Ezekiel 16
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Me llegó otro mensaje del Señor, que decía:
2 “Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.
“Hijo de hombre, desafía a Jerusalén por sus prácticas repugnantes.
3 And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your root and your lineage is from the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Cethite.
Dile a Jerusalén que esto es lo que el Señor Dios le dice: Realmente eres cananea, tanto por tu nacimiento como por tu parentesco. Tu padre era amorreo y tu madre era hitita.
4 And when you were born, on the day of your nativity, your umbilical cord was not cut, and you were not washed with water for health, nor salted with salt, nor wrapped with cloths.
El día que naciste no te cortaron el cordón umbilical, ni te lavaron para limpiarte, ni te frotaron con sal, ni te envolvieron en paños.
5 No eye took pity on you, so as to do even one of these things to you, out of compassion for you. Instead, you were cast upon the face of the earth, in the abjection of your soul, on the day when you were born.
Nadie te miró con amor para hacer algo así por ti; nadie mostró ningún tipo de cuidado por ti. No, sino que fuiste arrojado a un campo, abandonado y despreciado desde el día en que naciste.
6 But, passing by you, I saw that you were wallowing in your own blood. And I said to you, when you were in your blood: ‘Live.’ I tell you that I said to you, in your blood: ‘Live.’
“Pero pasé por allí y te vi dando patadas, cubierto en tu propia sangre. Mientras yacías allí, cubierto de sangre, te dije: ‘¡Quiero que vivas!’ Allí mismo te dije: ‘¡Quiero que vivas!’
7 I multiplied you like the seedling of the field. And you were multiplied and became great, and you advanced and arrived at the ornament of a woman. Your breasts rose up, and your hair grew. And you were naked and full of shame.
Te ayudé a crecer como una planta en el campo. Creciste hasta convertirte en una hermosa joven. Tus pechos se desarrollaron y el vello de tu cuerpo creció, y estabas completamente desnuda.
8 And I passed by you and saw you. And behold, your time was the time of lovers. And I spread my garment over you, and I covered your disgrace. And I swore to you, and I entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord God, and you became mine.
“Cuando volví a pasar por allí, te miré y vi que estabas en edad de hacer el amor. Así que extendí mi manto sobre ti y cubrí tu cuerpo desnudo. Me comprometí contigo e hice un acuerdo solemne contigo, y te hice mía, declara el Señor Dios.
9 And I washed you with water, and I cleansed you of your blood. And I anointed you with oil.
Luego te lavé con agua, limpié tu sangre y te ungí con aceite.
10 And I covered you with embroidery, and I put violet shoes upon you, and I wrapped you in fine linen, and I clothed you with delicate garments.
Te puse un vestido bellamente bordado y te di sandalias de cuero fino. Te vestí de lino fino y te cubrí de seda.
11 I adorned you with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon your hands and a necklace around your neck.
Te regalé joyas: te puse brazaletes en las muñecas y un collar en el cuello.
12 And I put gold upon your face, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.
Te puse un anillo en la nariz y aretes en las orejas, y coloqué una hermosa corona en tu cabeza.
13 And you were adorned with gold and silver, and you were clothed in fine linen, woven with many colors. You ate fine flour, and honey, and oil. And you became very beautiful. And you advanced to royal power.
“Llevabas joyas de oro y plata, y tus ropas eran de lino fino, de telas costosas y de telas bordadas. Comiste pan hecho con la mejor harina, y miel y aceite de oliva. Te embelleciste aún más y te convertiste en una reina.
14 And your renown went forth among the Gentiles, because of your beauty. For you were perfected by my beauty, which I had placed upon you, says the Lord God.
Fuiste famosa en todo el mundo por tu belleza, porque usé mi poder majestuoso para hacerte tan maravillosa, declara el Señor Dios.
15 But, having confidence in your own beauty, you fornicated in your fame. And you presented your fornication to every passer-by, so as to become his.
“Estabas tan orgullosa de tu belleza que me fuiste infiel. Pensaste que por ser tan famosa podías prostituirte y acostarte con cualquiera que pasara por allí. Tomaron para sí tu hermoso cuerpo.
16 And taking from your garments, you made for yourself exalted things, having sewed together disparate pieces. And you fornicated upon them, in a way that has not been done before, nor will be in the future.
Te hiciste santuarios paganos de colores con la ropa que te había dado, y allí actuaste como una prostituta. Cosas así nunca habían sucedido antes, ¡y no deben suceder en el futuro!
