Isaías 31
1 ¡Ay de los que bajan a Egipto en busca de ayuda! Confían en caballos y fijan su esperanza en carruajes porque son muchos, y en jinetes porque son muy fuertes. Pero no miran al Santo de Israel, ni buscan a Yavé.
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and depend on horses, and confide in chariots because [they are] many, and in horsemen because they are very strong; and who look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!
2 Pero Él también es sabio. Traerá el desastre y no revoca su Palabra. Se levantará contra la casa de malhechores, contra un auxilio de los obradores de iniquidad.
But he also is wise, and he bringeth evil, and recalleth not his words; and he will arise against the house of evildoers, and against the help of workers of iniquity.
3 Los egipcios son hombres, no ʼelohim. Sus caballos son carne, no espíritu. De modo que cuando Yavé extienda su mano, caerán el protector y el protegido. Todos ellos serán exterminados juntamente.
And the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh, and not spirit; and Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, and he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall perish together.
4 Como ruge el león o el cachorro de león sobre su presa, y no se atemoriza por el griterío de los pastores que llegan contra él, ni se intimida por el tumulto de ellos, así descenderá Yavé de las huestes a combatir sobre la Montaña Sion y sobre su colina.
For thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Like as the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, is not afraid of their voice, nor giveth way before the multitude of them; so will Jehovah of hosts come down to war upon mount Zion, and on the hill thereof.
5 Como ave que revolotea, así Yavé de las huestes amparará a Jerusalén: la amparará, la librará, la preservará y la salvará.
As birds with outstretched wings, so will Jehovah of hosts cover Jerusalem; covering, he will also deliver, passing over, he will rescue [it].
6 Oh hijos de Israel, regresen a Aquel contra Quien se rebelaron de manera tan radical.
Turn unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, ye children of Israel;
7 Aquel día el hombre tirará con desprecio sus ídolos de plata y de oro que sus manos pecadoras hicieron.
for in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your sinful hands have made unto you.
8 Asiria caerá a espada no de hombre. La devorará una espada no de humanos, y sus jóvenes serán sometidos a trabajos forzados.
And Asshur shall fall by the sword, not of a great man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary;
9 Su fortaleza se desvanecerá a causa del terror. Sus líderes dejarán sus estandartes a causa del pavor, dice Yavé, Quien tiene su hoguera en Sion y su horno en Jerusalén.
and for fear, he shall pass over to his rock, and his princes shall be afraid of the banner, saith Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
