Isaías 10
1 ¡Ay de los que establecen leyes injustas, y determinando prescriben tiranía,
“Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
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!
Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil 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 a dónde dejaréis vuestra gloria?
And what do you do at a day of inspection? And at desolation that comes from afar? Near whom do you flee for help? And where do you leave your glory?
4 Sino se inclinarán entre los presos, y entre los muertos caerán. Ni con todo esto cesará su furor, antes todavía su mano está extendida.
It has bowed down without Me In the place of a bound one, And they fall in the place of the slain.” With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
5 Oh Assur, vara y bastón de mi furor; en su mano he puesto mi ira.
“Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
6 Le mandaré contra una gente falsa; y sobre el pueblo de mi ira le enviaré, para que quite despojos, y arrebate presa; y que lo ponga para ser hollado como lodo de las calles.
I send him against a profane nation, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
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 pocos.
And he does not think [it] so, And his heart does not reckon [it] so, For—to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations—not a few.
8 Porque él dirá: Mis príncipes ¿no son todos reyes?
For he says, Are my princes not altogether kings?
9 ¿No es Calno como Carquemis; Hamat 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 Jerusalén y Samaria;
As my hand has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
11 Como hice a Samaria y a sus ídolos, ¿no haré también así a Jerusalén y a sus ídolos?
Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”
12 Mas acontecerá que después que el Señor hubiere acabado toda su obra en el Monte de Sion, y en Jerusalén, visitaré sobre el fruto de la soberbia del corazón del rey de Asiria, y sobre la gloria de la altivez de sus ojos.
And it has come to pass, When the Lord fulfills all His work In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur, And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.
13 Porque dijo: Con la fortaleza de mi mano lo he hecho, y con mi sabiduría; porque he sido prudente; y quité los términos de los pueblos, y saqueé sus tesoros, y derribé como valientes a los que estaban sentados;
For he has said, “I have worked by the power of my hand, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And I have spoiled their chief ones, And I put down the inhabitants as a mighty one,
14 y halló mi mano como nido las riquezas de los pueblos; y como se cogen los huevos dejados, así me apoderé yo de toda la tierra; y no hubo quien moviese ala, o abriese boca y graznase.
And my hand gets to the wealth of the peoples as to a nest, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth, And there has not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.”
15 ¿Se gloriará el hacha contra el que con ella corta? ¿Se ensoberbecerá la sierra contra el que la mueve? Como si el bordón se levantase contra los que lo levantan; como si se levantase la vara, ¿no es leño?
Does the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Does the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
16 Por tanto el Señor DIOS de los ejércitos, enviará flaqueza sobre sus gordos; y debajo de su gloria encenderá encendimiento, como encendimiento de fuego.
Therefore the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Sends leanness among his fat ones, And under his glory He kindles a burning As 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 has been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it has burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.
18 La gloria de su bosque y de su campo fértil consumirá, desde el alma hasta la carne; y vendrá a ser como abanderado en derrota.
And the glory of his forest, and his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
19 Y los árboles que quedaren en su bosque, serán en número que un niño los pueda contar.
And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth writes 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; sino que se apoyarán sobre el SEÑOR, el Santo de Israel con verdad.
And it has come to pass in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add anymore to lean on its striker, And have leaned on YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 El remanente se convertirá, el remanente de Jacob, al Dios fuerte.
A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.
22 Porque si tu pueblo, oh Israel, fuere como las arenas del mar, el remanente de él se convertirá; la consumación fenecida inunda justicia.
For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
23 Por tanto, el Señor DIOS de los ejércitos, hará consumación y fenecimiento en medio de toda la tierra.
For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
24 Por tanto, el Señor DIOS de los ejércitos, dice así: Pueblo mío, morador de Sion, no temas de Assur. Con vara te herirá, y contra ti alzará su palo, por la vía de Egipto;
Therefore, thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, He strikes you with a rod, And his staff lifts up against you, in the way of Egypt.
25 mas de aquí a muy poco tiempo, se acabará el furor y mi enojo, para fenecimiento de ellos.
For yet a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
26 Y levantará el SEÑOR de los ejércitos azote contra él, como la matanza de Madián a la peña de Oreb; y alzará su vara sobre el mar, por la vía de Egipto.
And YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he has lifted it in the way 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 pudrirá delante de la unción.
And it has come to pass in that day, His burden is turned from off your shoulder, And his yoke from off your neck, And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.
28 Vino hasta Ajat, pasó hasta Migrón; en Micmas contará su ejército.
He has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
29 Pasaron el vado; se alojaron en Geba; Ramá tembló; Gabaa de Saúl huyó.
They have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 Grita en alta voz, hija de Galim; Lais haz que te oiga la pobre Anatot.
Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.
31 Madmena se alborotó; los moradores de Gebim se juntarán.
Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
32 Aún vendrá día cuando reposará en Nob; alzará su mano al Monte de la hija de Sion, al collado de Jerusalén.
Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, The hill of Jerusalem.
33 He aquí el Señor DIOS de los ejércitos, desgajará el ramo con fortaleza; y los de grande altura serán cortados, y los altos serán humillados.
Behold, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty have become low,
34 Y cortará con hierro la espesura del bosque, y el Líbano caerá con fortaleza.
And He has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
