Isaías 24
1 HE aquí que Jehová vacía la tierra, y la desnuda, y trastorna su haz, y hace esparcir sus moradores.
Behold, YHWH is emptying the earth, And is making it desolate, And has overturned [it on] its face, And has scattered its inhabitants.
2 Y será como el pueblo, tal el sacerdote; como el siervo, tal su señor; como la criada, tal su señora; tal el que compra, como el que vende; tal el que da emprestado, como el que toma prestado; tal el que da á logro, como el que lo recibe.
And it has been—as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maidservant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
3 Del todo será vaciada la tierra, y enteramente saqueada; porque Jehová ha pronunciado esta palabra.
The earth is utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled, For YHWH has spoken this word:
4 Destruyóse, cayó la tierra; enfermó, cayó el mundo; enfermaron los altos pueblos de la tierra.
The earth has mourned, faded, The world has languished, faded, They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.
5 Y la tierra se inficionó bajo sus moradores; porque traspasaron las leyes, falsearon el derecho, rompieron el pacto sempiterno.
And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a perpetual covenant.
6 Por esta causa la maldición consumió la tierra, y sus moradores fueron asolados; por esta causa fueron consumidos los habitantes de la tierra, y se disminuyeron los hombres.
Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, And the inhabitants in it become desolate, Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, And few men have been left.
7 Perdióse el vino, enfermó la vid, gimieron todos los que eran alegres de corazón.
The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, All the joyful of heart have sighed.
8 Cesó el regocijo de los panderos, acabóse el estruendo de los que se huelgan, paró la alegría del arpa.
The joy of tambourines has ceased, The noise of exulting ones has ceased, The joy of a harp has ceased.
9 No beberán vino con cantar: la bebida será amarga á los que la bebieren.
They do not drink wine with a song, Strong drink is bitter to those drinking it.
10 Quebrantada está la ciudad de la vanidad; toda casa se ha cerrado, porque no entre nadie.
It was broken down—a city of emptiness, Every house has been shut from [its] entrance.
11 Voces sobre el vino en las plazas; todo gozo se oscureció, desterróse la alegría de la tierra.
In out-places [is] a cry over the wine, All joy has been darkened, The joy of the land has been removed.
12 En la ciudad quedó soledad, y con asolamiento fué herida la puerta.
Desolation [is] left in the city, And the gate is struck [with] ruin.
13 Porque así será en medio de la tierra, en medio de los pueblos, como aceituno sacudido, como rebuscos acabada la vendimia.
When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the surrounding of the olive, As gleanings when harvest has been finished,
14 Estos alzarán su voz, cantarán gozosos en la grandeza de Jehová, desde la mar darán voces.
They lift up their voice, They sing of the excellence of YHWH, They have cried aloud from the sea.
15 Glorificad por esto á Jehová en los valles: en islas de la mar sea nombrado Jehová Dios de Israel.
Therefore honor YHWH in prosperity, In islands of the sea, the Name of YHWH, God of Israel.
16 De lo postrero de la tierra oímos salmos: Gloria al justo. Y yo dije: ¡Mi flaqueza, mi flaqueza, ay de mí! Prevaricadores han prevaricado; y han prevaricado con prevaricación de desleales.
From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, “Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.” Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Indeed, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
17 Terror y sima y lazo sobre ti, oh morador de la tierra.
Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [Are] on you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 Y acontecerá que el que huirá de la voz del terror, caerá en la sima; y el que saliere de en medio de la sima, será preso del lazo: porque de lo alto se abrieron ventanas, y temblarán los fundamentos de la tierra.
And it has come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear falls into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the trap, For windows have been opened on high, And foundations of the earth are shaken.
19 Quebrantaráse del todo la tierra, enteramente desmenuzada será la tierra, en gran manera será la tierra conmovida.
The earth has been utterly broken down, The earth has been utterly broken, The earth has been utterly moved.
20 Temblará la tierra vacilando como un borracho, y será removida como una choza; y agravaráse sobre ella su pecado, y caerá, y nunca más se levantará.
The earth staggers greatly as a drunkard, And it has been moved as a lodge, And its transgression has been heavy on it, And it has fallen, and does not add to rise.
21 Y acontecerá en aquel día, que Jehová visitará sobre el ejército sublime en lo alto, y sobre los reyes de la tierra [que hay] sobre la tierra.
And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH lays a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 Y serán amontonados como se amontonan encarcelados en mazmorra, y en prisión quedarán encerrados, y serán visitados después de muchos días.
And they have been gathered—A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And they have been shut up in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
23 La luna se avergonzará, y el sol se confundirá, cuando Jehová de los ejércitos reinare en el monte de Sión, y en Jerusalem, y delante de sus ancianos [fuere] glorioso.
And the moon has been confounded, And the sun has been ashamed, For YHWH of Hosts has reigned In Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And before His elderly—glory!
