Isaías 2
1 La palabra que Isaías, hijo de Amoz, vio acerca de Judá y Jerusalén.
This is the message that [Yahweh showed me in a vision], concerning Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea:
2 Y acontecerá en los últimos días, que la montaña del Señor se colocará en la cima de las montañas, y se levantará sobre las colinas; y todas las naciones vendrán a él.
[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 los pueblos dirán: Vengan, subamos al monte del Señor, a la casa del Dios de Jacob, y él nos dará a conocer sus caminos, y seremos guiados por su palabra; porque de Sión saldrá la enseñanza, y la palabra del Señor de Jerusalén.
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 él será el juez entre las naciones, y hará decisiones por muchos pueblos; y sus espadas se convertirán en hojas de arado, y sus lanzas en cuchillos de vid: ya no se volverán las naciones sus espadas una contra la otra, y el conocimiento de la guerra se habrá ido para siempre.
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 Oh familia de Jacob, ven y vamos a la luz del Señor.
You Israeli people, let’s walk in the light [MET] that comes from Yahweh!
6 Porque tú, Señor, has abandonado a tu pueblo, la familia de Jacob, porque están llenos de los caminos malvados del este, y hacen uso de artes secretas como los filisteos, y son amigos de los hijos de países extranjeros.
[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 Y su tierra está llena de plata y oro, y sus almacenes no tienen fin; su tierra está llena de caballos, y sus carros no tienen fin.
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 Su tierra está llena de imágenes. Dan culto a la obra de sus manos, incluso a lo que sus dedos han hecho.
[But] the land is [also] full of idols; the people worship things that they have made with their own hands.
9 Y la cabeza del hombre pobre está inclinada, y el gran hombre cae sobre su rostro; por esta causa no habrá perdón por su pecado.
So now they will be humbled and they will be caused to become disgraced— Yahweh, do not forgive them!
10 Entra en una cueva en la roca, cubriéndose de polvo, con temor del Señor, ante la gloria de su poder.
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 Las miradas del hombre serán avergonzadas, y el orgullo de los hombres será humillado, y solo el Señor será levantado en ese 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 vendrá el día del Señor de los ejércitos sobre todo hombre soberbio y altivo y sobre todos los que se han ensalzado serán humillados;
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 en todos los árboles altos del Líbano, y en todos los árboles fuertes 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 en todos los montes altos, y en todos los cerros que se alzan;
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 en toda torre alta, y en 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 en todos los barcos de Tarsis, y en todas las 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 las miradas de los hombres serán avergonzadas, y el orgullo de los hombres será humillado; y solo el Señor será levantado en ese 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 las imágenes nunca más serán vistas.
All idols will (disappear/be destroyed).
19 Y los hombres irán a las grietas de las rocas y a los agujeros de la tierra, por temor al Señor, y ante la gloria de su poder, cuando salga de su lugar, sacudiendo la tierra con su fuerza.
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 En ese día los hombres pondrán sus imágenes de plata y oro, que hicieron para la adoración, en la custodia de las bestias de los lugares oscuros;
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 Para cubrirse en las grietas de las rocas y en los hoyos de las colinas, por temor al Señor, y ante la gloria de su poder, cuando él sale de su lugar, sacudiendo la tierra con su fuerza.
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 No tenga más que ver con el hombre, cuya vida es solo un aliento, porque no tiene valor.
[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]!
