Isaías 22

1 Carga del valle de la visión: ¿Qué has ahora, que toda tú te has subido sobre los tejados?

The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?

2 Llena de alborotos, ciudad turbulenta, ciudad alegre. Tus muertos, no muertos a cuchillo, ni muertos en guerra.

You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.

3 Todos tus príncipes juntos huyeron del arco: fueron atados. Todos los que en ti se hallaron, fueron atados juntamente: lejos se habían huido.

All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.

4 Por esto dije: Dejádme; lloraré amargamente: no os trabajéis por consolarme de la destrucción de la hija de mi pueblo.

For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.

5 Porque día de alboroto, y de huella, y de fatiga por el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos es enviado en el valle de la visión, para derribar al muro, y dar grita al monte.

For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...

6 También Elam tomó aljaba en carro de hombres, y de caballeros; y Cir descubrió escudo.

And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.

7 Y acaeció que tus hermosos valles fueron llenos de carros; y soldados pusieron de hecho sus haces a la puerta.

And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.

8 Y desnudó la cobertura de Judá, y miraste en aquel día hacia la casa de armas del bosque.

He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.

9 Y visteis las roturas de la ciudad de David, que se multiplicaron; y juntasteis las aguas de la pesquera de abajo.

And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.

10 Y contasteis las casas de Jerusalem; y derribasteis casas para fortalecer el muro.

And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.

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.

And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.

12 Por tanto el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos llamó en este día a llanto y a endechas, a mesar y a vestir saco.

And in that day the Lord, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:

13 Y veis aquí gozo y alegría, matando vacas, y degollando ovejas, comer carne, y beber vino: comer y beber, que mañana moriremos.

But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.

14 Esto fue revelado a 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.

And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.

15 Jehová de los ejércitos dice así: Vé, entra a este tesorero, a Sobna el mayordomo:

The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,

16 ¿Qué tienes tú aquí? ¿o a quién tienes tú aquí que labraste para ti aquí sepulcro, como el que labra en lugar alto su sepultura, o el que esculpe en peñasco morada para sí?

Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?

17 He aquí que Jehová te trasporta de traspuesta de varón, y cubriendo te cubrirá.

See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,

18 Arrojarte ha rodando, 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.

Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!

19 Y alanzarte he de tu lugar, y de tu asiento te rempujaré.

And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.

20 Y será, que en aquel día llamaré a mi siervo Eliacim, hijo de Elcías;

And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:

21 Y vestirle he de tus vestiduras; y fortalecerle he con tu talabarte; y entregaré en sus manos tu potestad; y será padre al morador de Jerusalem, y a la casa de Judá.

And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family 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 give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.

23 E hincarle he como clavo en lugar firme; y será por asiento de honra a la casa de su padre.

And I will put him like a nail in a safe place; and he will be for a seat of glory to his father's family.

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 all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.

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 a perder; porque Jehová habló.

In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.
