Is. 26:21 – 27:9
Is 26:21 – 27:9
Porque el Señor sale de su morada dispuesto a castigar la culpa de todos los habitantes del país: la tierra descubrirá su sangre y ya no ocultará a sus muertos. Aquel día castigará el Señor con su espada grande, sólida y fuerte, a Leviatán, serpiente huidiza, a Leviatán, serpiente tortuosa; matará al dragón que mora en el mar. Aquel día canten a la Viña deliciosa: Yo, el Señor, soy su guardián. La riego de vez en cuando para que no le falten hojas. De noche y de día la guardo. —Ya no tengo muralla. ¿Quién me ha convertido en espinos y abrojos? —Yo les haré guerra y los pisotearé, los quemaré todos a una; o que se acojan a mi amparo, que hagan la paz conmigo, que conmigo hagan la paz. En días venideros arraigará Jacob, echará Israel flores y frutos, sus productos llenarán la tierra. ¿Acaso le ha herido como hirió a quien le hería?; ¿acaso lo ha matado como mata a los que lo matan? Te querellaste con ella, la echaste, la despediste; la echó con su aliento áspero, como un día con viento del Este. Con esto sería expiada la culpa de Jacob, y éste sería el precio de borrar su pecado: dejar todas las piedras del altar como piedras de cal desmenuzadas. No se erigirán cipos ni estelas del sol. [BJ-SAOGM]
For behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from His holy place upon the inhabitants of the earth, and the earth will uncover its blood and will not cover its slain. In that day, God will bring His holy, great, and strong sword upon the fleeing dragon serpent, the perverse dragon serpent that flees; and He shall destroy the dragon. In that day, there shall be a beautiful vineyard, and a desire to begin a hymn against a city: “I am a strong city, a besieged city; I water it in vain; for it shall be taken at night, and its wall shall fall by day. There is no woman who has not taken hold of it. Who will appoint me to guard straw in a field? I rejected it because of this enemy. For that very reason therefore, the Lord God did all the things He ordered. I am burned down.” Those who dwell in it will cry out, “Let us make peace with Him, let us make peace.” Those who come are the children of Jacob. Israel shall bud and put forth flowers, and the inhabited earth shall be filled with its fruit. As he struck, shall he not be thus struck? As he slew, shall he not be thus slain? Fighting and denouncing he shall send them away. Did you not think with a harsh spirit about killing them in a spirit of anger? Therefore the lawlessness of Jacob will be removed; and this is his blessing when I take away his sin, when they make all the stones of the altars beaten like fine dust. Their trees do not remain, and their idols shall be cut down like a distant forest. [SAAS]

Gn. 9:18-29, 10:1
Gn 9:18 – 29, 10:1
Los hijos de Noé que salieron del arca eran Sem, Cam y Jafet. Cam es el padre de Canaán. Estos tres fueron los hijos de Noé, y a partir de ellos se pobló toda la tierra. Noé se dedicó a la labranza y plantó una viña. Bebió del vino, se embriagó y quedó desnudo en medio de su tienda. Vio Cam, padre de Canaán, completamente desnudo a su padre y avisó a sus dos hermanos, que estaban afuera. Entonces Sem y Jafet tomaron el manto, se lo echaron por los hombros y, andando hacia atrás, vueltas las caras, cubrieron el cuerpo desnudo de su padre, sin mirarlo. Cuando despertó Noé de su embriaguez y supo lo que había hecho con él su hijo menor, dijo: «¡Maldito sea Canaán! ¡Siervo de siervos sea para sus hermanos!» Y añadió: «¡Bendito sea el Señor, el Dios de Sem, y sea Canaán esclavo suyo! ¡Haga Dios dilatado a Jafet; habite en las tiendas de Sem, y sea Canaán esclavo suyo!» Vivió Noé después del diluvio trescientos cincuenta años. Cuando Noé murio, tenía novecientos cincuenta años. Ésta es la descendencia de los hijos de Noé, Sem, Cam y Jafet, a quienes les nacieron hijos después del diluvio. [BJ-SAOGM]
Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated. Then Noah began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard. So he drank of the wine and was drunk and naked in his house. Now Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walking backwards they covered their father’s nakedness. Since their faces were turned away, they did not see his nakedness. Thus when Noah became sober and knew what his younger son had done to him, he said: “Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.” He also said, “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant. May God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant as well.” Now Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood. So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died. Now this is the genealogy of Noah’s sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and sons were born to them after the flood. [SAAS]

Pr. 12:23-28, 13:1-10
Pr 12:25 – 31, 13:1 – 10
El hombre prudente disimula su saber, la mente insensata pregona su necedad. La mano laboriosa dominará, la perezosa trabajará a la fuerza. La angustia deprime al hombre, una palabra amable lo pone alegre. El justo sirve de guía a su prójimo, al malvado lo extravía su camino. El perezoso no pone a asar su caza, la diligencia es la mejor riqueza del hombre. En la senda de la justicia está la vida, el camino de la impiedad lleva a la muerte. El hijo sabio acepta la corrección paterna, el arrogante no hace caso a reprimendas. Cada uno bien se nutre del fruto de su boca, los traidores se alimentan de violencia. Quien controla su boca, protege su vida; quien abre sus labios, se busca la ruina. El perezoso apetece y su deseo no se cumple, el deseo del diligente queda satisfecho. El justo aborrece la palabra engañosa, el malvado se enemista y deshonra. La justicia protege al hombre íntegro, la maldad arruina al pecador. Hay quien presume de rico y no tiene nada; hay quien pasa por pobre y tiene gran fortuna. La riqueza resguarda la vida del hombre, el pobre no hace caso a la amenaza. La luz de los justos luce alegre, la lámpara del malvado se apaga. La insolencia sólo provoca peleas, la sabiduría acompaña a los que aceptan consejo. [BJ-SAOGM]
A man of understanding is a throne of perception, but the heart of the undiscerning will meet with curses. The hand of the chosen shall prevail easily, but the deceitful shall be for captivity. A fearful word troubles the heart of a righteous man, but a good message makes him glad. A righteous arbiter shall be his own friend, but the decisions of the ungodly are unreasonable. Evil things shall pursue sinners, and the way of the ungodly will lead them astray. A deceitful man will not gain his prey, but a pure man is a precious possession. In the ways of righteousness there is life, but the ways of remembering wrongs are unto death. An astute son is obedient to his father, but a disobedient son is for destruction. A good man eats from the fruits of righteousness, but the souls of the lawless will destroy themselves before their time. He who guards his mouth keeps his own soul, but he who is hasty with his lips will dismay himself. Every idle man has desire, but the hands of the courageous are diligent. A righteous man hates an unrighteous word, but an ungodly man is ashamed and will not have confidence. Righteousness guards the simple, but sin makes the ungodly worthless. There are those with nothing who make themselves rich, and there are those, though very rich, who humble themselves. The ransom of a man’s soul is his own wealth, but the poor man does not withstand a threat. Light is with the righteous continually, but the light of the ungodly is extinguished. Deceitful souls are led astray in sins, but the righteous have compassion and are merciful. [SAAS]
