Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the Lord will lay waste to the earth, and he will strip it, and he will afflict its surface, and he will scatter its inhabitants.
HE aquí que Jehová vacía la tierra, y la desnuda, y trastorna su haz, y hace esparcir sus moradores.
2 And this shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; and as with the servant, so with his master; as with the handmaid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
Y será como el pueblo, tal el sacerdote; como el siervo, tal su señor; como la criada, tal su señora; tal el que compra, como el que vende; tal el que da emprestado, como el que toma prestado; tal el que da á logro, como el que lo recibe.
3 The earth will be utterly devastated and utterly plundered. For the Lord has spoken this word.
Del todo será vaciada la tierra, y enteramente saqueada; porque Jehová ha pronunciado esta palabra.
4 The earth mourned, and slipped away, and languished. The world slipped away; the loftiness of the people of the earth was weakened.
Destruyóse, cayó la tierra; enfermó, cayó el mundo; enfermaron los altos pueblos de la tierra.
5 And the earth was corrupted by its inhabitants. For they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have dissipated the everlasting covenant.
Y la tierra se inficionó bajo sus moradores; porque traspasaron las leyes, falsearon el derecho, rompieron el pacto sempiterno.
6 Because of this, a curse will devour the earth, and its inhabitants will sin. And for this reason, its caretakers will become crazed, and few men will be left behind.
Por esta causa la maldición consumió la tierra, y sus moradores fueron asolados; por esta causa fueron consumidos los habitantes de la tierra, y se disminuyeron los hombres.
7 The vintage has mourned. The vine has languished. All those who were rejoicing in their hearts have groaned.
Perdióse el vino, enfermó la vid, gimieron todos los que eran alegres de corazón.
8 The gladness of the drums has ceased. The sound of rejoicing has quieted. The sweetness of stringed instruments has been silenced.
Cesó el regocijo de los panderos, acabóse el estruendo de los que se huelgan, paró la alegría del arpa.
9 They will not drink wine with a song. The drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
No beberán vino con cantar: la bebida será amarga á los que la bebieren.
10 The city of vanity has been worn away. Every house has been closed up; no one enters.
Quebrantada está la ciudad de la vanidad; toda casa se ha cerrado, porque no entre nadie.
11 There will be a clamor for wine in the streets. All rejoicing has been abandoned. The gladness of the earth has been carried away.
Voces sobre el vino en las plazas; todo gozo se oscureció, desterróse la alegría de la tierra.
12 Solitude is what remains in the city, and calamity will overwhelm its gates.
En la ciudad quedó soledad, y con asolamiento fué herida la puerta.
13 For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people: it is as if the few remaining olives are being shaken from the olive tree, and it is like a few clusters of grapes, when the grape harvest has already ended.
Porque así será en medio de la tierra, en medio de los pueblos, como aceituno sacudido, como rebuscos acabada la vendimia.
14 These few shall lift up their voice and give praise. When the Lord will have been glorified, they will make a joyful noise from the sea.
Estos alzarán su voz, cantarán gozosos en la grandeza de Jehová, desde la mar darán voces.
15 Because of this, glorify the Lord in doctrine: the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
Glorificad por esto á Jehová en los valles: en islas de la mar sea nombrado Jehová Dios de Israel.
16 From the ends of the earth, we have heard the praises of the glory of the Just One. And I said: “My secret is for myself! My secret is for myself! Woe to me! Those who would betray us have betrayed us, and they have betrayed us with the betrayal of transgression.”
De lo postrero de la tierra oímos salmos: Gloria al justo. Y yo dije: ¡Mi flaqueza, mi flaqueza, ay de mí! Prevaricadores han prevaricado; y han prevaricado con prevaricación de desleales.
17 Dread, and the pit, and the snare are over you, O inhabitant of the earth!
Terror y sima y lazo sobre ti, oh morador de la tierra.
18 And this shall be: whoever will flee from the voice of dread will fall into the pit. And whoever will extricate himself from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the floodgates from above have been opened, and the foundations of the earth will be shaken.
Y acontecerá que el que huirá de la voz del terror, caerá en la sima; y el que saliere de en medio de la sima, será preso del lazo: porque de lo alto se abrieron ventanas, y temblarán los fundamentos de la tierra.
19 The earth will be utterly broken! The earth will be utterly crushed! The earth will be utterly shaken!
Quebrantaráse del todo la tierra, enteramente desmenuzada será la tierra, en gran manera será la tierra conmovida.
20 The earth will stagger greatly, like a drunken man, and will be carried away, like the tent of a single night. And its iniquity will be heavy upon it, and it will fall and not rise up again.
Temblará la tierra vacilando como un borracho, y será removida como una choza; y agravaráse sobre ella su pecado, y caerá, y nunca más se levantará.
21 And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will visit upon the armies of the sky above, and upon the kings of the earth who are on the ground.
Y acontecerá en aquel día, que Jehová visitará sobre el ejército sublime en lo alto, y sobre los reyes de la tierra [que hay] sobre la tierra.
22 And they will be gathered together like the gathering of one bundle into a pit. And they will be enclosed in that place, as in a prison. And after many days, they will be visited.
Y serán amontonados como se amontonan encarcelados en mazmorra, y en prisión quedarán encerrados, y serán visitados después de muchos días.
23 And the moon will be ashamed, and the sun will be confounded, when the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and when he will have been glorified in the sight of his elders.
La luna se avergonzará, y el sol se confundirá, cuando Jehová de los ejércitos reinare en el monte de Sión, y en Jerusalem, y delante de sus ancianos [fuere] glorioso.
