Isaías 14
1Porque Yahvé tendrá compasión de Jacob, y escogerá otra vez a Israel; y les dará descanso en su propia tierra. Se juntarán con ellos los extranjeros, y se incorporarán a la casa de Jacob. 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.2Los pueblos los tomarán y los llevarán a su propio lugar; y la casa de Jacob los poseerá por siervos y siervas en la tierra de Yahvé. Así tomarán cautivos a aquellos que los habían cautivado, y dominarán a sus opresores. 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.3El día que Yahvé te dé descanso de tus penas y de tu angustia y de la dura servidumbre a la cual estuviste sujeto, 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,4cantarás este canto sobre el rey de Babilonia, y dirás: “¡Cómo se acabó el opresor! ¡Cómo terminó la opresión! 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?5Yahvé ha hecho pedazos la vara de los impíos, el cetro del dominador, The Lord has crushed the staff of the impious, the scepter of despots,6el cual azotaba a los pueblos con furor, hiriéndolos sin cesar, y en su saña tiranizaba a las naciones persiguiéndolas sin piedad. which struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, which subjugated the nations in fury, which persecuted with cruelty.7Ahora descansa y está en paz toda la tierra y prorrumpe en cantos de alegría. All the earth has become quiet and still; it has been gladdened and has rejoiced.8Aun los cipreses se regocijan a causa de ti, y los cedros del Líbano (dicen): «Desde que tú dormiste, nadie sube ya a cortarnos». 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.’9El scheol se conmueve en sus profundidades, a causa de ti, para salir a tu encuentro, y por ti despierta él a las sombras de los gigantes, a todos los poderosos de la tierra; hace que se levanten de sus tronos todos los reyes de las naciones. 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.”10Todos ellos te dirigirán la palabra y te dirán: «¿También tú te debilitaste como nosotros? ¿A nosotros te has asemejado?» Everyone will respond and will say to you: “Now you are wounded, just as we were; you have become like us.11Ha bajado al scheol tu gloria al son de tus arpas, tendrás por cama la podredumbre, y los gusanos por cubierta. 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¡Como caíste del cielo, astro brillante, hijo de la aurora! ¡Cómo fuiste echado por tierra, tú, el destructor de las naciones! 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?13Tú que dijiste en tu corazón: «Al cielo subiré; sobre las estrellas de Dios levantaré mi trono; me sentaré en el Monte de la Asamblea, en lo más recóndito del Septentrión; 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.14subiré a las alturas de las nubes; seré como el Altísimo». I will ascend above the tops of the clouds. I will be like the Most High.’15Pero ahora has sido precipitado al scheol, a lo más profundo del pozo. Yet truly, you shall be dragged down to Hell, into the depths of the pit.16Los que te ven fijan en ti la mirada y contemplándote con atención (dicen): «¿Es este el varón que sacudió la tierra e hizo temblar los reinos, 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,17que convirtió el mundo en un desierto y devastó sus ciudades; que no abrió (la cárcel) a sus prisioneros? who made the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who would not even open a prison for his prisoners?’ ”18Todos los reyes de las naciones, todos descansan con honor, cada cual en su propia morada, All the kings of the nations throughout the whole world have slept in glory, each man in his own house.19pero tú has sido arrojado lejos de tu sepulcro, como un retoño inútil, cual cadáver pisoteado y cubierto de muertos. Hasta los traspasados a espada bajan a sepulcros de piedra. 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.20Pero tú no tendrás con ellos sepultura; porque has arruinado tu tierra, has destruido a tu pueblo. No se hablará ya jamás de la raza de los malhechores. 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.21Preparaos a dar muerte a sus hijos, por la culpa de sus padres; no se levanten para heredar la tierra, ni llenen con ciudades la superficie del orbe».” 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 Yahvé de los ejércitos— y cortaré de Babilonia nombre y resto, germen y retoño —oráculo de Yahvé—. 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.23La convertiré en morada de erizos, en aguas fangosas, y la barreré con la escoba de la destrucción —oráculo de Yahvé de los ejércitos. 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.24Yahvé de los ejércitos ha jurado diciendo: “Como lo he pensado, así será; como lo tengo proyectado, así sucederá: 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,25destruiré al asirio en mi tierra, y sobre mis montes le hollaré; será quitado su yugo de encima de (Israel), y su carga de sobre sus hombros. 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.26Este es el designio que he resuelto ejecutar en toda la tierra, y esta la mano extendida sobre todas las naciones. This is the plan that I have decided, concerning the entire earth, and this is the hand which is extended over all the nations.27Si Yahvé de los ejércitos lo ha resuelto, ¿quién podrá frustrarlo? si su mano está extendida, ¿quién osará retirarla?” 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?28El año en que murió el rey Acaz, se dio este oráculo: In the year in which king Ahaz died, this burden was given:29“No te regocijes, oh Filistea entera, porque ha sido quebrada la vara que te hirió; pues de la raíz de la serpiente, saldrá un basilisco, y su fruto será una serpiente voladora. 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.30Entonces los más pobres encontrarán su pasto, y los necesitados reposarán con seguridad; pues haré perecer de hambre tu raíz, y acabaré con lo que de ti quedare. 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¡Aúlla, puerta!, ¡grita, ciudad! trastornada esta la Filistea toda, porque del norte viene una humareda, y nadie se pierde de sus escuadrones.” 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¿Qué respuesta se da, pues, a los embajadores de las naciones? “Que Yahvé ha fundado a Sión, y que en ella se refugiarán los pobres de su pueblo.” 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.
