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 ails you now, that you have all 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.
You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
3 Todos tus comandantes huyeron juntos. Todos los tuyos fueron capturados sin arco, aunque huyeron lejos.
All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.
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. Do not labor 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 confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the LORD 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.
Elam carried his 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.
It happened that your 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.
He took away the covering of Judah; and you 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.
You saw the breaches of the City of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 Cuentan las casas de Jerusalén, y demuelen casas para reforzar el muro.
You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
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.
You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for 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.
In that day the LORD of hosts called for weeping and for mourning, for shaved heads, and for the wearing of 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!
But look, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will 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.
The LORD of hosts revealed himself in my ears, "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die," says the LORD of hosts.
15 ʼAdonay Yavé de las huestes dice: Anda, vé a Sebna, administrador del palacio, y dile:
Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is in charge of 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 you doing here, and whom have you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?' Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock."
17 Ciertamente, oh hombre, Yavé te lanzará lejos con fuerza y está a punto de atraparte.
Look, the LORD will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
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 you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord's house.
19 Te privaré de tu cargo y te eliminaré de tu posición.
I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
20 Aquel día llamaré a mi esclavo Eliaquim, hijo de Hilcías.
It will happen 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 your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will 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.
I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
23 Lo clavaré como estaca en lugar firme. Será un trono de honra para la casa de su padre.
I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will 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.
They will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
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 hosts, "the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken it."
