Isaiah 9
1 For [there will be] no gloom on her who [is] distressed as at the former time. The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter has honored the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Aunque no será esta oscuridad semejante a la aflicción que le vino en el tiempo que livianamente tocaron la primera vez a la tierra de Zabulón, y a la tierra de Neftalí: ni después cuando agravaron por la vía de la mar de esa parte del Jordán en Galilea de las naciones.
2 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light has shone on them.
Pueblo que andaba en tinieblas vio gran luz: los que moraban en tierra de sombra de muerte, luz resplandeció sobre ellos.
3 You have multiplied the nation, You have made its joy great, They have rejoiced before You as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
Aumentando la nación, no aumentaste la alegría. Alegrarse han delante de ti, como se alegran en la segada, como se gozan cuando reparten despojos.
4 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, You have broken as [in] the day of Midian.
Porque tú quebraste el yugo de su carga, y la vara de su hombro, y el cetro de su exactor, como en el día de Madián.
5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it has been for burning—fuel of fire.
Porque toda batalla de quien pelea es con estruendo, y con revolcamiento de vestidura en sangre: esta será con quema, y tragamiento de fuego.
6 For a Child has been born to us, A Son has been given to us, And the dominion is on His shoulder, And He calls His Name Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
Porque niño nos es nacido, hijo nos es dado, y el principado es asentado sobre su hombro; y llamarse ha Admirable, Consejero, Dios, Fuerte, Padre eterno, Príncipe de paz:
7 Of the increase of [His] dominion, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on His kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, From now on, even for all time, The zeal of YHWH of Hosts does this.
La multitud del señorío y la paz no tendrán término, sobre el trono de David, y sobre su reino, disponiéndole, y confirmándole en juicio y en justicia desde ahora para siempre. El zelo de Jehová de los ejércitos hará esto.
8 The Lord has sent a word into Jacob, And it has fallen in Israel.
El Señor envió palabra a Jacob, y cayó en Israel.
9 And the people have known—all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
Y sabrá el pueblo, todo él, Efraím y los moradores de Samaria, que con soberbia y con altivez de corazón, dicen:
10 “Bricks have fallen, and we build hewn work, Sycamores have been cut down, and we renew cedars.”
Ladrillos cayeron, mas de cantería edificaremos: cortaron cabrahígos, mas cedros pondremos en su lugar.
11 And YHWH sets the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And he joins his enemies together,
Mas Jehová ensalzará los enemigos de Rezín contra él, y juntará sus enemigos:
12 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Por delante a Siria, y por las espaldas a los Filisteos; y con toda la boca se tragarán a Israel. Ni con todo eso cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
13 And the people has not turned back to Him who is striking it, And they have not sought YHWH of Hosts.
Mas el pueblo no se convirtió al que le hería, ni buscaron a Jehová de los ejércitos.
14 And YHWH cuts off head and tail from Israel, Branch and reed—the same day.
Y Jehová cortará de Israel cabeza y cola, ramo y caña en un mismo día.
15 Elderly and accepted of faces—he [is] the head, And prophet teaching falsehood—he [is] the tail.
El viejo y venerable de rostro es la cabeza: el profeta que enseña mentira, este es cola.
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogized ones are consumed.
Porque los gobernadores de este pueblo son engañadores; y sus gobernados, perdidos.
17 Therefore, the Lord does not rejoice over its young men, And He does not pity its orphans and its widows, For everyone [is] profane, and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Por tanto el Señor no tomará contentamiento en sus mancebos, ni de sus huérfanos y viudas tendrá misericordia; porque todos son falsos y malignos; y toda boca habla locura: con todo esto no cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
18 For wickedness has burned as a fire, It devours brier and thorn, And it kindles in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
Porque la maldad se encendió como fuego, cardos y espinas tragará; y encendióse en lo espeso de la breña, y fueron alzados como humo.
19 In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts The land has been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man has no pity on his brother,
Por la ira de Jehová de los ejércitos la tierra se oscureció, y será el pueblo como tragamiento de fuego: hombre no tendrá piedad de su hermano.
20 And cuts down on the right, and has been hungry, And he devours on the left, And they have not been satisfied, They each devour the flesh of his own arm.
Cada uno hurtará a la mano derecha, y tendrá hambre; y comerá a la izquierda, y no se hartará: cada cual comerá la carne de su brazo:
21 Manasseh—Ephraim, and Ephraim—Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this His anger has not turned back. And His hand is still stretched out!
Manasés a Efraím, y Efraím a Manasés, y ambos ellos contra Judá. Ni con todo esto cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano extendida.
