Isaiah 9
1 But there shall be no gloom to her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
Aunque no será esta oscuridad semejante a la aflicción que le vino en el tiempo que livianamente tocaron la primera vez a la tierra de Zabulón, y a la tierra de Neftalí: ni después cuando agravaron por la vía de la mar de esa parte del Jordán en Galilea de las naciones.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them the light has shone.
Pueblo que andaba en tinieblas vio gran luz: los que moraban en tierra de sombra de muerte, luz resplandeció sobre ellos.
3 Thou have multiplied the nation. Thou have increased their joy. They joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Aumentando la nación, no aumentaste la alegría. Alegrarse han delante de ti, como se alegran en la segada, como se gozan cuando reparten despojos.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou have broken as in the day of Midian.
Porque tú quebraste el yugo de su carga, y la vara de su hombro, y el cetro de su exactor, como en el día de Madián.
5 For all the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for fuel of fire.
Porque toda batalla de quien pelea es con estruendo, y con revolcamiento de vestidura en sangre: esta será con quema, y tragamiento de fuego.
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
Porque niño nos es nacido, hijo nos es dado, y el principado es asentado sobre su hombro; y llamarse ha Admirable, Consejero, Dios, Fuerte, Padre eterno, Príncipe de paz:
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
La multitud del señorío y la paz no tendrán término, sobre el trono de David, y sobre su reino, disponiéndole, y confirmándole en juicio y en justicia desde ahora para siempre. El zelo de Jehová de los ejércitos hará esto.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it has lighted upon Israel.
El Señor envió palabra a Jacob, y cayó en Israel.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
Y sabrá el pueblo, todo él, Efraím y los moradores de Samaria, que con soberbia y con altivez de corazón, dicen:
10 The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone, the sycamores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.
Ladrillos cayeron, mas de cantería edificaremos: cortaron cabrahígos, mas cedros pondremos en su lugar.
11 Therefore Jehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
Mas Jehová ensalzará los enemigos de Rezín contra él, y juntará sus enemigos:
12 the Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind, and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Por delante a Siria, y por las espaldas a los Filisteos; y con toda la boca se tragarán a Israel. Ni con todo eso cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
13 Yet the people have not turned to him who smote them, nor have they sought Jehovah of hosts.
Mas el pueblo no se convirtió al que le hería, ni buscaron a Jehová de los ejércitos.
14 Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
Y Jehová cortará de Israel cabeza y cola, ramo y caña en un mismo día.
15 The elder and the honorable man, he is the head. And the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
El viejo y venerable de rostro es la cabeza: el profeta que enseña mentira, este es cola.
16 For those who lead this people cause them to err, and those who are led by them are destroyed.
Porque los gobernadores de este pueblo son engañadores; y sus gobernados, perdidos.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows. For everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Por tanto el Señor no tomará contentamiento en sus mancebos, ni de sus huérfanos y viudas tendrá misericordia; porque todos son falsos y malignos; y toda boca habla locura: con todo esto no cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
18 For wickedness burns as the fire. It devours the briers and thorns. Yea, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
Porque la maldad se encendió como fuego, cardos y espinas tragará; y encendióse en lo espeso de la breña, y fueron alzados como humo.
19 Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burnt up, and the people are as the fuel of fire; no man spares his brother.
Por la ira de Jehová de los ejércitos la tierra se oscureció, y será el pueblo como tragamiento de fuego: hombre no tendrá piedad de su hermano.
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry. And he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied. They shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm-
Cada uno hurtará a la mano derecha, y tendrá hambre; y comerá a la izquierda, y no se hartará: cada cual comerá la carne de su brazo:
21 Manasseh, Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh, and together they shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Manasés a Efraím, y Efraím a Manasés, y ambos ellos contra Judá. Ni con todo esto cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
