Isaías 10

1 ¡Ay de los que establecen leyes injustas, y determinando determinan tiranía:

Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

2 Por apartar del juicio a los pobres, y por quitar el derecho a los afligidos de mi pueblo: por despojar las viudas, y robar 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 ¿Y qué haréis en el día de la visitación? ¿y a quién os acogeréis que os ayude, cuando viniere de lejos el asolamiento? ¿y en dónde dejaréis vuestra gloria?

And what will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory?

4 Sin mí se inclinaron entre los presos; y cayeron entre los muertos. Ni con todo eso cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano 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 O! Asur, vara de mi furor, y palo él mismo, mi enojo en la mano de ellos.

O Assyrian, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.

6 Enviarle he contra nación fingida; y sobre pueblo de mi ira le enviaré, para que despoje despojos, y robe presa, y que lo ponga que sea hollado, como lodo 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 Aunque él no lo pensará así, ni su corazón lo imaginará de esta manera: mas su pensamiento será de desarraigar, y cortar naciones no pocas.

However, he means not so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

8 Porque él dirá: ¿Mis príncipes no son todos reyes?

For he says, Are not my princes altogether kings?

9 ¿No es Calno como Carcamis; Armad como Arfad; y Samaria como Damasco?

Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

10 Como halló mi mano los reinos de los ídolos, siendo sus imágenes más que Jerusalem y Samaria:

As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

11 Como hice a Samaria y a sus ídolos, ¿no haré también así a Jerusalem y a sus ídolos?

Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

12 Mas acontecerá, que después que el Señor hubiere acabado toda su obra en el monte de Sión, y en Jerusalem, visitaré sobre el fruto de la soberbia del corazón del rey de Asiria, y sobre la gloria de la altivez de sus ojos:

Why it shall come to pass, that when the Lord has performed his whole work on 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 fortaleza de mi mano lo he hecho, y con mi sabiduría, porque he sido prudente: que quité los términos de los pueblos, y sus tesoros saqueé; y derribé como valiente los que estaban sentados.

For he says, 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 Y halló mi mano las riquezas de los pueblos, como nido; y como se cojen los huevos dejados, así apañé yo toda la tierra; y no hubo quien moviese ala, o abriese boca y graznase.

And my hand has found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathers 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 ¿Gloriarse ha la segur contra el que corta con ella? ¿ensoberbecerse ha la sierra contra el que la mueve? como si el bordón se levantase contra los que lo levantan; como si la vara se levantase: ¿no es leño?

Shall the ax boast itself against him that hews therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shakes 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 tanto el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos enviará flaqueza sobre sus gordos; y debajo de su gloria encenderá encendimiento, como encendimiento de fuego.

Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

17 Y la luz de Israel será por fuego, y su Santo por llama que abrase y consuma en un día sus cardos y sus espinas.

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 La gloria de su breña, y de su campo fértil consumirá desde el alma hasta la carne; y será como deshecha de alférez.

And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer faints.

19 Y los árboles que quedaren en su breña, serán por cuenta, que un niño los pueda contar.

And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

20 Y acontecerá en aquel tiempo, que los que hubieren quedado de Israel, y los que hubieren quedado de la casa de Jacob, nunca más estriben sobre el que los hirió; porque estribarán sobre Jehová, Santo de Israel, con verdad.

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 on him that smote them; but shall stay on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 Los restos se convertirán, los restos de Jacob, al Dios fuerte.

The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.

22 Porque si tu pueblo, o! Israel, fuere como las arenas de la mar, los restos se convertirán en él. La consumación fenecida inunda justicia.

For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

23 Por tanto el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos hará consumación, y fenecimiento en medio de toda la tierra.

For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the middle of all the land.

24 Por tanto el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos dice así: No temas, pueblo mío, morador de Sión, del Asur. Con vara te herirá, y contra ti alzará su palo por la vía de Egipto:

Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite you with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt.

25 Mas desde aun poco, un poquito, se acabará el furor, y mi enojo, para fenecimiento de ellos.

For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in their destruction.

26 Y levantará Jehová de los ejércitos azote contra él, como la matanza de Madián a la peña de Horeb; y alzará su vara sobre la mar, por la vía de Egipto.

And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a whip for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was on the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

27 Y acaecerá en aquel tiempo, que su carga será quitada de tu hombro, y su yugo de tu cerviz; y el yugo se empodrecerá delante de la unción.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

28 Vino hasta Ajad, pasó hasta Migrón: en Micmas contará su ejército.

He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he has laid up his carriages:

29 Pasaron el vado: alojaron en Geba: Rama tembló: Gabaa de Saul huyó.

They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

30 Grita a alta voz hija de Gallim: Laisa, haz que te oiga la pobrecilla Anatot.

Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth.

31 Madmena se alborotó: los moradores de Gebim se juntarán.

Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

32 Aun vendrá día cuando reposará en Nob: alzará su mano al monte de la hija de Sión, al collado de Jerusalem.

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 He aquí que el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos desgajará el ramo con fortaleza; y los de grande altura serán cortados, y los altos serán humillados.

Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

34 Y cortará con hierro la espesura de la breña; y el Líbano caerá con fortaleza.

And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
