1 This is the burden against the Desert by the Sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping through the Negev, an invader comes from the desert, from a land of terror.
1 CARGA del desierto de la mar. Como los torbellinos que pasan por el desierto en la región del mediodía, [así] vienen de la tierra horrenda.
1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it comes from the wilderness, from an awesome land.
2 A dire vision is declared to me: “The traitor still betrays, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, O Elam! Lay siege, O Media! I will put an end to all her groaning.”
2 Visión dura me ha sido mostrada. El prevaricador prevarica, y el destructor destruye. Sube, Persa; cerca, Medo. Todo su gemido hice cesar.
2 A grievous vision is declared to me. The treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, Elam; attack! I have stopped all of Media’s sighing.
3 Therefore my body is filled with anguish. Pain grips me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am bewildered to hear, I am dismayed to see.
3 Por tanto mis lomos se han llenado de dolor; angustias se apoderaron de mí, como angustias de mujer de parto: agobiéme oyendo, y al ver heme espantado.
3 Therefore my thighs are filled with anguish. Pains have seized me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am in so much pain that I can’t hear. I am so dismayed that I can’t see.
4 My heart falters; fear makes me tremble. The twilight of my desire has turned to horror.
4 Pasmóse mi corazón, el horror me ha intimidado; la noche de mi deseo se me tornó en espanto.
4 My heart flutters. Horror has frightened me. The twilight that I desired has been turned into trembling for me.
5 They prepare a table, they lay out a carpet, they eat, they drink! Rise up, O princes, oil the shields!
5 Pon la mesa, mira del atalaya, come, bebe: levantaos, príncipes, ungid el escudo.
5 They prepare the table. They set the watch. They eat. They drink. Rise up, you princes, oil the shield!
6 For this is what the Lord says to me: “Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees.
6 Porque el Señor me dijo así: Ve, pon centinela que haga saber lo que viere.
6 For the Lord said to me, “Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.
7 When he sees chariots with teams of horsemen, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, he must be alert, fully alert.”
7 Y vió un carro de un par de caballeros, un carro de asno, y un carro de camello. Luego miró muy más atentamente.
7 When he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, a troop of camels, he shall listen diligently with great attentiveness.”
8 Then the lookout shouted: “Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower; night after night I stay at my post.
8 Y gritó como un león: Señor, sobre la atalaya estoy yo continuamente de día, y las noches enteras sobre mi guarda:
8 He cried like a lion: “Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and every night I stay at my post.
9 Look, here come the riders, horsemen in pairs.” And one answered, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon! All the images of her gods lie shattered on the ground!”
9 Y he aquí este carro de hombres viene, un par de caballeros. Después habló, y dijo: Cayó, cayó Babilonia; y todos los ídolos de sus dioses quebrantó en tierra.
9 Behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs.” He answered, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the engraved images of her gods are broken to the ground.
10 O my people, crushed on the threshing floor, I tell you what I have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel.
10 Trilla mía, y paja de mi era: os he dicho lo que oí de Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel.
10 You are my threshing, and the grain of my floor!” That which I have heard from Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, I have declared to you.
11 This is the burden against Dumah: One calls to me from Seir, “Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?”
11 Carga de Duma. Danme voces de Seir: Guarda, ¿qué de la noche? Guarda, ¿qué de la noche?
11 The burden of Dumah. One calls to me out of Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
12 The watchman replies, “Morning has come, but also the night. If you would inquire, then inquire. Come back yet again.”
12 El guarda respondió: La mañana viene, y después la noche: si preguntareis, preguntad; volved, venid.
12 The watchman said, “The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire. Come back again.”
13 This is the burden against Arabia: In the thickets of Arabia you must lodge, O caravans of Dedanites.
13 Carga sobre Arabia. En el monte tendréis la noche en Arabia, oh caminantes de Dedanim.
13 The burden on Arabia. You will lodge in the thickets in Arabia, you caravans of Dedanites.
14 Bring water for the thirsty, O dwellers of Tema; meet the refugees with food.
14 Salid á encontrar al sediento; llevadle aguas, moradores de tierra de Tema, socorred con su pan al que huye.
14 They brought water to him who was thirsty. The inhabitants of the land of Tema met the fugitives with their bread.
15 For they flee from the sword— the sword that is drawn— from the bow that is bent, and from the stress of battle.
15 Porque de la presencia de las espadas huyen, de la presencia de la espada desnuda, de la presencia del arco entesado, de la presencia del peso de la batalla.
15 For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the heat of battle.
16 For this is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker would count it, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.
16 Porque así me ha dicho Jehová: De aquí á un año, semejante á años de mozo de soldada, toda la gloria de Cedar será deshecha;
16 For the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a worker bound by contract would count it, all the glory of Kedar will fail,
17 The remaining archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.” For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.
17 Y las reliquias del número de los valientes flecheros, hijos de Cedar, serán apocadas: porque Jehová Dios de Israel lo ha dicho.
17 and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, will be few; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken it.”
