Isaiah 2
1 This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
Visión que tuvo Isaías, hijo de Amoz, con respecto a Judá y a 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.
Acontecerá en los últimos días que la Montaña de la Casa de Yavé será establecida como cima de las montañas y se alzará sobre las colinas. Acudirán a ella todas las naciones.
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].
Muchos pueblos llegarán y dirán: ¡Vengan, subamos a la Montaña de Yavé, a la Casa del ʼElohim de Jacob! Para que nos enseñe con respecto a sus caminos, y nosotros caminemos en sus sendas. Porque de Sion saldrá la Ley y de Jerusalén la Palabra de Yavé.
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.”
Él juzgará entre las naciones, y reprenderá a muchos pueblos. De sus espadas forjarán rejas de arado y de sus lanzas, hoces. No alzará espada nación contra nación, ni se adiestrarán más para la guerra.
5 You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
¡Oh casa de Jacob, vengan y caminemos a la luz de Yavé!
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 abandonaste a tu pueblo, la casa de Jacob, porque ellos están llenos de prácticas orientales. Son agoreros como los filisteos, y pactan con los hijos de 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 tierra está llena de plata y oro, y sus tesoros no tienen fin. También su tierra está llena de caballos, y sus carruajes son incontables.
8 [But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
Su tierra también está llena de ídolos. Se postran ante la obra de sus manos, ante lo que hicieron sus dedos.
9 So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
Así el hombre se postró y el humano se rebajó. Pero 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.
¡Métete en la peña! ¡Escóndete en el polvo de la terrible Presencia de Yavé y del resplandor 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 ojos altivos del hombre serán abatidos y la soberbia de los hombres será humillada. Y solo Yavé será exaltado en aquel día.
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.
Porque el día de Yavé de las huestes vendrá contra todo arrogante y altivo y todo el que se enalteció para que sea abatido,
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].
contra todos los cedros altos y erguidos del Líbano y todos los 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.
contra todas las altas montañas y todas las colinas elevadas,
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].
contra toda torre alta y todo muro fortificado,
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.
contra todas las naves de Tarsis y toda obra preciada de arte.
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.
La altivez del hombre será abatida. La soberbia de los hombres será humillada. Solo Yavé será exaltado en aquel día,
18 All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
y 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.
Se meterán en las cuevas de las peñas y en las aberturas de la tierra a causa de la temible Presencia de Yavé y del resplandor de su majestad cuando Él se levante para sacudir terriblemente 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.
Aquel día el hombre echará a los topos y a los murciélagos, sus ídolos de plata y sus ídolos de oro que se hicieron para adorar.
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.
Se meterá en las hendiduras de las rocas y en las cavernas de las peñas a causa del Terror de Yavé y del resplandor de su majestad, cuando Él se levante para sacudir poderosamente 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]!
Dejen de confiar en el hombre. Su aliento está en su nariz. Así que ¿de qué estima es digno?
