RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 For behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will take away, from Jerusalem and from Judah, the powerful and the strong: all the strength from bread, and all the strength from water;

1 PORQUE he aquí que el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos quita de Jerusalem y de Judá el sustentador y el fuerte, todo sustento de pan y todo socorro de agua;

1 For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;

2 the strong man, and the man of war, the judge and the prophet, and the seer and the elder;

2 El valiente y el hombre de guerra, el juez y el profeta, el adivino y el anciano;

2 the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,

3 the leader over fifty and the honorable in appearance; and the counselor, and the wise among builders, and the skillful in mystical speech.

3 El capitán de cincuenta, y el hombre de respeto, y el consejero, y el artífice excelente, y el hábil orador.

3 the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.

4 And I will provide children as their leaders, and the effeminate will rule over them.

4 Y pondréles mozos por príncipes, y muchachos serán sus señores.

4 I will give boys to be their princes, and children shall rule over them.

5 And the people will rush, man against man, and each one against his neighbor. The child shall rebel against the elder, and the ignoble against the noble.

5 Y el pueblo hará violencia los unos á los otros, cada cual contra su vecino: el mozo se levantará contra el viejo, y el villano contra el noble.

5 The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the wicked against the honorable.

6 For a man will apprehend his brother, from the household of his own father, saying: “The vestment is yours. Be our leader, but let this ruin be under your hand.”

6 Cuando alguno trabare de su hermano, de la familia de su padre, [y le dijere], Que vestir tienes, tú serás nuestro príncipe, y sea en tu mano esta ruina;

6 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, “You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your hand.”

7 In that day, he will respond by saying: “I am not a healer, and there is no bread or vestment in my house. Do not choose to appoint me as a leader of the people.”

7 El jurará aquel día, diciendo: No tomaré ese cuidado; porque en mi casa ni hay pan, ni qué vestir: no me hagáis príncipe del pueblo.

7 In that day he will cry out, saying, “I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.”

8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah has fallen, because their words and their plans are against the Lord, in order to provoke the eyes of his majesty.

8 Pues arruinada está Jerusalem, y Judá ha caído; porque la lengua de ellos y sus obras han sido contra Jehová, para irritar los ojos de su majestad.

8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against Yahweh, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

9 The acknowledgement of their countenance is their response. For they have proclaimed their own sin, like Sodom; and they have not concealed it. Woe to their souls! For evils are being repaid to them.

9 La apariencia del rostro de ellos los convence: que como Sodoma predican su pecado, no lo disimulan. ¡Ay del alma de ellos! porque allegaron mal para sí.

9 The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

10 Tell the just man that it is well, for he shall eat from the fruit from his own plans.

10 Decid al justo que [le irá] bien: porque comerá de los frutos de sus manos.

10 Tell the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.

11 Woe to the impious man immersed in evil! For retribution will be given to him from his own hands.

11 ¡Ay del impío! mal [le irá]: porque según las obras de sus manos le será pagado.

11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them, for the deeds of their hands will be paid back to them.

12 As for my people, their oppressors have despoiled them, and women have ruled over them. My people, who call you blessed, the same are deceiving you and disrupting the path of your steps.

12 Los exactores de mi pueblo son muchachos, y mujeres se enseñorearon de él. Pueblo mío, los que te guían te engañan, y tuercen la carrera de tus caminos.

12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.

13 The Lord stands for judgment, and he stands to judge the people.

13 Jehová está en pie para litigar, y está para juzgar los pueblos.

13 Yahweh stands up to contend, and stands to judge the peoples.

14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and with their leaders. For you have been devouring the vineyard, and the plunder from the poor is in your house.

14 Jehová vendrá á juicio contra los ancianos de su pueblo y contra sus príncipes; porque vosotros habéis devorado la viña, y el despojo del pobre está en vuestras casas.

14 Yahweh will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their leaders: “It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

15 Why do you wear down my people, and grind up the faces of the poor, says the Lord, the God of hosts?

15 ¿Qué pensáis vosotros que majáis mi pueblo, y moléis las caras de los pobres? dice el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos.

15 What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

16 And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Zion have been lifted up, and have walked with extended necks and winking eyes, because they have continued on, walking noisily and advancing with a pretentious stride,

16 Asimismo dice Jehová: Por cuanto las hijas de Sión se ensoberbecen, y andan cuellierguidas y los ojos descompuestos; cuando andan van danzando, y haciendo son con los pies:

16 Moreover Yahweh said, “Because the daughters of Zion are arrogant, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking daintily as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;

17 the Lord will make the heads of the daughters of Zion bald, and the Lord will strip them of the locks of their hair.

17 Por tanto, pelará el Señor la mollera de las hijas de Sión, y Jehová descubrirá sus vergüenzas.

17 therefore the Lord brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and Yahweh will make their scalps bald.”

18 In that day, the Lord will take away their decorative shoes,

18 Aquel día quitará el Señor el atavío de los calzados, y las redecillas, y las lunetas;

18 In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,

19 and the little moons and chains, and the necklaces and bracelets, and the hats,

19 Los collares, y los joyeles, y los brazaletes;

19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,

20 and the ornaments for their hair, and the anklets, and the touches of myrrh and little bottles of perfumes, and the earrings,

20 Las escofietas, y los atavíos de las piernas, los partidores del pelo, los pomitos de olor, y los zarcillos;

20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume containers, the charms,

21 and the rings, and the jewels hanging on their foreheads,

21 Los anillos, y los joyeles de las narices;

21 the signet rings, the nose rings,

22 and the continual changes in appearance, and the short skirts, and the fine linens and embroidered cloths,

22 Las ropas de remuda, los mantoncillos, los velos, y los alfileres;

22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,

23 and the mirrors, and scarves, and ribbons, and their sparse clothing.

23 Los espejos, los pañizuelos, las gasas, y los tocados.

23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.

24 And in place of a sweet fragrance, there will be stench. And in place of a belt, there will be a rope. And in place of stylish hair, there will be baldness. And in place of a blouse, there will be haircloth.

24 Y será que en lugar de los perfumes aromáticos vendrá hediondez; y desgarrón en lugar de cinta; y calvez en lugar de la compostura del cabello; y en lugar de faja ceñimiento de saco; y quemadura en vez de hermosura.

24 It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a wearing of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.

25 Likewise, your most handsome men will fall by the sword, and your strong men will fall in battle.

25 Tus varones caerán á cuchillo, y tu fuerza en la guerra.

25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.

26 And her gates will grieve and mourn. And she will sit on the ground, desolate.

26 Sus puertas se entristecerán y enlutarán, y ella, desamparada, sentaráse en tierra.

26 Her gates shall lament and mourn. She shall be desolate and sit on the ground.

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
