Isaiah 65
English Standard Version
Judgment and Salvation
65 (A)I was ready to be sought by (B)those who did not ask for me;
I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.
I said, “Here I am, here I am,”
to a nation that was not called by[a] my name.
2 (C)I spread out my hands all the day
to a rebellious people,
who walk in a way that is not good,
following their own devices;
3 a people who provoke me
to my face continually,
(D)sacrificing in gardens
and making offerings on bricks;
4 who sit in tombs,
and spend the night in secret places;
(E)who eat pig's flesh,
and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels;
5 who say, “Keep to yourself,
do not come near me, for I am too holy for you.”
(F)These are a smoke in my nostrils,
a fire that burns all the day.
6 Behold, (G)it is written before me:
(H)“I will not keep silent, but I will repay;
(I)I will indeed repay into their lap
7 both your iniquities (J)and your fathers' iniquities together,
says the Lord;
(K)because they made offerings on the mountains
(L)and insulted me on the hills,
I will measure into their lap
payment for their former deeds.”[b]
8 Thus says the Lord:
(M)“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
and they say, ‘Do not destroy it,
for there is a blessing in it,’
so I will do for my servants' sake,
(N)and not destroy them all.
9 (O)I will bring forth offspring from Jacob,
and from Judah possessors of my mountains;
my chosen shall possess it,
and my servants shall dwell there.
10 (P)Sharon shall become a pasture for flocks,
and (Q)the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,
for my people (R)who have sought me.
11 But (S)you who forsake the Lord,
who forget (T)my holy mountain,
who (U)set a table for Fortune
and (V)fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny,
12 I will destine you to the sword,
and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,
(W)because, when I called, you did not answer;
when I spoke, you did not listen,
(X)but you did what was evil in my eyes
and chose what I did not delight in.”
13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, (Y)my servants shall eat,
but you shall be hungry;
behold, my servants shall drink,
but you shall be thirsty;
behold, my servants shall rejoice,
but you shall be put to shame;
14 behold, (Z)my servants shall sing for gladness of heart,
but you shall cry out for pain of heart
and shall wail for breaking of spirit.
15 You shall leave your name to (AA)my chosen (AB)for a curse,
and the Lord God will put you to death,
but his servants (AC)he will call by another name,
16 so that he who (AD)blesses himself in the land
shall bless himself by (AE)the God of truth,
and he who takes an oath in the land
shall swear by (AF)the God of truth;
(AG)because the former troubles are forgotten
and are hidden from my eyes.
New Heavens and a New Earth
17 “For behold, (AH)I create new heavens
and a new earth,
and the former things shall not be remembered
or come into mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever
in that which I create;
for behold, (AI)I create Jerusalem to be a joy,
and her people to be a gladness.
19 (AJ)I will rejoice in Jerusalem
and be glad in my people;
(AK)no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping
and the cry of distress.
20 No more shall there be in it
an infant who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not fill out his days,
for (AL)the young man shall die a hundred years old,
and (AM)the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 (AN)They shall build houses and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 (AO)They shall not build and another inhabit;
they shall not plant and another eat;
(AP)for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,
and my chosen shall long enjoy[c] the work of their hands.
23 (AQ)They shall not labor in vain
(AR)or bear children for calamity,[d]
for (AS)they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord,
and their descendants with them.
24 (AT)Before they call I will answer;
(AU)while they are yet speaking I will hear.
25 (AV)The wolf and the lamb shall graze together;
the lion shall eat straw like the ox,
and (AW)dust shall be the serpent's food.
(AX)They shall not hurt or destroy
in all my holy mountain,”
says the Lord.

Dios responde a la oración del profeta
65 “Yo me dejé buscar por los que no preguntaban por mí; me dejé hallar por los que no me buscaban. A una nación que no invocaba mi nombre dije: ‘¡Aquí estoy; aquí estoy!’. 2 Todo el día extendí mis manos a un pueblo rebelde que anda por un camino que no es bueno, tras sus propios pensamientos. 3 Este es un pueblo que en mi propia cara me provoca a ira continuamente, ofreciendo sacrificios en los jardines y quemando incienso sobre ladrillos. 4 Moran en los sepulcros y pasan la noche en lugares secretos. Comen carne de cerdo, y en sus ollas hay caldoa de cosas contaminadas. 5 Ellos dicen: ‘Quédate en tu lugar. No te acerques a mí, porque soy más santo que tú’. Estos son como humo en mi nariz, fuego que arde todo el día.