17 And you took your beautiful items, made of my gold and my silver, which I gave to you, and you made for yourself images of men, and you fornicated with them.
“También usaste las hermosas joyas de oro y plata que te di para hacer ídolos masculinos y te prostituiste con ellas.
18 And you used your multicolored vestments to cover these things. And you placed my oil and my incense before them.
Usaste tus ropas bordadas para vestirlos, y colocaste ante ellos mi aceite de oliva y mi incienso.
19 And my bread, which I gave to you, the fine flour, and the oil, and the honey, by which I nourished you, you placed in their sight as a sweet fragrance. And so it was done, says the Lord God.
Presentaste la comida que te había dado como ofrenda para que la aceptaran -panes hechos con la mejor harina, aceite de oliva y miel que yo te había proporcionado para comer. Eso es exactamente lo que hiciste, declara el Señor Dios.
20 And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore for me, and you immolated them to be devoured. Is your fornication a small matter?
“Sacrificaste a tus hijos e hijas – los hijos que tuviste para mí – ofreciéndolos como alimento para que los comieran los ídolos. ¿No fue suficiente tu prostitución?
21 You have immolated my sons, and you have consecrated and delivered my sons to them.
Sacrificaste a mis hijos, los sacrificaste a los ídolos.
22 And after all your abominations and fornications, you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and full of shame, wallowing in your own blood.
“Mientras estabas ocupada en todas tus prácticas repugnantes y en tu prostitución, te olvidaste del tiempo en que eras joven, completamente desnuda y yacías pateando en tu propia sangre.
23 And it happened that, after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you, says the Lord God)
“¡Viene el desastre! El desastre viene sobre ti, declara el Señor Dios. Además de todas las cosas malas que hiciste,
24 you built for yourself a brothel, and you made for yourself a place of prostitution in every street.
te construiste un santuario pagano, un altar de cultoa losídolos en todas las plazas de la ciudad.
25 At the head of every way, you set up a banner of your prostitution. And you caused your beauty to become abominable. And you distributed your feet to every passer-by. And you multiplied your fornications.
Te convertiste en lugares altos de adoración de ídolos en lo alto de cada calle; te degradaste, ofreciendo tu hermoso cuerpo a cualquiera que pasara, abriendo tus piernas para ellos, volviéndote cada vez más promiscua.
26 And you fornicated with the sons of Egypt, your neighbors, who have large bodies. And you multiplied your fornications, so as to provoke me.
Te ofreciste como prostituta a tus vecinos egipcios con sus grandes órganos sexuales, haciéndome enojar porque te volviste aún más promiscua.
27 Behold, I will extend my hand over you, and I will take away your justification. And I will give you to the souls of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your wicked way.
“Así que actué para reducir mis bendiciones parati. Dejé que tus enemigos los filisteos hicieran lo que quisieran contigo. Incluso ellos se avergonzaron de tu inmoralidad.
28 You also fornicated with the sons of the Assyrians, for you were not yet done. And after you fornicated, even then, you were not satisfied.
Como no estabas satisfecha, te prostituiste con los asirios. Pero ni siquiera entonces quedaste satisfecha.
29 And you multiplied your fornications in the land of Canaan with the Chaldeans. And even then, you were not satisfied.
Entonces llevaste tu conducta promiscua a Babilonia, el país de los mercaderes, ¡pero ni siquiera entonces quedaste satisfecha!
30 With what can I cleanse your heart, says the Lord God, since you do all these things, the works of a woman who is a shameless prostitute?
“Realmente eres una mente enferma al hacer todo esto, actuando como una prostituta sin vergüenza, declara el Señor Dios.
31 For you have built your brothel at the head of every way, and you have made your exalted place on every street. And you have not even been like a choosy prostitute, increasing her price,
En realidad, ni siquiera eras una prostituta normal cuando te construiste santuarios paganos en lo alto de cada calle y altos lugares de culto a los ídolos en cada plaza pública, ¡porque te negaste a que te pagaran por tus servicios!
32 but instead like a woman who is an adulteress, who prefers strangers to her own husband.
“¡Eres una esposa que ama el adulterio! ¡Te acuestas con extraños y no con tu propio marido!
33 Wages are given to all prostitutes. But you have given wages to all your lovers, and you have given gifts to them, so that they would enter to you from every side, in order to fornicate with you.
Normalmente todas las prostitutas reciben pago, pero tú eras la que les daba regalos a todos tus amantes. Incluso los sobornaste para que vinieran de todas partes y tuvieran relaciones sexuales contigo.
