You rulers (M)of Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah:
11 “To what purpose is the multitude of your (N)sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.
12 “When you come (O)to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
13 Bring no more (P)futile[f] sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and (Q)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your (R)New Moons and your (S)appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 (T)When you [g]spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
(U)Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of [h]blood.
16 “Wash(V) yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
(W)Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke [i]the oppressor;
[j]Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.
18 “Come now, and let us (X)reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
(Y)They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
(Z)For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
The Degenerate City
21 (AA)How the faithful city has become a [k]harlot!
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now (AB)murderers.
22 (AC)Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water.
23 (AD)Your princes are rebellious,
And (AE)companions of thieves;
(AF)Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They (AG)do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord says,
The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,
“Ah, (AH)I will [l]rid Myself of My adversaries,
And [m]take vengeance on My enemies.
25 I will turn My hand against you,
And (AI)thoroughly[n] purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy.
26 I will restore your judges (AJ)as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward (AK)you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.”
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
And her [o]penitents with righteousness.
28 The (AL)destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together,
And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For [p]they shall be ashamed of the [q]terebinth trees
Which you have desired;
And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens
Which you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades,
And as a garden that has no water.
31 (AM)The strong shall be as tinder,
And the work of it as a spark;
Both will burn together,
And no one shall (AN)quench them.

Isaías 1
Nueva Biblia Viva
1 Estos son los mensajes que recibió Isaías, hijo de Amoz, en unas visiones que tuvo durante los reinados de Uzías, Jotán, Acaz y Ezequías, todos ellos reyes de Judá. En estos mensajes Dios le mostró lo que habría de ocurrirles a Judá y a Jerusalén en los días por venir.
Judá, nación rebelde
2 Escuchen, cielo y tierra, lo que dice el Señor:
Los hijos que crie y cuidé por tanto tiempo y tan tiernamente se han vuelto contra mí. 3 Hasta los animales —el burro y el buey— conocen a su amo y agradecen sus cuidados, ¡pero no así mi pueblo Israel! Haga lo que haga por ellos, les tiene sin cuidado. 4 ¡Qué nación tan pecadora! Andan encorvados bajo la carga de su culpa. También sus padres fueron malvados. Nacidos para el mal, le volvieron las espaldas al Señor y menospreciaron al Santo de Israel. Ellos mismos se han alejado de mi auxilio.
5-6 Oh pueblo mío, ¿no han recibido suficiente castigo? ¿Por qué obligarme a azotarlos una y otra vez? ¿Es su intención ser rebeldes toda la vida? De la cabeza a los pies están enfermos, débiles y desfallecidos, cubiertos de magulladuras, verdugones y heridas infectadas, sin ungir ni vendar. 7 Su patria está en ruinas, sus ciudades incendiadas. Mientras ustedes se la pasan mirando, los extranjeros destruyen y saquean cuanto ven. 8 Y ahí se quedan ustedes, indefensos y abandonados como si fueran una de esas chozas inútiles que usan los vigilantes en el campo luego de terminada la cosecha, pero cuando el producto de la cosecha ya ha sido saqueado y robado.
9 Si el Señor Todopoderoso no hubiera intervenido para salvar a unos cuantos de nosotros, habríamos sido destruidos como lo fueron Sodoma y Gomorra. 10 ¡Es una buena comparación! Escuchen, jefes de Israel, hombres de Sodoma y Gomorra, como ahora les llamo. ¡Escuchen al Señor! ¡Escuchen lo que les dice! 11 Sus sacrificios me tienen harto, no me los traigan más. No quiero sus carneros engordados, no quiero ver la sangre de sus ofrendas. 12-13 ¿Cómo he de querer los sacrificios de ustedes si ni siquiera son capaces de sentir dolor por sus pecados? El incienso que me traen hiede en mis narices. Sus santas celebraciones de la luna nueva y el sábado, y sus días de ayuno especial —aun sus más santas reuniones—, ¡todo es fraude! No quiero nada más con ellos. 14 Los detesto a todos, no puedo verlos ni pintados. 15 De ahora en adelante, cuando oren con las manos levantadas al cielo, no miraré ni escucharé. Por más oraciones que hagan, no escucharé, porque sus manos son manos de asesinos, están manchadas con la sangre de víctimas inocentes.
16 ¡Oh, lávense, límpiense! Que no les vea yo nunca más cometer esas maldades; dejen sus malos caminos. 17 Aprendan a hacer el bien, a ser justos y a ayudar a los pobres, a los huérfanos y a las viudas.
18 ¡Vengan y aclaremos las cuentas! —dice el Señor—, por profunda que sea la mancha de sus pecados, yo puedo quitarla y dejarlos tan limpios como la nieve recién caída. ¡Aunque sus manchas sean rojas como el carmesí, yo puedo volverlas blancas como la lana! 19 Si me dejan ayudarlos, que me puedan obedecer, yo los enriqueceré. 20 Pero si continúan volviéndome las espaldas y negándose a escucharme, morirán a manos de sus enemigos. Yo, el Señor, se los aseguro.
21 ¡Oh Jerusalén, que fuiste mi fiel esposa, ahora eres una ramera! ¡Corres tras otros dioses! Fuiste «La Ciudad de la Justicia», pero hoy eres guarida de asesinos. 22 Fuiste como plata purificada, pero ahora estás mezclada con ruin aleación. Fuiste muy pura, pero ahora estás diluida como vino aguado. 23 Tus caudillos son rebeldes, compinches de ladrones; todos son sobornables y no defienden a las viudas ni a los huérfanos. 24 Por tanto, así dice el Señor, el Señor Todopoderoso, el Poderoso de Israel, dice: ¡Derramaré mi ira sobre ustedes, enemigos tuyos! 25 Yo mismo los derretiré en la fundición y les sacaré la escoria.
