Isaiah 31
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek Yahweh!
¡Ay de los que descienden a Egipto por ayuda; y confían en caballos, y en carros ponen su esperanza, porque son muchos, y en caballeros, porque son valientes; y no miraron al Santo de Israel, ni buscaron a Jehová!
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
Mas él también es sabio para guiar el mal, ni hará mentirosas sus palabras. Levantarse ha pues contra la casa de los malignos, y contra el auxilio de los obradores de iniquidad.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
Y los Egipcios hombres son, no Dios; y sus caballos, carne, y no espíritu: de manera que en extendiendo Jehová su mano, caerá el ayudador, y caerá el ayudado, y todos ellos desfallecerán a una.
4 For Yahweh says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Porque Jehová me dijo a mí de esta manera: Como el león, y el cachorro del león, brama sobre su presa, contra el cual si es allegada cuadrilla de pastores, por las voces de ellos no temerá, ni se acobardará por su tropel: así Jehová de los ejércitos descenderá a pelear por el monte de Sión, y por su collado.
5 As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
Como las aves que vuelan, así amparará Jehová de los ejércitos a Jerusalem, amparando, librando, pasando, y salvando.
6 Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
Convertíos al que habéis profundamente rebelado, o! hijos de Israel.
7 For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
Porque en aquel día arrojará el hombre los ídolos de su plata, y los ídolos de su oro, que os hicieron vuestras manos pecadoras.
8 “The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
Entonces caerá el Asur por espada, no de varón; y espada, no de hombre, le consumirá; y huirá de la presencia de la espada, y sus mancebos serán tributarios.
9 His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Y de miedo se pasará a su fortaleza; y sus príncipes tendrán pavor de la bandera, dice Jehová, cuyo fuego está en Sión, y su horno en Jerusalem.
