WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.

1 HE aquí que Jehová vacía la tierra, y la desnuda, y trastorna su haz, y hace esparcir sus moradores.

1 Behold, Yahweh makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.

2 And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.

2 Y será como el pueblo, tal el sacerdote; como el siervo, tal su señor; como la criada, tal su señora; tal el que compra, como el que vende; tal el que da emprestado, como el que toma prestado; tal el que da á logro, como el que lo recibe.

2 It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.

3 The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.

3 Del todo será vaciada la tierra, y enteramente saqueada; porque Jehová ha pronunciado esta palabra.

3 The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for Yahweh has spoken this word.

4 The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.

4 Destruyóse, cayó la tierra; enfermó, cayó el mundo; enfermaron los altos pueblos de la tierra.

4 The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.

5 The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.

5 Y la tierra se inficionó bajo sus moradores; porque traspasaron las leyes, falsearon el derecho, rompieron el pacto sempiterno.

5 The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.

6 For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.

6 Por esta causa la maldición consumió la tierra, y sus moradores fueron asolados; por esta causa fueron consumidos los habitantes de la tierra, y se disminuyeron los hombres.

6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.

7 The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.

7 Perdióse el vino, enfermó la vid, gimieron todos los que eran alegres de corazón.

7 The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.

8 The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.

8 Cesó el regocijo de los panderos, acabóse el estruendo de los que se huelgan, paró la alegría del arpa.

8 The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.

9 There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.

9 No beberán vino con cantar: la bebida será amarga á los que la bebieren.

9 They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.

10 The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.

10 Quebrantada está la ciudad de la vanidad; toda casa se ha cerrado, porque no entre nadie.

10 The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.

11 Voces sobre el vino en las plazas; todo gozo se oscureció, desterróse la alegría de la tierra.

11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.

12 In the town all is waste, and in the public place is destruction.

12 En la ciudad quedó soledad, y con asolamiento fué herida la puerta.

12 The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.

13 For it will be in the heart of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive-tree, as the last of the grapes after the getting-in is done.

13 Porque así será en medio de la tierra, en medio de los pueblos, como aceituno sacudido, como rebuscos acabada la vendimia.

13 For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.

14 But those will be making sounds of joy; they will be crying loudly from the sea for the glory of the Lord.

14 Estos alzarán su voz, cantarán gozosos en la grandeza de Jehová, desde la mar darán voces.

14 These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of Yahweh. They cry aloud from the sea.

15 Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.

15 Glorificad por esto á Jehová en los valles: en islas de la mar sea nombrado Jehová Dios de Israel.

15 Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!

16 From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.

16 De lo postrero de la tierra oímos salmos: Gloria al justo. Y yo dije: ¡Mi flaqueza, mi flaqueza, ay de mí! Prevaricadores han prevaricado; y han prevaricado con prevaricación de desleales.

16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.

17 Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.

17 Terror y sima y lazo sobre ti, oh morador de la tierra.

17 Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit the earth.

18 And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.

18 Y acontecerá que el que huirá de la voz del terror, caerá en la sima; y el que saliere de en medio de la sima, será preso del lazo: porque de lo alto se abrieron ventanas, y temblarán los fundamentos de la tierra.

18 It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.

19 The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.

19 Quebrantaráse del todo la tierra, enteramente desmenuzada será la tierra, en gran manera será la tierra conmovida.

19 The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.

20 The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.

20 Temblará la tierra vacilando como un borracho, y será removida como una choza; y agravaráse sobre ella su pecado, y caerá, y nunca más se levantará.

20 The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.

21 And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.

21 Y acontecerá en aquel día, que Jehová visitará sobre el ejército sublime en lo alto, y sobre los reyes de la tierra [que hay] sobre la tierra.

21 It will happen in that day that Yahweh will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.

22 And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.

22 Y serán amontonados como se amontonan encarcelados en mazmorra, y en prisión quedarán encerrados, y serán visitados después de muchos días.

22 They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.

23 Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.

23 La luna se avergonzará, y el sol se confundirá, cuando Jehová de los ejércitos reinare en el monte de Sión, y en Jerusalem, y delante de sus ancianos [fuere] glorioso.

23 Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.
