Isaías 10
1 ¡Ay de los que dictan leyes injustas y los que registran decisiones inicuas,
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
2 privan de justicia al débil y niegan el derecho a los pobres de mi pueblo, y tienen a las viudas como presas y despojan a los huérfanos!
To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
3 ¿Qué harán el día del castigo? ¿A quién huirán en busca de auxilio en la devastación que vendrá de lejos? ¿Dónde dejarán su riqueza?
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 Nada, sino agacharse entre los cautivos, o caer entre los asesinados. A pesar de todo esto, no se aplaca su furor. Su mano sigue extendida.
Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 ¡Ay de Asiria, vara de mi furor, en cuyas manos puse el cetro de mi ira!
O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
6 La enviaré contra una nación profana. La comisionaré contra el pueblo de mi furor, para que capture el botín, tome el despojo, y lo pisotee como barro de las calles.
I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Pero no lo entenderá así, ni serán esos sus designios. Su propósito será destruir y exterminar muchas naciones.
Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
8 Porque dijo: ¿No son reyes todos mis ministros?
For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 ¿No es Calno como Carquemis? ¿No es Hamat como Arfad? ¿No es Samaria como Damasco?
Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Así como mi mano alcanzó los reinos de los ʼelohim, aunque sus imágenes eran más que las de Jerusalén y de Samaria,
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 ¿no haré así a Jerusalén y a sus ʼelohim, como hice a Samaria y a sus ʼelohim?
Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12 Por tanto, acontecerá que cuando ʼAdonay acabe toda su obra en la Montaña Sion y en Jerusalén, castigará el fruto del corazón arrogante del rey de Asiria, y la arrogancia altiva de sus ojos.
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
13 Porque dijo: Con la fuerza de mi mano hice esto, con mi talento, porque soy entendido. Así quité los territorios de los pueblos. Me apoderé de sus tesoros, y como valiente derribé a los que estaban entronizados.
For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
14 Como se recogen de un nido los huevos abandonados, mi mano tomó la riqueza de los pueblos. Así me apoderé yo de toda la tierra, y no hubo quien abriera su pico o gorjeara.
And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
15 ¿Se enaltecerá el hacha contra el que la empuña? ¿Se engrandecerá la sierra sobre el que la maneja? ¡Como si el cetro levantara al que lo levanta, o la vara levantara al que no es madera!
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.
16 Por eso ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes enviará una enfermedad exterminante entre sus robustos guerreros, y debajo de su gloria encenderá una hoguera de fuego ardiente.
Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of Armies, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 La luz de Israel se convertirá en fuego, su Santo en llama de fuego que arderá y consumirá sus zarzas y sus espinos en un solo día.
And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
18 Él consumirá totalmente alma y cuerpo, la gloria de su bosque y de su campo fértil. Será como cuando un enfermo languidece.
And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
19 Los árboles que queden en el bosque serán tan pocos que hasta un niño los podrá contar.
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
20 Acontecerá en aquel día que el remanente de Israel y los de la casa de Jacob ya no se apoyarán en su agresor, sino verdaderamente se apoyarán en Yavé, el Santo de Israel.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon Yhwh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Un remanente volverá, el remanente de Jacob, al ʼEL poderoso.
The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 Pues aunque tu pueblo, oh Israel, sea como la arena del mar, solo un remanente de ellos volverá. ¡La destrucción decretada rebosará de justicia!
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
23 ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes ejecutará la completa destrucción decretada en medio de toda la tierra.
For the Lord Yhwh of Armies shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
24 Por tanto, ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes dice: Pueblo mío que vive en Sion, no temas a Asiria. Te herirá con vara y alzará su cetro contra ti a la manera de Egipto.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Yhwh of Armies, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 Porque dentro de muy poco tiempo mi furor y mi enojo se aplicarán a la destrucción de ellos.
For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
26 Yavé de las huestes levantará látigo contra ellos, como en la matanza de Madián junto a la peña de Horeb. Alzará su vara sobre el mar, como hizo en Egipto.
And Yhwh of Armies shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 Acontecerá en aquel tiempo que su carga será quitada de tu hombro y su yugo de tu nuca. El yugo se pudrirá a causa de tu unción.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
28 Viene contra Ajat, pasa por Migrón, y en Micmas pasará revista a sus armas.
He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:
29 Pasan el vado y dicen: Geba será nuestro alojamiento. Ramá está aterrada, Gabaa de Saúl huyó.
They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 ¡Clama a gran voz, hija de Galim! ¡Escucha, Lais! ¡Pobrecita Anatot!
Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.
31 Madmena huyó, y los habitantes de Gebim buscan refugio.
Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 Hoy mismo hace alto en Nob. Ya agita la mano contra la Montaña de la hija de Sion, la Montaña de Jerusalén.
As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 ¡Miren! El ʼAdón Yavé de las huestes desgaja el ramaje con violencia. Los de gran altura son talados. Los más altos serán abatidos.
Behold, the Lord, Yhwh of Armies, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 Cortará con hierro la espesura del bosque. El Líbano caerá por causa del Poderoso.
And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
