Isaías 24

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 He aquí que Yahveh estraga la tierra, la despuebla, trastorna su superficie y dispersa a los habitantes de ella:	1 Behold, the Lord will lay waste to the earth, and he will strip it, and he will afflict its surface, and he will scatter its inhabitants.
2 al pueblo como al sacerdote; al siervo como al señor; a la criada como a su señora; al que compra como al que vende; al que presta como al prestatario; al acreedor como a su deudor.	2 And this shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; and as with the servant, so with his master; as with the handmaid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 Devastada será la tierra y del todo saqueada, porque así ha hablado Yahveh.	3 The earth will be utterly devastated and utterly plundered. For the Lord has spoken this word.
4 En duelo se marchitó la tierra, se amustia, se marchita el orbe, el cielo con la tierra se marchita.	4 The earth mourned, and slipped away, and languished. The world slipped away; the loftiness of the people of the earth was weakened.
5 La tierra ha sido profanada bajo sus habitantes, pues traspasaron las leyes, violaron el precepto, rompieron la alianza eterna.	5 And the earth was corrupted by its inhabitants. For they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have dissipated the everlasting covenant.
6 Por eso una maldición ha devorado la tierra, y tienen la culpa los que habitan en ella. Por eso han sido consumidos los habitantes de la tierra, y quedan pocos del linaje humano.	6 Because of this, a curse will devour the earth, and its inhabitants will sin. And for this reason, its caretakers will become crazed, and few men will be left behind.
7 El mosto estaba triste, la viña mustia: se trocaron en suspiros todas las alegrías del corazón.	7 The vintage has mourned. The vine has languished. All those who were rejoicing in their hearts have groaned.
8 Cesó el alborozo de los tímpanos, suspendióse el estrépito de los alegres, cesó el alborozo del arpa.	8 The gladness of the drums has ceased. The sound of rejoicing has quieted. The sweetness of stringed instruments has been silenced.
9 No beben vino cantando: amarga el licor a sus bebedores.	9 They will not drink wine with a song. The drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 Ha quedado la villa vacía, ha sido cerrada toda casa, y no se puede entrar.	10 The city of vanity has been worn away. Every house has been closed up; no one enters.
11 Se lamentan en las calles por el vino. Desapareció toda alegría, emigró el alborozo de la tierra.	11 There will be a clamor for wine in the streets. All rejoicing has been abandoned. The gladness of the earth has been carried away.
12 Ha quedado en la ciudad soledad, y de desolación está herida la puerta.	12 Solitude is what remains in the city, and calamity will overwhelm its gates.
13 Porque en medio de la tierra, en mitad de los pueblos, pasa como en el vareo del olivo, como en los rebuscos cuando acaba la vendimia.	13 For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people: it is as if the few remaining olives are being shaken from the olive tree, and it is like a few clusters of grapes, when the grape harvest has already ended.
14 Ellos levantan su voz y lanzan hurras; la majestad de Yahveh aclaman desde el mar.	14 These few shall lift up their voice and give praise. When the Lord will have been glorified, they will make a joyful noise from the sea.
15 Por eso, en Oriente glorificad a Yahveh, en las islas del mar el nombre de Yahveh, Dios de Israel.	15 Because of this, glorify the Lord in doctrine: the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
16 Desde el confín de la tierra cánticos hemos oído: «¡Gloria al justo!» Y digo: «¡Menguado de mí, menguado de mí! ¡Ay de mí, y de estos malvados que hacen maldad, los maldados que han consumado la maldad!»	16 From the ends of the earth, we have heard the praises of the glory of the Just One. And I said: “My secret is for myself! My secret is for myself! Woe to me! Those who would betray us have betrayed us, and they have betrayed us with the betrayal of transgression.”
17 ¡Pánico, hoya y trampa contra ti, morador de la tierra!	17 Dread, and the pit, and the snare are over you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 Sucederá que el que escape del pánico, caerá en la hoya, y el que suba de la hoya, será preso en la trampa. Porque las esclusas de lo alto han sido abiertas, y se estremecen los cimientos de la tierra,	18 And this shall be: whoever will flee from the voice of dread will fall into the pit. And whoever will extricate himself from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the floodgates from above have been opened, and the foundations of the earth will be shaken.
19 Estalla, estalla la tierra, se hace pedazos la tierra, sacudida se bambolea la tierra,	19 The earth will be utterly broken! The earth will be utterly crushed! The earth will be utterly shaken!
20 vacila, vacila la tierra como un beodo, se balancea como una cabaña; pesa sobre ella su rebeldía, cae, y no volverá a levantarse.	20 The earth will stagger greatly, like a drunken man, and will be carried away, like the tent of a single night. And its iniquity will be heavy upon it, and it will fall and not rise up again.
21 Aquel día castigará Yahveh al ejército de lo alto en lo alto y a los reyes de la tierra en la tierra;	21 And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will visit upon the armies of the sky above, and upon the kings of the earth who are on the ground.
22 serán amontonados en montón los prisioneros en el pozo, serán encerrados en la cárcel y al cabo de muchos días serán visitados.	22 And they will be gathered together like the gathering of one bundle into a pit. And they will be enclosed in that place, as in a prison. And after many days, they will be visited.
23 Se afrentará la luna llena, se avergonzará el pleno sol, cuando reine Yahveh Sebaot en el monte Sión y en Jerusalén, y esté la Gloria en presencia de sus ancianos.	23 And the moon will be ashamed, and the sun will be confounded, when the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and when he will have been glorified in the sight of his elders.
