Isaiah 2
1 This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
He aquí lo que vio Isaías, hijo de Amós, acerca de Judá y Jerusalén:
2 [I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
Acontecerá en los últimos tiempos que el monte de la Casa de Yahvé será establecido en la cumbre de los montes, y se elevará sobre los collados; y acudirán a él todas las naciones.
3 People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
Y llegarán muchos pueblos y dirán: “¡Venid, subamos al monte de Yahvé, a la Casa del Dios de Jacob! Él nos enseñará sus caminos, e iremos por sus sendas”; pues de Sión saldrá la ley, y de Jerusalén la palabra de Yahvé.
4 Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
El será árbitro entre las naciones, y juzgará a muchos pueblos; y de sus espadas forjarán rejas de arado, y de sus lanzas hoces. No alzará ya espada pueblo contra pueblo, ni aprenderán más la guerra.
5 You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
¡Casa de Jacob, venid, y caminemos en la luz de Yahvé!
6 [Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
Pues Tú desechaste a tu pueblo, la casa de Jacob, por cuanto están llenos (de la corrupción) del Oriente; son agoreros como los filisteos, y pactan con los extranjeros.
7 Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
Su tierra está llena de plata y de oro, y sus tesoros no tienen fin;
8 [But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
llena está su tierra también de caballos, y son innumerables sus carros. Su tierra rebosa de ídolos; se prosternan ante las obras de sus manos, ante lo que han fabricado sus dedos.
9 So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
(Todo) hombre se postró, y se humillaron los mortales; por tanto no les perdones.
10 All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Métete en la peña y escóndete en el polvo, ante el terror de Yahvé, y ante la gloria de su majestad.
11 Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Entonces serán abatidos los ojos altivos del hombre, y su soberbia quedará humillada; solo Yahvé será ensalzado en aquel día.
12 The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
Pues Yahvé de los ejércitos ha fijado un día (de juicio) contra todos los soberbios y altivos, contra todos los que se ensalzan, para humillarlos,
13 [He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
contra todos los cedros del Líbano, altos y erguidos, contra todas las encinas de Basan,
14 He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
contra todos los montes encumbrados, contra todos los collados elevados,
15 He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
contra toda torre alta y contra toda muralla fortificada,
16 He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
contra todas las naves de Tarsis y contra todo lo que es hermoso a la vista.
17 He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
Será abatida la altivez de los hombres, y humillada la soberbia humana; Yahvé solo será ensalzado en aquel día;
18 All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
y todos los ídolos desaparecerán.
19 When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
Se esconderán en las cuevas de las peñas y en los hoyos de la tierra ante el terror de Yahvé y ante la gloria de su majestad, cuando Él se levantare para causar espanto en la tierra.
20 On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
En aquel día el hombre arrojará sus ídolos de plata, y sus ídolos de oro, que se hizo para adorarlos, a los topos y a los murciélagos,
21 Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
para esconderse en las cavernas de las peñas, y en las hendiduras de las rocas, ante el terror de Yahvé y ante la gloria de su majestad, cuando Él se levantare para causar espanto en la tierra.
22 [So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
¡Cesad de confiar en el hombre, cuya vida no es más que un soplo de su nariz! Pues ¿de qué valor es el (hombre)?
