Isaías 9

EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 El pueblo que caminaba en las tinieblas ha visto una gran luz: sobre los que habitaban en el país de la oscuridad ha brillado una luz.	1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
2 Tú has multiplicado la alegría, has acrecentado el gozo; ellos se regocijan en tu presencia, como se goza en la cosecha, como cuando reina la alegría por el reparto del botín.	2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3 Porque el yugo que pesaba sobre él, la barra sobre su espalda y el palo de su carcelero, todo eso lo has destrozado como en el día de Madián.	3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 Porque todas las botas usadas en la refriega y las túnicas manchadas de sangre, serán presa de las llamas, pasto del fuego.	4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 Porque un niño nos ha nacido, un hijo nos ha sido dado. La soberanía reposa sobre sus hombros y se le da por nombre: «Consejero maravilloso, Dios fuerte, Padre para siempre, Príncipe de la paz».	5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 Su soberanía será grande, y habrá una paz sin fin para el trono de David y para su reino; él lo establecerá y lo sostendrá por el derecho y la justicia, desde ahora y para siempre. El celo del Señor de los ejércitos hará todo esto.	6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 El Señor ha enviado una palabra a Jacob. Ella caerá sobre Israel:	7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 la conocerá el pueblo entero, Efraím y los habitantes de Samaría, esos que andan diciendo con arrogancia y presunción:	8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
9 «¡Cayeron los ladrillos, pero construiremos con piedras talladas; fueron cortados los sicómoros, pero los suplantaremos con cedros!».	9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
10 El Señor suscitó contra él a sus adversarios e incitó a sus enemigos.	10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
11 Aram al este, los filisteos por detrás, y ellos devoraron a Israel a boca llena. A pesar de todo esto, no se aplacó su ira y su mano está aún extendida.	11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
12 Pero el pueblo no ha vuelto al que lo golpeaba, no ha buscado al Señor de los ejércitos.	12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 Y el Señor arrancó a Israel, en un sólo día. cabeza y cola, palmera y junco.	13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
14 –El anciano y el noble son la cabeza, el profeta, maestro de mentiras, es la cola–.	14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15 Los guías de este pueblo lo extraviaron y los que se dejaron guiar, han sido devorados.	15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
16 Por eso el Señor no perdona a sus jóvenes ni se compadece de sus huérfanos y de sus viudas, porque todo este pueblo es impío y malvado y toda boca profiere insensateces. A pesar de todo esto, no se aplacó su ira y su mano está aún extendida.	16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
17 Porque la maldad quema como el fuego, devora cardos y espinas, arde en las espesuras del bosque, y el humo se alza en torbellinos.	17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 Por el furor del Señor de los ejércitos se incendia el país, y el pueblo es como pasto del fuego. Nadie se compadece de su hermano,	18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
19 cada uno devora la carne de su prójimo: corta a la derecha, y queda con hambre; devora a la izquierda, y no se sacia.	19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
20 Manasés devora a Efraím, Efraím a Manasés, y los dos juntos acometen contra Judá. A pesar de todo esto, no se aplacó su ira y su mano está aún extendida	20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
	21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
