1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in their abundance of chariots and in their multitude of horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel; they do not seek the LORD.
1 ¡AY de los que descienden á Egipto por ayuda, y confían en caballos; y su esperanza ponen en carros, porque son muchos, y en caballeros, porque son valientes; y no miraron al Santo de Israel, ni buscaron á Jehová!
2 Yet He too is wise and brings disaster; He does not call back His words. He will rise up against the house of the wicked and against the allies of evildoers.
2 Mas él también es sabio, y traerá el mal, y no retirará sus palabras. Levantaráse pues contra la casa de los malignos, y contra el auxilio de los obradores de iniquidad.
3 But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, the helper will stumble, and the one he helps will fall; both will perish together.
3 Y los Egipcios hombres son, y no Dios; y sus caballos carne, y no espíritu: de manera que en extendiendo Jehová su mano, caerá el ayudador, y caerá el ayudado, y todos ellos desfallecerán á una.
4 For this is what the LORD has said to me: “Like a lion roaring or a young lion over its prey—and though a band of shepherds is called out against it, it is not terrified by their shouting or subdued by their clamor—so the LORD of Hosts will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and its heights.
4 Porque Jehová me dijo á mí de esta manera: Como el león y el cachorro del león brama sobre su presa, y si se llega contra él cuadrilla de pastores, no temerá por sus voces, ni se acobardará por el tropel de ellos: así Jehová de los ejércitos descenderá á pelear por el monte de Sión, y por su collado.
5 Like birds hovering overhead, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will shield it and deliver it; He will pass over it and preserve it.”
5 Como las aves que vuelan, así amparará Jehová de los ejércitos á Jerusalem, amparando, librando, pasando, y salvando.
6 Return to the One against whom you have so blatantly rebelled, O children of Israel.
6 Convertíos á aquel contra quien los hijos de Israel profundamente se rebelaron.
7 For on that day, every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold that your own hands have sinfully made.
7 Porque en aquel día arrojará el hombre sus ídolos de plata, y sus ídolos de oro, que para vosotros han hecho vuestras manos pecadoras.
8 “Then Assyria will fall, but not by the sword of man; a sword will devour them, but not one made by mortals. They will flee before the sword, and their young men will be put to forced labor.
8 Entonces caerá el Assur por cuhillo, no de varón; y consumirálo espada, no de hombre; y huirá de la presencia de la espada, y sus mancebos serán tributarios.
9 Their rock will pass away for fear, and their princes will panic at the sight of the battle standard,” declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
9 Y de miedo pasará su fortaleza, y sus príncipes tendrán pavor de la bandera, dice Jehová, cuyo fuego está en Sión, y su horno en Jerusalem.
