Isaías 16
La Biblia de las Américas
16 Enviad el cordero del tributo al gobernante de la tierra(A),
desde Sela[a](B) en el desierto al monte de la hija de Sión(C).
2 Y como aves fugitivas[b] o nidada dispersa[c](D),
serán las hijas de Moab(E) en los vados del Arnón(F).
3 Danos[d] consejo, toma una decisión;
da[e] tu sombra como la noche en pleno mediodía[f](G);
esconde a los desterrados(H), no entregues al fugitivo.
4 Quédense contigo los desterrados de Moab[g];
sé para ellos escondedero ante el destructor.
Porque ha llegado a su fin el explotador, ha cesado la destrucción,
han desaparecido[h] los opresores de la tierra(I).
5 Se establecerá en la misericordia un trono,
y en él se sentará con fidelidad[i], en la tienda de David,
un juez que busque lo justo
y esté presto a la justicia(J).
6 Hemos oído del orgullo de Moab, un gran orgullo,
de su arrogancia, de su altivez y de su furor(K);
son falsas[j] sus vanas jactancias(L).
7 Por tanto Moab gemirá por Moab; todo él gemirá.
Por las tortas de pasas(M) de Kir-hareset(N) os lamentaréis,
abatidos por completo.
8 Porque los campos de Hesbón(O) se han marchitado[k], también las vides de Sibma(P);
los señores de las naciones pisotearon sus mejores racimos,
hasta Jazer alcanzaban y se extendían por el desierto;
sus sarmientos se extendían y pasaban el mar(Q).
9 Por eso lloraré amargamente por Jazer, por la viña de Sibma(R);
te bañaré[l] con mis lágrimas, oh Hesbón y Eleale(S),
porque sobre tus frutos de verano(T) y sobre tu cosecha se ha extinguido[m] el clamor,
10 y se han retirado la alegría y el regocijo del campo fértil(U).
En las viñas nadie canta de júbilo ni grita de alegría(V).
No pisa vino en los lagares el pisador(W),
pues he hecho cesar el clamor.
11 Por eso mis entrañas vibran[n] por Moab como un arpa[o],
y mi interior por Kir-hareset(X).
12 Y sucederá que cuando Moab se presente(Y),
cuando se fatigue(Z) sobre su lugar alto(AA),
y venga a su santuario para orar,
no prevalecerá.
13 Esta es la palabra que el Señor habló antes acerca de Moab. 14 Pero ahora el Señor habla, diciendo: Dentro de tres años, como los contaría un jornalero[p](AB), la gloria de Moab(AC) será despreciada con toda su gran muchedumbre, y su remanente será muy pequeño y débil[q].

More Troubles for Moab
16 Send lambs[a] as gifts
to the ruler of the land.
Send them across the desert
from Sela[b] to Mount Zion.
2 The women of Moab
crossing the Arnon River
are like a flock of birds
scattered from their nests.
3 Moab's messengers say
to the people of Judah,
“Be kind and help us!
Shade us from the heat
of the noonday sun.
Hide our refugees!
Don't turn them away.
4 Let our people live
in your country
and find safety here.”
Moab, your cruel enemies
will disappear;
they will no longer attack
and destroy your land.
5 Then a kingdom of love
will be set up,
and someone from David's family
will rule with fairness.
He will do what is right
and quickly bring justice.
Moab's Pride Is Destroyed
6 We have heard of Moab's pride.
Its people strut and boast,
but without reason.
7 Tell everyone in Moab
to mourn for their nation.
Tell them to cry and weep
for those fancy raisins[c]
of Kir-Hareseth.
8 Vineyards near Heshbon
and Sibmah
have turned brown.
The rulers of nations
used to get drunk
on wine from those vineyards[d]
that spread to Jazer,
then across the desert
and beyond the sea.
9 Now I mourn like Jazer
for the vineyards
of Sibmah.
I shed tears for Heshbon
and for Elealeh.
There will be no more
harvest celebrations
10 or joyful and happy times,
while bringing in the crops.
Singing and shouting are gone
from the vineyards.
There are no joyful shouts
where grapes were pressed.
God has silenced them all.
11 Deep in my heart I hurt
for Moab and Kir-Heres.
12 It's useless for Moab's people
to wear themselves out
by going to their altars
to worship and pray.
13 The Lord has already said all of this about Moab. 14 Now he says, “The contract of a hired worker is good for three years, but Moab's glory and greatness won't last any longer than that. Only a few of its people will survive, and they will be left helpless.”
Isaiah 16
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)
