Isaías 16
1 Enviád cordero al enseñoreador de la tierra, desde la Piedra del desierto al monte de la hija de Sión.
And they will send ... to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 Y será como ave espantada, que se huye de su nido, así serán las hijas de Moab a los vados de Arnón.
For the daughters of Moab will be like wandering birds, like a place from which the young birds have gone in flight, at the ways across the Arnon.
3 Toma consejo, haz juicio: pon tu sombra en el mediodía como la noche: esconde los desterrados, no descubras al huido.
Give wise directions, make a decision; let your shade be as night in full day: keep safe those who are in flight; do not give up the wandering ones.
4 Moren en ti mis desterrados, o! Moab: séles escondedero de la presencia del destruidor; porque el chupador fenecerá, el destruidor tendrá fin, el hollador será consumido de sobre la tierra.
Let those who have been forced out of Moab have a resting-place with you; be a cover to them from him who is making waste their land: till the cruel ones are cut off, and wasting has come to an end, and those who take pleasure in crushing the poor are gone from the land.
5 Y componerse ha trono en misericordia; y asentarse ha sobre él en firmeza en el tabernáculo de David quien juzgue, y busque el juicio, y apresure la justicia.
Then a king's seat will be based on mercy, and one will be seated on it in the tent of David for ever; judging uprightly, and quick to do righteousness.
6 Oído hemos la soberbia de Moab, soberbio mucho: su soberbia, y su arrogancia, y su altivez: mas sus mentiras no serán firmes.
We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride and passion: his high words about himself are false.
7 Por tanto aullará Moab, todo él aullará: gemiréis por los fundamentos de Kir-jareset, empero heridos.
For this cause everyone in Moab will give cries of grief for Moab: crushed to the earth, they will be weeping for the men of Kir-hareseth.
8 Porque las vides de Jesebón fueron taladas, y las vides de Sibma: señores de naciones hollaron sus generosos sarmientos que habían llegado hasta Jazer: habían cundido hasta el desierto: sus nobles plantas se extendieron, pasaron la mar.
For the fields of Heshbon are waste, the vine of Sibmah is dead; the lords of nations were overcome by the produce of her vines; her vine-plants went as far as Jazer, and came even to the waste land; her branches were stretched out to the sea.
9 Por lo cual lamentaré con lloro a Jazer de la viña de Sibma: embriagarte he de mis lágrimas, o! Jesebón, y Eleale; porque sobre tus cosechas, y sobre tu segada caerá la canción.
For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;
10 Quitado es el gozo y la alegría del campo fértil: en las viñas no cantarán, ni jubilarán: no pisará vino en los lagares el pisador: la canción hice cesar.
And all joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field; and in the vine-gardens there are no songs or sounds of joy: the crushing of grapes has come to an end, and its glad cry has been stopped.
11 Por tanto mis entrañas sonarán como arpa sobre Moab; y mis intestinos sobre Kir-jareset.
For this cause the cords of my heart are sounding for Moab, and I am full of sorrow for Kir-heres.
12 Y acaecerá que cuando Moab pareciere que está cansado sobre los altos, entonces vendrá a su santuario a orar, y no podrá.
And when Moab goes up to the high place, and makes prayer in the house of his god, it will have no effect.
13 Esta es la palabra que pronunció Jehová sobre Moab desde aquel tiempo.
This is the word which the Lord said about Moab in the past.
14 Empero ahora habló Jehová, diciendo: Dentro de tres años, como años de mozo de soldada, será abatida la gloria de Moab con toda su multitud, aunque grande; y sus residuos serán pocos, pequeños, no fuertes.
But now the Lord has said, In three years, the years of a servant working for payment, the glory of Moab, all that great people, will be turned to shame, and the rest of Moab will be very small and without honour.
