Isaías 17
La Biblia de las Américas
Profecía sobre Damasco
17 Profecía sobre[a] Damasco(A).
He aquí, Damasco dejará de ser ciudad(B),
y vendrá a ser un montón de ruinas(C).
2 Abandonadas están las ciudades de Aroer[b](D);
serán para los rebaños, para que se echen[c] en ellas(E),
y no habrá quien los espante(F).
3 Desaparecerá la fortaleza de Efraín
y la soberanía[d] de Damasco(G),
y el resto de Aram
vendrá a ser como la gloria de los hijos de Israel(H)
—declara el Señor de los ejércitos.
Juicio sobre Israel
4 Acontecerá en aquel día que la gloria de Jacob menguará(I),
y enflaquecerá la gordura de su carne(J).
5 Será como cuando el segador recoge la mies[e](K),
y su brazo cosecha las espigas;
o será como el que recoge espigas
en el valle de Refaim(L).
6 Pero quedarán en él rebuscos como cuando se varea el olivo(M):
dos o tres aceitunas en la rama más alta,
cuatro o cinco en las ramas de un árbol fructífero
—declara el Señor, Dios de Israel.
7 Aquel día el hombre tendrá en estima a su Hacedor,
y sus ojos mirarán al Santo de Israel(N).
8 Y no tendrá en estima los altares(O), obra de sus manos,
ni mirará a lo que sus dedos hicieron(P):
las Aseras[f] y los altares de incienso[g](Q).
9 Aquel día sus[h] ciudades fuertes serán como lugares
abandonados en el bosque,
o como ramas[i] que fueron abandonadas[j] delante de los hijos de Israel;
la tierra será una desolación.
10 Porque te olvidaste(R) del Dios de tu salvación(S)
y no te acordaste de la roca(T) de tu refugio.
Por tanto, siembras plantas deleitosas
y les injertas[k] sarmientos de un dios extraño.
11 El día que las plantes las cercarás con cuidado,
y por la mañana harás que florezca tu semilla(U);
pero la cosecha será un montón inservible
en el día de enfermedad y de dolor incurable(V).
12 ¡Ay!, bramar de muchos pueblos
que braman como el bramido de los mares(W);
rugir de naciones
que rugen como el rugido de violentas aguas(X).
13 Las naciones rugen como el rugido de muchas aguas(Y),
pero Él las reprenderá(Z) y huirán lejos;
serán perseguidas como el tamo de los montes delante del viento,
y como polvo de torbellino delante del vendaval(AA).
14 Al tiempo de la tarde, he aquí, hay terror.
Antes de la mañana ya no existen(AB).
Tal[l] será la porción de los que nos despojan,
y la suerte de los que nos saquean.

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
关于大马士革的预言
17 以下是关于大马士革的预言:
“看啊,大马士革城必不复存在,沦为废墟。
2 亚罗珥的众城邑必被废弃,
羊群将在那里栖息,
没有人惊扰它们。
3 以法莲[a]的堡垒必被摧毁,
大马士革的王权必丧失。
幸存的亚兰人必像以色列人一样失去荣耀。”
这是万军之耶和华说的。
4 “到那日,雅各的荣耀必消失,
他肥胖的身躯必渐渐消瘦。
5 国家好像一块已收割的田地,
又像捡净麦穗的利乏音谷。
6 幸存者寥寥无几,就像打过的橄榄树上剩下的果子,
或两三个挂在树梢,
或四五个残存在枝头。”
这是以色列的上帝耶和华说的。
7 到那日,人们必仰望他们的创造主,向以色列的圣者求助。 8 那时他们不再仰望自己制造的祭坛,也不再供奉自己指头所造的亚舍拉神像和香坛。 9 到那日,他们因以色列人到来而遗弃的坚城必变为山林和高岗,一片荒凉。
10 以色列人啊,
你们忘记了拯救你们的上帝,
不记得那保护你们的磐石。
所以,你们虽然栽种佳美的秧子,
插上远方运来的树苗,
11 使它们在栽种的当天早上就生长开花,
也必一无所获。
你们得到的只是艰难和无尽的痛苦。
12 看啊,列国喧嚣,如怒海汹涌;
万民骚动,如洪水滔滔。
13 虽然万民喧嚣如汹涌的洪水,
但上帝一声斥责,他们便逃往远方,
像山顶上被风卷走的糠秕,
又如狂风刮走的尘埃。
14 他们晚上令人恐惧,早晨已无影无踪。这就是掳掠我们之人的下场,抢夺我们之人的报应。

