Isaías 22
1 Carga del valle de la visión. ¿Qué tienes ahora, que toda tú te has subido sobre los tejados?
THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to you, that now you are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?
2 Tú, llena de alborotos, ciudad turbulenta, ciudad alegre; tus muertos no son muertos a cuchillo, ni muertos en guerra.
The city is filled with shouting [men]: your slain are not slain with swords, nor are your dead those who have died in battle.
3 Todos tus Príncipes juntos huyeron del arco, fueron atados. Todos los que en ti se hallaron, fueron atados juntamente; los otros huyeron lejos.
All your princes have fled, and [your] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in you have 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, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people.
5 Porque día de alboroto, y de huella, y de fatiga por el Señor DIOS de los ejércitos es enviado en el valle de la visión, para derribar el muro, y dar grito al monte.
For [it is] a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and [there is] perplexity [sent] from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains.
6 También Elam tomó aljaba en carro de hombres, y de caballeros; y Kir descubrió escudo.
And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle.
7 Y acaeció, que tus hermosos valles fueron llenos de carros; y soldados pusieron de hecho sus haces a la puerta.
And it shall be [that] your choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up your gates.
8 Y desnudó la cobertura de Judá; y miraste en aquel día hacia la casa de armas del bosque.
And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city.
9 Y visteis las roturas de la ciudad de David, que se multiplicaron; y recogisteis las aguas de la pesquera de abajo.
And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one [had] turned the water of the old pool into the city;
10 Y contasteis las casas de Jerusalén; y derribasteis casas para fortificar el muro.
and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city.
11 E hicisteis foso entre los dos muros con las aguas de la pesquera vieja; y no tuvisteis respeto al que lo hizo, ni mirasteis desde la antiguedad al que lo labró.
And you procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but you looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it.
12 Por tanto, el Señor DIOS de los ejércitos, llamó en este día a llanto y a endechas; a raparse el cabello y a vestir cilicio.
And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and baldness, and for girding with sackcloth:
13 Y he aquí gozo y alegría, matando vacas, y degollando ovejas, comer carne y beber vino, deciendo: Comamos y bebamos, que mañana moriremos.
but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
14 Esto fue revelado a mis oídos de parte del SEÑOR de los ejércitos: Que este pecado no os será purgado hasta que muráis, dice el Señor DIOS de los ejércitos.
And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until you die.
15 El SEÑOR de los ejércitos dice así: Ve, entra a este tesorero, a Sebna el mayordomo, y dile:
Thus says the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why are you here?
16 ¿Qué tienes tú aquí, o a quién tienes tú aquí, que labraste aquí sepulcro para ti, como el que en lugar alto labra su sepultura, o el que esculpe para sí morada en una peña?
and what have you to do here, that you have here hewn yourself a sepulchre, and made yourself a sepulchre on high, and have graven for yourself a dwelling in the rock?
17 He aquí que el SEÑOR te transportará en duro cautiverio, y de cierto te cubrirá el rostro.
Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away your robe and your glorious crown,
18 Te echará a rodar con ímpetu, como a bola por tierra larga de términos; allá morirás, y allá fenecerán los carros de tu gloria, vergüenza de la casa de tu Señor.
and will cast you into a great and unmeasured land, and there you shall die: and he will bring your fair chariot to shame, and the house of your prince to be trodden down.
19 Y te arrojaré de tu lugar, y de tu puesto te empujaré.
And you shall be removed from your stewardship, and from your place.
20 Y será, que en aquel día llamaré a mi siervo Eliacim, hijo de Hilcías.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias:
21 Y lo vestiré de tus vestiduras, y le fortaleceré con tu talabarte; y entregaré en sus manos tu potestad; y será padre al morador de Jerusalén, y a la casa de Judá.
and I will put on him your robe, and I will grant him your crown with power, and I will give your stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.
22 Y pondré la llave de la casa de David sobre su hombro; y abrirá, y nadie cerrará; cerrará, y nadie abrirá.
And I will give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him the key of the house of David [upon] his shoulder; and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut; and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open.
23 Y lo hincaré como clavo en lugar firme; y será por asiento de honra a la casa de su padre.
And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of 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.
And every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day.
25 En aquel día, dice el SEÑOR 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 a perder; porque el SEÑOR habló.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord has spoken it.
