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 rely on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
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 also [is] wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them that work 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.
Now the Egyptians [are] men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail 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 the LORD spoken to me, As the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, [he] will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for 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 flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver [it]; [and] passing over he will preserve [it].
6 Oh hijos de Israel, regresen a Aquel contra Quien se rebelaron de manera tan radical.
Turn ye to [him from] whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
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 own hands have made to you [for] a sin.
8 Asiria caerá a espada no de hombre. La devorará una espada no de humanos, y sus jóvenes serán sometidos a trabajos forzados.
Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.
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 he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire [is] in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
