Isaiah 10
1 Cursed are those who make evil decisions, and the writers who make the records of their cruel acts:
¡Ay de los que establecen leyes injustas, y determinando determinan tiranía:
2 Who do wrong to the poor in their cause, and take away the right of the crushed among my people, so that they may have the property of widows, and get under their power those who have no father.
Por apartar del juicio a los pobres, y por quitar el derecho a los afligidos de mi pueblo: por despojar las viudas, y robar los huérfanos!
3 And what will you do in the day of punishment, and in the destruction which is coming from far? to whom will you go for help, and what will become of your glory?
¿Y qué haréis en el día de la visitación? ¿y a quién os acogeréis que os ayude, cuando viniere de lejos el asolamiento? ¿y en dónde dejaréis vuestra gloria?
4 ... For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Sin mí se inclinaron entre los presos; y cayeron entre los muertos. Ni con todo eso cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
5 Ho! Assyrian, the rod of my wrath, the instrument of my punishment!
O! Asur, vara de mi furor, y palo él mismo, mi enojo en la mano de ellos.
6 I will send him against a nation of wrongdoers, and against the people of my wrath I will give him orders, to take their wealth in war, crushing them down like the dust in the streets.
Enviarle he contra nación fingida; y sobre pueblo de mi ira le enviaré, para que despoje despojos, y robe presa, y que lo ponga que sea hollado, como lodo de las calles.
7 But this is not what is in his mind, and this is not his design; but his purpose is destruction, and the cutting off of more and more nations.
Aunque él no lo pensará así, ni su corazón lo imaginará de esta manera: mas su pensamiento será de desarraigar, y cortar naciones no pocas.
8 For he says, Are not all my captains kings?
Porque él dirá: ¿Mis príncipes no son todos reyes?
9 Will not the fate of Calno be like that of Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
¿No es Calno como Carcamis; Armad como Arfad; y Samaria como Damasco?
10 As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;
Como halló mi mano los reinos de los ídolos, siendo sus imágenes más que Jerusalem y Samaria:
11 So, as I have done to Samaria and her images, I will do to Jerusalem and her images.
Como hice a Samaria y a sus ídolos, ¿no haré también así a Jerusalem y a sus ídolos?
12 For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.
Mas acontecerá, que después que el Señor hubiere acabado toda su obra en el monte de Sión, y en Jerusalem, visitaré sobre el fruto de la soberbia del corazón del rey de Asiria, y sobre la gloria de la altivez de sus ojos:
13 For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my knowledge, for I am wise: and I have taken away the limits of the peoples' lands, and the stores of their wealth have become mine; and I have made towns low in the dust, sending destruction on those living in them;
Porque dijo: Con fortaleza de mi mano lo he hecho, y con mi sabiduría, porque he sido prudente: que quité los términos de los pueblos, y sus tesoros saqueé; y derribé como valiente los que estaban sentados.
14 And I have put my hands on the wealth of the peoples, as on the place where a bird has put her eggs; and as a man may take the eggs from which a bird has gone, so I have taken all the earth for myself: and not a wing was moved, and not a mouth gave out a sound.
Y halló mi mano las riquezas de los pueblos, como nido; y como se cojen los huevos dejados, así apañé yo toda la tierra; y no hubo quien moviese ala, o abriese boca y graznase.
15 Will the axe say high-sounding words against him who is using it, or the blade be full of pride against him who is cutting with it? As if a rod had the power of shaking him who is using it, or as if a stick might take up him who is not wood.
¿Gloriarse ha la segur contra el que corta con ella? ¿ensoberbecerse ha la sierra contra el que la mueve? como si el bordón se levantase contra los que lo levantan; como si la vara se levantase: ¿no es leño?
16 For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, will make his fat become wasted; and in his inner parts a fire will be lighted like a burning flame.
Por tanto el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos enviará flaqueza sobre sus gordos; y debajo de su gloria encenderá encendimiento, como encendimiento de fuego.
17 And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: wasting and burning up his thorns in one day.
Y la luz de Israel será por fuego, y su Santo por llama que abrase y consuma en un día sus cardos y sus espinas.
18 And he will put an end to the glory of his woods and of his planted fields, soul and body together; and it will be as when a man is wasted by disease.
La gloria de su breña, y de su campo fértil consumirá desde el alma hasta la carne; y será como deshecha de alférez.
19 And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.
Y los árboles que quedaren en su breña, serán por cuenta, que un niño los pueda contar.
20 And it will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
Y acontecerá en aquel tiempo, que los que hubieren quedado de Israel, y los que hubieren quedado de la casa de Jacob, nunca más estriben sobre el que los hirió; porque estribarán sobre Jehová, Santo de Israel, con verdad.
21 The rest, even the rest of Jacob, will come back to the Strong God.
Los restos se convertirán, los restos de Jacob, al Dios fuerte.
22 For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.
Porque si tu pueblo, o! Israel, fuere como las arenas de la mar, los restos se convertirán en él. La consumación fenecida inunda justicia.
23 For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to make destruction complete in all the land.
Por tanto el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos hará consumación, y fenecimiento en medio de toda la tierra.
24 For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, says, O my people living in Zion, have no fear of the Assyrian, even if his rod comes on your back, and his stick is lifted up as in Egypt.
Por tanto el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos dice así: No temas, pueblo mío, morador de Sión, del Asur. Con vara te herirá, y contra ti alzará su palo por la vía de Egipto:
25 For in a very short time my passion will be over, and my wrath will be turned to their destruction.
Mas desde aun poco, un poquito, se acabará el furor, y mi enojo, para fenecimiento de ellos.
26 And the Lord of armies will be shaking a whip against him, as when he overcame Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be lifted up against them as it was against the Egyptians.
Y levantará Jehová de los ejércitos azote contra él, como la matanza de Madián a la peña de Horeb; y alzará su vara sobre la mar, por la vía de Egipto.
27 And in that day the weight which he put on your back will be taken away, and his yoke broken from off your neck.
Y acaecerá en aquel tiempo, que su carga será quitada de tu hombro, y su yugo de tu cerviz; y el yugo se empodrecerá delante de la unción.
28 He has gone up from Pene-Rimmon, he has come to Aiath; he has gone past Migron, at Michmash he puts his forces in order.
Vino hasta Ajad, pasó hasta Migrón: en Micmas contará su ejército.
29 They have gone across the mountain; Geba will be our resting-place tonight, they say: Ramah is shaking with fear; Gibeah of Saul has gone in flight.
Pasaron el vado: alojaron en Geba: Rama tembló: Gabaa de Saul huyó.
30 Give a loud cry, daughter of Gallim; let Laishah give ear; let Anathoth give answer to her.
Grita a alta voz hija de Gallim: Laisa, haz que te oiga la pobrecilla Anatot.
31 Madmenah has gone; the men of Gebim are putting their goods in a safe place.
Madmena se alborotó: los moradores de Gebim se juntarán.
32 This very day he is stopping at Nob; he is shaking his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Aun vendrá día cuando reposará en Nob: alzará su mano al monte de la hija de Sión, al collado de Jerusalem.
33 See, the Lord, the Lord of armies, is cutting off his branches with a great noise, and his strong ones are falling and his high ones are coming down.
He aquí que el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos desgajará el ramo con fortaleza; y los de grande altura serán cortados, y los altos serán humillados.
34 And he is cutting down the thick places of the wood with an axe, and Lebanon with its tall trees is coming down.
Y cortará con hierro la espesura de la breña; y el Líbano caerá con fortaleza.
