Isaías 22
1 Carga sobre el Valle de la Visión: ¿Qué pasa que todos ustedes subieron a las azoteas?
The burden of the valley of vision. What troubles thee now, that thou have wholly gone up to the housetops?
2 Tú, llena de bullicio, pueblo turbulento, ciudad regocijada. Tus caídos no fueron asesinados a espada, ni murieron en combate.
O thou that are full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town. Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor are they dead in battle.
3 Todos tus comandantes huyeron juntos. Todos los tuyos fueron capturados sin arco, aunque huyeron lejos.
All thy rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found of thee were bound together; they fled afar off.
4 Por eso dije: Déjame llorar amargamente. No se afanen en consolarme por la destrucción de la hija de mi pueblo.
Therefore I said, Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
5 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.
For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.
6 Elam toma la caja portátil de flechas, Siria irrumpe con carruajes y Quir saca el escudo.
And Elam bore the quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Tus mejores valles se llenaron de carruajes, y los jinetes acamparon frente a la puerta.
And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
8 Fue quitada la defensa de Judá. Aquel día fijan su mirada en las armas de la Casa del Bosque.
And he took away the covering of Judah, and thou looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
9 Ven muchas brechas en la Ciudad de David, y recogen las aguas del estanque de abajo.
And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many. And to fortify the wall, ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool,
10 Cuentan las casas de Jerusalén, y demuelen casas para reforzar el muro.
and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye broke down the houses.
11 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.
Ye also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But ye did not look to him who had done this, nor had ye respect to him who purposed it long ago.
12 Aquel día ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes los convoca al llanto y lamento, a raparse el cabello y a cubrirse de tela áspera.
And in that day the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, called for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.
13 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!
And, behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
14 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.
And Jehovah of hosts revealed himself in my ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till ye die, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
15 ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes dice: Anda, vé a Sebna, administrador del palacio, y dile:
Thus says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, Go, get thee to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
16 ¿Qué tienes aquí o a quién tienes aquí por lo cual te labras un sepulcro como el que labra su sepultura en la peña?
What are thou doing here? And whom have thou here, that thou have hewed thee out here a sepulcher? Hewing him out a sepulcher on high, carving a habitation for himself in the rock!
17 Ciertamente, oh hombre, Yavé te lanzará lejos con fuerza y está a punto de atraparte.
Behold, Jehovah, like a strong man, will hurl thee away violently. Yea, he will wrap thee up closely.
18 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.
He will surely wind thee round and round, tossing like a ball into a large country. There thou shall die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be, thou shame of thy lord's house.
19 Te privaré de tu cargo y te eliminaré de tu posición.
And I will thrust thee from thine office, and thou shall be pulled down from thy station.
20 Aquel día llamaré a mi esclavo Eliaquim, hijo de Hilcías.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.
21 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.
And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy belt. And I will commit thy government into his hand, and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 Pondré la llave de la casa de David sobre su hombro: cuando abra, nadie cerrará, y cuando cierre, nadie abrirá.
And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, and he shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 Lo clavaré como estaca en lugar firme. Será un trono de honra para la casa de su padre.
And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house.
24 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.
And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flagons.
25 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.
In that day, says Jehovah of hosts, the nail that was fastened in a sure place shall give way, and it shall be hewn down, and fall. And the burden that was upon it shall be cut off, for Jehovah has spoken it.
