Isaías 22
1 Carga sobre el Valle de la Visión: ¿Qué pasa que todos ustedes subieron a las azoteas?
The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?
2 Tú, llena de bullicio, pueblo turbulento, ciudad regocijada. Tus caídos no fueron asesinados a espada, ni murieron en combate.
You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.
3 Todos tus comandantes huyeron juntos. Todos los tuyos fueron capturados sin arco, aunque huyeron lejos.
All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.
4 Por eso dije: Déjame llorar amargamente. No se afanen en consolarme por la destrucción de la hija de mi pueblo.
For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting 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 crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...
6 Elam toma la caja portátil de flechas, Siria irrumpe con carruajes y Quir saca el escudo.
And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
7 Tus mejores valles se llenaron de carruajes, y los jinetes acamparon frente a la puerta.
And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.
8 Fue quitada la defensa de Judá. Aquel día fijan su mirada en las armas de la Casa del Bosque.
He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.
9 Ven muchas brechas en la Ciudad de David, y recogen las aguas del estanque de abajo.
And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.
10 Cuentan las casas de Jerusalén, y demuelen casas para reforzar el muro.
And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.
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.
And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.
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, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:
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!
But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.
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 the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
15 ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes dice: Anda, vé a Sebna, administrador del palacio, y dile:
The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, 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?
Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?
17 Ciertamente, oh hombre, Yavé te lanzará lejos con fuerza y está a punto de atraparte.
See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
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.
Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!
19 Te privaré de tu cargo y te eliminaré de tu posición.
And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.
20 Aquel día llamaré a mi esclavo Eliaquim, hijo de Hilcías.
And in that day I will send for 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 put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family 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 give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.
23 Lo clavaré como estaca en lugar firme. Será un trono de honra para la casa de su padre.
And I will put him like a nail in a safe place; and he will be for a seat of glory to his father's family.
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 all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.
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 the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.
