Isaiah 21 Free Bible Version

1 A message about the desert by the sea. Like storm winds passing through the Negev, something is coming 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.
2 a horrifying vision that has been explained to me. The betrayer still betrays; the destroyer still destroys. Elamites and Medes, go ahead, attack and lay siege to Babylon, for I'm putting a stop to all the pain it has caused.
2 Visión dura me ha sido mostrada. El prevaricador prevarica, y el destructor destruye. Sube, Persa; cerca, Medo. Todo su gemido hice cesar.
3 As a result my body is filled with agony. I'm overwhelmed with pain, like the pain of a woman giving birth. I am confused by what I hear; I am distressed by what I 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.
4 My mind falters; I shake in panic. The night I looked forward to has become terrifying.
4 Pasmóse mi corazón, el horror me ha intimidado; la noche de mi deseo se me tornó en espanto.
5 They set the table, they spread out the rugs, they eat and drink… “Get up, officers! Prepare your shields for battle!”
5 Pon la mesa, mira del atalaya, come, bebe: levantaos, príncipes, ungid el escudo.
6 This is what the Lord told me: “Go! Have a lookout keep watch, and make sure he reports what he sees.
6 Porque el Señor me dijo así: Ve, pon centinela que haga saber lo que viere.
7 When he sees chariots coming pulled by pairs of horses, riders on donkeys and on camels, he should watch very carefully, paying close attention.”
7 Y vió un carro de un par de caballeros, un carro de asno, y un carro de camello. Luego miró muy más atentamente.
8 Then the lookout shouted “Sir, I've stood here on the watchtower day after day; night after night I've remained 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:
9 Now look! A man in a chariot with a pair of horses is coming.” Then he said, “Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All the idols of its gods lie smashed 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.
10 My poor downtrodden people, so badly mistreated, I have told you what I have heard from the Lord Almighty, 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.
11 A message about Edom. A voice is calling to me from Seir, asking, “Watchman, what time of night is it? Watchman, what time of night is it?”
11 Carga de Duma. Danme voces de Seir: Guarda, ¿qué de la noche? Guarda, ¿qué de la noche?
12 The watchman replies, “Morning is coming, but the night is coming again soon. If you want to ask again, then come back and ask.”
12 El guarda respondió: La mañana viene, y después la noche: si preguntareis, preguntad; volved, venid.
13 A message about Arabia. Caravans from Dedan, spend the night in the bushes.
13 Carga sobre Arabia. En el monte tendréis la noche en Arabia, oh caminantes de Dedanim.
14 People of Tema, take water to the thirsty, 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.
15 They're running away from a fierce battle, from swords, drawn swords, from bows and arrows.
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.
16 This is what the Lord told me: “Within one year, just as a contract worker precisely counts years, 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;
17 There will only be a few left of the archers, the warriors of Kedar.” 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.
