Isaiah 16 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Send lambs as tribute to the ruler of the land, from Sela through the desert, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
1 ENVIAD cordero al enseñoreador de la tierra, desde la Piedra del desierto al monte de la hija de Sión.
2 The Moabite women at the fords of the Arnon are like birds fluttering around when their nest is destroyed.
2 Y será que cual ave espantada que se huye de su nido, así serán las hijas de Moab en los vados de Arnón.
3 Think about it and make a decision. Make your shadow as invisible at midday as during the night. Hide the refugees; don't betray them as they run away.
3 Reune consejo, haz juicio; pon tu sombra en medio del día como la noche: esconde los desterrados, no entregues á los que andan errantes.
4 Let my refugees stay among you, Moab. Hide them from our enemies until the destroyer is no more, the destruction is over, and the aggressive invaders have gone.
4 Moren contigo mis desterrados, oh Moab; séles escondedero de la presencia del destruidor: porque el atormentador fenecerá, el destruidor tendrá fin, el hollador será consumido de sobre la tierra.
5 Then a kingdom will be set up based on trustworthy love, and on its throne will sit a faithful king from the line of David. He will judge fairly, and will be passionately committed to doing what is right.
5 Y dispondráse trono en misericordia; y sobre él se sentará firmemente, en el tabernáculo de David, quien juzgue y busque el juicio, y apresure la justicia.
6 We know all about the pride of the Moabites, how terribly vain and conceited they are, completely arrogant! But their boasting is false.
6 Oído hemos la soberbia de Moab, por extremo soberbio; su soberbia y su arrogancia, y su altivez; mas sus mentiras no serán firmes.
7 All the Moabites grieve for Moab. They all mourn the loss of the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth, all of them destroyed.
7 Por tanto aullará Moab, todo él aullará: gemiréis por los fundamentos de Kir-hareseth, en gran manera heridos.
8 Heshbon's fields have dried up, as have Sibmah's grapevines. The rulers of the nations have trampled down the vines that once branched out to Jazer and east towards the desert, and west as far as the sea.
8 Porque los campos de Hesbón fueron talados, [y] las vides de Sibma; señores de gentes hollaron sus [generosos] sarmientos; habían llegado hasta Jazer, [y] extendídose por el desierto; extendiéronse sus plantas, pasaron la mar.
9 So I cry with Jazer for Sibmah's vines; I soak Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears. Nobody shouts in celebration over your summer fruit and your harvest any more.
9 Por lo cual lamentaré con lloro de Jazer la viña de Sibma; embriagarte hé de mis lágrimas, oh Hesbón y Eleale: porque sobre tus cosechas y sobre tu siega caerá la algazara.
10 Joy and happiness are gone. Nobody celebrates in the harvest fields or the vineyards; nobody shouts happily. Nobody treads grapes in the winepresses. I have stopped their cheering.
10 Quitado es el gozo y la alegría del campo fértil; en las viñas no cantarán, ni se regocijarán; no pisará vino en los lagares el pisador: la canción he hecho cesar.
11 Heartbroken I cry for Moab like sad music on a harp; deep inside I weep for Kir-hareseth.
11 Por tanto mis entrañas sonarán como arpa acerca de Moab, y mi interior en orden á Kir-hareseth.
12 The Moabites go and wear themselves out worshiping at their high places. They go to their shrines to pray, but it does them no good.
12 Y acaecerá, que cuando Moab pareciere que está cansado sobre los altos, entonces vendrá á su santuario á orar, y no le valdrá.
13 This is the message that the Lord has already delivered about Moab.
13 Esta es la palabra que pronunció Jehová sobre Moab desde aquel tiempo.
14 But now the Lord speaks again, and says, In three years, just as a contract worker precisely counts years, Moab's glory will turn into something to be laughed at. Despite there being so many Moabites now, soon there will only be a few feeble people left.
14 Empero ahora Jehová ha hablado, diciendo: Dentro de tres años, como años de mozo de soldada, será abatida la gloria de Moab, con toda su grande multitud: y los residuos serán pocos, pequeños, y no fuertes.
