Isaiah 10
1 “Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
¡Ay de los que establecen leyes injustas, y determinando determinan tiranía:
2 Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil the fatherless.
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 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?
¿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 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.
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 “Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
O! Asur, vara de mi furor, y palo él mismo, mi enojo en la mano de ellos.
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.
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 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.
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 my princes not altogether kings?
Porque él dirá: ¿Mis príncipes no son todos reyes?
9 Is not Calno as 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 gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
Como halló mi mano los reinos de los ídolos, siendo sus imágenes más que Jerusalem y 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?”
Como hice a Samaria y a sus ídolos, ¿no haré también así a Jerusalem y a sus ídolos?
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.
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, “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 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 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.”
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 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!
¿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 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 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 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.
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 his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
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 forest [are] few, And a youth writes them.
Y los árboles que quedaren en su breña, serán por cuenta, que un niño los pueda 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.
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 A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.
Los restos se convertirán, los restos de Jacob, al Dios fuerte.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] 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 a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
Por tanto el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos hará consumación, y fenecimiento 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 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 yet a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
Mas desde aun poco, un poquito, se acabará el furor, y mi enojo, para fenecimiento 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.
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 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.
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 come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
Vino hasta Ajad, pasó hasta Migrón: en Micmas contará su ejército.
29 They have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
Pasaron el vado: alojaron en Geba: Rama tembló: Gabaa de Saul huyó.
30 Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.
Grita a alta voz hija de Gallim: Laisa, haz que te oiga la pobrecilla Anatot.
31 Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
Madmena se alborotó: los moradores de Gebim se juntarán.
32 Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, 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 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,
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 has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
Y cortará con hierro la espesura de la breña; y el Líbano caerá con fortaleza.
