Isaiah 2
1 This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
Esta es la visión que Isaías, hijo de Amoz, vio sobre Judá y Jerusalén.
2 [I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
En los últimos días, la montaña donde se levanta el Templo del Señor será conocida como la más alta de todas las montañas, elevándose por encima de otras colinas. Muchos vendrán de otras naciones para visitarla.
3 People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
La gente vendrá y dirá: “Subamos al monte del Señor, al Templo del Dios de Jacob. Allí Dios nos enseñará sus caminos y seguiremos sus indicaciones. Las enseñanzas de Dios se extenderán desde Sión, y su palabra desde Jerusalén”.
4 Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
El Señor decidirá los casos de las naciones; resolverá las discusiones entre ellas. Martillarán sus espadas y las convertirán en hojas de arado, y sus lanzas en podaderas. Las naciones ya no lucharán entre sí; ya no aprenderán métodos de guerra.
5 You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
Vengan, israelitas, caminemos a la luz del Señor.
6 [Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
Porque tú, Señor, has renunciado a tu pueblo, los israelitas, porque han adoptado prácticas paganas de Oriente, usan hechizos como los filisteos y se hacen amigos de los extranjeros.
7 Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
Su país está lleno de plata y oro, y de una riqueza infinita. Su tierra está llena de caballos; y tienen una cantidad interminable de carros.
8 [But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
Su país está lleno de ídolos; se inclinan y adoran lo que han hecho ellos mismos, producido por sus propias manos.
9 So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
Este pueblo será abatido y humillado: ¡Señor, no los perdones!
10 All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Huyan a las cuevas de las rocas, escóndanse bajo tierra de la presencia aterradora del Señor, de la gloria de su majestad.
11 Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Los que miran con arrogancia serán abatidos; los soberbios serán humillados. En ese día sólo el Señor será exaltado.
12 The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
El Señor ha reservado un día en el que se ocupará de los orgullosos y arrogantes. Acabará con toda la altivez, y los derribará.
13 [He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
Derribará los cedros del Líbano, altos y elevados, y todos los grandes robles de Basán,
14 He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
Derribará los altos montes y las altas colinas.
15 He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
Derribará toda torre alta y todo muro defensivo.
16 He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
Aniquilará a todos los barcos comerciales de Tarsis, así como las embarcaciones comerciales.
17 He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Los arrogantes serán abatidos, y los orgullosos serán humillados. En ese día sólo el Señor será exaltado.
18 All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
Los ídolos desaparecerán por completo.
19 When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
La gente huirá a las cuevas de las rocas y a los agujeros de la tierra para tratar de esconderse de la presencia aterradora del Señor, de la gloria de su majestad, cuando llegue a sacudir la tierra.
20 On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
Ese día la gente tomará los ídolos de plata y oro que construyeron para adorar y los arrojarán a las ratas y a los murciélagos.
21 Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
Correrán a las grietas de las rocas y a las brechas de los acantilados para tratar de esconderse de la aterradora presencia del Señor, de la gloria de su majestad, cuando llegue a sacudir la tierra.
22 [So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
No se molesten en confiar en los seres humanos que sólo viven por un corto tiempo. ¿Acaso qué valor tienen?
