WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 For behold, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, || Is turning aside from Jerusalem and from Judah || [Both] stay and staff: Every stay of bread and every stay of 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 Mighty and man of war, judge and prophet, || And diviner and elderly,

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 Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, || And counselor, and wise craftsmen, || And discerning charmer.

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 have made youths their heads, || And sucklings 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 has exacted—man on man, || Even a man on his neighbor, || The youths enlarge themselves against the aged, || And the lightly esteemed against the honored.

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 When one lays hold on his brother, || Of the house of his father, [by] the garment, “Come, you are a ruler to us, || And this ruin [is] 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 He lifts up, in that day, saying, “I am not a binder up, || And in my house is neither bread nor garment, || You do not make me a ruler 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 has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, || For their tongue and their doings [are] against YHWH, || To provoke the eyes of His glory.

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 appearance of their faces witnessed against them, || And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, || They have not hidden! Woe to their soul, || For they have done evil to themselves.

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 Say to the righteous that [it is] good, || Because they eat the fruit of their doings.

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 wicked—evil, || Because the deed of his hand is done to him.

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 My people—its exactors [are] sucklings, || And women have ruled over it. My people—your eulogists are causing to err, || And the way of your paths swallowed up.

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 YHWH has stood up to plead, || And He is standing to judge the peoples.

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 YHWH enters into judgment || With [the] elderly of His people, and its heads: “And you, you have consumed the vineyard, || Plunder of the poor [is] in your houses.

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? Why do you [do this]? You bruise My people, || And you grind the faces of the poor.” A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, || And YHWH says:

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 “Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, || And they walk stretching out the neck, || And deceiving [with] the eyes, || They go walking and mincing, || And they make a jingling with their feet,

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 has also scabbed || The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, || And YHWH exposes their simplicity.

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 turns aside || The beauty of the jingling ornaments, || And of the embroidered works, || And of the crescents,

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 Of the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils,

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

19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,

20 Of the headdresses, and the ornaments of the legs, || And of the bands, || And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets,

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 Of the seals, and of the nose-rings,

21 Los anillos, y los joyeles de las narices;

21 the signet rings, the nose rings,

22 Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, || And of the coverings, and of the purses,

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

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

23 Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, || And of the hoods, and of the veils,

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 it has been, instead of spice is muck, || And instead of a girdle, a rope, || And instead of curled work, baldness, || And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.

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 For instead of glory, your men fall by sword, || And your might 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 openings have lamented and mourned, || Indeed, she has been emptied, she sits on the earth!”

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).
