Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops?
Carga sobre el Valle de la Visión: ¿Qué pasa que todos ustedes subieron a las azoteas?
2 You that are full of stirs, a tumultuous city, joyous city: your slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
Tú, llena de bullicio, pueblo turbulento, ciudad regocijada. Tus caídos no fueron asesinados a espada, ni murieron en combate.
3 All your rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in you are bound together, which have fled from far.
Todos tus comandantes huyeron juntos. Todos los tuyos fueron capturados sin arco, aunque huyeron lejos.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the spoiling 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 trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
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 bore the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
Elam toma la caja portátil de flechas, Siria irrumpe con carruajes y Quir saca el escudo.
7 And it shall come to pass, that your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
Tus mejores valles se llenaron de carruajes, y los jinetes acamparon frente a la puerta.
8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and you did look in that day to the armor of the house of the forest.
Fue quitada la defensa de Judá. Aquel día fijan su mirada en las armas de la Casa del Bosque.
9 You have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and you gathered together the waters of the lower 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 the houses have you broken down to fortify the wall.
Cuentan las casas de Jerusalén, y demuelen casas para reforzar el muro.
11 You made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but you have not looked to the maker thereof, neither had respect to him that fashioned it long ago.
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 did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with 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 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall 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 it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till you die, says the Lord 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 GOD of hosts, Go, get you to this treasurer, even to Shebna, which is over the house, and say,
ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes dice: Anda, vé a Sebna, administrador del palacio, y dile:
16 What have you here? and whom have you here, that you have hewed you out a sepulcher here, as he that hews him out a sepulcher on high, and that engraves an habitation for himself in a rock?
¿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 carry you away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover you.
Ciertamente, oh hombre, Yavé te lanzará lejos con fuerza y está a punto de atraparte.
18 He will surely violently turn and toss you like a ball into a large country: there shall you die, and there the chariots of your glory shall be the shame of your lord’s house.
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 drive you from your station, and from your state shall he pull you down.
Te privaré de tu cargo y te eliminaré de tu posición.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that 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 robe, and strengthen him with your girdle, and I will commit your government into his hand: and he shall be 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 the key of the house of David will I lay on his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall 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 as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
Lo clavaré como estaca en lugar firme. Será un trono de honra para la casa de su padre.
24 And they shall hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
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, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was on it shall be cut off: for 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.
