Isaías 10

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ¡Ay! los que decretan decretos inicuos, y los escribientes que escriben vejaciones,	1 Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
2 excluyendo del juicio a los débiles, atropellando el derecho de los míseros de mi pueblo, haciendo de las viudas su botín, y despojando a los huérfanos.	2 in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
3 Pues ¿qué haréis para el día de la cuenta y la devastación que de lontananza viene? ¿a quién acudiréis para pedir socorro? ¿dónde dejaréis vuestra gravedad?	3 What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own glory,
4 Con tal de no arrodillarse entre los prisioneros, entre los muertos caerían. Con todo eso no se ha calmado su ira, y aún sigue su mano extendida.	4 so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
5 ¡Ay, Asur, bastón de mi ira, vara que mi furor maneja!	5 Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
6 Contra gente impía voy a guiarlo, contra el pueblo de mi cólera voy a mandarlo, a saquear saqueo y pillar pillaje, y hacer que lo pateen como el lodo de las calles.	6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.
7 Pero él no se lo figura así, ni su corazón así lo estima, sino que su intención es arrasar y exterminar gentes no pocas.	7 But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.
8 Pues dice: «¿No son mis jefes todos ellos reyes?	8 For he will say:
9 ¿No es Kalnó como Karkemis? ¿No es Jamat como Arpad? ¿No es Samaría como Damasco?	9 “Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 Como alcanzó mi mano a los reinos de los ídolos - cuyas estatuas eran más que las de Jerusalén y Samaría -	10 In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
11 como hice con Samaría y sus ídolos, ¿no haré asimismo con Jerusalén y sus simulacros?»	11 Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
12 Pues bien, cuando hubiere dado remate el Señor a todas sus empresas en el monte Sión y en Jerusalén, pasará revista al fruto del engreimiento del rey de Asur y al orgullo altivo de sus ojos.	12 And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
13 Porque dijo: «Con el poder de mi mano lo hice, y con mi sabiduría, porque soy inteligente, he borrado las fronteras de los pueblos, sus almacenes he saqueado, y he abatido como un fuerte a sus habitantes.	13 For he has said: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.
14 Como un nido ha alcanzado mi mano la riqueza de los pueblos, y como se recogen huevos abandonados, he recogido yo toda la tierra, y no hubo quien aleteara ni abriera el pico ni piara».	14 And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”
15 ¿Acaso se jacta el hacha frente al que corta con ella? ¿o se tiene por más grande la sierra que el que la blande? ¡como si la vara moviera al que la levanta! ¡como si a quien no es madera el bastón alzara!	15 Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?
16 Por eso enviará Yahveh Sebaot entre sus bien comidos, enflaquecimiento, y, debajo de su opulencia, encenderá un incendio como de fuego.	16 Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.
17 La luz de Israel vendrá a ser fuego, y su Santo, llama; arderá y devorará su espino y su zarza en un solo día,	17 And the light of Israel will be like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, in one day.
18 y el esplendor de su bosque y de su vergel en alma y en cuerpo será consumido: será como el languidecer de un enfermo.	18 And the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.
19 Lo que quede de los árboles de su bosque será tan poco, que un niño los podrá contar.	19 And what remain of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.
20 Aquel día no volverán ya el resto de Israel y los bien librados de la casa de Jacob a apoyarse en el que los hiere, sino que se apoyarán con firmeza en Yahveh.	20 And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Un resto volverá, el resto de Jacob, al Dios poderoso.	21 The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.
22 Que aunque sea tu pueblo, Israel, como la arena del mar, sólo un resto de él volverá. Exterminio decidido, rebosante de justicia.	22 For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.
23 Porque es un exterminio decidido lo que Yahveh Sebaot realizará en medio de toda la tierra.	23 For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.
24 Por tanto, así dice el Señor Yahveh Sebaot: «No temas, pueblo mío que moras en Sión, a Asur que con la vara te da golpes y su bastón levanta contra ti (en el camino de Egipto).	24 For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.
25 Porque un poquito más y se habrá consumado el furor, y mi ira los consumirá».	25 But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”
26 Despertará contra él Yahveh Sebaot un azote, como cuando la derrota de Madián en la peña de Horeb, o cuando levantó su bastón contra el mar en el camino de Egipto.	26 And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.
27 Aquel día te quitará su carga de encima del hombro y su yugo de sobre tu cerviz será arrancado. Y el yugo será destruido (...)	27 And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.
28 Vino sobre Ayyat, pasó por Migrón, en Mikmás pasó revista.	28 He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.
29 Han pasado el Vado: «Haremos noche en Gueba». Temblaba Ramá, Guibeá de Saúl huía.	29 They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 ¡Da gritos de júbilo, Bat Gallim, escucha Laisa! ¡Respóndele, Anatot!	30 Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.
31 Se desbandó Madmená. Los habitantes de Guebim se han puesto a salvo.	31 Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.
32 Hoy mismo en Nob haciendo alto menea su mano contra el Monte de la hija de Sión, la colina de Jerusalén.	32 It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 He aquí que el Señor Yahveh Sebaot sacude el ramaje con estrépito; las guías más altas están partidas y las elevadas van a caer.	33 Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 Golpeará las espesuras del bosque con el hierro, y por los golpes de un Poderoso, caerá.	34 And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.
