Esias 9
1 Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zabulon, land of Nephthalim, and the rest [inhabiting] the sea-coast, and [the land] beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
Aunque no será esta oscuridad semejante a la aflicción que le vino en el tiempo que livianamente tocaron la primera vez a la tierra de Zabulón, y a la tierra de Neftalí: ni después cuando agravaron por la vía de la mar de esa parte del Jordán en Galilea de las naciones.
2 O people walking in darkness, behold a great light: you that dwell in the region [and] shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.
Pueblo que andaba en tinieblas vio gran luz: los que moraban en tierra de sombra de muerte, luz resplandeció sobre ellos.
3 The multitude of the people which you have brought down in your joy, they shall even rejoice before you as they that rejoice in harvest, and as they that divide the spoil.
Aumentando la nación, no aumentaste la alegría. Alegrarse han delante de ti, como se alegran en la segada, como se gozan cuando reparten despojos.
4 Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck: for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Madiam.
Porque tú quebraste el yugo de su carga, y la vara de su hombro, y el cetro de su exactor, como en el día de Madián.
5 For they shall compensate for every garment that has been acquired by deceit, and [all] raiment with restitution; and they shall be willing, [even] if they were burnt with fire.
Porque toda batalla de quien pelea es con estruendo, y con revolcamiento de vestidura en sangre: esta será con quema, y tragamiento de fuego.
6 For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.
Porque niño nos es nacido, hijo nos es dado, y el principado es asentado sobre su hombro; y llamarse ha Admirable, Consejero, Dios, Fuerte, Padre eterno, Príncipe de paz:
7 His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] his kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
La multitud del señorío y la paz no tendrán término, sobre el trono de David, y sobre su reino, disponiéndole, y confirmándole en juicio y en justicia desde ahora para siempre. El zelo de Jehová de los ejércitos hará esto.
8 The Lord has sent death upon Jacob, and it has come upon Israel.
El Señor envió palabra a Jacob, y cayó en Israel.
9 And all the people of Ephraim, and they that lived in Samaria shall know, who say in their pride and lofty heart,
Y sabrá el pueblo, todo él, Efraím y los moradores de Samaria, que con soberbia y con altivez de corazón, dicen:
10 The bricks are fallen down, but come, let us hew stones, and cut down sycamores and cedars, and let us build for ourselves a tower.
Ladrillos cayeron, mas de cantería edificaremos: cortaron cabrahígos, mas cedros pondremos en su lugar.
11 And God shall dash down them that rise up against him on mount Sion, and shall scatter his enemies;
Mas Jehová ensalzará los enemigos de Rezín contra él, y juntará sus enemigos:
12 [even] Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but still [his] hand is exalted.
Por delante a Siria, y por las espaldas a los Filisteos; y con toda la boca se tragarán a Israel. Ni con todo eso cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
13 But the people turned not until they were struck, and they sought not the Lord.
Mas el pueblo no se convirtió al que le hería, ni buscaron a Jehová de los ejércitos.
14 So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day:
Y Jehová cortará de Israel cabeza y cola, ramo y caña en un mismo día.
15 the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.
El viejo y venerable de rostro es la cabeza: el profeta que enseña mentira, este es cola.
16 And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.
Porque los gobernadores de este pueblo son engañadores; y sus gobernados, perdidos.
17 Therefore the Lord shall not take pleasure in their young men, neither shall he have pity on their orphans or on their widows: for they are all transgressors and wicked, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
Por tanto el Señor no tomará contentamiento en sus mancebos, ni de sus huérfanos y viudas tendrá misericordia; porque todos son falsos y malignos; y toda boca habla locura: con todo esto no cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
18 And iniquity shall burn as fire, and shall be devoured by fire as dry grass: and it shall burn in the thickets of the wood, and shall devour all that is round about the hills.
Porque la maldad se encendió como fuego, cardos y espinas tragará; y encendióse en lo espeso de la breña, y fueron alzados como humo.
19 The whole earth is set on fire because of the fierce anger of the Lord, and the people shall be as men burnt by fire: no man shall pity his brother.
Por la ira de Jehová de los ejércitos la tierra se oscureció, y será el pueblo como tragamiento de fuego: hombre no tendrá piedad de su hermano.
20 But [one] shall turn aside to the right hand, for he shall be hungry; and shall eat on the left, and a man shall by no means be satisfied with eating the flesh of his own arm.
Cada uno hurtará a la mano derecha, y tendrá hambre; y comerá a la izquierda, y no se hartará: cada cual comerá la carne de su brazo:
21 For Manasses shall eat [the flesh] of Ephraim, and Ephraim [the flesh] of Manasses; for they shall besiege Juda together. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
Manasés a Efraím, y Efraím a Manasés, y ambos ellos contra Judá. Ni con todo esto cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
