Isaiah 50
King James Version
50 Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
5 The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God.
11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
Isaías 50
La Biblia de las Américas
Exhortación a confiar en el Señor
50 Así dice el Señor:
¿Dónde está esa carta de divorcio(A)
con la que repudié a vuestra madre(B)?
¿O a cuál de mis acreedores os vendí(C)?
He aquí, por vuestras iniquidades fuisteis vendidos(D),
y por vuestras transgresiones(E) fue repudiada vuestra madre(F).
2 ¿Por qué cuando vine no había nadie,
y cuando llamé no había quien respondiera(G)?
¿Acaso es tan corta mi mano que no puede rescatar(H),
o no tengo poder para librar?
He aquí, con mi reprensión seco el mar(I),
convierto los ríos en desierto(J);
sus peces hieden por falta de agua,
mueren de sed.
3 Yo visto de negrura los cielos,
y hago de cilicio su cobertura(K).
4 El Señor Dios[a] me ha dado lengua de discípulo[b](L),
para que yo sepa sostener con una palabra al fatigado(M).
Mañana tras mañana(N) me despierta,
despierta mi oído para escuchar como los discípulos.
5 El Señor Dios me ha abierto el oído(O);
y no fui desobediente(P),
ni me volví atrás.
6 Di mis espaldas a los que me herían,
y mis mejillas a los que me arrancaban la barba;
no escondí mi rostro de injurias y esputos(Q).
7 El Señor Dios me ayuda(R),
por eso no soy humillado,
por eso como pedernal he puesto mi rostro,
y sé que no seré avergonzado(S).
8 Cercano está el que me justifica(T);
¿quién contenderá conmigo?
Comparezcamos juntos(U);
¿quién es el enemigo de mi causa?
Que se acerque a mí.
9 He aquí, el Señor Dios me ayuda(V);
¿quién es el que me condena(W)?
He aquí, todos ellos como un vestido se gastarán,
la polilla se los comerá(X).
10 ¿Quién hay entre vosotros que tema al Señor,
que oiga la voz de su siervo(Y),
que ande en tinieblas y no tenga luz(Z)?
Confíe en el nombre del Señor y apóyese en su Dios(AA).
11 He aquí, todos vosotros que encendéis fuego(AB),
que os rodeáis[c] de teas,
andad a la lumbre de vuestro fuego
y entre las teas que habéis encendido.
Esto os vendrá de mi mano:
en tormento yaceréis(AC).

Isaiah 50
New King James Version
The Servant, Israel’s Hope
50 Thus says the Lord:
“Where is (A)the certificate of your mother’s divorce,
Whom I have put away?
Or which of My (B)creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
For your iniquities (C)you have sold yourselves,
And for your transgressions your mother has been put away.
2 Why, when I came, was there no man?
Why, when I called, was there none to answer?
Is My hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Indeed with My (D)rebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink because there is no water,
And die of thirst.
3 (E)I clothe the heavens with blackness,
(F)And I make sackcloth their covering.”
4 “The(G) Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is (H)weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
5 The Lord God (I)has opened My ear;
And I was not (J)rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.
6 (K)I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And (L)My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and (M)spitting.
7 “For the Lord God will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore (N)I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
8 (O)He is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is [a]My adversary?
Let him come near Me.
9 Surely the Lord God will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
(P)Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
(Q)The moth will eat them up.
10 “Who among you fears the Lord?
Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
Who (R)walks in darkness
And has no light?
(S)Let him trust in the name of the Lord
And rely upon his God.
11 Look, all you who kindle a fire,
Who encircle yourselves with sparks:
Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled—
(T)This you shall have from My hand:
You shall lie down (U)in torment.
