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 Yavé tendrá compasión de Jacob. Volverá a escoger a Israel y los establecerá en su propia tierra. Los extranjeros se unirán a ellos, y se adherirán 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.
Las naciones los tomarán y los llevarán a su lugar. Y la Casa de Israel los poseerá como esclavos y esclavas en la tierra de Yavé. Cautivarán a los que los cautivaron, y señorearán sobre 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].
Aquel día Yavé te dará descanso de tu labor, de tu tribulación y de la dura esclavitud en la cual los obligaron a servir.
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!
Entonces se mofarán del rey de Babilonia: ¡Cómo terminó el opresor y cesó la furia!
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
Yavé quebró la vara de los perversos, el cetro de los gobernantes,
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.
que sin tregua golpeaba a los pueblos con furor, [que] oprimía a las naciones con incontrolable persecución.
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
Toda la tierra está en reposo y en paz. Prorrumpe en gritos de júbilo.
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 y los cedros del Líbano se alegran por ti [y dicen]: ¡Desde cuando fuiste derribado, ya no sube el talador contra nosotros!
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 Seol abajo se estremeció a causa de ti. Despertó a todos los potentados muertos de la tierra para que en tu llegada salieran a recibirte. Levantó de sus tronos a 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 responderán y dirán: ¡También tú fuiste debilitado como nosotros, y fuiste como nosotros!
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)
Tu soberbia y el sonido de tus arpas descendieron al Seol. Los gusanos hacen cama debajo de ti y te cubrirán. (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.
¡Cómo caíste del cielo, oh Lucero de la mañana! ¡Tú, que debilitabas a las naciones, fuiste derribado a la tierra!
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 decías en tu corazón: Subiré al cielo, en lo alto. Junto a las estrellas de ʼElohim levantaré mi trono, y me sentaré en la Montaña del Testimonio, a los lados del norte.
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
Subiré sobre las alturas de las nubes, y seré semejante a Elyón.
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 fuiste derribado hasta el Seol, a las partes más profundas de la fosa! (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 vean se inclinarán hacia ti. Reflexionarán ante ti y dirán: ¿Es éste aquel varón que hacía temblar la tierra, que sacudía 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, que asoló sus ciudades y nunca les abrió la cárcel a sus presos?
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
Todos los reyes de la tierra están tendidos con honra, cada uno 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 eres echado de tu sepulcro como rama repugnante, como ropa de asesinados a espada, que bajan al fondo de la fosa como uno que fue hallado muerto.
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.
No serás unido a ellos en la sepultura, porque tú destruiste tu tierra y mataste a tu pueblo. Para siempre no será nombrada la descendencia de los malignos.
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]!’”
Preparen la matanza de sus hijos por la perversidad de sus padres, no sea que se levanten, posean la tierra y llenen de ciudades la superficie del mundo.
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.
Porque me levantaré contra ellos, dice Yavé de las huestes, y extirparé de Babilonia el nombre y los sobrevivientes, los descendientes y las futuras generaciones, dice Yavé.
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 posesión de erizos y en pantanos, y la barreré con la escoba del exterminio, dice Yavé de las huestes.
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
Yavé de las huestes juró: Ciertamente lo que pensé sucederá y lo que decidí se realizará.
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.
Quebrantaré al asirio en mi tierra y sobre mis montañas lo pisotearé. Su yugo será quitado de ellos y la carga removida de sus hombros.
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
Éste es el designio acordado para toda la tierra, y ésta 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].”
porque Yavé de las huestes lo determinó. ¿Quién podrá impedirlo? ¿Quién puede volver atrás su mano extendida?
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
El año cuando murió el rey Acaz vino esta profecía:
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 alegres tú, toda Filistea, porque se rompió la vara del que te hería, y saldrá una víbora de la raíz de la serpiente. Su fruto será una feroz serpiente alada.
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 primogénitos de los pobres serán apacentados y los necesitados descansarán confiadamente. Pero hará morir de hambre a tu raíz y matará de hambre a tus sobrevivientes.
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! ¡Desfallece, oh Filistea, toda tú! Porque un humo viene del norte, y no hay rezagado en sus huestes.
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 se responderá a los mensajeros de las naciones? Que Yavé cimentó a Sion, y que en ella se refugian los afligidos de su pueblo.
