< Isaiah 31 >

1 Woe [to] those going down to Egypt for help, And [who] lean on horses, And trust on chariots, because [they are] many, And on horsemen, because [they are] very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And have not sought YHWH.
¡Ay de los que descienden a Egipto por ayuda; y confían en caballos; y en carros ponen su esperanza, porque son muchos; y en caballeros, porque son valientes; y no miraron al Santo de Israel, ni buscaron al SEÑOR!
2 And He [is] also wise, and brings in evil, And He has not turned aside His words, And He has risen against a house of evildoers, And against the help of workers of iniquity.
Mas él también es sabio, para guiar el mal, ni hará mentirosas sus palabras. Se levantará, pues, contra la casa de los malignos, y contra el auxilio de los obradores de iniquidad.
3 And the Egyptians [are men], and not God, And their horses [are] flesh, and not spirit, And YHWH stretches out His hand, And the helper has stumbled, And the helped one has fallen, And together all of them are consumed.
Y el egipcio hombre es, no Dios; y sus caballos carne, y no espíritu, de manera que al extender el SEÑOR su mano, caerá el ayudador, y caerá el ayudado, y todos ellos desfallecerán a una.
4 For thus said YHWH to me: “As the lion and the young lion growl over his prey, Against whom a multitude of shepherds is called, He is not frightened from their voice, And he is not humbled from their noise; So YHWH of Hosts comes down To war on Mount Zion, and on her height.
Porque el SEÑOR me dijo a mí de esta manera: Como el león, y el cachorro del león, brama sobre su presa, contra el cual, si se llega cuadrilla de pastores, no temerá por sus voces, ni se acobardará por el tropel de ellos; así el SEÑOR de los ejércitos descenderá a pelear por el Monte de Sion, y por su collado.
5 As birds flying, so does YHWH of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.”
Como las aves que vuelan, así amparará el SEÑOR de los ejércitos a Jerusalén, amparando, librando, pasando, y salvando.
6 Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostasy.
Convertíos a aquel contra quien os habéis profundamente rebelado, oh hijos de Israel.
7 For in that day each despises His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you—a sin.
Porque en aquel día arrojará el hombre los ídolos de su plata, y los ídolos de su oro, que os hicieron vuestras manos pecadoras.
8 And Asshur has fallen by sword, not of the high, Indeed, a sword—not of the low, consumes him, And he has fled for himself from the face of a sword, And his young men become tributary.
Entonces caerá el Assur por espada no de varón; y cuchillo, no de hombre lo consumirá; y huirá de la presencia de la espada, y sus jóvenes desmayarán.
9 And he passes on [to] his rock from fear, And his princes have been frightened by the ensign—a declaration of YHWH, Who has a light in Zion, And who has a furnace in Jerusalem!
Y de miedo se pasará a su fortaleza; y sus príncipes tendrán pavor de la bandera, dice el SEÑOR, al cual hay fuego en Sion, y al cual hay horno en Jerusalén.
