Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What does it mean to you, then, that each of you have even climbed to the rooftops?
Carga sobre el Valle de la Visión: ¿Qué pasa que todos ustedes subieron a las azoteas?
2 Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die in battle.
Tú, llena de bullicio, pueblo turbulento, ciudad regocijada. Tus caídos no fueron asesinados a espada, ni murieron en combate.
3 All your leaders have fled together, and they have been bound by hardship. All who were found were chained together. They have fled far away.
Todos tus comandantes huyeron juntos. Todos los tuyos fueron capturados sin arco, aunque huyeron lejos.
4 For this reason, I said: “Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation of the daughter of my people.”
Por eso dije: Déjame llorar amargamente. No se afanen en consolarme por la destrucción de la hija de mi pueblo.
5 For it is a day of death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.
Porque éste es día de alboroto, angustia y confusión de parte de ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes en el Valle de la Visión, día de derribar los muros y clamar a la montaña.
6 And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.
Elam toma la caja portátil de flechas, Siria irrumpe con carruajes y Quir saca el escudo.
7 And your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.
Tus mejores valles se llenaron de carruajes, y los jinetes acamparon frente a la puerta.
8 And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.
Fue quitada la defensa de Judá. Aquel día fijan su mirada en las armas de la Casa del Bosque.
9 And you will see breaches in the city of David, for these have been multiplied. But you have gathered together the waters of the lower fish-pool.
Ven muchas brechas en la Ciudad de David, y recogen las aguas del estanque de abajo.
10 And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order to fortify the wall.
Cuentan las casas de Jerusalén, y demuelen casas para reforzar el muro.
11 And you have made a pit between two walls for the waters of the ancient fish-pool. But you have not gazed upward to him who made it, and you have not considered, even from a distance, its Maker.
Entre los dos muros hacen una represa para las aguas del estanque antiguo, pero no miran hacia el que hace esto, ni ven hacia el que lo produjo hace mucho tiempo.
12 And in that day, the Lord, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.
Aquel día ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes los convoca al llanto y lamento, a raparse el cabello y a cubrirse de tela áspera.
13 But behold: gladness and rejoicing, the killing of calves and the slaughter of rams, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”
Pero ciertamente hay gozo y alegría, matanza de bueyes y degüello de ovejas. Se come carne, se bebe vino y dicen: ¡Comamos y bebamos, porque mañana moriremos!
14 And the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, until you die,” says the Lord, the God of hosts.
Por eso Yavé de las huestes reveló a mis oídos: Ciertamente este pecado no les será perdonado hasta que mueran, dice ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes.
15 Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts: Go forth and enter to him who lives in the tabernacle, to Shebna, who is in charge of the temple, and you shall say to him:
ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes dice: Anda, vé a Sebna, administrador del palacio, y dile:
16 “What are you here, or who are you claiming to be here? For you have hewn a sepulcher for yourself here. You have diligently hewn a memorial in a rock, as a tabernacle to yourself.
¿Qué tienes aquí o a quién tienes aquí por lo cual te labras un sepulcro como el que labra su sepultura en la peña?
17 Behold, the Lord will cause you to be carried away, like a domesticated rooster, and he will remove you, like an outer garment.
Ciertamente, oh hombre, Yavé te lanzará lejos con fuerza y está a punto de atraparte.
18 He will crown you with a crown of tribulation. He will toss you like a ball into a broad and spacious land. There you will die, and there the chariot of your glory will be, for it is a shame to the house of your Lord.”
Te enrollará como un ovillo para lanzarte sobre una tierra espaciosa. Allí morirás y allí pararán tus espléndidos carruajes, como vergüenza de la casa de tu amo.
19 And I will expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.
Te privaré de tu cargo y te eliminaré de tu posición.
20 And this shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.
Aquel día llamaré a mi esclavo Eliaquim, hijo de Hilcías.
21 And I will clothe him with your vestment, and I will strengthen him with your belt, and I will give your authority to his hand. And he shall be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
Lo vestiré con tu túnica y le ataré tu cinturón. Entregaré tu poder en su mano. Será padre para los habitantes de Jerusalén y la Casa de Judá.
22 And I will place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And when he opens, no one will close. And when he closes, no one will open.
Pondré la llave de la casa de David sobre su hombro: cuando abra, nadie cerrará, y cuando cierre, nadie abrirá.
23 And I will fasten him like a peg in a trustworthy place. And he will be upon a throne of glory in the house of his father.
Lo clavaré como estaca en lugar firme. Será un trono de honra para la casa de su padre.
24 And they will suspend over him all the glory of his father’s house: various kinds of vessels and every little article, from the vessels of bowls even to every instrument of music.
Dependerá de él todo el esplendor de la casa de su padre, la prole y las futuras generaciones, y todos los utensilios hasta los más pequeños, desde los tazones hasta los cántaros.
25 In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg which was fastened in a trustworthy place shall be taken away. And he will be broken, and he will fall, and he will perish, along with all that had depended upon him, because the Lord has spoken it.
Aquel día, dice Yavé de las huestes, la estaca clavada en lugar firme cederá. La carga que dependía de ella caerá y se romperá, porque Yavé habló.
