Isaías 14

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Cuando se compadezca Yahveh de Jacob y prefiera todavía a Israel, los afincará en el solar de ellos, y se les juntarán forasteros, que serán incorporados a la casa de Jacob.	1 Her time is drawing near, and her days will not be prolonged. For the Lord will take pity on Jacob, and he will still choose from Israel, and he will cause them to rest upon their own soil. And the new arrival will be joined to them, and he will adhere to the house of Jacob.
2 Tomarán a otros pueblos y, llevándoselos a su lugar, se los apropiará la casa de Israel sobre el solar de Yahveh como esclavos y esclavas. Harán cautivos a sus cautivadores, y dominarán sobre sus tiranos.	2 And the people will take them, and lead them to their place. And the house of Israel will possess them, in the land of the Lord, as men and women servants. And they will take captive those who had taken them captive. And they will subjugate their oppressors.
3 Entonces, cuando te haya calmado Yahveh de tu disgusto y tu desazón y de la dura servidumbre a que fuiste sometido,	3 And this shall be in that day: when God will have given you rest from your labor, and from your oppression, and from the difficult servitude under which you served before,
4 dirigirás esta sátira al rey de Babilonia. Dirás: ¡Cómo ha acabado el tirano, cómo ha cesado su arrogancia!	4 you will accept this parable against the king of Babylon, and you will say: “How is it that the oppressor has ceased, along with his tribute?
5 Ha quebrado Yahveh la vara de los malvados, el bastón de los déspotas,	5 The Lord has crushed the staff of the impious, the scepter of despots,
6 que golpeaba a los pueblos con saña golpes sin parar, que dominaba con ira a las naciones acosándolas sin tregua.	6 which struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, which subjugated the nations in fury, which persecuted with cruelty.
7 Está tranquila y quieta la tierra toda, prorrumpe en aclamaciones.	7 All the earth has become quiet and still; it has been gladdened and has rejoiced.
8 Hasta los cipreses se alegran por ti, los cedros del Líbano: «Desde que tú has caído en paz, no sube el talador a nosotros».	8 The evergreens, too, have rejoiced over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying: ‘Since you have slept, no one has ascended who would cut us down.’
9 El seol, allá abajo, se estremeció por ti saliéndote al encuentro; por ti despierta a las sombras, a todos los jerifaltes de la tierra; hace levantarse de sus tronos a los reyes de todas las naciones.	9 Hell below was stirred up to meet you at your advent; it has awakened the giants for you. All the leaders of the earth have risen from their thrones, all the leaders among the nations.”
10 Todos ellos responden y te dicen: «¡También tú te has vuelto débil como nosotros, y a nosotros eres semejante!	10 Everyone will respond and will say to you: “Now you are wounded, just as we were; you have become like us.
11 Ha sido precipitada al seol tu arrogancia al son de tus cítaras. Tienes bajo ti una cama de gusanos, tus mantas son gusanera.	11 Your arrogance has been dragged down to Hell. Your body has fallen dead. The moths will be strewn beneath you, and the worms will be your covering.
12 ¡Cómo has caído de los cielos, Lucero, hijo de la Aurora! ¡Has sido abatido a tierra, dominador de naciones!	12 How is it that you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who used to rise like the sun? How is it that you have fallen to the earth, you who wounded the peoples?
13 Tú que habías dicho en tu corazón: «Al cielo voy a subir, por encima de las estrellas de Dios alzaré mi trono, y me sentaré en el Monte de la Reunión, en el extremo norte.	13 And you said in your heart: ‘I will climb up to heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will be enthroned upon the mountain of the covenant, on the northern parts.
14 Subiré a las alturas del nublado, me asemejaré al Altísimo.	14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.’
15 ¡Ya!: al seol has sido precipitado, a lo más hondo del pozo».	15 Yet truly, you shall be dragged down to Hell, into the depths of the pit.
16 Los que te ven, en ti se fijan; te miran con atención: «¿Ese es aquél, el que hacía estremecer la tierra, el que hacía temblar los reinos,	16 Those who see you, will lean toward you, and will gaze upon you, saying: ‘Could this be the man who disturbed the earth, who shook kingdoms,
17 el que puso el orbe como un desierto, y asoló sus ciudades, el que a sus prisioneros no abría la cárcel?»	17 who made the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who would not even open a prison for his prisoners?’ ”
18 Todos los reyes de las naciones, todos ellos yacen con honor, cada uno en su morada.	18 All the kings of the nations throughout the whole world have slept in glory, each man in his own house.
