Isaiah 7
1 Ahaz was the son of Jotham and grandson of Uzziah. During the time that Ahaz was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel marched [with their armies] to attack Jerusalem. But they could not conquer it.
Aconteció en los días de Acaz, hijo de Joatam, hijo de Ozías, rey de Judá, que Rezín rey de Siria, y Face, hijo de Romelías, rey de Israel, subieron a Jerusalem para combatirla, mas no la pudieron tomar.
2 [But before they attacked], everyone in the palace heard a report that the armies of Syria and Israel were [now] (allies/joined [to attack Jerusalem)]. So Ahaz and the people over whom he ruled were extremely afraid; they were shaking from fear like trees shake in a windstorm.
Y vino la nueva a la casa de David, diciendo, como Siria se había confederado con Efraím; y estremeciósele el corazón, y el corazón de su pueblo, como se estremecen los árboles del monte a causa del viento.
3 Then Yahweh said to me, “Take your son Shear-Jashub, and go to talk with [King] Ahaz. He is at the end of the (aqueduct/water channel) that brings water into the upper reservoir, near the road to the place where women wash clothes.
Entonces Jehová dijo a Isaías: Sal ahora al encuentro a Acaz, tú, y Searjasub tu hijo, al cabo del conducto de la pesquera de arriba, en el camino de la heredad del batanero.
4 Tell Ahaz to stop worrying [DOU]. Tell him that he does not need to be afraid of those two kings, Rezin and Pekah. They are very angry [with Judah], but they are [unable to harm his country any more than] completely burned-out coals [can harm him].
Y díle: Guarda, y repósate: no temas, ni se enternezca tu corazón a causa de estos dos cabos de tizones que humean, es a saber, por el furor de la ira de Rezín y del Siro, y del hijo de Romelías:
5 Yes, they are planning to attack this land and saying,
Por haber acordado maligno consejo contra ti el Siro, con Efraím, y con el hijo de Romelías, diciendo:
6 ‘We will attack Judah and conquer it. Then we will appoint Tabeel’s son to be the king of Judah.’
Vamos contra Judá, y despertarla hemos, y partirla hemos entre nosotros, y pondremos en medio de ella por rey al hijo de Tabeal.
7 But this is what Yahweh, the Lord, says: ‘It will not happen; they will not [conquer Jerusalem]!
El Señor Jehová dice así: No permanecerá, y no será.
8 The capital of Syria is Damascus, but Damascus is ruled [only] by its [unimportant/insignificant] king king Rezin. And as for Israel, within 65 years it will be conquered and completely destroyed.
Porque la cabeza de Siria será Damasco, y la cabeza de Damasco Rezín. Y dentro de sesenta y cinco años Efraím será quebrantado, y nunca más será pueblo:
9 Israel’s capital is Samaria, and Samaria is ruled only by its [insignificant/unimportant] king king Pekah. [So you do not need to be afraid of those two countries]! [But you must trust me, because] if you do not trust me fully, you will be defeated.’”
Entre tanto la cabeza de Efraím será Samaria, y la cabeza de Samaria el hijo de Romelías. Si no creyereis, cierto no permaneceréis.
10 [Later], Yahweh gave [me another message to tell to] King Ahaz.
Y habló más Jehová a Acaz, diciendo:
11 [He said to tell him], “Request me, Yahweh your God, to do something that will enable you to be sure [that I will help/protect you]. What you request can be [from a place that is] as high as the sky or as low as the place where the dead people are.” (Sheol h7585)
Pide para ti señal de Jehová tu Dios, demandando en el profundo, o arriba en lo alto. (Sheol h7585)
12 But [when I told that to the king, he refused]. He said, “[No], I will not request Yahweh to do something to prove [that he will help/protect us]!”
Y respondió Acaz: No pediré, y no tentaré a Jehová.
13 Then I said [to him], “You people who are descendants of King David, listen! You are causing me to be tired of being patient. Are you also going to cause my God to stop being patient with you [RHQ]?
