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

The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, 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 that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead 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 rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They 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. Don’t labor to comfort me for 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 confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.”

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

Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

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

Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.

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

He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.

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

You saw the breaches of David’s city, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

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

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 didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed 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.

In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to dressing in 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!»

and behold, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will 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

Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

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

Thus says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,

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 are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”

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

Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.

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 wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord’s house.

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

I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.

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

It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the 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 strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will 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.

I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.

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

I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of 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.

They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.

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 Yahweh of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it.”
