Isaiah 10
1 Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
¡Ay de los que establecen leyes injustas, y determinando prescriben tiranía,
2 in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
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 What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own 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 a dónde dejaréis vuestra gloria?
4 so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
Sino se inclinarán entre los presos, y entre los muertos caerán. Ni con todo esto cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano está extendida.
5 Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
Oh Assur, vara y bastón de mi furor; en su mano he puesto mi ira.
6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.
Le mandaré contra una gente falsa; y sobre el pueblo de mi ira le enviaré, para que quite despojos, y arrebate presa; y que lo ponga para ser hollado como lodo de las calles.
7 But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few 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 pocos.
8 For he will say:
Porque él dirá: Mis príncipes ¿no son todos reyes?
9 “Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
¿No es Calno como Carquemis; Hamat como Arfad; y Samaria como Damasco?
10 In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
Como halló mi mano los reinos de los ídolos, siendo sus imágenes más que Jerusalén y Samaria;
11 Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
Como hice a Samaria y a sus ídolos, ¿no haré también así a Jerusalén y a sus ídolos?
12 And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
Mas acontecerá que después que el Señor hubiere acabado toda su obra en el Monte de Sion, y en Jerusalén, 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: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.
Porque dijo: Con la fortaleza de mi mano lo he hecho, y con mi sabiduría; porque he sido prudente; y quité los términos de los pueblos, y saqueé sus tesoros, y derribé como valientes a los que estaban sentados;
14 And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”
y halló mi mano como nido las riquezas de los pueblos; y como se cogen los huevos dejados, así me apoderé yo de toda la tierra; y no hubo quien moviese ala, o abriese boca y graznase.
15 Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?
¿Se gloriará el hacha contra el que con ella corta? ¿Se ensoberbecerá la sierra contra el que la mueve? Como si el bordón se levantase contra los que lo levantan; como si se levantase la vara, ¿no es leño?
16 Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.
Por tanto el Señor DIOS 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 like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, 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 the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.
La gloria de su bosque y de su campo fértil consumirá, desde el alma hasta la carne; y vendrá a ser como abanderado en derrota.
19 And what remains of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.
Y los árboles que quedaren en su bosque, serán en número que un niño los pueda contar.
20 And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
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; sino que se apoyarán sobre el SEÑOR, el Santo de Israel con verdad.
21 The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.
El remanente se convertirá, el remanente de Jacob, al Dios fuerte.
22 For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.
Porque si tu pueblo, oh Israel, fuere como las arenas del mar, el remanente de él se convertirá; la consumación fenecida inunda justicia.
23 For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.
Por tanto, el Señor DIOS de los ejércitos, hará consumación y fenecimiento en medio de toda la tierra.
24 For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.
Por tanto, el Señor DIOS de los ejércitos, dice así: Pueblo mío, morador de Sion, no temas de Assur. Con vara te herirá, y contra ti alzará su palo, por la vía de Egipto;
25 But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”
mas de aquí a muy poco tiempo, se acabará el furor y mi enojo, para fenecimiento de ellos.
26 And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.
Y levantará el SEÑOR de los ejércitos azote contra él, como la matanza de Madián a la peña de Oreb; y alzará su vara sobre el mar, por la vía de Egipto.
27 And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.
Y acaecerá en aquel tiempo, que su carga será quitada de tu hombro, y su yugo de tu cerviz; y el yugo se pudrirá delante de la unción.
28 He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.
Vino hasta Ajat, pasó hasta Migrón; en Micmas contará su ejército.
29 They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.
Pasaron el vado; se alojaron en Geba; Ramá tembló; Gabaa de Saúl huyó.
30 Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.
Grita en alta voz, hija de Galim; Lais haz que te oiga la pobre Anatot.
31 Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.
Madmena se alborotó; los moradores de Gebim se juntarán.
32 It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Aún vendrá día cuando reposará en Nob; alzará su mano al Monte de la hija de Sion, al collado de Jerusalén.
33 Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
He aquí el Señor DIOS de los ejércitos, desgajará el ramo con fortaleza; y los de grande altura serán cortados, y los altos serán humillados.
34 And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.
Y cortará con hierro la espesura del bosque, y el Líbano caerá con fortaleza.
