Isaías 2
1 Palabra que vio Isaías, hijo de Amós, tocante a Judá, y a Jerusalem.
This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
2 Y acontecerá en lo postrero de los tiempos, que será confirmado el monte de la casa de Jehová por cabeza de los montes, y será ensalzado sobre los collados; y correrán a él todas las naciones.
[I saw that] in the future, the hill on which Yahweh’s temple is built will be the most important place on the earth; it will be [as though it is] the highest mountain, [as though] it has been raised up above all other hills; and people from all over the world will come there.
3 Y vendrán muchos pueblos, y dirán: Veníd, y subamos al monte de Jehová, a la casa del Dios de Jacob, y enseñarnos ha en sus caminos, y caminaremos por sus sendas; porque de Sión saldrá la ley, y de Jerusalem la palabra de Jehová.
People from many people-groups will say [to each other], “Come, let’s go up to the hill, to the temple of Yahweh, to worship the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. [There] Yahweh will teach us what he [desires us to know], in order that our behavior will [please] him. His teaching will be given [to us] in Jerusalem, and [we will take] his message from Jerusalem [to other places/nations].
4 Y juzgará entre las naciones, y reprenderá a muchos pueblos; y volverán sus espadas en azadones, y sus lanzas en hoces: no alzará espada nación contra nación, ni se ensayarán más para la guerra.
Yahweh will listen to the disputes between nations and he will settle their arguments. [Then, instead of fighting against each other], they will hammer their swords into plow blades, and they will hammer their spears into pruning knives. [The armies of] nations will no longer fight against each other, and they will not [even] train men to fight in battles/wars.”
5 Veníd, o! casa de Jacob, y caminemos a la luz de Jehová.
You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
6 Ciertamente tú has dejado tu pueblo, a la casa de Jacob; porque se han henchido de oriente, y de agoreros, como los Filisteos, y en hijos ajenos descansaron.
[Yahweh, ] you have abandoned [us] your people who are descendants of Jacob, because everywhere your people practice the customs of people who live east [of Israel]. Your people also perform rituals to find out what will happen in the future, like the people in Philistia do. They make agreements/treaties with (pagans/people who do not know you).
7 Su tierra está llena de plata y oro, sus tesoros no tienen fin: también está llena su tierra de caballos, ni sus carros tienen número.
Israel is full of silver and gold; there are very many (treasures/valuable things) here. The land is full of war horses and war chariots.
8 También está llena su tierra de ídolos; y a la obra de sus manos se han arrodillado, a lo que fabricaron sus dedos.
[But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
9 Y todo hombre se ha inclinado, y todo varón se ha humillado: por tanto no los perdonarás.
So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
10 Métete en la piedra, escóndete en el polvo de la presencia espantosa de Jehová, y del resplandor de su majestad.
All you people should crawl into [the caves in] the rock cliffs! You should hide [in pits/holes] in the ground because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
11 La altivez de los ojos del hombre será abatida, y la soberbia de los hombres será abajada; y Jehová solo será ensalzado en aquel día.
Yahweh will cause you people to no longer be arrogant, and he will stop you from being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
12 Porque día de Jehová de los ejércitos vendrá sobre todo soberbio y altivo, y sobre todo ensalzado, y será abajado;
The Commander of the armies of angels has chosen a day when [he will judge] those who are proud, every one of them [DOU], and he will humble them.
13 Y sobre todos los cedros del Líbano, altos y sublimes; y sobre todos los alcornoques de Basán;
[He will get rid of all those who think they should be admired like] [MET] the tall cedar trees in Lebanon, and [like] all the great oak trees in the Bashan [region].
14 Y sobre todos los montes altos, y sobre todos los collados levantados;
He will [get rid of all those who think they are as great as] [MET] all the high hills and even the high mountains.
15 Y sobre toda torre alta, y sobre todo muro fuerte;
He will [get rid of all those who think that they are] high towers and high strong walls [inside of or behind which they will be safe].
16 Y sobre todas las naves de Társis; y sobre todas pinturas preciadas.
He will destroy all [those who are rich because they own] big ships that carry goods [to other countries] and [they own other] beautiful ships.
17 Y la altivez del hombre será abajada, y la soberbia de los hombres será abatida; y Jehová solo será ensalzado en aquel día.
He will cause people to no longer be arrogant and he will cause them to stop being proud. Only Yahweh will be praised/honored on that day.
18 Y quitará totalmente los ídolos;
All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
19 Y meterse han en las cavernas de las peñas, y en las aberturas de la tierra de la presencia espantosa de Jehová, y del resplandor de su majestad, cuando él se levantará para herir la tierra.
When Yahweh comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth, they will run to hide in caves in rock cliffs and in holes/pits in the ground, because of being afraid of Yahweh and of his glorious and awesome power.
20 Aquel día el hombre arrojará en las cuevas, de los topos, y de los murciélagos, sus ídolos de plata, y sus ídolos de oro, que le hicieron para que adorase.
On that day, people will get rid of all their gold and silver idols that they made to worship, and they will throw them to the bats and rats.
21 Y meterse han en las hendeduras de las piedras, y en las cavernas de las peñas delante de la presencia temerosa de Jehová, y del resplandor de su majestad, cuando se levantará para herir la tierra.
Then they will crawl into caves and hide in the crags in the cliffs. [They will do that to escape from] the dreadful [punishments] that Yahweh will cause them to endure, from [what he will do because] he is glorious and awesome, when he comes to shake/terrify the people on the earth.
22 Dejáos, pues, del hombre, cuyo espíritu está en su nariz; porque, ¿de qué es estimado él?
[So, ] do not trust that people [will save you], because people are [as powerless as] [MET] their own breath. People certainly cannot help you [RHQ]!