19 Pero tú has sido arrojado fuera de tu sepulcro, como un brote abominable, recubierto de muertos acuchillados, arrojados sobre las piedras de la fosa, como cadáver pisoteado.	19 But you have been rejected from your grave, like a useless polluted plant, and you have been bound up with those who were slain by the sword, and who descended to the bottom of the pit, like a rotting carcass.
20 No tendrás con ellos sepultura, porque tu tierra has destruido, a tu pueblo has asesinado. No se nombrará jamás la descendencia de los malhechores.	20 You will not be associated with them, even in the grave. For you have destroyed your own land; you have slain your own people. The offspring of the wicked ones will not be called upon for eternity.
21 Preparad a sus hijos degollina por la culpa de sus padres: no sea que se levanten y se apoderen de la tierra, y llenen de ciudades la haz del orbe.	21 Prepare his sons for the slaughter, according to the iniquity of their fathers. They will not rise up, nor inherit the earth, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 Yo me alzaré contra ellos - oráculo de Yahveh Sebaot - y suprimiré en Babilonia el nombre y resto, hijos y nietos - oráculo de Yahveh.	22 But I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts. And I will perish the name of Babylon and its remnants: both the plant and its progeny, says the Lord.
23 La convertiré en patrimonio de erizos y tierra pantanosa, la barreré con escoba exterminadora - oráculo de Yahveh Sebaot.	23 And I will appoint it as a possession for the hedgehog, with swamps of water. And I will sweep it out and wear it away with a brush, says the Lord of hosts.
24 Ha jurado Yahveh Sebaot diciendo: «Tal como lo había ideado, así fue. Y como lo planeé, así se cumplirá:	24 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying: Surely, just as I have considered it, so shall it be, and in the same manner as I have drawn it through my mind,
25 Quebrantaré a Asur en mi tierra, sobre mis montes le pisotearé. Se apartará su yugo de sobre ellos, su fardo de sobre sus hombros se apartará».	25 so shall it occur. So shall I crush the Assyrian in my land, and I will trample him upon my mountains, and his yoke will be taken away from them, and his burden will be removed from their shoulder.
26 Este es el plan tocante a toda la tierra, y ésta la mano extendida sobre las naciones.	26 This is the plan that I have decided, concerning the entire earth, and this is the hand which is extended over all the nations.
27 Si Yahveh Sebaot toma una decisión, ¿quién la frustrará? Si él extiende su mano, ¿quién se la hará retirar?	27 For the Lord of hosts has decreed it, and who is able to weaken it? And his hand is extended, so who can avert it?
28 El año en que murió el rey Ajaz hubo esta oráculo:	28 In the year in which king Ahaz died, this burden was given:
29 No te alegres, Filistea toda, porque se haya quebrado la vara del que te hería; pues de raíz de culebra saldrá víbora, y su fruto será dragón volador.	29 You should not rejoice, all you of Philistia, that the rod of him who struck you has been crushed. For from the root of the serpent will go forth a king snake, and his offspring will engulf that which flies.
30 Los débiles pacerán en mis pastos y los pobres en seguro se acostarán, mientras que haré morir de hambre tu posteridad, y mataré lo que de ti reste	30 And the firstborn of the poor will be pastured, and the poor will rest in faithfulness. And I will cause your root to pass away by famine, and I will put to death your remnant.
31 ¡Ulula, puerta! ¡grita, ciudad! ¡derrítete, Filistea toda, que del norte una humareda viene, y nadie deserta en sus columnas!	31 Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! All of Philistia has been prostrated. For a smoke will arrive from the north, and there is no one who will escape his army.
32 ¿Y qué se responderá a los mensajeros de esa gente?: «Que Yahveh fundó a Sión, y en ella se refugiarán los pobres de su pueblo».	32 And what will be the response to this news among the nations? It will be that the Lord has established Zion, and that the poor of his people will hope in him.
