Isaías 28

BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ¡Ay, corona de arrogancia - borrachos de Efraím - y capullo marchito - gala de su adorno - que está en el cabezo del valle fértil, aficionados al vino!	1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower the glory of his joy, who were on the head of the fat valley, staggering with wine.
2 He aquí que uno, fuerte y robusto, enviado por el Señor, como una granizada, como huracán devastador, como aguacero torrencial de desbordadas aguas, los echará a tierra con la mano.	2 Behold the Lord is mighty and strong, as a storm of hail: a destroying whirlwind, as the violence of many waters overflowing, and sent forth upon a spacious land.
3 Con los pies será hollada la corona de arrogancia, los borrachos de Efraím,	3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet.
4 y el capullo marchito, gala de su adorno, que está en el cabezo del valle fértil; y serán como la breva que precede al verano, que, en cuanto la ve uno, la toma con la mano y se la come.	4 And the fading flower the glory of his joy, who is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as a hasty fruit before the ripeness of autumn: which when he that seeth it shall behold, as soon as he taketh it in his hand, he will eat it up.
5 Aquel día será Yahveh Sebaot corona de gala, diadema de adorno para el resto de su pueblo,	5 In that day the Lord of hosts shall be a crown of glory, and a garland of joy to the residue of his people:
6 espíritu de juicio para el que se siente en el tribunal, y energía para los que rechazan hacia la puerta a los atacantes.	6 And a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that return out of the battle to the gate.
7 También ésos por el vino desatinan y por el licor divagan: sacerdotes y profetas desatinan por el licor, se ahogan en vino, divagan por causa del licor, desatinan en sus visiones, titubean en sus decisiones.	7 But these also have been ignorant through wine, and through drunkenness have erred: the priest and the prophet have been ignorant through drunkenness, they are swallowed up with wine, they have gone astray in drunkenness, they have not known him that seeth, they have been ignorant of judgment.
8 Porque todas las mesas están cubiertas de vómito asqueroso, sin respetar sitio.	8 For all tables were full of vomit and filth, so that there was no more place.
9 «¿A quién se instruirá en el conocimiento? ¿a quién se le hará entender lo que oye? A los recién destetados, a los retirados de los pechos.	9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the hearing? them that are weaned from the milk, that are drawn away from the breasts.
10 Porque dice: Sau la sau, sau la sau, cau la cau, cau la cau, zeer sam, zeer sam».	10 For command, command again; command, command again; expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there.
11 Sí, con palabras extrañas y con lengua extranjera hablará a este pueblo	11 For with the speech of lips, and with another tongue he will speak to this people.
12 él, que les había dicho: «¡Ahora, descanso! Dejad reposar al fatigado. ¡Ahora, calma!» Pero ellos no han querido escuchar.	12 To whom he said: This is my rest, refresh the weary, and this is my refreshing: and they would not hear.
13 Ahora Yahveh les dice: «Sau la sau, sau la sau, cau la cau, cau la cau, zeer sam, zeer sam», de suerte que vayan y caigan hacia atrás y se fracturen, caigan en la trampa y sean presos.	13 And the word of the Lord shall be to them: Command, command again; command, command again: expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there: that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Por tanto oíd la palabra de Yahveh, hombres burlones, señores de este pueblo de Jerusalén.	14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, who rule over my people that is in Jerusalem.
15 Porque habéis dicho: «Hemos celebrado alianza con la muerte, y con el seol hemos hecho pacto, cuando pasare el azote desbordado, no nos alcanzará, porque hemos puesto la mentira por refugio nuestro y en el engaño nos hemos escondido».	15 For you have said : We have entered into a league with death, and we have made a covenant with hell. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come upon us: for we have placed our hope in lies, and by falsehood we are protected.
16 Por eso, así dice el Señor Yahveh: «He aquí que yo pongo por fundamento en Sión una piedra elegida, angular, preciosa y fundamental: quien tuviere fe en ella no vacilará.	16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will lay a stone in the foundations of Sion, a tried stone, a corner stone, a precious stone, founded in the foundation. He that believeth, let him not hasten.
17 Pondré la equidad como medida y la justicia como nivel». Barrerá el granizo el refugio de mentira y las aguas inundarán el escondite.	17 And I will set judgment in weight, and justice in measure: and hail shall overturn the hope of falsehood: and waters shall overflow its protection.
18 Será rota vuestra alianza con la muerte y vuestro pacto con el seol no se mantendrá. Cuando pasare el azote desbordado, os aplastará.	18 And Sour league with death shall be abolished, and your covenant with hell shall not stand: when the overflowing scourge shall pass, you shall be trodden down by it.
19 Siempre que pase os alcanzará. Porque mañana tras mañana pasará, de día y de noche, y habrá estremecimiento sólo con oírlo.	19 Whensoever it shall pass through, it shall take you away: because in the morning early it shall pass through, in the day and in the night, and vexation alone shall make you understand what you hear.
20 La cama será corta para poder estirarse y el cobertor será estrecho para poder taparse.	20 For the bed is straitened, so that one must fall out, and a short covering cannot cover both.
21 Porque como en el monte Perasim surgirá Yahveh, como en el valle de Gabaón se enfurecerá para hacer su acción, su extraña acción, y para trabajar su trabajo, su exótico trabajo.	21 For the Lord shall stand up as in the mountain of divisions: he shall be angry as in the valley which is in Gabaon: that he may do his work, his strange work: that he may perform his work, his work is strange to him.
22 Ahora no os burléis, no sea que se aprieten vuestras ligaduras. Porque cosa concluida y decidida he oído de parte de Yahveh Sebaot, tocante a toda la tierra.	22 And now do not mock, lest your bonds be tied strait. For I have heard of the Lord the God of hosts a consumption and a cutting short upon all the earth.
23 Escuchad y oíd mi voz, atended y oíd mi palabra.	23 Give ear, and hear my voice, hearken, and hear my speech.
24 ¿Acaso cada día ara al arador para sembrar, abre y rompe su terreno?	24 Shall the ploughman plough all the day to sow, shall he open and harrow his ground?
25 Luego que ha igualado su superficie, ¿no esparce la neguilla, y desparrama el comino, y pone trigo, cebada y espelta, cada cosa en su tablar?	25 Will he not, when he hath made plain the surface thereof, sow gith, and scatter cummin, and put wheat in order, and barley, and millet, and vetches in their bounds?
26 Quien le enseña esta usanza, quien le instruye es su Dios.	26 For he will instruct him in judgment : his God will teach him.
27 Porque no con el trillo es trillada la neguilla, ni se hace girar rueda de carreta sobre el comino; sino que con el bastón es apaleada la neguilla, y el comino con la vara.	27 For gith shall not be thrashed with saws, neither shall the cart wheel turn about upon cummin: but gith shall be beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a staff.
28 ¿Se tritura el grano? No. No se le trilla indefinidamente; se hace girar la rueda de la carreta, y se le limpia, pero sin triturarlo.	28 But bread corn shall be broken small: but the thrasher shall not thrash it for ever, neither shall the cart wheel hurt it, nor break it with its teeth.
29 También esto de Yahveh Sebaot ha salido: trazar un plan maravilloso, llevar a un gran acierto.	29 This also is come forth from the Lord God of hosts, to make his counsel wonderful, and magnify justice.