Isaiah 17
Contemporary English Version
Damascus Will Be Punished
17 (A) This is a message about Damascus:
Damascus is doomed!
It will end up in ruins.
2 The villages around Aroer[a]
will be deserted,
with only sheep living there
and no one to bother them.
3 Israel[b] will lose its fortresses.
The kingdom of Damascus
will be destroyed;
its survivors will suffer
the same fate as Israel.
The Lord All-Powerful
has promised this.
Sin and Suffering
4 When that time comes,
the glorious nation of Israel
will be brought down;
its prosperous people
will be skin and bones.
5 Israel will be like wheat fields
in Rephaim Valley
picked clean of grain.
6 It will be like an olive tree
beaten with a stick,
leaving two or three olives
or maybe four or five
on the highest
or most fruitful branches.
The Lord God of Israel
has promised this.
7 At that time the people will turn and trust their Creator, the holy God of Israel. 8 They have built altars and places for burning incense to their goddess Asherah, and they have set up sacred poles[c] for her. But they will stop worshiping at these places.
9 Israel captured powerful cities and chased out the people who lived there. But these cities will lie in ruins, covered over with weeds and underbrush.[d]
10 Israel, you have forgotten
the God who saves you,
the one who is the mighty rock[e]
where you find protection.
You plant the finest flowers
to honor a foreign god.
11 The plants may sprout
and blossom
that very same morning,
but it will do you no good,
because you will suffer
endless agony.
God Defends His People
12 The nations are a noisy,
thunderous sea.
13 But even if they roar
like a fearsome flood,
God will give the command
to turn them back.
They will be like dust,
or like a tumbleweed
blowing across the hills
in a windstorm.
14 In the evening
their attack is fierce,
but by morning
they are destroyed.
This is what happens to those
who raid and rob us.

Isaiah 17
New International Version
A Prophecy Against Damascus
17 A prophecy(A) against Damascus:(B)
“See, Damascus will no longer be a city
but will become a heap of ruins.(C)
2 The cities of Aroer(D) will be deserted
and left to flocks,(E) which will lie down,(F)
with no one to make them afraid.(G)
3 The fortified(H) city will disappear from Ephraim,
and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
like the glory(I) of the Israelites,”(J)
declares the Lord Almighty.
4 “In that day(K) the glory(L) of Jacob will fade;
the fat of his body will waste(M) away.
5 It will be as when reapers harvest the standing grain,
gathering(N) the grain in their arms—
as when someone gleans heads of grain(O)
in the Valley of Rephaim.(P)
6 Yet some gleanings will remain,(Q)
as when an olive tree is beaten,(R)
leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches,
four or five on the fruitful boughs,”
declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
7 In that day(S) people will look(T) to their Maker(U)
and turn their eyes to the Holy One(V) of Israel.
8 They will not look to the altars,(W)
the work of their hands,(X)
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles[a](Y)
and the incense altars their fingers(Z) have made.
9 In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth.(AA) And all will be desolation.
10 You have forgotten(AB) God your Savior;(AC)
you have not remembered the Rock,(AD) your fortress.(AE)
Therefore, though you set out the finest plants
and plant imported vines,(AF)
11 though on the day you set them out, you make them grow,
and on the morning(AG) when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest(AH) will be as nothing(AI)
in the day of disease and incurable(AJ) pain.(AK)
12 Woe to the many nations that rage(AL)—
they rage like the raging sea!(AM)
Woe to the peoples who roar(AN)—
they roar like the roaring of great waters!(AO)
13 Although the peoples roar(AP) like the roar of surging waters,
when he rebukes(AQ) them they flee(AR) far away,
driven before the wind like chaff(AS) on the hills,
like tumbleweed before a gale.(AT)
14 In the evening, sudden(AU) terror!(AV)
Before the morning, they are gone!(AW)
This is the portion of those who loot us,
the lot of those who plunder us.
