Isaías 22
1 CARGA del valle de la visión. ¿Qué tienes ahora, que toda tú te has subido sobre los terrados?
The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
2 Tú, llena de alborotos, ciudad turbulenta, ciudad alegre; tus muertos no son muertos á cuchillo, ni muertos en guerra.
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 príncipes juntos huyeron del arco, fueron atados: todos los que en ti se hallaron, fueron atados juntamente, [aunque] lejos se habían huído.
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 esto dije: Dejadme, lloraré amargamente; no os afanéis por consolarme de la destrucción de la hija de mi pueblo.
Therefore I said, “Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labour to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
5 Porque día es de alboroto, y de huella, y de fatiga por el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos en el valle de la visión, para derribar el muro, y [dar] grita al monte.
For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity from the Lord, GOD of Hosts, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.”
6 Y Elam tomó aljaba en carro de hombres y de caballeros; y Chîr descubrió escudo.
Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Y acaeció que tus hermosos valles fueron llenos de carros, y los de á caballo acamparon á la puerta.
Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
8 Y desnudó la cobertura de Judá; y miraste en aquel día hacia la casa de armas del bosque.
He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armour in the house of the forest.
9 Y visteis las roturas de la ciudad de David, que se multiplicaron; y recogisteis las aguas de la pesquera de abajo.
You saw the breaches of David’s city, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 Y contasteis las casas de Jerusalem, y derribasteis casas para fortificar el muro.
You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
11 E hicisteis foso entre los dos muros con las aguas de la pesquera vieja: y no tuvisteis respeto al que la hizo, ni mirasteis de lejos al que la labró.
You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who planned it long ago.
12 Por tanto el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos llamó en este día á llanto y á endechas, á mesar y á vestir saco.
In that day, the Lord, GOD of Hosts, called to weeping, to mourning, to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth;
13 Y he aquí gozo y alegría, matando vacas y degollando ovejas, comer carne y beber vino, [diciendo]: Comamos y bebamos, que mañana moriremos.
and behold, there is joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine: “Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”
14 Esto fué revelado á mis oídos de parte de Jehová de los ejércitos: Que este pecado no os será perdonado hasta que muráis, dice el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos.
The LORD of Hosts revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, GOD of Hosts.
15 Jehová de los ejércitos dice así: Ve, entra á este tesorero, á Sebna el mayordomo, [y dile]:
The Lord, GOD of Hosts says, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
16 ¿Qué tienes tú aquí, ó á quién tienes tú aquí, que labraste aquí sepulcro para ti, [como] el que en lugar alto labra su sepultura, ó el que esculpe para sí morada en una peña?
‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiselling a habitation for himself in the rock!”
17 He aquí que Jehová te trasportará en duro cautiverio, y de cierto te cubrirá [el rostro].
Behold, the LORD will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
18 Te echará á rodar con ímpetu, como á bola por tierra larga de términos: allá morirás, y allá estarán los carros de tu gloria, oh vergüenza de la casa de tu señor.
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 disgrace of your lord’s house.
19 Y arrojarte he de tu lugar, y de tu puesto te empujaré.
I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
20 Y será que, en aquel día, llamaré á mi siervo Eliacim, hijo de Hilcías;
It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
21 Y vestirélo de tus vestiduras, y le fortaleceré con tu talabarte, y entregaré en sus manos tu potestad; y será padre al morador de Jerusalem, y á 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 Y pondré la llave de la casa de David sobre su hombro; y abrirá, y nadie cerrará; cerrará, y nadie abrirá.
I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
23 E hincarélo como clavo en lugar firme; y será por asiento de honra á 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 Y colgarán de él toda la honra de la casa de su padre, los hijos y los nietos, todos los vasos menores, desde los vasos de beber hasta todos los instrumentos de música.
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 En aquel día, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, el clavo hincado en lugar firme será quitado, y será quebrado y caerá; y la carga que sobre él se puso, se echará á perder; porque Jehová 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.”
