Isaiah 33
1 Terrible things will happen to you [people of Assyria]! You have destroyed [others], [but] you have not been destroyed [yet]. You have betrayed/deceived [others], [but] you have not been betrayed/deceived [yet]. When you stop destroying [others], others will destroy you. When you stop betraying/deceiving others, [others] betray you.
¡Ay de ti, el que saquéas, y nunca fuiste saqueado: el que haces deslealtad, y que nadie la hizo contra ti! Cuando acabares de saquear serás tu también saqueado; y cuando acabares de hacer deslealtad, se hará también contra ti.
2 Yahweh, be kind to us, because we have patiently waited for you [to help us]. Enable us to be strong every day, and rescue us when we have troubles.
O! Jehová, ten misericordia de nosotros, a ti esperamos: tú que fuiste brazo de ellos en la mañana, sé también nuestra salud en tiempo de la tribulación.
3 Our enemies run away when they hear your voice. When you stand up and show that you are powerful [IDM], the people of all nations flee.
Pueblos huyeron de la voz del estruendo: naciones fueron esparcidas, cuando tú te levantabas contra ellas.
4 [And after our enemies have been defeated], we, your people, will take away all our enemies’ possessions like [SIM] caterpillars and locusts strip off all the leaves of plants.
Vuestra presa será cogida como cuando cogen pulgón: como cuando van a la langosta que anda en algún lugar.
5 Yahweh is greater than anyone else, and he lives in heaven, and he will rule justly and righteously in Jerusalem.
Jehová será ensalzado, el cual mora en las alturas; porque hinchió a Sión de juicio y de justicia.
6 [When that happens], he will enable you to live securely/safely; he will fully protect your possessions, he will enable you to be wise and to know [all that you need to know]; and revering Yahweh will be [like] [MET] a valuable treasure for you.
Y habrá firmeza de tus tiempos: fortaleza, saludes, sabiduría, y ciencia: el temor de Jehová será su tesoro.
7 [But now], look, our brave men are crying out in the streets; our ambassadors [have gone to other countries to make peace treaties], [but they will] cry bitterly [because they will not succeed].
He aquí que sus embajadores darán voces afuera; los mensajeros de paz llorarán amargamente.
8 No one travels on our roads [DOU]. [The leaders of Assyria] have broken/disregarded their peace treaty [with us]; they despise the people who made those treaties, and they do not respect anyone.
Las calzadas serán deshechas, los caminantes cesarán: anuló la alianza, aborreció las ciudades, tuvo los hombres en nada.
9 The land [of Judah] is dry and barren. The [cedar trees in] Lebanon are drying up and decaying. The Sharon [Plain along the coast] is now a desert. There are no more leaves on the trees in the Bashan and Carmel [areas].
Enlutóse, enfermó la tierra: el Líbano se avergonzó, y fue cortado: Sarón fue tornado como desierto: Basán, y Carmelo fueron sacudidos.
10 Yahweh says, “Now I will begin to show that I am very powerful [DOU].
Ahora me levantaré, dice Jehová: ahora seré ensalzado, ahora seré engrandecido.
11 You [people of Assyria] make plans that are [as useless as] [MET] chaff and straw. Your breath will become a fire that will burn you up.
Concebisteis hojarascas, pariréis aristas: el soplo de vuestro fuego os consumirá.
12 [Your] people will be burned until only ashes remain [MET] like [SIM] thornbushes are cut down and burned up in a fire.
Y los pueblos serán cal quemada: espinas cortadas, serán quemadas con fuego.
13 You people who live far away and you people who live nearby, pay attention to what I have done and realize that I am [very] powerful.”
Oíd los que estáis lejos, lo que he hecho: conocéd los cercanos mi potencia.
14 The sinners in Jerusalem will tremble because of being very afraid; godless people will be terrified. [They say], “None of us can [RHQ] remain alive because this fire is burning everything; it is like the fire on Yahweh’s altar that will burn forever!”
Los pecadores se asombraron en Sión, espanto comprendió a los hipócritas. ¿Quién de nosotros morará con el fuego consumidor? ¿Quién de nosotros habitará con las llamas eternas?
15 Those who act honestly and say what is right, those who do not try to become rich by (extortion/forcing people to give them money), those who do not try to get bribes, those who refuse to listen to people who are planning to murder someone, those who do not join others who urge them to do what is wrong,
El que camina en justicias, el que habla rectitud, el que aborrece la ganancia de violencias, el que sacude sus manos de recibir cohecho, el que tapa su oreja por no oír sangres, el que cierra sus ojos por no ver cosa mala:
16 they are the people who will live safely [MTY]; they will find places to be safe in the caves in the mountains. They will have plenty of food and water.
Este habitará en las alturas: fortalezas de rocas serán su lugar de acogimiento: a este se dará su pan, y sus aguas serán ciertas.
17 You [SYN] [people of Judah] will see the king wearing all his beautiful [robes], and you will see that he rules a land that extends far away.
Tus ojos verán al rey en su hermosura: verán la tierra que está lejos.
18 When you see that, you will think about when you were previously terrified, [and you will say], “[The officers of Assyria] who counted the tax money that we were forced to pay to them [have disappeared] [RHQ]! Those men who counted our towers [are gone] [RHQ]!
Tu corazón imaginará el espanto. ¿Qué es del escribano? ¿Qué es del pesador? ¿Qué es del que pone en lista las casas más insignes?
19 Those arrogant people who spoke a language that we could not understand are no longer here!”
No verás aquel pueblo espantable, pueblo de lengua oscura de entender, de lengua tartamuda que no le comprendas.
20 [At that time], you will see Zion Hill, the place where we celebrate our festivals; you will see that Jerusalem has become a place that is calm and safe. It will be [secure], [like] [SIM] a tent [that cannot be moved because] its ropes are tight and its stakes are firmly in the ground.
Verás a Sión ciudad de nuestras solemnidades: tus ojos verán a Jerusalem morada de quietud, tienda que no será desarmada: ni sus estacas serán arrancadas, ni ninguna de sus cuerdas será rompida.
21 Yahweh will be our mighty God; he will be [like] [SIM] a mighty river that will protect us because [our enemies] will not be able to cross it; no one will be able to row across it and no ships will be able to sail across it.
Porque ciertamente allí será fuerte a nosotros Jehová, lugar de riberas, de arroyos muy anchos: por el cual no andará galera, y por el cual no pasará grande navío.
22 Yahweh is our judge; he is the one who gives us laws, and he is our king. He will rescue us.
Porque Jehová será nuestro juez, Jehová nuestro dador de leyes, Jehová será nuestro rey: el mismo nos salvará.
23 The ropes on our enemies’ boats will hang loose, their masts will not be fastened firmly, and their sails will not be spread out. The treasures that they have seized will be divided [among us, God’s people], and even lame [people among us] will get some.
Tus cuerdas se aflojaron: no afirmaron su mástil, ni entesaron la vela: repartióse presa de muchos despojos: hasta los cojos arrebataron presa.
24 And the people in Jerusalem will no [longer] say, “We are sick,” [because Yahweh] will forgive the sins that have been committed by the people who live there.
No dirá el morador: Estoy enfermo: el pueblo que morare en ella será absuelto de pecado.
