Isaías 13
|
| The word of the Lord about Babylon which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw. | CARGA de Babilonia, que vió Isaías, hijo de Amoz. |
| Put up a flag on a clear mountain-top, make a loud outcry to them, give directions with the hand, so that they may go into the doors of the great ones. | Levantad bandera sobre un alto monte; alzad la voz á ellos, alzad la mano, para que entren por puertas de príncipes. |
| I have given orders to my holy ones, I have sent out my men of war, those of mine who take pride in their power, to give effect to my wrath. | Yo mandé á mis santificados, asimismo llamé á mis valientes para mi ira, á los que se alegran con mi gloria. |
| The noise of great numbers in the mountains, like the noise of a strong people! The noise of the kingdoms of the nations meeting together! The Lord of armies is numbering his forces for war. | Murmullo de multitud en los montes, como de mucho pueblo; murmullo de ruido de reinos, de gentes reunidas: Jehová de los ejércitos ordena las tropas de la batalla. |
| They come from a far country, from the farthest part of heaven, even the Lord and the instruments of his wrath, with destruction for all the land. | Vienen de lejana tierra, de lo postrero de los cielos, Jehová y los instrumentos de su furor, para destruir toda la tierra. |
| Send out a cry of grief; for the day of the Lord is near; it comes as destruction from the Most High. | Aullad, porque cerca está el día de Jehová; vendrá como asolamiento del Todopoderoso. |
| For this cause all hands will be feeble, and every heart of man be turned to water; | Por tanto, se enervarán todas la manos, y desleiráse todo corazón de hombre: |
| Their hearts will be full of fear; pains and sorrows will overcome them; they will be in pain like a woman in childbirth; they will be shocked at one another; their faces will be like flames. | Y se llenarán de terror; angustias y dolores los comprenderán; tendrán dolores como mujer de parto; pasmaráse cada cual al mirar á su compañero; sus rostros, rostros de llamas. |
| See, the day of the Lord is coming, cruel, with wrath and burning passion: to make the land a waste, driving the sinners in it to destruction. | He aquí el día de Jehová viene, crudo, y de saña y ardor de ira, para tornar la tierra en soledad, y raer de ella sus pecadores. |
| For the stars of heaven and its bright armies will not give their light: the sun will be made dark in his journey through the heaven, and the moon will keep back her light. | Por lo cual las estrellas de los cielos y sus luceros no derramarán su lumbre; y el sol se oscurecerá en naciendo, y la luna no echará su resplandor. |
| And I will send punishment on the world for its evil, and on the sinners for their wrongdoing; and I will put an end to all pride, and will make low the power of the cruel. | Y visitaré la maldad sobre el mundo, y sobre los impíos su iniquidad; y haré que cese la arrogancia de los soberbios, y abatiré la altivez de los fuertes. |
| I will make men so small in number, that a man will be harder to get than gold, even the best gold of Ophir. | Haré más precioso que el oro fino al varón, y más que el oro de Ophir al hombre. |
| For this cause the heavens will be shaking, and the earth will be moved out of its place, in the wrath of the Lord of armies, and in the day of his burning passion. | Porque haré estremecer los cielos, y la tierra se moverá de su lugar, en la indignación de Jehová de los ejércitos, y en el día de la ira de su furor. |
| And it will be that, like a roe in flight, and like wandering sheep, they will go every man to his people and to his land. | Y será que como corza amontada, y como oveja sin pastor, cada cual mirará hacia su pueblo, y cada uno huirá á su tierra. |
| Everyone who is overtaken will have a spear put through him, and everyone who goes in flight will be put to the sword. | Cualquiera que fuere hallado, será alanceado; y cualquiera que á ellos se juntare, caerá á cuchillo. |
| Their young children will be broken up before their eyes; their goods will be taken away, and their wives made the property of others. | Sus niños serán estrellados delante de ellos; sus casas serán saqueadas, y forzadas sus mujeres. |
| See, I am driving the Medes against them, who put no value on silver and have no pleasure in gold. | He aquí que yo despierto contra ellos á los Medos, que no curarán de la plata, ni codiciarán oro. |
| In their hands are bows and spears; they are cruel, violently putting the young men to death, and crushing the young women; they have no pity for children, and no mercy for the fruit of the body. | Y con arcos tirarán á los niños, y no tendrán misericordia de fruto de vientre, ni su ojo perdonará á hijos. |
| And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beautiful town which is the pride of the Chaldaeans, will be like God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. | Y Babilonia, hermosura de reinos y ornamento de la grandeza de los Caldeos, será como Sodoma y Gomorra, á las que trastornó Dios. |
| People will never be living in it again, and it will have no more men from generation to generation: the Arab will not put up his tent there; and those who keep sheep will not make it a resting-place for their flocks. | Nunca más será habitada, ni se morará en ella de generación en generación; ni hincará allí tienda el Arabe, ni pastores tendrán allí majada: |
| But the beasts of the waste land will have their holes there; and the houses will be full of crying jackals, and ostriches will have their place there, and evil spirits will be dancing there. | Sino que dormirán allí bestias fieras, y sus casas se llenarán de hurones, allí habitarán hijas del buho, y allí saltarán peludos. |
| And wolves will be answering one another in their towers, and jackals in their houses of pleasure: her time is near, and her days of power will quickly be ended. | Y en sus palacios gritarán gatos cervales, y chacales en sus casas de deleite: y abocado está á venir su tiempo, y sus días no se alargarán. |
