Isaiah 33
1 Terrible things will happen to you [people of Assyria]! You have destroyed [others], [but] you have not been destroyed [yet]. You have betrayed/deceived [others], [but] you have not been betrayed/deceived [yet]. When you stop destroying [others], others will destroy you. When you stop betraying/deceiving others, [others] betray you.
¡Ay de ti que devastas, y no has sido devastado! ¡Ay de ti, traidor, que no has sido traicionado! Cuando acabes de devastar, serás tú devastado; cuando ya no puedas traicionar, serás tú traicionado.
2 Yahweh, be kind to us, because we have patiently waited for you [to help us]. Enable us to be strong every day, and rescue us when we have troubles.
Yahvé, ten misericordia de nosotros; en Ti esperamos; sé Tú el brazo de (tu pueblo) cada mañana, nuestra salvación en el tiempo de la angustia.
3 Our enemies run away when they hear your voice. When you stand up and show that you are powerful [IDM], the people of all nations flee.
A la voz estrepitosa (de Dios) huyen los pueblos; al alzarte Tú, se dispersan las naciones;
4 [And after our enemies have been defeated], we, your people, will take away all our enemies’ possessions like [SIM] caterpillars and locusts strip off all the leaves of plants.
y se recogerán vuestros despojos como se recogen las langostas, pues se precipitarán sobre él como langostas.
5 Yahweh is greater than anyone else, and he lives in heaven, and he will rule justly and righteously in Jerusalem.
Excelso es Yahvé, pues habita en lo alto, llena a Sión de rectitud y justicia.
6 [When that happens], he will enable you to live securely/safely; he will fully protect your possessions, he will enable you to be wise and to know [all that you need to know]; and revering Yahweh will be [like] [MET] a valuable treasure for you.
Habrá seguridad en tus tiempos riqueza de salvación, sabiduría y ciencia; y el temor de Yahvé será tu tesoro.
7 [But now], look, our brave men are crying out in the streets; our ambassadors [have gone to other countries to make peace treaties], [but they will] cry bitterly [because they will not succeed].
He aquí que los de Ariel lanzan gritos en las calles, los embajadores de paz lloran amargamente.
8 No one travels on our roads [DOU]. [The leaders of Assyria] have broken/disregarded their peace treaty [with us]; they despise the people who made those treaties, and they do not respect anyone.
Desiertos están los caminos, ya no hay transeúntes; pues él ha roto el pacto y maltratado a las ciudades, no para mientes en nadie.
9 The land [of Judah] is dry and barren. The [cedar trees in] Lebanon are drying up and decaying. The Sharon [Plain along the coast] is now a desert. There are no more leaves on the trees in the Bashan and Carmel [areas].
La tierra está de luto y languidece, el Líbano se consume por vergüenza, Sarón es como un desierto, Basan y el Carmelo han perdido su follaje.
10 Yahweh says, “Now I will begin to show that I am very powerful [DOU].
Ahora me levantaré, dice Yahvé; ahora me alzaré, ahora me ensalzaré.
11 You [people of Assyria] make plans that are [as useless as] [MET] chaff and straw. Your breath will become a fire that will burn you up.
Concebisteis paja y pariréis rastrojos, vuestro espíritu cual fuego os devorará.
12 [Your] people will be burned until only ashes remain [MET] like [SIM] thornbushes are cut down and burned up in a fire.
Los pueblos serán como hornos de cal, cual zarzas cortadas que arden en el fuego.
13 You people who live far away and you people who live nearby, pay attention to what I have done and realize that I am [very] powerful.”
Escuchad, los que estáis lejos, lo que he hecho Yo; reconoced mi poder los que estáis cerca.
14 The sinners in Jerusalem will tremble because of being very afraid; godless people will be terrified. [They say], “None of us can [RHQ] remain alive because this fire is burning everything; it is like the fire on Yahweh’s altar that will burn forever!”
Tiemblan los pecadores en Sión, temblor se ha apoderado de los impíos. ¿Quién de nosotros podrá habitar en el fuego devorador? ¿Quién de nosotros podrá morar entre llamas eternas?
15 Those who act honestly and say what is right, those who do not try to become rich by (extortion/forcing people to give them money), those who do not try to get bribes, those who refuse to listen to people who are planning to murder someone, those who do not join others who urge them to do what is wrong,
Aquel que anda en justicia y habla lo que es recto, que rechaza las ganancias adquiridas por extorsión, que sacude sus manos para no aceptar soborno, que tapa sus oídos para no oír proyectos sanguinarios, que cierra sus ojos para no ver el mal,
16 they are the people who will live safely [MTY]; they will find places to be safe in the caves in the mountains. They will have plenty of food and water.
este tendrá su morada en las alturas, su refugio serán las rocas fortificadas; se le dará su pan y no le faltará su agua.
17 You [SYN] [people of Judah] will see the king wearing all his beautiful [robes], and you will see that he rules a land that extends far away.
Tus ojos contemplarán al Rey en su belleza, verán una tierra que se extiende muy lejos.
18 When you see that, you will think about when you were previously terrified, [and you will say], “[The officers of Assyria] who counted the tax money that we were forced to pay to them [have disappeared] [RHQ]! Those men who counted our towers [are gone] [RHQ]!
Entonces tu corazón se acordará de los temores (diciendo): ¿Dónde está el letrado? ¿Dónde el que pesaba (los tributos)? ¿Dónde el que contaba las torres?
19 Those arrogant people who spoke a language that we could not understand are no longer here!”
No verás más a ese pueblo fiero, pueblo de lengua oscura, que no se puede entender, de lengua ininteligible que no tiene sentido.
20 [At that time], you will see Zion Hill, the place where we celebrate our festivals; you will see that Jerusalem has become a place that is calm and safe. It will be [secure], [like] [SIM] a tent [that cannot be moved because] its ropes are tight and its stakes are firmly in the ground.
Mira a Sión, la ciudad de nuestras fiestas; vean tus ojos a Jerusalén, la morada tranquila, el Tabernáculo que no será removido, y cuyas estacas no serán arrancadas jamás; no se romperá ninguna de sus cuerdas.
21 Yahweh will be our mighty God; he will be [like] [SIM] a mighty river that will protect us because [our enemies] will not be able to cross it; no one will be able to row across it and no ships will be able to sail across it.
Allí, Yahvé reside en su majestad; Él nos protegerá en lugar de ríos y anchas aguas, por donde no pasa barca de remos, ni surca gallardo navío.
22 Yahweh is our judge; he is the one who gives us laws, and he is our king. He will rescue us.
Porque Yahvé es nuestro Juez, Yahvé, nuestro Legislador, Yahvé, nuestro Rey; Él es quien nos salva.
23 The ropes on our enemies’ boats will hang loose, their masts will not be fastened firmly, and their sails will not be spread out. The treasures that they have seized will be divided [among us, God’s people], and even lame [people among us] will get some.
Se aflojaron tus cuerdas, ya no pueden mantener derecho el mástil, ni desplegar la bandera. Entonces se repartirán los despojos de una rica presa, hasta los cojos se llevarán botín.
24 And the people in Jerusalem will no [longer] say, “We are sick,” [because Yahweh] will forgive the sins that have been committed by the people who live there.
No dirá más el habitante: “Estoy enfermo”, pues el pueblo que vive allí, recibirá el perdón de la iniquidad.
