< Isaiah 22 >

1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What is [troubling] you now, that you have gone up, All of you—to the roofs?
Carga sobre el Valle de la Visión: ¿Qué pasa que todos ustedes subieron a las azoteas?
2 Full of stirs—a noisy city—an exulting city, Your pierced are not pierced of 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 fled from the bow together, All found of you have been bound, They have been kept bound together, They have fled far off.
Todos tus comandantes huyeron juntos. Todos los tuyos fueron capturados sin arco, aunque huyeron lejos.
4 Therefore I said, “Look [away] from me, I am bitter in my weeping, do not hurry to comfort me, For the destruction 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 a day of noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, In the Valley of Vision, digging down a wall, And crying to 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 has carried a quiver, In a chariot of men—horsemen, And Kir has exposed a shield.
Elam toma la caja portátil de flechas, Siria irrumpe con carruajes y Quir saca el escudo.
7 And it comes to pass, The choice of your valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen diligently place themselves at the gate.
Tus mejores valles se llenaron de carruajes, y los jinetes acamparon frente a la puerta.
8 And one removes the covering of Judah, And in that day you look 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 And you have seen the breaches of the City of David, For they have become many, And you gather 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 numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And you break down the houses to fortify the wall.
Cuentan las casas de Jerusalén, y demuelen casas para reforzar el muro.
11 And you made a ditch between the two walls, For the waters of the old pool, And you have not looked to its Maker, And you have not seen its Framer of old.
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 the Lord calls, YHWH of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on 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 And behold, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine, Eat and drink, for tomorrow we 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 has been revealed in my ears, [By] YHWH of Hosts: This iniquity is not pardoned to you, Until you die, said the Lord, YHWH 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 said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Go forth, go to this steward, To Shebna, who [is] over the house:
ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes dice: Anda, vé a Sebna, administrador del palacio, y dile:
16 What are you [doing] here? And who has [allowed] you here? That you have hewn out a tomb for yourself here? Hewing his tomb on high, Carving a dwelling 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, YHWH is casting you up and down, A casting up and down, O mighty one,
Ciertamente, oh hombre, Yavé te lanzará lejos con fuerza y está a punto de atraparte.
18 And your coverer covering, wrapping around, Wraps you around, O babbler, On a land of broad sides—there you die, And there the chariots of your glory [are] the shame of 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 have thrust you from your station, And he throws you down from your office.
Te privaré de tu cargo y te eliminaré de tu posición.
20 And it has come to pass in that day, That I have called to My servant, To Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
Aquel día llamaré a mi esclavo Eliaquim, hijo de Hilcías.
21 And I have clothed him with your coat, And I strengthen him with your girdle, And I give your garment into his hand, And he has been for a father to the inhabitant 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 have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he has opened, and none is shutting, And has shut, and none is opening.
Pondré la llave de la casa de David sobre su hombro: cuando abra, nadie cerrará, y cuando cierre, nadie abrirá.
23 And I have fixed him [as] a nail in a steadfast place, And he has been for a throne of glory To 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 have hanged on him All the glory of the house of his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all 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—a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, The nail that is fixed is moved In a steadfast place, Indeed, it has been cut down, and has fallen, And the burden that [is] on it has been cut off, For YHWH has spoken!”
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.