6 “He aquí que está escrito delante de mí. No callaré, sino que daré la retribución; sí, les daré su retribución en su propio seno. 7 Por sus iniquidades y por las iniquidades de sus padres juntamente, dice el SEÑOR, quienes quemaron incienso sobre los montes y me afrentaron sobre las colinas, yo les repartiré en su mismo seno la retribución por sus obras del pasado”.
8 Así ha dicho el SEÑOR: “Como cuando alguien halla jugo en un racimo de uvas y dice: ‘No lo destruyas, porque en él hay bendición’, así procederé yo por causa de mis siervos para no destruirlo del todo. 9 Sacaré de Jacob descendencia; y de Judá, al heredero de mis montes. Entonces mis escogidos poseerán la tierra como heredad, y mis siervos habitarán allí. 10 Sarón será transformada en pastizal para ovejas, y el valle de Acor en lugar de reposo para vacas, para mi pueblo que me ha buscado.
11 “Pero ustedes, los que abandonan al SEÑOR, los que se olvidan de mi monte santo, los que preparan mesa para la Fortuna y vierten vino mezclado para el Destino, 12 yo también los destinaré a la espada, y todos ustedes se arrodillarán para el degüello. Porque llamé, y no respondieron; hablé, y no escucharon, sino que hicieron lo malo ante mis ojos y escogieron lo que a mí no me agrada”.
13 Por tanto, así ha dicho el SEÑOR Dios[a]: “He aquí que mis siervos comerán, pero ustedes tendrán hambre; mis siervos beberán, pero ustedes tendrán sed; mis siervos se alegrarán, pero ustedes serán avergonzados. 14 He aquí que mis siervos cantarán por el júbilo del corazón, pero ustedes gritarán por el dolor del corazón, y gemirán por el quebrantamiento del espíritu. 15 Dejarán su nombre como maldición a mis elegidos. El SEÑOR Dios[b] te hará morir, pero a sus siervos llamará con otro nombre.
16 “Cualquiera que sea bendecido en la tierra será bendecido por el Dios de la verdad, y el que jure en la tierra jurará por el Dios de la verdad. Pues las angustias del pasado habrán sido olvidadas y estarán ya encubiertas a mis ojos. 17 Porque he aquí que yo creo cielos nuevos y tierra nueva. No habrá más memoria de las cosas primeras, ni vendrán más al pensamiento. 18 Más bien, gócense y alégrense para siempre en las cosas que yo he creado. Porque he aquí que yo he creado a Jerusalén para alegría, y a su pueblo para gozo. 19 Yo me gozaré por Jerusalén y me regocijaré por mi pueblo. Nunca más se oirá en ella la voz del llanto ni la voz del clamor. 20 No habrá allí más bebés que vivan pocos días ni viejos que no completen sus días. Porque el más joven morirá a los cien años, y el que no llegue a los cien años será considerado maldito. 21 Edificarán casas y las habitarán; plantarán viñas y comerán de su fruto.
22 No edificarán para que otro habite ni plantarán para que otro coma; porque como la edad de los árboles será la edad de mi pueblo. Mis escogidos disfrutarán plenamente de las obras de sus manos. 23 No se esforzarán en vano ni darán a luz hijos para el terror; porque serán linaje bendito del SEÑOR, y de igual manera sus descendientes. 24 Y sucederá que antes que llamen, yo responderé; y mientras estén hablando, yo los escucharé.
25 “El lobo y el cordero pacerán juntos. El león comerá paja como el buey, y la serpiente se alimentará de polvo. No harán daño ni destruirán en todo mi santo monte”, ha dicho el SEÑOR.

Isaiah 65
King James Version
65 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
8 Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
11 But ye are they that forsake the Lord, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
