Isaías 65
Nueva Versión Internacional
Juicio y salvación
65 «Me di a conocer a los que no preguntaban por mí;
dejé que me hallaran 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
hacia un pueblo rebelde,
que va por mal camino,
siguiendo sus propios pensamientos.
3 Es un pueblo que en mi propia cara
constantemente me provoca;
que ofrece sacrificios en los jardines
y quema incienso sobre ladrillos;
4 que se sienta entre los sepulcros
y pasa la noche en vigilias secretas;
que come carne de cerdo,
y en sus ollas cocina caldo impuro;
5 que dice: “¡Manténganse alejados!
¡No se me acerquen!
¡Soy demasiado sagrado para ustedes!”.
Todo esto me fastidia como humo en la nariz;
¡es un fuego que arde todo el día!
6 »Ante mí ha quedado escrito;
no guardaré silencio.
Les daré su merecido;
lo sufrirán en carne propia,
7 tanto por las iniquidades de ustedes
como por las de sus antepasados»,
dice el Señor.
«Por cuanto ellos quemaron incienso en las montañas
y me desafiaron en las colinas,
les haré sufrir en carne propia
las consecuencias de sus acciones pasadas».
8 Así dice el Señor:
«Cuando alguien encuentra un buen racimo de uvas,
dice: “No lo dañen,
porque en él hay bendición”.
Del mismo modo actuaré yo por amor a mis siervos:
No los destruiré a todos.
9 De Jacob sacaré descendientes,
y de Judá, a los que poseerán mis montañas.
Las heredarán mis elegidos
y allí morarán mis siervos.
10 Para mi pueblo que me busca,
Sarón será corral de ovejas;
el valle de Acor, corral de vacas.
11 »Pero a ustedes que abandonan al Señor
y se olvidan de mi monte santo,
que para el dios de la fortuna preparan una mesa
y para el dios del destino sirven vino mezclado,
12 los destinaré a la espada;
todos ustedes se inclinarán para el degüello.
Porque llamé y no me respondieron,
hablé y no me escucharon.
Más bien, hicieron lo malo ante mis ojos
y optaron por lo que no me agrada».
13 Por eso, así dice el Señor y Dios:
«Mis siervos comerán,
pero ustedes pasarán hambre;
mis siervos beberán,
pero ustedes sufrirán de sed;
mis siervos se alegrarán,
pero ustedes serán avergonzados.
14 Mis siervos cantarán
con alegría de corazón,
pero ustedes clamarán
con corazón angustiado;
gemirán con espíritu quebrantado.
15 Mis escogidos heredarán el nombre de ustedes
como una maldición.
El Señor y Dios les dará muerte,
pero a sus siervos dará un nombre diferente.
16 Cualquiera que en el país invoque una bendición,
lo hará por el Dios de la verdad;
y cualquiera que jure en esta tierra,
lo hará por el Dios de la verdad.
Las angustias del pasado quedarán en el olvido,
ocultas ante mis ojos.
Un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva
17 »Presten atención, que estoy por crear
un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva.
No volverán a mencionarse las cosas pasadas
ni se traerán a la memoria.
18 Alégrense más bien y regocíjense por siempre,
por lo que estoy a punto de crear:
Estoy por crear una Jerusalén feliz,
un pueblo lleno de alegría.
19 Me regocijaré por Jerusalén
y me alegraré en mi pueblo;
no volverán a oírse en ella
voces de llanto ni gritos de clamor.
20 »Nunca más habrá en ella
niños que vivan pocos días
ni ancianos que no completen sus años.
El que muera a los cien años
será considerado joven;
pero el que no llegue[a] a esa edad
será considerado maldito.
21 Construirán casas y las habitarán;
plantarán viñas y comerán de su fruto.
22 Ya no construirán casas para que otros las habiten
ni plantarán viñas para que otros coman.
Porque los días de mi pueblo
serán como los de un árbol;
mis escogidos disfrutarán
de las obras de sus manos.
23 No trabajarán en vano
ni tendrán hijos para la desgracia;
tanto ellos como su descendencia
serán simiente bendecida del Señor.
24 Antes que me llamen, yo les responderé;
todavía estarán hablando cuando ya los habré escuchado.
25 El lobo y el cordero pacerán juntos;
el león comerá paja como el buey
y la serpiente se alimentará de polvo.
En todo mi monte santo
no habrá quien haga daño ni destruya»,
dice el Señor.

Isaiah 65
New International Version
Judgment and Salvation
65 “I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me;
I was found by those who did not seek me.(A)
To a nation(B) that did not call on my name,(C)
I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’
2 All day long I have held out my hands
to an obstinate people,(D)
who walk in ways not good,
pursuing their own imaginations(E)—
3 a people who continually provoke me
to my very face,(F)
offering sacrifices in gardens(G)
and burning incense(H) on altars of brick;
4 who sit among the graves(I)
and spend their nights keeping secret vigil;
who eat the flesh of pigs,(J)
and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;
5 who say, ‘Keep away; don’t come near me,
for I am too sacred(K) for you!’
Such people are smoke(L) in my nostrils,
a fire that keeps burning all day.
6 “See, it stands written before me:
I will not keep silent(M) but will pay back(N) in full;
I will pay it back into their laps(O)—
7 both your sins(P) and the sins of your ancestors,”(Q)
says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
and defied me on the hills,(R)
I will measure into their laps
the full payment(S) for their former deeds.”
8 This is what the Lord says:
“As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes(T)
and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it,
there is still a blessing in it,’
so will I do in behalf of my servants;(U)
I will not destroy them all.
