Isaías 31
1 ¡Ay de los que descienden a Egipto por ayuda; y confían en caballos, y en carros ponen su esperanza, porque son muchos, y en caballeros, porque son valientes; y no miraron al Santo de Israel, ni buscaron a Jehová!
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and rely on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
2 Mas él también es sabio para guiar el mal, ni hará mentirosas sus palabras. Levantarse ha pues contra la casa de los malignos, y contra el auxilio de los obradores de iniquidad.
Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
3 Y los Egipcios hombres son, no Dios; y sus caballos, carne, y no espíritu: de manera que en extendiendo Jehová su mano, caerá el ayudador, y caerá el ayudado, y todos ellos desfallecerán a una.
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
4 Porque Jehová me dijo a mí de esta manera: Como el león, y el cachorro del león, brama sobre su presa, contra el cual si es allegada cuadrilla de pastores, por las voces de ellos no temerá, ni se acobardará por su tropel: así Jehová de los ejércitos descenderá a pelear por el monte de Sión, y por su collado.
For thus hath the LORD spoken to me, As the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for its hill.
5 Como las aves que vuelan, así amparará Jehová de los ejércitos a Jerusalem, amparando, librando, pasando, y salvando.
As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
6 Convertíos al que habéis profundamente rebelado, o! hijos de Israel.
Turn ye to him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
7 Porque en aquel día arrojará el hombre los ídolos de su plata, y los ídolos de su oro, que os hicieron vuestras manos pecadoras.
For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made to you for a sin.
8 Entonces caerá el Asur por espada, no de varón; y espada, no de hombre, le consumirá; y huirá de la presencia de la espada, y sus mancebos serán tributarios.
Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become forced labourers.
9 Y de miedo se pasará a su fortaleza; y sus príncipes tendrán pavor de la bandera, dice Jehová, cuyo fuego está en Sión, y su horno en Jerusalem.
And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
