Isaías 22

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Oráculo contra el valle de la Visión. ¿Qué tienes ahora, que has subido en pleno a las azoteas,	1 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 de rumores henchida, ciudad alborotada, villa bullanguera? Tus caídos no son caídos a espada ni muertos en guerra.	2 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 sus jefes huyeron a una: del arco escapaban. Todos tus valientes fueron apresados a una: lejos huían.	3 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 eso he dicho: «¡Apartaos de mí! Voy a llorar amargamente. No os empeñéis en consolarme por la devastación de la hija de mi pueblo».	4 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 es día de perturbación, de extravío y de aplastamiento para el Señor Yahveh Sebaot. En el valle de la Visión se zapa un muro y el grito de socorro llega a la montaña,	5 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 Elam lleva el carcaj, Aram monta a caballo, Quir desnuda el escudo.	6 And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.
7 Tus mejores valles se vieron llenos de carros, y los de a caballo formaron frente a la puerta.	7 And your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.
8 Entonces cayó la defensa de Judá. Contemplasteis aquel día el arsenal de la Casa del Bosque.	8 And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.
9 Y las brechas de la ciudad de David visteis que eran muchas, y reunisteis las aguas de la alberca inferior.	9 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 Las casas de Jerusalén contasteis, y demolisteis casas para fortificar la muralla.	10 And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order to fortify the wall.
11 Un estanque hicisteis entre ambos muros para las aguas de la alberca vieja; pero no os fijasteis en su Hacedor, al que desde antiguo lo ideó de lejos no le visteis.	11 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 Llamaba el Señor Yahveh Sebaot aquel día a lloro y a lamento y a raparse y ceñirse de sayal,	12 And in that day, the Lord, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.
13 mas lo que hubo fue jolgorio y alegría, matanza de bueyes y degüello de ovejas, comer carne y beber vino: «¡Comamos y bebamos, que mañana moriremos!»	13 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 Entonces me reveló al oído Yahveh Sebaot: «No será expiada esa culpa hasta que muráis» - ha dicho el Señor Yahveh Sebaot -.	14 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 Así dice el Señor Yahveh Sebaot: Preséntate al mayordomo, a Sebná, encargado del palacio,	15 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 el que labra en alto su tumba, el que se talla en la peña una morada: «¿Qué es tuyo aquí y a quién tienes aquí, que te has labrado aquí una tumba?»	16 “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 Yahveh te hace rebotar, hombre, y te vuelve a agarrar.	17 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 enrolla en ovillo, como una pelota en tierra de amplios espacios. Allí morirás, y allí irán tus carrozas gloriosas, vergüenza del palacio de tu señor.	18 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 Te empujaré de tu peana y de tu pedestal te apearé.	19 And I will expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.
20 Aquel día llamaré a mi siervo Elyaquim, hijo de Jilquías.	20 And this shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.
21 Le revestiré de tu túnica, con tu fajín le sujetaré, tu autoridad pondré en su mano, y será él un padre para los habitantes de Jerusalén y para la casa de Judá.	21 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 Pondré la llave de la casa de David sobre su hombro; abrirá, y nadie cerrará, cerrará, y nadie abrirá.	22 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 Le hincaré como clavija en lugar seguro, y será trono de gloria para la casa de su padre.	23 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 Colgarán allí todo lo de valor de la casa de su padre - sus descendientes y su posteridad -, todo el ajuar menudo, todas las tazas y cántaros.	24 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 Aquel día - oráculo de Yahveh Sebaot - se removerá la clavija hincada en sitio seguro, cederá y caerá, y se hará añicos el peso que sostenía, porque Yahveh ha hablado.	25 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.
