Isaiah 14
1 [But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
Porque el Señor tendrá misericordia de Jacob, y volverá a hacer de Israel su pueblo especial, y los pondrá en su tierra; y el hombre extranjero se juntara a ellos y se unirá a la familia de Jacob.
2 People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
Y el pueblo los llevará con ellos a su lugar, y los hijos de Israel les darán una herencia en la tierra del Señor como sirvientes y sirvientas, haciéndolos prisioneros de los cuales eran prisioneros; y serán gobernantes de sus amos.
3 Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
Y será en el día en que el Señor te dé descanso de tu dolor, de tu angustia y del duro yugo que te habían puesto.
4 When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
Que recitarás esta amarga canción contra el rey de Babilonia, y dirás: ¡Cómo ha terminado el cruel tirano! Como cesó la ciudad de oro;
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
La vara de los que hacen el mal, la vara de los gobernantes, es quebrantada por el Señor;
6 You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
Aquel cuya vara estaba sobre los pueblos con una ira interminable, gobernando a las naciones con ira, con un gobierno incontrolado.
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
Toda la tierra está en reposo y está en silencio y estalla en cantos de alegría.
8 [It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
Incluso los árboles del bosque se alegran sobre ti, los árboles del Líbano, diciendo: Desde el momento de tu caída, ningún cortador de madera ha subido contra nosotros con un hacha.
9 The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
El inframundo se conmueve con tu venida, los muertos están despiertos ante ti, incluso los fuertes de la tierra. Todos los reyes del mundo se han levantado de sus asientos. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
Todos te responden y te dicen: ¿Te has vuelto débil como nosotros? ¿Has sido hecho como nosotros?
11 You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
Tu orgullo ha descendido al inframundo y el ruido de tus instrumentos de música; Los gusanos están debajo de ti, y tu cuerpo está cubierto con ellos. (Sheol h7585)
12 You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
¡Qué grande es tu caída del cielo, oh lucero de la aurora, hijo de la mañana! ¿Cómo has caído a la tierra, tú que debilitabas a las naciones?
13 You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
Porque dijiste en tu corazón: Subiré al cielo, haré mi asiento más alto que las estrellas de Dios; Tomaré mi lugar en la montaña del lugar de reunión de los dioses, en las partes más alejadas del norte.
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
Subiré más alto que las nubes; Seré como el Altísimo.
15 [But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Pero descenderás al inframundo, incluso a sus partes más profundas. (Sheol h7585)
16 The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
Los que te vean te estarán observando con cuidado, pensarán profundamente y dirán: ¿Es éste el perturbador de la tierra, el agitador de los reinos?
17 Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
Que hizo del mundo un desperdicio, derribando sus ciudades; Quien no dejó escapar a sus prisioneros de la cárcel.
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
Todos los reyes de la tierra descansan en gloria, cada uno en su sepulcro.
19 but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
Pero tú, como un nacimiento antes de su tiempo, estás tendido sin lugar de descanso en la tierra; vestido con los cuerpos de los muertos que han sido arrojados a la espada, que descienden a las partes más bajas del inframundo; Un cuerpo muerto, aplastado bajo el pie.
20 Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
En cuanto a tus padres, no estarás unido a ellos en su lugar de descanso, porque has sido la causa de la destrucción de tu tierra y de la muerte de tu pueblo; la semilla del malvado no tendrá lugar en la memoria del hombre.
21 [People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
Prepara un lugar de muerte para sus hijos, por el mal hecho de sus padres; para que no puedan subir y tomar la tierra por su herencia, cubriendo la faz del mundo con ciudades.
22 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
Porque subiré contra ellos, dice el Señor de los ejércitos, cortando el nombre y la descendencia de Babilonia, el hijo y el hijo del hijo, dice el Señor.
23 I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
Y te haré una herencia para el erizo y los estanques de agua; y la barreré con la escoba de la destrucción, dice el Señor de los ejércitos.
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
El Señor de los Ejércitos ha hecho un juramento, diciendo: Lo que había pensado ciertamente se cumplirá, y lo que había planeado se llevará a cabo.
25 [When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
Para que el asirio sea quebrantado en mi tierra, y aplastado bajo mis montañas: allí será quitado su yugo, y su gobierno sobre ellos llegará a su fin.
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
Este es el propósito para toda la tierra, y esta es la mano extendida sobre todas las naciones.
27 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
Porque es el propósito del Señor de los ejércitos, y ¿quién lo hará inútil? cuando su mano está extendida, ¿por quién puede ser devuelta?
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
En el año de la muerte del rey Acaz, esta palabra llegó al profeta:
29 You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
No se alegren, oh Filistea, todos ustedes, porque se quebró la vara que los oprimía; porque de la raíz de la serpiente saldrá una serpiente venenosa, y su fruto será una serpiente venenosa alada.
30 Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
Y los más pobres de la tierra tendrán comida, y los necesitados tendrán un lugar de descanso seguro, pero tu simiente llegará a su fin por la necesidad de comida, y el resto de ustedes serán puestos a la espada.
31 [So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
¡Envía un clamor, oh puerta! ¡Gime de tristeza, pueblo! Desanímate, tu tierra ha quedado en nada, oh Filistea; porque sale un humo del norte, y todos mantienen su lugar en la fila.
32 If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
¿Qué respuesta dará, entonces, mi pueblo a los representantes de la nación? Que el Señor es el constructor de Sión, y ella será un lugar seguro para los pobres de su pueblo.