34 And it is done with you, in your fornications, contrary to the custom of women, and even after you, there will be no such fornication. For in as much as you have given payment, and not taken payment, what has been done in you is the contrary.”
Así que eres lo contrario de las demás prostitutas. Nadie viene a ti pidiendo sexo, y tú pagas la cuota de la prostituta en lugar de recibirla. Eres todo lo contrario.
35 Because of this, O harlot, listen to the word of the Lord.
“Así que, prostituta, ¡escucha el mensaje del Señor!
36 Thus says the Lord God: “Because your money has been poured out, and your disgrace has been uncovered, in your fornications with your lovers and with the idols of your abominations, in the blood of your sons, whom you gave to them:
Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Como estabas tan loca de deseo que te desnudaste y cometiste adulterio con tus amantes y con todos tus asquerosos ídolos, y como mataste a tus hijos como sacrificios a esos ídolos,
37 Behold, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have united, and all those whom you have loved, together with all those whom you have hated. And I will gather them together against you on every side. And I will uncover your disgrace before them, and they will see all your indecency.
voy a reunir a todos los amantes con los que te acostaste, tanto si los amabas como si los odiabas, y haré que se reúnan de todas partes y te desnudaré mientras miran para que te vean totalmente desnuda.
38 And I will judge you with the judgment of adulteresses and of those who shed blood. And I will give you over to blood, in fury and in zeal.
Te impondré el castigo de las mujeres que cometen adulterio y de las que asesinan; serás castigada con ira apasionada.
39 And I will deliver you into their hands. And they will destroy your brothel and demolish your place of prostitution. And they will strip you of your vestments. And they will take away the ornaments of your beauty. And they will leave you behind, naked and full of disgrace.
“Luego te entregaré a tus amantes, y ellos demolerán tus santuarios paganos y destruirán tus lugares altos de adoración de ídolos. “Te despojarán de tus ropas, te quitarán tus hermosas joyas y te dejarán completamente desnuda.
40 And they will lead over you a multitude. And they will stone you with stones, and massacre you with their swords.
Vendrán con una turba a atacarte. Te apedrearán y te cortarán en pedazos con sus espadas.
41 And they will burn up your houses with fire, and they will carry out judgments against you in the sight of many women. And you will cease from fornication, and no longer give payment.
Quemarán sus casas y los castigarán mientras muchas mujeres lo observan. “Detendré tu prostitución, y no volverás a pagar a tus amantes.
42 And my indignation will be quieted in you. And my zeal will be taken from you. And I will rest, and no longer be angry.
Entonces dejaré de estar celoso y furioso contigo. Me calmaré y no me enfadaré más.
43 For you have not remembered the days of your youth, and you have provoked me in all these things. Because of this, I also have delivered all your ways upon your head, says the Lord God, but I have not acted in accord with your wickedness in all your abominations.
“Como no te acordaste de cómo te cuidé cuando eras joven, sino que me hiciste enojar con todas las cosas que hiciste, me aseguraré de que sufras las consecuencias de lo que has hecho, declara el Señor Dios. Porque esta inmoralidad se sumó a todas las demás cosas repugnantes que hiciste, ¿no lo crees?
44 Behold, all who speak a common proverb will take this up against you, saying: ‘Like the mother, so also is her daughter.’
“Todos los que gustan de usar proverbios citarán éste sobre ti: “‘De tal palo, tal astilla’.
45 You are your mother’s daughter, for she cast away her husband and her children. And you are the sister of your sisters, for they cast away their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Cethite, and your father was an Amorite.
“Tú eres la hija de tu madre, que detestaba a su marido y a sus hijos. Eres igual que ella. Eres la hermana de tus hermanas, igual que ellas, que detestaban a sus maridos e hijos. De hecho, tu madre era hitita y tu padre era amorreo.
46 And your older sister is Samaria, she and her daughters are those who live to your left. But your younger sister, who lives to your right, is Sodom and her daughters.
Tu hermana mayor era Samaria, que vivía al norte de ti con sus hijas. Tu hermana menor era Sodoma, que vivía al sur de ti con sus hijas.
47 But neither have you walked in their ways. For you have done only a little less compared to their wickedness. You have acted almost more wickedly, in all your ways, than they have acted.
Tú no te limitaste a seguir sus caminos y a hacer las mismas cosas repugnantes que ellas, sino que muy pronto te volviste aún peor que ellas.
