Isaías 22
1 Carga del valle de la visión. ¿Qué tienes ahora, que toda tú te has subido sobre los tejados?
The burden of the valley of vision. What does it mean to you, then, that each of you have even climbed to the rooftops?
2 Tú, llena de alborotos, ciudad turbulenta, ciudad alegre; tus muertos no son muertos a cuchillo, ni muertos en guerra.
Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die 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 leaders have fled together, and they have been bound by hardship. All who were found were chained together. They 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.
For this reason, I said: “Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation 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 death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.
6 También Elam tomó aljaba en carro de hombres, y de caballeros; y Kir descubrió escudo.
And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.
7 Y acaeció, que tus hermosos valles fueron llenos de carros; y soldados pusieron de hecho sus haces a la puerta.
And your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.
8 Y desnudó la cobertura de Judá; y miraste en aquel día hacia la casa de armas del bosque.
And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.
9 Y visteis las roturas de la ciudad de David, que se multiplicaron; y recogisteis las aguas de la pesquera de abajo.
And you will see breaches in the city of David, for these have been multiplied. But you have gathered together the waters of the lower fish-pool.
10 Y contasteis las casas de Jerusalén; y derribasteis casas para fortificar el muro.
And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order 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 lo hizo, ni mirasteis desde la antiguedad al que lo labró.
And you have made a pit between two walls for the waters of the ancient fish-pool. But you have not gazed upward to him who made it, and you have not considered, even from a distance, its Maker.
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 in that day, the Lord, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of 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 behold: gladness and rejoicing, the killing of calves and the slaughter of rams, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will 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 the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, until you die,” says the Lord, the God of hosts.
15 El SEÑOR de los ejércitos dice así: Ve, entra a este tesorero, a Sebna el mayordomo, y dile:
Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts: Go forth and enter to him who lives in the tabernacle, to Shebna, who is in charge of the temple, and you shall say to him:
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?
“What are you here, or who are you claiming to be here? For you have hewn a sepulcher for yourself here. You have diligently hewn a memorial in a rock, as a tabernacle to yourself.
17 He aquí que el SEÑOR te transportará en duro cautiverio, y de cierto te cubrirá el rostro.
Behold, the Lord will cause you to be carried away, like a domesticated rooster, and he will remove you, like an outer garment.
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.
He will crown you with a crown of tribulation. He will toss you like a ball into a broad and spacious land. There you will die, and there the chariot of your glory will be, for it is a shame to the house of your Lord.”
19 Y te arrojaré de tu lugar, y de tu puesto te empujaré.
And I will expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.
20 Y será, que en aquel día llamaré a mi siervo Eliacim, hijo de Hilcías.
And this shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.
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 clothe him with your vestment, and I will strengthen him with your belt, and I will give your authority to his hand. And he shall be like 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.
And I will place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And when he opens, no one will close. And when he closes, no one will 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 fasten him like a peg in a trustworthy place. And he will be upon a throne of glory in the house of his father.
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 they will suspend over him all the glory of his father’s house: various kinds of vessels and every little article, from the vessels of bowls even to every instrument of music.
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.
In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg which was fastened in a trustworthy place shall be taken away. And he will be broken, and he will fall, and he will perish, along with all that had depended upon him, because the Lord has spoken it.
