Isaías 24
1 Ciertamente Yavé vacía la tierra y la deja desolada. Trastorna su superficie y esparce a sus habitantes,
See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.
2 tanto al pueblo como al sacerdote, al esclavo como a su amo, a la esclava como a su ama, al comprador como al vendedor, al prestamista como al que toma prestado, al acreedor como al deudor.
And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.
3 La tierra será completamente vaciada, totalmente saqueada. Yavé pronunció esta palabra:
The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.
4 La tierra se lamenta y se marchita. Languidece el mundo, se debilita. Los exaltados del pueblo de la tierra desfallecen.
The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.
5 La tierra fue contaminada por sus habitantes, porque transgredieron las Leyes, violaron las Ordenanzas y quebrantaron el Pacto eterno.
The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.
6 Por tanto la maldición devora la tierra, y los que viven en ella son culpables. Como resultado los habitantes de la tierra son consumidos, y quedan pocos hombres.
For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.
7 El vino nuevo languidece, se marchita la vid y gimen los que eran de corazón alegre.
The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.
8 Se acaba el júbilo de los panderos. Cesa el bullicio de los que se divierten. Se suspende la alegría del arpa.
The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.
9 No beben vino entre canciones. El licor es amargo para los que lo beben.
There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.
10 La ciudad está quebrantada por el caos. Toda casa está cerrada para que nadie entre.
The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.
11 Hay lamentos en las calles por la falta de vino. Todo gozo se oscurece. La alegría salió de la tierra.
There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.
12 La ciudad quedó desolada. Su puerta fue golpeada con destrucción.
In the town all is waste, and in the public place is destruction.
13 Sucederá en medio de la tierra y en medio de los pueblos como cuando se sacude el olivo o en el rebusco después de la cosecha.
For it will be in the heart of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive-tree, as the last of the grapes after the getting-in is done.
14 A causa de la majestad de Yavé, alzarán la voz desde el occidente y dirán:
But those will be making sounds of joy; they will be crying loudly from the sea for the glory of the Lord.
15 ¡Aclamen a Yavé desde el oriente, desde las costas del mar, al Nombre de Yavé, el ʼElohim de Israel!
Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.
16 Oímos cánticos desde el extremo de la tierra: ¡Gloria al Justo! Pero yo digo: ¡Qué dolor! ¡Qué dolor! ¡Ay de mí! Los traidores traicionan. Los traidores traicionan con gran traición.
From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.
17 ¡Terror, fosa y trampa hay contra ti, oh habitante de la tierra!
Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.
18 Acontecerá que el que huya del informe del desastre caerá en la fosa. El que salga de la fosa será atrapado en la red. Las ventanas de lo alto están abiertas. Los cimientos de la tierra se conmueven.
And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.
19 La tierra será completamente destrozada, completamente desmenuzada. Se deshace en pedazos. En gran manera será derrumbada.
The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
20 La tierra se tambalea como un ebrio y será removida como una choza. ¡Tanto le pesa su pecado! Se desploma y no volverá a levantarse.
The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.
21 Aquel día Yavé castigará en lo alto al ejército de lo alto, y sobre la tierra a los reyes de la tierra.
And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 Serán agrupados como se agrupa a los prisioneros en prisiones subterráneas. Quedarán encerrados, y después de muchos días serán castigados.
And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.
23 La luna se avergonzará, y el sol se confundirá, cuando Yavé de las huestes reine en la Montaña Sion y en Jerusalén, y la gloria esté ante sus ancianos.
Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.