48 As I live, says the Lord God, your sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as you and your daughters have done.
“Vivo yo, declara el Señor Dios, que tu hermana Sodoma y sus hijas nunca hicieron lo que tú y tus hijas han hecho.
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of Sodom, your sister: arrogance, indulgence in bread and abundance, and the idleness of her and her daughters; and they did not reach out their hand to the needy and the poor.
Los pecados de tu hermana Sodoma fueron estos: Ella y sus hijas eran orgullosas, codiciosas y perezosas. No ayudaron a los pobres ni a los necesitados.
50 And they were exalted, and they committed abominations before me. And so I took them away, just as you have seen.
Se volvieron arrogantes e hicieron cosas repugnantes en mi presencia. Así que me deshice de ellas cuando vi esto.
51 But Samaria has not committed even half of your sins. For you have exceeded them in your wickedness, and you have justified your sisters by all your abominations, which you have wrought.
“Samaria no pecó ni la mitad de lo que ustedes hicieron. Tú has hecho cosas mucho más repugnantes que ellos. De hecho, ¡todas las cosas repugnantes que has hecho hacen que tus hermanas se vean bien!
52 Therefore, you also bear your shame, for you have exceeded your sisters with your sins, acting more wickedly than they did. So they have been justified above you. By this also, you are confounded, and you bear your disgrace, for you have justified your sisters.
Ahora vas a tener que soportar tu vergüenza, ya que con tus vergonzosos pecados las hiciste parecer mucho mejores. En comparación con ustedes, ellas se ven bien. Ahora tú también tendrás que soportar tu vergüenza y tu deshonra, ya que con tus pecados vergonzosos hiciste que tus hermanas parecieran buenas.
53 But I will convert and restore them, by converting Sodom with her daughters, and by converting Samaria and her daughters. And I will convert your return in their midst.
“Aun así, voy a hacer que Sodoma y sus hijas vuelvan del destierro, y Samaria y sus hijas también. Te volveré a juntar con ellas.
54 So may you bear your disgrace and be confounded over all that you have done, consoling them.
Así tendrás que soportar tu desgracia y avergonzarte de todas las cosas malas que hiciste para que ellas se sintieran mejor.
55 And your sister Sodom and her daughters will return to their ancient state. And Samaria and her daughters will return to their ancient state. And you and your daughters will be returned to your ancient state.
“Tus hermanas, Sodoma con sus hijas y Samaria con sus hijas, volverán a ser lo que eran antes. Tú y tus hijas también serán devueltas a lo que eran antes.
56 Your sister Sodom was not heard from your mouth, then, in the day of your pride,
¿No os burlabais de vuestra hermana Sodoma cuando os sentíais orgullosas,
57 before your malice was revealed, as it is at this time, with the reproach of the daughters of Syria and of all the daughters of Palestine, who surround you, who encircle you on every side.
antes de que se demostrara que vosotras mismas erais tan malvadas? Por supuesto que ahora se burlan de ustedes los edomitas y las naciones circundantes, así como por los filisteos. Todos los que te rodean te miran con desprecio.
58 You have borne your wickedness and your disgrace, says the Lord God.”
Tendrás que experimentar las consecuencias de tu inmoralidad y tus prácticas repugnantes, declara el Señor.
59 For thus says the Lord God: “I will act toward you, just as you have despised the oath, so that you would make void the covenant.
“Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Voy a castigarte según tus pecados, porque trataste con desprecio la promesa que hiciste al romper el acuerdo.
60 And I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth. And I will raise up for you an everlasting covenant.
Pero no olvidaré el acuerdo que hice contigo cuando eras joven, y haré un acuerdo eterno contigo.
61 And you shall remember your ways and be confounded, when you will have received your sisters, your elder with your younger. And I will give them to you as daughters, but not by your covenant.
Entonces recordarás la forma en que debes vivir y te avergonzarás cuando conozcas a tus hermanas mayores y menores cuando regresen a ti. Te las daré como hijas, aunque esto no era parte de nuestro acuerdo original.
62 And I will raise up my covenant with you. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
“Así es como refrendaré mi acuerdo contigo, y sabrás que yo soy el Señor,
63 So may you remember and be confounded. And it will no longer be for you to open your mouth, because of your shame, when I will have been pacified toward you over all that you have done, says the Lord God.”
para que te acuerdes y te avergüences, y no vuelvas a defender tu comportamiento vergonzoso cuando te perdone por todo lo que has hecho, declara el Señor Dios”.