Y dijo: Ahora oíd, casa de David: ¿No os basta ser molestos a los hombres, si no que también lo seáis a mi Dios?
14 Yahweh himself will do something for you [to prove that he will help/protect you]. Listen to this: A young woman will become pregnant and give birth to a son. She will name him Immanuel, [which means ‘God is with us’].
Por tanto el mismo Señor os dará señal. He aquí que la virgen concebirá, y parirá hijo, y llamará su nombre Emmanuel.
15 And by the time that child is old enough to eat curds/yogurt and honey, he will be able to reject what is evil and choose what is good.
Comerá manteca y miel, hasta que sepa desechar lo malo, y escoger lo bueno.
16 And before that child is old enough to do that, the lands of the two kings that you(sg) are very (afraid of/worried about) will be deserted.
Porque antes que el niño sepa desechar lo malo, y escoger lo bueno, la tierra que tu aborreces será dejada de sus dos reyes.
17 [But then] Yahweh will cause you and your family and your entire nation to experience [terrible disasters]. Those disasters will be worse than any disasters that have occurred since the country of Israel separated from Judah. Yahweh will cause [the army of] the king of Assyria to attack you!”
Jehová hará venir sobre ti, y sobre tu pueblo, y sobre la casa de tu padre días, cuales nunca vinieron desde el día que Efraím se apartó de Judá, es a saber, al rey de Asiria.
18 At that time, [it will be as though] Yahweh will whistle to summon the army from the south of Egypt as well as the army of Assyria. They will [come and surround your country like] [MET] flies and bees.
Y acontecerá que aquel día silbará Jehová a la mosca que está en el fin de los ríos de Egipto, y a la abeja que está en la tierra de Asiria;
19 They will all come and settle/live [everywhere]—in the narrow valleys and caves in the rock cliffs, on land where there are thornbushes as well as on the fertile land.
Y vendrán, y asentarse han todos en los valles desiertos, y en las cavernas de las piedras, y en todos los zarzales, y en todas las matas.
20 At that time Yahweh will hire the king of Assyria to come [with his army] from east of the [Euphrates] River. [They will get rid of everything in your land—the crops and the people. They will destroy everything thoroughly]; it will be like [MET] a barber shaving not only a man’s hair but his beard and the hair on his legs.
En aquel día raerá el Señor con navaja alquilada, con los que habitan de la otra parte del río, es a saber, con el rey de Asiria, cabeza y pelos de los pies; y aun la barba también quitará.
21 When that happens, a farmer will be able to have only one cow and two goats/sheep.
Y acontecerá en aquel tiempo, que crie un hombre una res vacuna, y dos ovejas:
22 [However], those animals will give plenty of milk, with the result that the farmer will have curds/yogurt to eat. And [because there will not be many people left] in the land, all the people who remain there will have plenty of milk and honey.
Y acontecerá, que a causa de la multitud de la leche que le darán, comerá manteca: cierto manteca y miel comerá el que quedare en medio de la tierra.
23 Now there are many areas where there are vineyards that are worth 1,000 pieces of silver, but at that time there will be only briers and thorns [DOU] in those fields.
Acontecerá también en aquel tiempo, acontecerá, que el lugar donde había mil vides que valían mil siclos de plata, será para los espinos y para los cardos.
24 There will be only briers and thorns in the entire land, [and wild animals], with the result that men will take their bows and arrows and go there [to hunt and kill animals].
Con saetas y arco irán allá; porque toda la tierra será espinos, y cardos.
25 No one will go to where there previously were gardens on fertile hillsides, because briers and thorns will cover those hillsides. They will be areas where [only a few] cattle and sheep and goats wander around [searching for something to eat].
Mas a todos los montes que se cavan con azada, no llegará allá el temor de los espinos y de los cardos: mas serán para pasto de vacas, y para ser hollados de ovejas.
