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 put their trust in horses, And confide in chariots, because they are many, And in horsemen, because their number is great, But look not to the Holy One of Israel, And resort not to 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.
Yet he, too, is wise; He will bring evil, and not take back his words; He will arise against the house of the evil-doers, And against the help of them that do 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.
The Egyptians are men, and not God, And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, Then shall the helper fall, and the helped be overthrown; And they shall all 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 to me: As when the lion and the young lion growl over their prey, And a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, By their noise he is not terrified, Nor by their tumult disheartened; So shall Jehovah of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and her hill.
5 Como ave que revolotea, así Yavé de las huestes amparará a Jerusalén: la amparará, la librará, la preservará y la salvará.
As birds hover over their young, So shall Jehovah of hosts defend Jerusalem; He will defend and deliver, spare and save.
6 Oh hijos de Israel, regresen a Aquel contra Quien se rebelaron de manera tan radical.
Turn, O ye children of Israel, To him from whom ye have so deeply revolted! For in that day shall every one cast away his idols of
7 Aquel día el hombre tirará con desprecio sus ídolos de plata y de oro que sus manos pecadoras hicieron.
silver and his idols of gold, Which your hands have made for sin.
8 Asiria caerá a espada no de hombre. La devorará una espada no de humanos, y sus jóvenes serán sometidos a trabajos forzados.
The Assyrian shall fall by a sword not of man, Yea, a sword not of mortal shall devour him; He shall flee before the sword, And his young warriors shall be slaves.
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.
Through fear shall he pass beyond his stronghold, And his princes shall be afraid of the standard. Thus saith Jehovah, who hath his fire in Zion, And his furnace in Jerusalem.
