Jesaja 48 | English Standard Version

Israel Refined for God’s Glory

1 Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and who came from the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the Lord and confess the God of Israel, but not in truth or right. 2 For they call themselves after the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; the Lord of hosts is his name. 3 “The former things I declared of old; they went out from my mouth, and I announced them; then suddenly I did them, and they came to pass. 4 Because I know that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead brass, 5 I declared them to you from of old, before they came to pass I announced them to you, lest you should say, ‘My idol did them, my carved image and my metal image commanded them.’ 6 “You have heard; now see all this; and will you not declare it? From this time forth I announce to you new things, hidden things that you have not known. 7 They are created now, not long ago; before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’ 8 You have never heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been opened. For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and that from before birth you were called a rebel. 9 “For my name’s sake I defer my anger; for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off. 10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried* you in the furnace of affliction. 11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name* be profaned? My glory I will not give to another.

The Lord’s Call to Israel

12 “Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I called! I am he; I am the first, and I am the last. 13 My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand forth together. 14 “Assemble, all of you, and listen! Who among them has declared these things? The Lord loves him; he shall perform his purpose on Babylon, and his arm shall be against the Chaldeans. 15 I, even I, have spoken and called him; I have brought him, and he will prosper in his way. 16 Draw near to me, hear this: from the beginning I have not spoken in secret, from the time it came to be I have been there.” And now the Lord God has sent me, and his Spirit. 17 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. 18 Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea; 19 your offspring would have been like the sand, and your descendants like its grains; their name would never be cut off or destroyed from before me.” 20 Go out from Babylon, flee from Chaldea, declare this with a shout of joy, proclaim it, send it out to the end of the earth; say, “The Lord has redeemed his servant Jacob!” 21 They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he made water flow for them from the rock; he split the rock and the water gushed out. 22 “There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”

Infidelidad de Israel

1 Oíd esto, oh casa de Jacob, Vosotros, que lleváis el nombre de Israel, Y brotáis de la fuente de Judá; Que juráis por el nombre de YHVH, e invocáis al Dios de Israel, Pero no con sinceridad ni rectitud, 2 Aunque os consideráis de la Ciudad Santa, Y os apoyáis en el Dios de Israel, cuyo nombre es YHVH Sebaot. 3 Las cosas primeras anuncié con anticipación; Sí, de mi boca salieron: Yo las hice conocer; De repente actué, y han acontecido. 4 Porque sé que eres obstinado, y tu cerviz es un tendón de hierro, Y tu frente es de bronce, 5 Por eso te lo anuncié de antemano; Antes que sucediera te lo hice oír, Para que no dijeras: Mi ídolo lo ha hecho; Mi estatua, de leño o de fundición, lo ha ordenado. 6 Lo oíste, ¡contémplalo todo! ¿y no lo admitirás? Desde ahora te hago saber cosas nuevas, Cosas ocultas, que tú no conoces; 7 Ahora han sido creadas, y no en días pasados, Ni antes del día de hoy las habías oído, Para que no digas: Ya lo sabía. 8 Nada oíste acerca de ellas, ni las conociste, Aún no estaba abierto tu oído, Porque Yo sabía que tú actuarías deslealmente; Tanto, que desde el seno materno se te llamó rebelde. 9 Por causa de mi Nombre difiero mi ira; Para mi propia alabanza la reprimo, para no destruirte. 10 Mira, te purifico no como a plata; Te probaré en el crisol de la aflicción. 11 Por mí, por amor de mí mismo lo hago, Para que mi Nombre no sea profanado, Porque a otro no daré mi gloria. 12 Escúchame, oh Jacob; tú oh Israel, a quien llamé: Yo soy; soy el Primero, también soy el Último. 13 Mi mano cimentó la tierra y mi diestra extendió los cielos; Cuando Yo los llamo, comparecen juntos. 14 Reuníos todos y escuchad: ¿Quién de ellos ha predicho estas cosas? Aquél a quien YHVH ama, cumplirá los deseos de Él en Babilonia, Y mostrará su brazo sobre los caldeos. 15 Yo, Yo mismo he hablado y Yo lo he llamado, Lo he traído, y ha de prosperar en su camino. 16 Acercaos a mí, y oíd esto: Yo no hago predicciones en secreto, Cuando suceden, Yo ya estoy allí; Y ahora me ha enviado Adonay YHVH y su Espíritu. 17 Así dice YHVH tu Redentor, el Santo de Israel: Yo soy YHVH tu Dios, que te enseña para tu provecho, Y te conduce por el camino en que debes andar: 18 Si hubieras atendido mis mandamientos, Entonces tu paz habría sido como un río, Y tu justicia como las olas del mar. 19 Tu descendencia sería como la arena, Como sus granos, los vástagos de tus entrañas, Y tu nombre nunca sería cortado ni destruido delante de mí. 20 ¡Salid de Babilonia, huid de los caldeos! ¡Anunciad con voz de júbilo, y proclamadlo, Publicadlo hasta los confines de la tierra! Decid: ¡YHVH ha redimido a su siervo Jacob! 21 No padecieron sed cuando los guió por el desierto; Hizo brotar agua de la roca para ellos; Partió la peña, y corrieron aguas. 22 No hay paz para los malos, dice YHVH.