9 I will bring forth descendants(V) from Jacob,
and from Judah those who will possess(W) my mountains;
my chosen(X) people will inherit them,
and there will my servants live.(Y)
10 Sharon(Z) will become a pasture for flocks,(AA)
and the Valley of Achor(AB) a resting place for herds,
for my people who seek(AC) me.
11 “But as for you who forsake(AD) the Lord
and forget my holy mountain,(AE)
who spread a table for Fortune
and fill bowls of mixed wine(AF) for Destiny,
12 I will destine you for the sword,(AG)
and all of you will fall in the slaughter;(AH)
for I called but you did not answer,(AI)
I spoke but you did not listen.(AJ)
You did evil in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(AK)
13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“My servants will eat,(AL)
but you will go hungry;(AM)
my servants will drink,(AN)
but you will go thirsty;(AO)
my servants will rejoice,(AP)
but you will be put to shame.(AQ)
14 My servants will sing(AR)
out of the joy of their hearts,
but you will cry out(AS)
from anguish of heart
and wail in brokenness of spirit.
15 You will leave your name
for my chosen ones to use in their curses;(AT)
the Sovereign Lord will put you to death,
but to his servants he will give another name.(AU)
16 Whoever invokes a blessing(AV) in the land
will do so by the one true God;(AW)
whoever takes an oath in the land
will swear(AX) by the one true God.
For the past troubles(AY) will be forgotten
and hidden from my eyes.
New Heavens and a New Earth
17 “See, I will create
new heavens and a new earth.(AZ)
The former things will not be remembered,(BA)
nor will they come to mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice(BB) forever
in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem(BC) to be a delight
and its people a joy.
19 I will rejoice(BD) over Jerusalem
and take delight(BE) in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying(BF)
will be heard in it no more.
20 “Never again will there be in it
an infant(BG) who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not live out his years;(BH)
the one who dies at a hundred
will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred
will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses(BI) and dwell in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(BJ)
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,(BK)
or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,(BL)
so will be the days(BM) of my people;
my chosen(BN) ones will long enjoy
the work of their hands.
23 They will not labor in vain,(BO)
nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;(BP)
for they will be a people blessed(BQ) by the Lord,
they and their descendants(BR) with them.
24 Before they call(BS) I will answer;(BT)
while they are still speaking(BU) I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb(BV) will feed together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox,(BW)
and dust will be the serpent’s(BX) food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,”(BY)
says the Lord.

Isaiah 65
New King James Version
The Righteousness of God’s Judgment
65 “I was (A)sought by those who did not ask for Me;
I was found by those who did not seek Me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’
To a nation that (B)was not called by My name.
2 (C)I have stretched out My hands all day long to a (D)rebellious people,
Who (E)walk in a way that is not good,
According to their own thoughts;
3 A people (F)who provoke Me to anger continually to My face;
(G)Who sacrifice in gardens,
And burn incense on altars of brick;
4 (H)Who sit among the graves,
And spend the night in the tombs;
(I)Who eat swine’s flesh,
And the broth of [a]abominable things is in their vessels;
5 (J)Who say, ‘Keep to yourself,
Do not come near me,
For I am holier than you!’
These [b]are smoke in My nostrils,
A fire that burns all the day.
6 “Behold, (K)it is written before Me:
(L)I will not keep silence, (M)but will repay—
Even repay into their bosom—
7 Your iniquities and (N)the iniquities of your fathers together,”
Says the Lord,
(O)“Who have burned incense on the mountains
(P)And blasphemed Me on the hills;
Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.”
8 Thus says the Lord:
“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
And one says, ‘Do not destroy it,
For (Q)a blessing is in it,’
So will I do for My servants’ sake,
That I may not destroy them (R)all.
9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,
And from Judah an heir of My mountains;
My (S)elect shall inherit it,
And My servants shall dwell there.
10 (T)Sharon shall be a fold of flocks,
And (U)the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down,
For My people who have (V)sought Me.
11 “But you are those who forsake the Lord,
Who forget (W)My holy mountain,
Who prepare (X)a table for [c]Gad,
And who furnish a drink offering for [d]Meni.
12 Therefore I will number you for the sword,
And you shall all bow down to the slaughter;
(Y)Because, when I called, you did not answer;
When I spoke, you did not hear,
But did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”
13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, 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 ashamed;
14 Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart,
But you shall cry for sorrow of heart,
And (Z)wail for [e]grief of spirit.
15 You shall leave your name (AA)as a curse to (AB)My chosen;
For the Lord God will slay you,
And (AC)call His servants by another name;
16 (AD)So that he who blesses himself in the earth
Shall bless himself in the God of truth;
And (AE)he who swears in the earth
Shall swear by the God of truth;
Because the former troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My eyes.
The Glorious New Creation
17 “For behold, I create (AF)new heavens and a new earth;
And the former shall not be remembered or [f]come to mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing,
And her people a joy.
19 (AG)I will rejoice in Jerusalem,
And joy in My people;
The (AH)voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,
Nor the voice of crying.
20 “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days,
Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;
For the child shall die one hundred years old,
(AI)But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 (AJ)They shall build houses and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 They shall not build and another inhabit;
They shall not plant and (AK)another eat;
For (AL)as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people,
And (AM)My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labor in vain,
(AN)Nor bring forth children for trouble;
For (AO)they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord,
And their offspring with them.
24 “It shall come to pass
That (AP)before they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will (AQ)hear.
25 The (AR)wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
The lion shall eat straw like the ox,
(AS)And dust shall be the serpent’s food.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,”
Says the Lord.
