1 The word about Damascus. See, they have made Damascus a town no longer; it has become a waste place.
1 CARGA de Damasco. He aquí que Damasco dejó de ser ciudad, y será montón de ruina.
1 The burden of Damascus. “Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.
2 Her towns are unpeopled for ever; there the flocks take their rest in peace, without fear.
2 Las ciudades de Aroer desamparadas, en majadas se tornarán; dormirán allí, y no habrá quien los espante.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.
3 The strong tower has gone from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: the rest of Aram will come to destruction, and be made like the glory of the children of Israel, says the Lord of armies.
3 Y cesará el socorro de Ephraim, y el reino de Damasco; y lo que quedare de Siria, será como la gloria de los hijos de Israel, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
3 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” says Yahweh of Armies.
4 And it will be in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made small, and the strength of his body will become feeble.
4 Y será que en aquel tiempo la gloria de Jacob se atenuará, y enflaqueceráse la grosura de su carne.
4 “It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
5 And it will be like a man cutting the growth of his grain, pulling together the heads of the grain with his arm; even as when they get in the grain in the valley of Rephaim.
5 Y será como cuando el segador coge la mies, y con su brazo siega las espigas: será también como el que coge espigas en el valle de Rephaim.
5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.
6 But it will be like a man shaking an olive-tree, something will still be there, two or three berries on the top of the highest branch, four or five on the outside branches of a fertile tree, says the Lord, the God of Israel.
6 Y quedarán en él rebuscos, como cuando sacuden el aceituno, dos ó tres granos en la punta del ramo, cuatro ó cinco en sus ramas fructíferas, dice Jehová Dios de Israel.
6 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel.
7 In that day a man's heart will be turned to his Maker, and his eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
7 En aquel día mirará el hombre á su Hacedor, y sus ojos contemplarán al Santo de Israel.
7 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
8 He will not be looking to the altars, the work of his hands, or to the wood pillars or to the sun-images which his fingers have made.
8 Y no mirará á los altares que hicieron sus manos, ni mirará á lo que hicieron sus dedos, ni á los bosques, ni á las imágenes del sol.
8 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherah poles or the incense altars.
9 In that day your towns will be like the waste places of the Hivites and the Amorites which the children of Israel took for a heritage, and they will come to destruction.
9 En aquel día las ciudades de su fortaleza serán como los frutos que quedan en los pimpollos y en las ramas, las cuales fueron dejadas á causa de los hijos de Israel; y habrá asolamiento.
9 In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places in the woods and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.
10 For you have not given honour to the God of your salvation, and have not kept in mind the Rock of your strength; for this cause you made a garden of Adonis, and put in it the vine-cuttings of a strange god;
10 Porque te olvidaste del Dios de tu salud, y no te acordaste de la roca de tu fortaleza; por tanto plantarás plantas hermosas, y sembrarás sarmiento extraño.
10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
11 In the day of your planting you were watching its growth, and in the morning your seed was flowering: but its fruit is wasted away in the day of grief and bitter sorrow.
11 El día que las plantares, las harás crecer, y harás que tu simiente brote de mañana; mas la cosecha será arrebatada en el día del coger, y del dolor desesperado.
11 In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 Ah! the voice of peoples, like the loud sounding of the seas, and the thundering of great nations rushing on like the bursting out of waters!
12 ¡Ay! multitud de muchos pueblos que harán ruido como estruendo de la mar: y murmullo de naciones hará alboroto como murmurio de muchas aguas.
12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 But he will put a stop to them, and make them go in flight far away, driving them like the waste of the grain on the tops of the mountains before the wind, and like the circling dust before the storm.
13 Los pueblos harán estrépito á manera de ruido de grandes aguas: mas [Dios] le reprenderá, y huirá lejos; será ahuyentado como el tamo de los montes delante del viento, y como el polvo delante del torbellino.
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
14 In the evening there is fear, and in the morning they are gone. This is the fate of those who take our goods, and the reward of those who violently take our property for themselves.
14 Al tiempo de la tarde he aquí turbación; [y] antes de la mañana ya no es. Esta es la parte de los que nos huellan, y la suerte de los que nos saquean.
14 At evening, behold, terror! Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
