Notes on this text (1)
- Numbers like (22-2) in the text give the Hebrew verse numbering where it differs.
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
1 HE aquí que Jehová vacía la tierra, y la desnuda, y trastorna su haz, y hace esparcir sus moradores.
2 And it shall 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 lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
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.
3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and clean despoiled; for the LORD hath spoken this word.
3 Del todo será vaciada la tierra, y enteramente saqueada; porque Jehová ha pronunciado esta palabra.
4 The earth fainteth and fadeth away, the world faileth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do fail.
4 Destruyóse, cayó la tierra; enfermó, cayó el mundo; enfermaron los altos pueblos de la tierra.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
5 Y la tierra se inficionó bajo sus moradores; porque traspasaron las leyes, falsearon el derecho, rompieron el pacto sempiterno.
6 Therefore hath a curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth waste away, and men are left few.
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.
7 The new wine faileth, the vine fadeth; all the merry-hearted do sigh.
7 Perdióse el vino, enfermó la vid, gimieron todos los que eran alegres de corazón.
8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
8 Cesó el regocijo de los panderos, acabóse el estruendo de los que se huelgan, paró la alegría del arpa.
9 They drink not wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
9 No beberán vino con cantar: la bebida será amarga á los que la bebieren.
10 Broken down is the city of wasteness; every house is shut up, that none may come in.
10 Quebrantada está la ciudad de la vanidad; toda casa se ha cerrado, porque no entre nadie.
11 There is a crying in the streets amidst the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
11 Voces sobre el vino en las plazas; todo gozo se oscureció, desterróse la alegría de la tierra.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten unto ruin.
12 En la ciudad quedó soledad, y con asolamiento fué herida la puerta.
13 For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth, among the peoples, as at the beating of an olive-tree, as at the gleanings when the vintage is done.
13 Porque así será en medio de la tierra, en medio de los pueblos, como aceituno sacudido, como rebuscos acabada la vendimia.
14 Those yonder lift up their voice, they sing for joy; for the majesty of the LORD they shout from the sea:
14 Estos alzarán su voz, cantarán gozosos en la grandeza de Jehová, desde la mar darán voces.
15 'Therefore glorify ye the LORD in the regions of light, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.'
15 Glorificad por esto á Jehová en los valles: en islas de la mar sea nombrado Jehová Dios de Israel.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: 'Glory to the righteous.' But I say: I waste away, I waste away, woe is me! The treacherous deal treacherously; yea, the treacherous deal very treacherously.
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.
17 Terror, and the pit, and the trap, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
17 Terror y sima y lazo sobre ti, oh morador de la tierra.
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake;
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.
19 The earth is broken, broken down, the earth is crumbled in pieces, the earth trembleth and tottereth;
19 Quebrantaráse del todo la tierra, enteramente desmenuzada será la tierra, en gran manera será la tierra conmovida.
20 The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, and swayeth to and fro as a lodge; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise 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.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will punish the host of the high heaven on high, and the kings of the earth upon 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.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be punished.
22 Y serán amontonados como se amontonan encarcelados en mazmorra, y en prisión quedarán encerrados, y serán visitados después de muchos días.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His elders shall be Glory.
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.
