Isaiah 10
1 “Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
¡Ay de los que dictan leyes injustas y los que registran decisiones inicuas,
2 Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil the fatherless.
privan de justicia al débil y niegan el derecho a los pobres de mi pueblo, y tienen a las viudas como presas y despojan a los huérfanos!
3 And what do you do at a day of inspection? And at desolation that comes from afar? Near whom do you flee for help? And where do you leave your glory?
¿Qué harán el día del castigo? ¿A quién huirán en busca de auxilio en la devastación que vendrá de lejos? ¿Dónde dejarán su riqueza?
4 It has bowed down without Me In the place of a bound one, And they fall in the place of the slain.” With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Nada, sino agacharse entre los cautivos, o caer entre los asesinados. A pesar de todo esto, no se aplaca su furor. Su mano sigue extendida.
5 “Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
¡Ay de Asiria, vara de mi furor, en cuyas manos puse el cetro de mi ira!
6 I send him against a profane nation, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
La enviaré contra una nación profana. La comisionaré contra el pueblo de mi furor, para que capture el botín, tome el despojo, y lo pisotee como barro de las calles.
7 And he does not think [it] so, And his heart does not reckon [it] so, For—to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations—not a few.
Pero no lo entenderá así, ni serán esos sus designios. Su propósito será destruir y exterminar muchas naciones.
8 For he says, Are my princes not altogether kings?
Porque dijo: ¿No son reyes todos mis ministros?
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
¿No es Calno como Carquemis? ¿No es Hamat como Arfad? ¿No es Samaria como Damasco?
10 As my hand has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
Así como mi mano alcanzó los reinos de los ʼelohim, aunque sus imágenes eran más que las de Jerusalén y de Samaria,
11 Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”
¿no haré así a Jerusalén y a sus ʼelohim, como hice a Samaria y a sus ʼelohim?
12 And it has come to pass, When the Lord fulfills all His work In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur, And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.
Por tanto, acontecerá que cuando ʼAdonay acabe toda su obra en la Montaña Sion y en Jerusalén, castigará el fruto del corazón arrogante del rey de Asiria, y la arrogancia altiva de sus ojos.
13 For he has said, “I have worked by the power of my hand, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And I have spoiled their chief ones, And I put down the inhabitants as a mighty one,
Porque dijo: Con la fuerza de mi mano hice esto, con mi talento, porque soy entendido. Así quité los territorios de los pueblos. Me apoderé de sus tesoros, y como valiente derribé a los que estaban entronizados.
14 And my hand gets to the wealth of the peoples as to a nest, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth, And there has not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.”
Como se recogen de un nido los huevos abandonados, mi mano tomó la riqueza de los pueblos. Así me apoderé yo de toda la tierra, y no hubo quien abriera su pico o gorjeara.
15 Does the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Does the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
¿Se enaltecerá el hacha contra el que la empuña? ¿Se engrandecerá la sierra sobre el que la maneja? ¡Como si el cetro levantara al que lo levanta, o la vara levantara al que no es madera!
16 Therefore the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Sends leanness among his fat ones, And under his glory He kindles a burning As the burning of a fire.
Por eso ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes enviará una enfermedad exterminante entre sus robustos guerreros, y debajo de su gloria encenderá una hoguera de fuego ardiente.
17 And the light of Israel has been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it has burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.
La luz de Israel se convertirá en fuego, su Santo en llama de fuego que arderá y consumirá sus zarzas y sus espinos en un solo día.
18 And the glory of his forest, and his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
Él consumirá totalmente alma y cuerpo, la gloria de su bosque y de su campo fértil. Será como cuando un enfermo languidece.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth writes them.
Los árboles que queden en el bosque serán tan pocos que hasta un niño los podrá contar.
20 And it has come to pass in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add anymore to lean on its striker, And have leaned on YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Acontecerá en aquel día que el remanente de Israel y los de la casa de Jacob ya no se apoyarán en su agresor, sino verdaderamente se apoyarán en Yavé, el Santo de Israel.
21 A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.
Un remanente volverá, el remanente de Jacob, al ʼEL poderoso.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
Pues aunque tu pueblo, oh Israel, sea como la arena del mar, solo un remanente de ellos volverá. ¡La destrucción decretada rebosará de justicia!
23 For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes ejecutará la completa destrucción decretada en medio de toda la tierra.
24 Therefore, thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, He strikes you with a rod, And his staff lifts up against you, in the way of Egypt.
Por tanto, ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes dice: Pueblo mío que vive en Sion, no temas a Asiria. Te herirá con vara y alzará su cetro contra ti a la manera de Egipto.
25 For yet a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
Porque dentro de muy poco tiempo mi furor y mi enojo se aplicarán a la destrucción de ellos.
26 And YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he has lifted it in the way of Egypt.
Yavé de las huestes levantará látigo contra ellos, como en la matanza de Madián junto a la peña de Horeb. Alzará su vara sobre el mar, como hizo en Egipto.
27 And it has come to pass in that day, His burden is turned from off your shoulder, And his yoke from off your neck, And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.
Acontecerá en aquel tiempo que su carga será quitada de tu hombro y su yugo de tu nuca. El yugo se pudrirá a causa de tu unción.
28 He has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
Viene contra Ajat, pasa por Migrón, y en Micmas pasará revista a sus armas.
29 They have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
Pasan el vado y dicen: Geba será nuestro alojamiento. Ramá está aterrada, Gabaa de Saúl huyó.
30 Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.
¡Clama a gran voz, hija de Galim! ¡Escucha, Lais! ¡Pobrecita Anatot!
31 Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
Madmena huyó, y los habitantes de Gebim buscan refugio.
32 Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, The hill of Jerusalem.
Hoy mismo hace alto en Nob. Ya agita la mano contra la Montaña de la hija de Sion, la Montaña de Jerusalén.
33 Behold, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty have become low,
¡Miren! El ʼAdón Yavé de las huestes desgaja el ramaje con violencia. Los de gran altura son talados. Los más altos serán abatidos.
34 And He has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
Cortará con hierro la espesura del bosque. El Líbano caerá por causa del Poderoso.
