Isaías 2
1 Esta es la visión que Isaías, hijo de Amoz, vio sobre Judá y Jerusalén.
The word which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
2 En los últimos días, la montaña donde se levanta el Templo del Señor será conocida como la más alta de todas las montañas, elevándose por encima de otras colinas. Muchos vendrán de otras naciones para visitarla.
And it will come about in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and all nations will come to it.
3 La gente vendrá y dirá: “Subamos al monte del Señor, al Templo del Dios de Jacob. Allí Dios nos enseñará sus caminos y seguiremos sus indicaciones. Las enseñanzas de Dios se extenderán desde Sión, y su palabra desde Jerusalén”.
And the peoples will say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will give us knowledge of his ways, and we will be guided by his word; for out of Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 El Señor decidirá los casos de las naciones; resolverá las discusiones entre ellas. Martillarán sus espadas y las convertirán en hojas de arado, y sus lanzas en podaderas. Las naciones ya no lucharán entre sí; ya no aprenderán métodos de guerra.
And he will be the judge between the nations, and the peoples will be ruled by his decisions: and their swords will be turned into plough-blades, and their spears into vine-knives: no longer will the nations be turning their swords against one another, and the knowledge of war will be gone for ever.
5 Vengan, israelitas, caminemos a la luz del Señor.
O family of Jacob, come, and let us go in the light of the Lord.
6 Porque tú, Señor, has renunciado a tu pueblo, los israelitas, porque han adoptado prácticas paganas de Oriente, usan hechizos como los filisteos y se hacen amigos de los extranjeros.
For you, O Lord, have given up your people, the family of Jacob, because they are full of the evil ways of the east, and make use of secret arts like the Philistines, and are friends with the children of strange countries.
7 Su país está lleno de plata y oro, y de una riqueza infinita. Su tierra está llena de caballos; y tienen una cantidad interminable de carros.
And their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no end to their stores; their land is full of horses, and there is no end to their carriages.
8 Su país está lleno de ídolos; se inclinan y adoran lo que han hecho ellos mismos, producido por sus propias manos.
Their land is full of images; they give worship to the work of their hands, even to that which their fingers have made.
9 Este pueblo será abatido y humillado: ¡Señor, no los perdones!
And the poor man's head is bent, and the great man goes down on his face: for this cause there will be no forgiveness for their sin.
10 Huyan a las cuevas de las rocas, escóndanse bajo tierra de la presencia aterradora del Señor, de la gloria de su majestad.
Go into a hole in the rock, covering yourselves with dust, in fear of the Lord, before the glory of his power.
11 Los que miran con arrogancia serán abatidos; los soberbios serán humillados. En ese día sólo el Señor será exaltado.
The high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low, and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.
12 El Señor ha reservado un día en el que se ocupará de los orgullosos y arrogantes. Acabará con toda la altivez, y los derribará.
For the day of the Lord of armies is coming on all the pride of men, and on all who are high and lifted up;
13 Derribará los cedros del Líbano, altos y elevados, y todos los grandes robles de Basán,
And on all the high trees of Lebanon, and on all the strong trees of Bashan;
14 Derribará los altos montes y las altas colinas.
And on all the high mountains, and on all the hills which are lifted up;
15 Derribará toda torre alta y todo muro defensivo.
And on every high tower, and on every strong wall;
16 Aniquilará a todos los barcos comerciales de Tarsis, así como las embarcaciones comerciales.
And on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all the fair boats.
17 Los arrogantes serán abatidos, y los orgullosos serán humillados. En ese día sólo el Señor será exaltado.
And the high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low: and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.
18 Los ídolos desaparecerán por completo.
And the images will never be seen again.
19 La gente huirá a las cuevas de las rocas y a los agujeros de la tierra para tratar de esconderse de la presencia aterradora del Señor, de la gloria de su majestad, cuando llegue a sacudir la tierra.
And men will go into cracks of the rocks, and into holes of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.
20 Ese día la gente tomará los ídolos de plata y oro que construyeron para adorar y los arrojarán a las ratas y a los murciélagos.
In that day men will put their images of silver and of gold, which they made for worship, in the keeping of the beasts of the dark places;
21 Correrán a las grietas de las rocas y a las brechas de los acantilados para tratar de esconderse de la aterradora presencia del Señor, de la gloria de su majestad, cuando llegue a sacudir la tierra.
To take cover in the cracks of the rocks, and in the holes of the hills, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.
22 No se molesten en confiar en los seres humanos que sólo viven por un corto tiempo. ¿Acaso qué valor tienen?
Have no more to do with man, whose life is only a breath, for he is of no value.
