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.

Oráculo contra Damasco e Israel
17 Oráculo contra Damasco:
2 Damasco desaparecerá como ciudad
convertida en montones de ruinas;
las villas de Aroer abandonadas
sólo servirán para que se tumbe el ganado,
sin que nadie lo espante.
3 Efraín quedará sin plazas fuertes,
se acabará el poderío de Damasco;
a los que queden de Aram les pasará
lo mismo que a los nobles de Israel
—oráculo del Señor del universo—.
Oráculos varios
4 Aquel día
se debilitará el poder de Jacob,
su carne rolliza se consumirá;
5 será como el haz que abraza el segador,
como las espigas que recoge su brazo,
como quien pasa espigando
por el valle de Refaín.
6 Quedará sólo el rebusco,
como quien varea el olivo
y encuentra un par de aceitunas
en lo alto de la copa,
y pocas más en sus ramas.
—Oráculo del Señor Dios de Israel—.
7 Aquel día
mirará la gente a su Hacedor,
fijará su mirada en el Santo de Israel.
8 No mirará los altares,
obra de sus manos y hechura de sus dedos;
no se fijará en cipos ni estelas.
9 Aquel día
tus ciudades fortificadas
quedarán abandonadas,
como las de heveos y amorreos
ante el ataque israelita;
quedarán deshabitadas.
10 Pues olvidaste a tu Dios salvador,
no te acordaste de tu Roca inexpugnable.
Y plantabas parterres exóticos,
injertabas esquejes importados.
11 El mismo día los plantabas y crecían,
de mañana germinaba la semilla.
Pero un día aciago se pierde la cosecha:
¡un sufrimiento irremediable!
Los atacantes aniquilados
12 ¡Ay, turbulencia de pueblos que retumban,
que braman como braman los mares!
¡Tumulto de naciones tumultuosas,
como aguas impetuosas!
13 Naciones que se agitan
como aguas caudalosas.
Pero grita amenazante
y se escapan desde lejos,
como tamo de los montes
impelido por el viento,
como nube de vilanos
a merced del vendaval.
14 Por la tarde se presenta el espanto:
nadie queda al llegar la mañana.
Esto les queda a quienes nos saquean,
este es el lote de quienes nos despojan.

Isaiah 17
King James Version
17 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel.
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
