Isaiah 10
1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness:
¡Ay de los que dictan leyes injustas y los que registran decisiones inicuas,
2 to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right of the poor of my people, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
privan de justicia al débil y niegan el derecho a los pobres de mi pueblo, y tienen a las viudas como presas y despojan a los huérfanos!
3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
¿Qué harán el día del castigo? ¿A quién huirán en busca de auxilio en la devastación que vendrá de lejos? ¿Dónde dejarán su riqueza?
4 They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Nada, sino agacharse entre los cautivos, o caer entre los asesinados. A pesar de todo esto, no se aplaca su furor. Su mano sigue extendida.
5 Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation!
¡Ay de Asiria, vara de mi furor, en cuyas manos puse el cetro de mi ira!
6 I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
La enviaré contra una nación profana. La comisionaré contra el pueblo de mi furor, para que capture el botín, tome el despojo, y lo pisotee como barro de las calles.
7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
Pero no lo entenderá así, ni serán esos sus designios. Su propósito será destruir y exterminar muchas naciones.
8 For he saith, Are not my princes all of them kings?
Porque dijo: ¿No son reyes todos mis ministros?
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
¿No es Calno como Carquemis? ¿No es Hamat como Arfad? ¿No es Samaria como Damasco?
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
Así como mi mano alcanzó los reinos de los ʼelohim, aunque sus imágenes eran más que las de Jerusalén y de Samaria,
11 shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
¿no haré así a Jerusalén y a sus ʼelohim, como hice a Samaria y a sus ʼelohim?
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
Por tanto, acontecerá que cuando ʼAdonay acabe toda su obra en la Montaña Sion y en Jerusalén, castigará el fruto del corazón arrogante del rey de Asiria, y la arrogancia altiva de sus ojos.
13 For he hath said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and I have brought down as a valiant man them that sit [on thrones]:
Porque dijo: Con la fuerza de mi mano hice esto, con mi talento, porque soy entendido. Así quité los territorios de los pueblos. Me apoderé de sus tesoros, y como valiente derribé a los que estaban entronizados.
14 and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped.
Como se recogen de un nido los huevos abandonados, mi mano tomó la riqueza de los pueblos. Así me apoderé yo de toda la tierra, y no hubo quien abriera su pico o gorjeara.
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if a rod should shake them that lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up [him that is] not wood.
¿Se enaltecerá el hacha contra el que la empuña? ¿Se engrandecerá la sierra sobre el que la maneja? ¡Como si el cetro levantara al que lo levanta, o la vara levantara al que no es madera!
16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.
Por eso ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes enviará una enfermedad exterminante entre sus robustos guerreros, y debajo de su gloria encenderá una hoguera de fuego ardiente.
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
La luz de Israel se convertirá en fuego, su Santo en llama de fuego que arderá y consumirá sus zarzas y sus espinos en un solo día.
18 And he shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
Él consumirá totalmente alma y cuerpo, la gloria de su bosque y de su campo fértil. Será como cuando un enfermo languidece.
19 And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
Los árboles que queden en el bosque serán tan pocos que hasta un niño los podrá contar.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Acontecerá en aquel día que el remanente de Israel y los de la casa de Jacob ya no se apoyarán en su agresor, sino verdaderamente se apoyarán en Yavé, el Santo de Israel.
21 A remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
Un remanente volverá, el remanente de Jacob, al ʼEL poderoso.
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: a consumption [is] determined, overflowing with righteousness.
Pues aunque tu pueblo, oh Israel, sea como la arena del mar, solo un remanente de ellos volverá. ¡La destrucción decretada rebosará de justicia!
23 For a consummation, and that determined, shall the Lord, the LORD of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.
ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes ejecutará la completa destrucción decretada en medio de toda la tierra.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
Por tanto, ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes dice: Pueblo mío que vive en Sion, no temas a Asiria. Te herirá con vara y alzará su cetro contra ti a la manera de Egipto.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction.
Porque dentro de muy poco tiempo mi furor y mi enojo se aplicarán a la destrucción de ellos.
26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod shall be over the sea, and he shall lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
Yavé de las huestes levantará látigo contra ellos, como en la matanza de Madián junto a la peña de Horeb. Alzará su vara sobre el mar, como hizo en Egipto.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Acontecerá en aquel tiempo que su carga será quitada de tu hombro y su yugo de tu nuca. El yugo se pudrirá a causa de tu unción.
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage:
Viene contra Ajat, pasa por Migrón, y en Micmas pasará revista a sus armas.
29 they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
Pasan el vado y dicen: Geba será nuestro alojamiento. Ramá está aterrada, Gabaa de Saúl huyó.
30 Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth!
¡Clama a gran voz, hija de Galim! ¡Escucha, Lais! ¡Pobrecita Anatot!
31 Madmenah is a fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
Madmena huyó, y los habitantes de Gebim buscan refugio.
32 This very day shall he halt at Nob: he shaketh his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Hoy mismo hace alto en Nob. Ya agita la mano contra la Montaña de la hija de Sion, la Montaña de Jerusalén.
33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the boughs with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low.
¡Miren! El ʼAdón Yavé de las huestes desgaja el ramaje con violencia. Los de gran altura son talados. Los más altos serán abatidos.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
Cortará con hierro la espesura del bosque. El Líbano caerá por causa del Poderoso.
