Isaiah 14
1 [But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
Porque Yahvé tendrá compasión de Jacob, y escogerá otra vez a Israel; y les dará descanso en su propia tierra. Se juntarán con ellos los extranjeros, y se incorporarán a la casa de Jacob.
2 People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
Los pueblos los tomarán y los llevarán a su propio lugar; y la casa de Jacob los poseerá por siervos y siervas en la tierra de Yahvé. Así tomarán cautivos a aquellos que los habían cautivado, y dominarán a sus opresores.
3 Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
El día que Yahvé te dé descanso de tus penas y de tu angustia y de la dura servidumbre a la cual estuviste sujeto,
4 When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
cantarás este canto sobre el rey de Babilonia, y dirás: “¡Cómo se acabó el opresor! ¡Cómo terminó la opresión!
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
Yahvé ha hecho pedazos la vara de los impíos, el cetro del dominador,
6 You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
el cual azotaba a los pueblos con furor, hiriéndolos sin cesar, y en su saña tiranizaba a las naciones persiguiéndolas sin piedad.
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
Ahora descansa y está en paz toda la tierra y prorrumpe en cantos de alegría.
8 [It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
Aun los cipreses se regocijan a causa de ti, y los cedros del Líbano (dicen): «Desde que tú dormiste, nadie sube ya a cortarnos».
9 The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
El scheol se conmueve en sus profundidades, a causa de ti, para salir a tu encuentro, y por ti despierta él a las sombras de los gigantes, a todos los poderosos de la tierra; hace que se levanten de sus tronos todos los reyes de las naciones. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
Todos ellos te dirigirán la palabra y te dirán: «¿También tú te debilitaste como nosotros? ¿A nosotros te has asemejado?»
11 You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
Ha bajado al scheol tu gloria al son de tus arpas, tendrás por cama la podredumbre, y los gusanos por cubierta. (Sheol h7585)
12 You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
¡Como caíste del cielo, astro brillante, hijo de la aurora! ¡Cómo fuiste echado por tierra, tú, el destructor de las naciones!
13 You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
Tú que dijiste en tu corazón: «Al cielo subiré; sobre las estrellas de Dios levantaré mi trono; me sentaré en el Monte de la Asamblea, en lo más recóndito del Septentrión;
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
subiré a las alturas de las nubes; seré como el Altísimo».
15 [But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Pero ahora has sido precipitado al scheol, a lo más profundo del pozo. (Sheol h7585)
16 The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
Los que te ven fijan en ti la mirada y contemplándote con atención (dicen): «¿Es este el varón que sacudió la tierra e hizo temblar los reinos,
17 Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
que convirtió el mundo en un desierto y devastó sus ciudades; que no abrió (la cárcel) a sus prisioneros?
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
Todos los reyes de las naciones, todos descansan con honor, cada cual en su propia morada,
19 but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
pero tú has sido arrojado lejos de tu sepulcro, como un retoño inútil, cual cadáver pisoteado y cubierto de muertos. Hasta los traspasados a espada bajan a sepulcros de piedra.
20 Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
Pero tú no tendrás con ellos sepultura; porque has arruinado tu tierra, has destruido a tu pueblo. No se hablará ya jamás de la raza de los malhechores.
21 [People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
Preparaos a dar muerte a sus hijos, por la culpa de sus padres; no se levanten para heredar la tierra, ni llenen con ciudades la superficie del orbe».”
22 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
“Yo me alzaré contra ellos —oráculo de Yahvé de los ejércitos— y cortaré de Babilonia nombre y resto, germen y retoño —oráculo de Yahvé—.
23 I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
La convertiré en morada de erizos, en aguas fangosas, y la barreré con la escoba de la destrucción —oráculo de Yahvé de los ejércitos.
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
Yahvé de los ejércitos ha jurado diciendo: “Como lo he pensado, así será; como lo tengo proyectado, así sucederá:
25 [When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
destruiré al asirio en mi tierra, y sobre mis montes le hollaré; será quitado su yugo de encima de (Israel), y su carga de sobre sus hombros.
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
Este es el designio que he resuelto ejecutar en toda la tierra, y esta la mano extendida sobre todas las naciones.
27 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
Si Yahvé de los ejércitos lo ha resuelto, ¿quién podrá frustrarlo? si su mano está extendida, ¿quién osará retirarla?”
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
El año en que murió el rey Acaz, se dio este oráculo:
29 You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
“No te regocijes, oh Filistea entera, porque ha sido quebrada la vara que te hirió; pues de la raíz de la serpiente, saldrá un basilisco, y su fruto será una serpiente voladora.
30 Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
Entonces los más pobres encontrarán su pasto, y los necesitados reposarán con seguridad; pues haré perecer de hambre tu raíz, y acabaré con lo que de ti quedare.
31 [So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
¡Aúlla, puerta!, ¡grita, ciudad! trastornada esta la Filistea toda, porque del norte viene una humareda, y nadie se pierde de sus escuadrones.”
32 If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
¿Qué respuesta se da, pues, a los embajadores de las naciones? “Que Yahvé ha fundado a Sión, y que en ella se refugiarán los pobres de su pueblo.”
