Isaías 31
1¡Ay de los que bajan a Egipto en busca de socorro, poniendo su esperanza en caballos, confiando en la muchedumbre de los carros y en la caballería, por cuanto es muy fuerte, pero no miran al Santo de Israel, y no buscan a Yahvé! Woe to those who descend into Egypt for assistance, hoping in horses, and putting their trust in four-horse chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are exceedingly strong. And they have not believed in the Holy One of Israel, and they have not sought the Lord.2Pues Él es sabio; Él trae el mal y cumple sus palabras; Él se levantará contra la casa de los malhechores, y contra el auxilio que viene de los obradores de iniquidad. Therefore, being wise, he has permitted harm, and he has not removed his words, and he will rise up against the house of the wicked and against those who assist the workers of iniquity.3El egipcio es hombre, y no Dios, sus caballos son carne, y no espíritu; cuando Yahvé extendiere su mano, tropezará el auxiliador, y caerá el auxiliado, y todos perecerán juntos. Egypt is man, and not God. And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. And so, the Lord will reach down his hand, and the helper will fall, and the one who was being helped will fall, and they will all be consumed together.4Porque así me ha hablado Yahvé: Ruge el león y el leoncillo sobre su presa, aunque se convoca contra él una multitud de pastores, no se deja aterrar por sus gritos, ni se acobarda a causa de su muchedumbre; así descenderá Yahvé de los ejércitos para combatir en el monte Sión y en su collado. For the Lord says this to me: In the same way that a lion roars, and a young lion is over his prey, and though a multitude of shepherds may meet him, he will not dread their voice, nor be afraid of their number, so will the Lord of hosts descend in order to battle upon mount Zion and upon its hill.5Como ave que revolotea, así Yahvé de los ejércitos protegerá a Jerusalén; protegerá y librará, pasará y salvará. Like birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and freeing, passing over and saving.6¡Convertíos a Aquel de quien os habéis alejado tanto, oh hijos de Israel! Be converted to the same depth that you have drawn away, O sons of Israel.7Porque en aquel día cada uno rechazará sus ídolos de plata y sus ídolos de oro, que vuestras manos os han fabricado para pecar. For in that day, a man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you unto sin.8Y caerá el asirio al filo de la espada, mas no por mano de hombre; una espada, que no es de hombre, lo devorará; huirá delante de la espada, y sus jóvenes serán tributarios. And Assur will fall by a sword not of man, and a sword not of man will devour him. And he will not flee from the face of the sword, and his young men will be subject to a penalty.9Espantados se escaparán sus jefes, y despavoridos abandonarán sus príncipes la bandera. Oráculo de Yahvé que tiene su fuego en Sión, y su horno en Jerusalén. And his strength will pass away in terror, and his princes will flee in fear. The Lord has said it. His fire is in Zion, and his furnace is at Jerusalem.
