1 P rofecía sobre el valle de la visión: ¿Qué tienes ahora, que con todos los tuyos has subido sobre los terrados?

The mournful, inspired prediction (a burden to be lifted up) concerning the Valley of Vision: What do you mean that you have all gone up to the housetops,

2 T ú, llena de alborotos, ciudad turbulenta, ciudad alegre; tus muertos no son muertos a espada ni muertos en guerra.

You who are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous and exultant city? your slain warriors have not met death with the sword or in battle.

3 T odos tus príncipes juntos huyeron del arco, fueron atados; todos los que en ti se hallaron, fueron atados juntamente, aunque habían huido lejos.

All your leaders have fled together; without the bow they have been taken captive and bound by the archers. All of you who were found were bound together, though they had fled far away.

4 P or esto dije: «Dejadme, lloraré amargamente; no os afanéis por consolarme de la destrucción de la hija de mi pueblo.»

Therefore I said, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly. Do not hasten and try to comfort me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.

5 P orque es día de alboroto, de angustia y confusión, de parte del Señor, Jehová de los ejércitos, en el valle de la visión, para derribar el muro y clamar al monte.

For it is a day of discomfiture and of tumult, of treading down, of confusion and perplexity from the Lord God of hosts in the Valley of Vision, a day of breaking down the walls and of crying to the mountains.

6 E lam tomó la aljaba, con carros y con jinetes, y Kir sacó el escudo.

And Elam take up the quiver, with troops in chariots, infantry, and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

7 T us hermosos valles se llenaron de carros, y los jinetes acamparon junto a la puerta.

And it came to pass that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen took their station.

8 C ayeron las defensas de Judá, y en aquel día miraste hacia la casa de armas del bosque.

Then removed the protective covering of Judah; and you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest in that day.

9 V isteis las brechas de la ciudad de David, que se multiplicaron; y recogisteis las aguas del estanque de abajo.

You saw that the breaches of the City of David were many; you collected the waters of the Lower Pool.

10 C ontasteis entonces las casas de Jerusalén y derribasteis casas para fortificar el muro.

And you numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.

11 H icisteis foso entre los dos muros para las aguas del estanque viejo; pero no tuvisteis respeto al que lo hizo, ni mirasteis al que desde antiguo lo había planeado.

You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the Old Pool, but you did not look to the Maker of it, nor did you recognize Him Who planned it long ago.

12 P or tanto, el Señor, Jehová de los ejércitos, llamó en este día a llanto y a lamentación, a raparse el cabello y a vestir ropas ásperas.

And in that day the Lord God of hosts called you to weeping and mourning, to the shaving off of all your hair and to the girding with sackcloth.

13 M as hubo gozo y alegría matando vacas y degollando ovejas, comiendo carne, bebiendo vino y diciendo: «¡Comamos y bebamos, porque mañana moriremos!»

But instead, see the pleasure and mirth, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!

14 E sto fue revelado a mis oídos de parte de Jehová de los ejércitos: «Este pecado no os será perdonado hasta que muráis», dice el Señor, Jehová de los ejércitos. Sebna, sustituido por Eliaquim

And the Lord of hosts revealed Himself in my ears, Surely this unatoned sin shall not be purged from you until death, says the Lord God of hosts.

15 J ehová de los ejércitos dice así: «Ve a encontrarte con este tesorero, con Sebna el mayordomo, y dile:

Come, go to this steward and treasurer, to Shebna, who is over the house, and say to him,

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

What business have you here? And whom have you entombed here, that you have the right to hew out for yourself a tomb here? He hews out a sepulcher for himself on the height! He carves out a dwelling for himself in the rock!

17 H e aquí que Jehová te transportará en duro cautiverio, y de cierto te cubrirá el rostro.

Behold, the Lord will hurl you away violently, O you strong man; yes, He will take tight hold of you and He will surely cover you.

18 T e echará a rodar con ímpetu, como a una bola por tierra extensa; allá morirás y allá estarán los carros de tu gloria, ¡vergüenza de la casa de tu señor!

He will surely roll you up in a bundle and toss you like a ball into a large country; there you will die and there will be your splendid chariots, you disgrace to your master’s house!

19 T e arrojaré de tu lugar y de tu puesto te empujaré.

And I will thrust you from your office, and from your station will you be pulled down.

20 » ”En aquel día llamaré a mi siervo Eliaquim, hijo de Hilcías.

And in that day I will call My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

21 L o vestiré con tus vestiduras, lo ceñiré con tu talabarte y entregaré en sus manos tu autoridad; y él será un padre para el morador de Jerusalén y para la casa de Judá.

And I will clothe him with your robe and will bind your girdle on him and will commit your authority to his hand; he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

22 Y pondré la llave de la casa de David sobre su hombro: él abrirá y nadie cerrará, cerrará y nadie abrirá.

And the key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder; he shall open and no one shall shut, he shall shut and no one shall open.

23 L o hincaré como un clavo en lugar firme y será motivo de honra para la casa de su padre.

And I will fasten him like a peg or nail in a firm place; and he will become a throne of honor and glory to his father’s house.

24 C olgarán de él toda la honra de la casa de su padre, los hijos y los nietos, todos los vasos menores, desde las tazas hasta toda clase de jarros.

And they will hang on him the honor and the whole weight of his father’s house: the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flasks and big bulging bottles.

25 » ”Aquel día, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, el clavo hincado en lugar firme será quitado; será quebrado y caerá. Y la carga que sobre él se puso se echará a perder; porque Jehová ha hablado.”»

In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the nail or peg that was fastened into the sure place shall give way and be moved and be hewn down and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the Lord has spoken it.