26 Y después les daré buenos jueces y sabios consejeros como los que antes tenían. Entonces nuevamente la ciudad de ustedes se llamará «La Ciudad de la Justicia» y «La Ciudad Fiel». 27 Los que regresen al Señor deben ser justos y buenos, y entonces serán redimidos. 28 Pero todos los pecadores serán totalmente aniquilados, porque rehúsan venir a mí. 29 Los cubriré de vergüenza, y enrojecerán pensando en aquellas ocasiones en que sacrificaban ante los ídolos en sus bosques de encinas «sagradas». 30 Perecerán como lo hace un árbol marchito o un huerto sin agua. 31 Los más fuertes de ustedes desaparecerán como paja en el fuego; sus maldades son la chispa que enciende la paja, y nadie podrá apagarla.
Isaiah 1
International Standard Version
The Vision of Isaiah
1 This[a] is the vision that Amoz’s son Isaiah[b] had about Judah and Jerusalem during the reigns[c] of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Rebellious Judah
2 Listen, you heavens,
and let the[d] earth pay attention,
because the Lord has spoken:
“I reared children
and brought them to adulthood,
but then they rebelled against me.
3 The ox knows its owner,
and the donkey its master’s feeding trough,
but[e] Israel doesn’t know,
and[f] my people don’t understand.
4 “Oh, you sinful nation!
You people burdened down by iniquity!
You offspring of those who keep practicing what is evil!
You corrupt children!
“They’ve abandoned the Lord;
they’ve despised the Holy One of Israel;
in their estrangement, they’ve walked away from me.[g]
5 “Why will you still be struck down?
Why will you continue to rebel?
Your whole head is sick,
and your whole heart is faint.
6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head,
there’s no soundness evident[h]—
only bruises, sores,
and festering wounds
that haven’t been cleaned out,
bandaged, or treated[i] with oil.”
God’s Diagnosis
7 “Your country lies desolate;
your cities have been incinerated.
Before your very eyes,
foreigners are devouring your land—
they’ve brought devastation on it,[j]
while the land is[k] overthrown by foreigners.
8 “The daughter of Zion is left abandoned,
like a booth in a vineyard,
like a hut in a cucumber field,
or like a city under siege.
9 If the Lord of the Heavenly Armies
hadn’t left us a few survivors,
we would be like Sodom;
we would be like Gomorrah.
10 “Listen to what the Lord says,
you rulers of Sodom,
and[l] pay attention to the teaching of our God,
you people of Gomorrah!
11 “How do your voluminous sacrifices benefit me?”
the Lord is asking.
“I’ve had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts.
I don’t enjoy the blood of bulls,
lambs, or goats.
12 “When you come to present yourselves in my presence,[m]
who has required you
to trample on my courts?
13 Stop bringing useless offerings!
Incense is detestable to me,
as are your New Moons, Sabbaths, and calling of convocations.
I cannot stand iniquity within[n] a solemn assembly.
14 As for your New Moons and your appointed festivals,
I abhor[o] them.
They’ve become a burden to me;
I’ve grown weary of carrying that burden.[p]
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,[q]
I’ll hide my eyes from you.
Even though you pray repeatedly,
I won’t listen.
Your hands are full of blood,
your fingers drenched[r] with iniquity.”[s]
An Invitation to Reconciliation
16 “Wash yourselves,
and[t] make yourselves clean;
remove your evil behavior
from my presence;
stop practicing what is evil.
17 Learn to practice what is good;
seek justice,
alleviate oppression,[u]
defend orphans[v] in court,
and[w] plead the widow’s case.
18 “Please come,
and let’s reason together,” implores the Lord.
“Even though your[x] sins are like scarlet,
they’ll be white like snow.
Though they’re like crimson,[y]
they’ll become like wool.
19 If you’re willing and obedient,
you’ll eat the best that the land produces;
20 but[z] if you refuse and rebel,
you’ll be devoured by the sword,[aa]
because the Lord[ab] has spoken.”
Diagnosis and Judgment
21 “How the faithful city
has become a whore,
she who used to be filled with justice!
Righteousness used to reside within her,
but now only murderers live there.
22 Your silver has[ac] become dross,
your best wine is diluted with water.
23 Your princes are rebels
and companions of thieves.
All of them are lovers of[ad] bribes
and are runners[ae] after gifts.
They don’t bring justice to orphans,[af]
and the widow’s case never comes up for review in their court.”[ag]
Restoration and Redemption
24 Therefore this is what the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies,
the one who is Israel’s Mighty One, declares:
“Now I’ll get relief from his[ah] enemies
and avenge myself on his[ai] foes.
25 When I turn[aj] my attention to you,[ak]
I’ll refine your dross as in a furnace.[al]
I’ll remove[am] all your alloy.
26 Let me restore[an] your judges as at the first,
and your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward you’ll be called ‘The Righteous City’
and ‘The Faithful City of Zion’.[ao]
27 “Zion[ap] will be redeemed by justice,
and her repentant ones[aq] by righteousness.
28 Rebels and sinners will be broken together,
and those who forsake the Lord will be consumed.
29 They’ll be ashamed of the oak trees
that you desired;
and you’ll blush because of the gardens
that you have chosen.
30 You’ll be like an oak
whose leaf is withering,
like an unwatered garden.
31 Your[ar] strong one[as] will be like tinder,
and your work[at] a spark;
both of them will burn together,
with no one to quench the flames that burn[au] them.”
