Caída de Babilonia
21 Oráculo desde la estepa marítima:
Igual que torbellinos
que barren el Négueb,
vienen de la estepa,
de un país temible.
2 Una visión terrible
me ha sido revelada:
un traidor que traiciona,
un devastador que devasta.
¡Ataquen, elamitas;
medos, al asedio!
¡Pondré fin a su orgullo!
3 Por eso mis entrañas
se llenan de espasmos;
angustias me atenazan
como de parturienta.
Me inquieto al oírlo,
al verlo me espanto;
4 me siento turbado,
me espanta el terror;
la tarde anhelada
sólo trae temblor.
5 ¡Preparen la mesa,
pongan el mantel,
coman y beban!
¡En pie, oficiales;
bruñan los escudos!
6 Así me ha dicho el Señor:
Ve e instala un vigía,
que anuncie lo que vea.
7 Si ve gente montada,
un par de jinetes,
a lomos de burros,
a lomos de camellos,
que escuche atento,
con mucha atención.
8 Gritó el centinela:
“En la atalaya estoy,
Señor, vigilante
siempre de día;
en mi puesto de guardia
estoy sin moverme
toda la noche.
9 Miren, ahí vienen
hombres cabalgando,
un par de jinetes”.
Alguien dijo entonces:
“Cayó, cayó Babilonia,
todas las estatuas de sus dioses
yacen por tierra hechas añicos”.
10 Pueblo mío machacado,
trillado en la era,
te comunico lo que he oído
al Señor del universo,
al Dios de Israel.
Desde Seir-Edom
11 Oráculo sobre Dumá:
Me gritan desde Seír:
“Centinela, ¿cuánto queda,
cuánto queda de la noche?”.
12 Responde el centinela:
“Ya llega la mañana,
pero aún es de noche.
Si quieren preguntar,
vuelvan otra vez”.
Dedanitas y quedaritas
13 Oráculo en la estepa:
Pernocten en el oasis de la estepa,
caravanas de Dedán.
14 Reciban con agua a los sedientos,
habitantes de Temá,
lleven pan a los que huyen.
15 Van huyendo de la espada,
de la espada afilada,
de los arcos tensados,
de la dura batalla.
16 Así me ha dicho el Señor: Dentro de un año, de un año de jornalero, acabará el esplendor de Quedar. 17 Se verá reducido el número de los arqueros de Quedar. Quedarán unos pocos. Ha hablado el Señor, Dios de Israel.

A Prophecy Against Babylon
21 A prophecy(A) against the Desert(B) by the Sea:
Like whirlwinds(C) sweeping through the southland,(D)
an invader comes from the desert,
from a land of terror.
2 A dire(E) vision has been shown to me:
The traitor betrays,(F) the looter takes loot.
Elam,(G) attack! Media,(H) lay siege!
I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused.
3 At this my body is racked with pain,(I)
pangs seize me, like those of a woman in labor;(J)
I am staggered by what I hear,
I am bewildered(K) by what I see.
4 My heart(L) falters,
fear makes me tremble;(M)
the twilight I longed for
has become a horror(N) to me.
5 They set the tables,
they spread the rugs,
they eat, they drink!(O)
Get up, you officers,
oil the shields!(P)
6 This is what the Lord says to me:
“Go, post a lookout(Q)
and have him report what he sees.
7 When he sees chariots(R)
with teams of horses,
riders on donkeys
or riders on camels,(S)
let him be alert,
fully alert.”
8 And the lookout[a](T) shouted,
“Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower;
every night I stay at my post.
9 Look, here comes a man in a chariot(U)
with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
‘Babylon(V) has fallen,(W) has fallen!
All the images of its gods(X)
lie shattered(Y) on the ground!’”
10 My people who are crushed on the threshing floor,(Z)
I tell you what I have heard
from the Lord Almighty,
from the God of Israel.
A Prophecy Against Edom
11 A prophecy against Dumah[b]:(AA)
Someone calls to me from Seir,(AB)
“Watchman, what is left of the night?
Watchman, what is left of the night?”
12 The watchman replies,
“Morning is coming, but also the night.
If you would ask, then ask;
and come back yet again.”
A Prophecy Against Arabia
13 A prophecy(AC) against Arabia:(AD)
You caravans of Dedanites,(AE)
who camp in the thickets of Arabia,
14 bring water for the thirsty;
you who live in Tema,(AF)
bring food for the fugitives.
15 They flee(AG) from the sword,(AH)
from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow
and from the heat of battle.
16 This is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a servant bound by contract(AI) would count it, all the splendor(AJ) of Kedar(AK) will come to an end. 17 The survivors of the archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.(AL)” The Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.(AM)

King James Version
Isaiah 21
King James Version
21 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.
13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
