Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city against which David fought: year has been added to year, the solemnities have unfolded.
¡Ay de Ariel, ciudad donde habitó David! Añadíd un año a otro: los corderos cesarán.
2 And I will surround Ariel with siege works, and it will be in sorrow and mourning, and it will be like Ariel to me.
Porque pondré a Ariel en apretura, y será desconsolada y triste; y será a mí como Ariel.
3 And I will surround you like a sphere all around you, and I will raise up a rampart against you, and I will set up fortifications to blockade you.
Porque asentaré campo contra ti en derredor, y combatirte he con ingenios; y levantaré contra ti baluartes.
4 You will be brought low. You will speak from the ground, and your eloquence will be heard from the dirt. And, from the ground, your voice will be like that of the python, and your eloquence will mumble from the dirt.
Entonces serás humillada: hablarás desde la tierra, y tu habla saldrá del polvo; y será tu voz de la tierra, como voz de pitón, y tu habla murmurará del polvo.
5 And the multitude of those who fan you will be like fine dust. And the multitude of those who have prevailed against you will be like embers fading away.
Más el estrépito de tus extranjeros será como polvo menudo, y la multitud de los fuertes como tamo que pasa; y será repentinamente, en un momento.
6 And this will happen suddenly and swiftly. It will be visited from the Lord of hosts with thunder and earthquakes, and with the great noise of a whirlwind and a storm, and with a flame of devouring fire.
De Jehová de los ejércitos serás visitada con truenos, y con terremotos, y con gran ruido, con torbellino, y tempestad, y llama de fuego consumidor.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that have struggled against Ariel will be like the dream of a vision by night, along with all who have battled, and besieged, and prevailed against it.
Y será como sueño de visión de noche la multitud de todas las naciones, que pelearán contra Ariel, y todos los que pelearán contra ella, y sus ingenios, y los que la pondrán en apretura.
8 And it will be like one who is hungry and dreams of eating, but, when he has been awakened, his soul is empty. And it will be like one who is thirsty and dreams of drinking, but, after he has been awakened, he still languishes in thirst, and his soul is empty. So shall the multitude of all the nations be, who have struggled against Mount Zion.
Será pues como el que sueña que tiene hambre, y parece que come: mas cuando se despierta, su alma está vacía; y como el que sueña que tiene sed, y parece que bebe: mas cuando se despierta, hállase cansado, y su alma todavía sedienta: así será la multitud de todas las naciones que pelearán contra el monte de Sión.
9 Be stupefied and in wonder! Shake and quiver! Be inebriated, but not from wine! Stagger, but not from drunkenness!
Entontecéos, y entontecéd: cegáos, y cegád: emborracháos, y no de vino: titubeád, y no de sidra.
10 For the Lord has mixed for you a spirit of deep sleep. He will close your eyes. He will cover your prophets and leaders, who see visions.
Porque Jehová extendió sobre vosotros espíritu de sueño, y cerró vuestros ojos; cubrió de sueño vuestros profetas, y vuestros principales videntes.
11 And the vision of all will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which, when they have given it to someone who knows how to read, they will say, “Read this,” but he will respond, “I cannot; for it has been sealed.”
Y es a vosotros toda visión, como palabras de libro sellado, el cual si dieren al que sabe leer, y le dijeren: Leed ahora esto; dirá: No puedo, porque está sellado.
12 But if the book is given to someone who does not know how to read, and it is said to him, “Read,” then he will respond, “I do not know how to read.”
Y si se diere el libro al que no sabe leer, y se le diga: Leed ahora esto; él dirá: No sé leer.
13 And the Lord said: Since this people have drawn near to me only with their mouth, and their lips glorify me while their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is based on the commandments and doctrines of men,
Dice pues el Señor: Porque este pueblo de su boca se acercó, y de sus labios me honra, mas su corazón alejó de mí, y su temor para conmigo fue enseñado por mandamiento de hombres:
14 for this reason, behold, I will proceed to accomplish a wonder for this people, a great and mystifying miracle. For wisdom will perish from their wise, and the understanding of their prudent will be concealed.
Por tanto he aquí que yo volveré a hacer admirable este pueblo con milagro espantoso; porque la sabiduría de sus sabios se perderá, y la prudencia de sus prudentes se desvanecerá.
15 Woe to you who use the depths of the heart, so that you may hide your intentions from the Lord. Their works are done in darkness, and so they say: “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
¡Ay de los que se esconden de Jehová, encubriendo el consejo! y son sus obras en tinieblas, y dicen: ¿Quién nos ve, o quién nos conoce?
16 This intention of yours is perverse. It is as if the clay were to plan against the potter, or as if the work were to say to its maker: “You did not make me.” Or it is as if what has been formed were to say to the one who formed it, “You do not understand.”
Vuestra subversión ciertamente será como el barro del ollero. ¿La obra dirá de su hacedor: No me hizo; y el vaso dirá del que le obró: No entendió?
17 In not more than a little while and a brief time, Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and a fruitful field will be considered to be a forest.
¿No será tornado de aquí aun poquito, poquito el Líbano en Carmelo, y el Carmelo no será estimado por bosque?
18 And in that day, the deaf will hear the words of a book, and out of darkness and obscurity the eyes of the blind will see.
Y en aquel tiempo los sordos oirán las palabras del libro; y los ojos de los ciegos verán de la oscuridad, y de las tinieblas.
19 And the meek will increase their rejoicing in the Lord, and the poor among men will exult in the Holy One of Israel.
Entonces los humildes crecerán en alegría en Jehová; y los pobres de los hombres se gozarán en el Santo de Israel.
20 For the one who was prevailing has failed, the one who was mocking has been consumed, and all those who were standing guard over iniquity have been cut down.
Porque el violento será acabado, y el escarnecedor será consumido; y serán talados todos los que madrugaban a la iniquidad;
21 For they caused men to sin by a word, and they supplanted him who argued against them at the gates, and they turned away from justice in vain.
Los que hacían pecar al hombre en palabra; los que armaban lazo al que reprendía en la puerta, y torcieron lo justo en vanidad.
22 Because of this, thus says the Lord, he who has redeemed Abraham, to the house of Jacob: From now on, Jacob will not be confounded; from now on his countenance will not blush with shame.
Por tanto así dice Jehová a la casa de Jacob, el que redimió a Abraham: No será por ahora confuso Jacob ni sus faces se pararán amarillas:
23 Instead, when he sees his children, they will be the work of my hands in his midst, sanctifying my name, and they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will preach the God of Israel.
Porque verá sus hijos, obra de mis manos en medio de sí, que santificarán mi nombre; y santificarán al Santo de Jacob, y temerán al Dios de Israel:
24 And those who had gone astray in spirit will know understanding, and those who had murmured will learn the law.
Y los errados de espíritu aprenderán inteligencia, y los murmuradores aprenderán doctrina.
