Isaías 16
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Los moabitas piden asilo en Judá
16 Hagan llegar carneros
al regente del país,
desde la Peña del páramo
hasta el monte Sión.
2 (Como aves desorientadas,
como pájaros sin nido
son las chicas de Moab
al vadear el Arnón).
3 Danos un consejo,
toma una decisión.
Haz de tu sombra una noche
en plena luz del día;
oculta a los que escapan,
no descubras al fugitivo.
4 Que habiten dentro de ti
los escapados de Moab.
Sírveles de refugio
frente al devastador.
Cuando no haya opresión
y acabe la devastación,
cuando desaparezca del país
la gente que lo pisoteaba,
5 un trono se afianzará en el amor,
se sentará en él con lealtad
(dentro de la tienda de David)
un juez que practique el derecho,
todo un experto en justicia .
Endecha por Moab
6 Nos enteramos del orgullo de Moab,
de su soberbia fuera de límite,
de su orgullo, soberbia y altivez,
de su inútil palabrería.
7 Los moabitas lloran por Moab,
todos ellos se lamentan;
por las tortas de Quir Jaréset
suspiran llenos de aflicción.
8 Languidece arrasada Jesbón,
el viñedo de Sibmá,
los dueños de las naciones
arrancaron sus guías,
que llegaban a Jazer,
extendidas por el páramo;
sus brotes esparcidos
sobrepasaban el mar.
9 Por eso, ahora lloro
con el llanto de Jazer,
por la viña de Sibmá.
Los riego con mi llanto,
Jesbón y Elalé:
callaron las alegres melodías
de su cosecha y vendimia.
10 En el huerto callaron el gozo y el júbilo,
no suenan en las viñas gritos de alegría;
no hay quien pise el vino en el lagar,
tocaron a su fin las alegres melodías.
11 Por eso tiemblan mis entrañas
como cuerdas de un arpa, por Moab,
mi interior por Quir Jaréset.
12 Y aunque Moab se fatigue
subiendo a su colina sagrada
y yendo a orar a su santuario,
de nada le servirá.
13 Esta es la palabra que pronunció el Señor contra Moab en otro tiempo. 14 Y ahora habla el Señor así: “Dentro de tres años, años de jornalero, de nada valdrán los señores de Moab y toda su nutrida población. Serán un resto, unos pocos, una miseria, sin importancia”.

Chapter 16
1 [a]Send forth lambs to the ruler of the land,
from Sela across the desert
to the mount of daughter Zion.
2 Like fluttering birds,
like scattered nestlings,
are the women of Moab
at the fords of the Arnon.
3 Offer your counsel,
grant us your justice.
At high noon
let your shadow be like night.
Hide those who are outcasts
and do not betray the fugitives.
4 Allow the outcasts of Moab
to settle among you,
and be their refuge from the destroyer.
When the oppression has ceased
and the devastation is at an end,
and the marauders who have trampled the land
have finally departed,
5 a throne established in faithful love
will be established in the tent of David,
and on it will sit in fidelity
a judge who offers fair judgment
and is prompt to ensure justice.
6 We have heard about the pride of Moab,
about how truly intense that pride is,
with its arrogance, its pride, and its insolence,
as well as its boasts which have little basis.
7 Therefore, let Moab wail,
every one of its inhabitants.
In their grief they will long
for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth.
8 The vineyards of Heshbon have withered,
the vines of Sibmah.
The lords of the nations
have destroyed the choicest vines
that once reached as far as Jazer
and spread out toward the desert,
and whose shoots with their spreading branches
spread across the sea.
9 Therefore, I weep with Jazer
for the vines of Sibmah.
I drench you with tears,
Heshbon and Elealeh,
for the cries of battle have fallen
over your harvest and vintage.
10 Joy and gladness
have been taken away from the fields.
In the vineyards no songs are sung,
no joyful shouts are raised.
No one treads out wine in the wine-presses
no cheers of happiness are heard.
11 That is the reason why
my heart throbs like a harp for Moab
and my soul for Kir-hareseth.
12 When the Moabites approach
and exhaust themselves on the high places,
they will flock to their sanctuaries to pray,
but it will avail them nothing.
13 This was the word that the Lord spoke about Moab in the past. 14 But now the Lord says: In three years, as a hired worker reckons them, the glory of Moab will be regarded with contempt, despite its vast multitude. The remnant that survive will be few in number and very feeble.
Footnotes
- Isaiah 16:1 The text is uncertain— verse 2 belongs before verse 1, as a continuation of 15:9. Then, it seems, the ruler of Moab is urged to send a messenger to ask for asylum in Jerusalem, to which verses 3-4 refer.

New International Version
Isaiah 16
New International Version
16 Send lambs(A) as tribute(B)
to the ruler of the land,
from Sela,(C) across the desert,
to the mount of Daughter Zion.(D)
2 Like fluttering birds
pushed from the nest,(E)
so are the women of Moab(F)
at the fords(G) of the Arnon.(H)
3 “Make up your mind,” Moab says.
“Render a decision.
Make your shadow like night—
at high noon.
Hide the fugitives,(I)
do not betray the refugees.
4 Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you;
be their shelter(J) from the destroyer.”
The oppressor(K) will come to an end,
and destruction will cease;(L)
the aggressor will vanish from the land.
5 In love a throne(M) will be established;(N)
in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
one from the house[a] of David(O)—
one who in judging seeks justice(P)
and speeds the cause of righteousness.
6 We have heard of Moab’s(Q) pride(R)—
how great is her arrogance!—
of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
but her boasts are empty.
7 Therefore the Moabites wail,(S)
they wail together for Moab.
Lament and grieve
for the raisin cakes(T) of Kir Hareseth.(U)
8 The fields of Heshbon(V) wither,(W)
the vines of Sibmah(X) also.
The rulers of the nations
have trampled down the choicest vines,(Y)
which once reached Jazer(Z)
and spread toward the desert.
Their shoots spread out(AA)
and went as far as the sea.[b](AB)
9 So I weep,(AC) as Jazer weeps,
for the vines of Sibmah.
Heshbon and Elealeh,(AD)
I drench you with tears!(AE)
The shouts of joy(AF) over your ripened fruit
and over your harvests(AG) have been stilled.
10 Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards;(AH)
no one sings or shouts(AI) in the vineyards;
no one treads(AJ) out wine at the presses,(AK)
for I have put an end to the shouting.
11 My heart laments for Moab(AL) like a harp,(AM)
my inmost being(AN) for Kir Hareseth.
12 When Moab appears at her high place,(AO)
she only wears herself out;
when she goes to her shrine(AP) to pray,
it is to no avail.(AQ)
13 This is the word the Lord has already spoken concerning Moab. 14 But now the Lord says: “Within three years,(AR) as a servant bound by contract(AS) would count them,(AT) Moab’s splendor and all her many people will be despised,(AU) and her survivors will be very few and feeble.”(AV)
