Isaiah 16
1 And they will send ... to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
Envíad cordero al enseñoreador de la tierra, desde la piedra del desierto al Monte de la hija de Sion.
2 For the daughters of Moab will be like wandering birds, like a place from which the young birds have gone in flight, at the ways across the Arnon.
Y será que cual ave espantada que huye de su nido, así serán las hijas de Moab en los vados de Arnón.
3 Give wise directions, make a decision; let your shade be as night in full day: keep safe those who are in flight; do not give up the wandering ones.
Reúne consejo, haz juicio; pon tu sombra en el mediodía como la noche; esconde los desterrados, no descubras al huido.
4 Let those who have been forced out of Moab have a resting-place with you; be a cover to them from him who is making waste their land: till the cruel ones are cut off, and wasting has come to an end, and those who take pleasure in crushing the poor are gone from the land.
Moren contigo mis desterrados, oh Moab; séles escondedero de la presencia del destruidor; porque el atormentador fenecerá, el destruidor tendrá fin, el hollador será consumido de sobre la tierra.
5 Then a king's seat will be based on mercy, and one will be seated on it in the tent of David for ever; judging uprightly, and quick to do righteousness.
Y se dispondrá trono en misericordia; y sobre él se sentará firmemente, en el tabernáculo de David, quien juzgue, y busque el juicio, y apresure la justicia.
6 We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride and passion: his high words about himself are false.
Hemos oído la soberbia de Moab; en extremo soberbio; su soberbia, y su arrogancia, y su altivez; mas sus mentiras no serán firmes.
7 For this cause everyone in Moab will give cries of grief for Moab: crushed to the earth, they will be weeping for the men of Kir-hareseth.
Por tanto, aullará Moab, todo él aullará; gemiréis por los fundamentos de Kir-hareset, en gran manera heridos.
8 For the fields of Heshbon are waste, the vine of Sibmah is dead; the lords of nations were overcome by the produce of her vines; her vine-plants went as far as Jazer, and came even to the waste land; her branches were stretched out to the sea.
Porque las vides de Hesbón fueron taladas, y las vides de Sibma; señores de los gentiles hollaron sus generosos sarmientos; que habían llegado hasta Jazer, y se cundieron por el desierto; sus nobles plantas se extendieron; pasaron el mar.
9 For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;
Por lo cual lamentaré con lloro a Jazer de la viña de Sibma; he de embriagarte de mis lágrimas oh Hesbón y Eleale; porque sobre tus cosechas y sobre tu siega cesará la canción.
10 And all joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field; and in the vine-gardens there are no songs or sounds of joy: the crushing of grapes has come to an end, and its glad cry has been stopped.
Quitado es el gozo y la alegría del campo fértil; en las viñas no cantarán, ni se regocijarán; no pisará vino en los lagares el pisador; la canción hice cesar.
11 For this cause the cords of my heart are sounding for Moab, and I am full of sorrow for Kir-heres.
Por tanto, mis entrañas sonarán como arpa acerca de Moab; y mi interior sobre Kir-hareset.
12 And when Moab goes up to the high place, and makes prayer in the house of his god, it will have no effect.
Y acaecerá, que cuando Moab pareciere que está cansado sobre los altos, entonces vendrá a su Santuario a orar, y no podrá.
13 This is the word which the Lord said about Moab in the past.
Esta es la palabra, que pronunció el SEÑOR sobre Moab desde aquel tiempo.
14 But now the Lord has said, In three years, the years of a servant working for payment, the glory of Moab, all that great people, will be turned to shame, and the rest of Moab will be very small and without honour.
Pero ahora el SEÑOR habló, diciendo: Dentro de tres años, como cuenta los años un jornalero, será abatida la gloria de Moab, con toda su gran multitud; y sus residuos serán pocos, pequeños, y no fuertes.
