Isaías 31
1 ¡Ay de los que bajan a Egipto en busca de socorro, poniendo su esperanza en caballos, confiando en la muchedumbre de los carros y en la caballería, por cuanto es muy fuerte, pero no miran al Santo de Israel, y no buscan a Yahvé!
Woe to those who go down to Egypt [Abode of slavery] for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails], and they don’t seek Adonai!
2 Pues Él es sabio; Él trae el mal y cumple sus palabras; Él se levantará contra la casa de los malhechores, y contra el auxilio que viene de los obradores de iniquidad.
Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work vain striving of iniquity.
3 El egipcio es hombre, y no Dios, sus caballos son carne, y no espíritu; cuando Yahvé extendiere su mano, tropezará el auxiliador, y caerá el auxiliado, y todos perecerán juntos.
Now the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Adonai stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
4 Porque así me ha hablado Yahvé: Ruge el león y el leoncillo sobre su presa, aunque se convoca contra él una multitud de pastores, no se deja aterrar por sus gritos, ni se acobarda a causa de su muchedumbre; así descenderá Yahvé de los ejércitos para combatir en el monte Sión y en su collado.
For Adonai says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] will come down to fight on Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] and on its heights.
5 Como ave que revolotea, así Yahvé de los ejércitos protegerá a Jerusalén; protegerá y librará, pasará y salvará.
As birds hovering, so Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] will protect Jerusalem [City of peace]. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
6 ¡Convertíos a Aquel de quien os habéis alejado tanto, oh hijos de Israel!
Make teshuvah ·complete return· to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel [God prevails].
7 Porque en aquel día cada uno rechazará sus ídolos de plata y sus ídolos de oro, que vuestras manos os han fabricado para pecar.
For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold— crime deserving penalty, sin ·missing the goal· which your own hands have made for you.
8 Y caerá el asirio al filo de la espada, mas no por mano de hombre; una espada, que no es de hombre, lo devorará; huirá delante de la espada, y sus jóvenes serán tributarios.
“The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
9 Espantados se escaparán sus jefes, y despavoridos abandonarán sus príncipes la bandera. Oráculo de Yahvé que tiene su fuego en Sión, y su horno en Jerusalén.
His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says Adonai, whose fire is in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and his furnace in Jerusalem [City of peace].
