Ezekiel 22
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:
2 “And you, son of man, should you not judge, should you not judge the city of blood?
Y tú, hijo de hombre, ¿no juzgarás tú, no juzgarás tú a la ciudad derramadora de la sangre inocente, y le mostrarás todas sus abominaciones?
3 And you shall reveal to her all her abominations. And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: This is the city which sheds blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and which has made idols against herself, so that she may be defiled.
Dirás, pues: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: ¡Ciudad derramadora de sangre en medio de sí, para que venga su hora, y que hizo ídolos contra sí misma para contaminarse!
4 You have offended by your blood, which you shed from yourself. And you have been defiled by your idols which you yourself made. And you have caused your days to approach, and you have brought on the time of your years. Because of this, I have made you a disgrace to the Gentiles, and a derision to all the lands.
En tu sangre que derramaste has pecado, y te has contaminado con tus ídolos que hiciste; y has hecho acercar tus días, y has llegado a tus años; por tanto, te he dado en oprobio a los gentiles, y en escarnio a todas las tierras.
5 Those that are near and those that are far from you will triumph over you. You are filthy, infamous, great in destruction.
Las que están cerca, y las que están lejos de ti, se reirán de ti, amancillada de fama, y de grande turbación.
6 Behold, the leaders of Israel have each used his arm to shed blood within you.
He aquí que los príncipes de Israel, cada uno según su poder, fueron en ti para derramar sangre.
7 They have abused father and mother within you. The new arrival has been oppressed in your midst. They have grieved the orphan and the widow among you.
Al padre y a la madre despreciaron en ti; al extranjero trataron con calumnia en medio de ti; al huérfano y a la viuda despojaron en ti.
8 You have spurned my sanctuaries, and you have defiled my Sabbaths.
Mis santuarios menospreciaste, y mis sábados has profanado.
9 Maligning men were within you, in order to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains within you. They have worked wickedness in your midst.
Calumniadores hubo en ti para derramar sangre; y sobre los montes comieron en ti; hicieron en medio de ti suciedades.
10 They have uncovered the nakedness of their father within you. They have debased the uncleanness of the menstruous woman within you.
La desnudez del padre descubrieron en ti; la inmunda de menstruo forzaron en ti.
11 And each one has committed abomination with the wife of his neighbor. And the father-in-law has heinously defiled his daughter-in-law. The brother has oppressed his sister, the daughter of his father, within you.
Y cada uno hizo abominación con la mujer de su prójimo; y cada uno contaminó su nuera torpemente; y cada uno forzó en ti a su hermana, hija de su padre.
12 They have accepted bribes among you to shed blood. You have received usury and superabundance, and in avarice you have oppressed your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, says the Lord God.
Precio recibieron en ti para derramar sangre; usura y logro tomaste, y a tus prójimos defraudaste con violencia; te olvidaste de mí, dijo el Señor DIOS.
13 Behold, I have clapped my hands over your avarice, which you have worked, and over the blood that has been shed in your midst.
Y he aquí, que herí mi mano a causa de tu avaricia que cometiste, y a causa de tus sangres que fueron en medio de ti.
14 How can your heart endure, or your hands prevail, in the days that I will bring upon you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will act.
¿Estará firme tu corazón? ¿Tus manos serán fuertes en los días que obraré yo contra ti? Yo, el SEÑOR, he hablado, y lo haré.
15 And I will disperse you among the nations, and I will scatter you among the lands, and I will cause your uncleanness to fade away from you.
Y yo te esparciré por los gentiles, y te aventaré por las tierras; y haré fenecer de ti tu inmundicia.
16 And I will possess you in the sight of the Gentiles. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Y tomarás heredad en ti a los ojos de los gentiles; y sabrás que yo soy el SEÑOR.
17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become like dross to me. All these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace; they have become like the dross of silver.
Hijo de hombre, la Casa de Israel se me ha tornado en escoria; todos ellos como bronce, y estaño, y hierro, y plomo, en medio del horno; escorias de plata se tornaron.
19 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have all turned into dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem,
Por tanto, así dijo el Señor DIOS: Por cuanto todos vosotros os habéis tornado en escorias, por tanto, he aquí que yo os junto en medio de Jerusalén.
20 just as they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace, so that I may kindle in it a fire to melt it. So will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and I will be quieted, and I will melt you down.
Como quien junta plata y bronce y hierro y plomo y estaño en medio del horno, para soplar fuego en él para fundir; así os juntaré en mi furor y en mi ira, y haré os reposar, y os fundiré.
21 And I will gather you together, and I will burn you in the fire of my fury, and you will be melted in its midst.
Yo os juntaré y soplaré sobre vosotros en el fuego de mi furor, y en medio de él seréis fundidos.
22 Just as silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so will you be in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have poured out my indignation upon you.”
Como se funde la plata en medio del horno, así seréis fundidos en medio de él; y sabréis que yo, el SEÑOR, habré derramado mi enojo sobre vosotros.
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:
24 “Son of man, say to her: You are a land unclean and not rained upon, in the day of fury.
Hijo de hombre, di a ella: Tú no eres tierra limpia, ni rociada con lluvia en el día del furor.
25 There is a conspiracy of prophets in her midst. Like a lion, roaring and seizing the prey, they have devoured souls. They have taken riches and a price. They have multiplied widows in her midst.
La conjuración de sus profetas en medio de ella, como león bramando que arrebata presa; devoraron almas, tomaron haciendas y honra, aumentaron sus viudas en medio de ella.
26 Her priests have despised my law, and they have defiled my sanctuaries. They have held no distinction between holy and profane. And they have not understood the difference between defiled and clean. And they have averted their eyes from my Sabbaths. And I was profaned in their midst.
Sus sacerdotes violentaron mi ley, y contaminaron mis santuarios, entre lo santo y lo profano no hicieron diferencia, ni entre inmundo y limpio hicieron manifestación; y de mis sábados escondieron sus ojos, y yo era profanado en medio de ellos.
27 Her leaders in her midst are like wolves seizing the prey: to shed blood, and to perish souls, and to continually pursue profit with avarice.
Sus príncipes en medio de ella como lobos que arrebataban presa, derramando sangre, para destruir las almas, para seguir su avaricia.
28 And her prophets have covered them without tempering the mortar, seeing emptiness, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.
Y sus profetas los pañetaban con lodo suelto, profetizándoles vanidad, y adivinándoles mentira, diciendo: Así dijo el Señor DIOS; y el SEÑOR no había hablado.
29 The people of the land have oppressed with slander and have seized with violence. They have afflicted the needy and the poor, and they have oppressed the new arrival by accusations without judgment.
El pueblo de la tierra usaba de opresión, y cometía robo, y al pobre y menesteroso hacían violencia, y al extranjero oprimían sin derecho.
30 And I sought among them for a man who might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I might not destroy it; and I found no one.
Y busqué de ellos hombre que hiciese vallado y que se pusiese al portillo delante de mí por la tierra, para que yo no la destruyese; y no lo hallé.
31 And so I poured out my indignation upon them; in the fire of my wrath I consumed them. I have rendered their own way upon their head, says the Lord God.”
Por tanto, derramé sobre ellos mi ira; con el fuego de mi ira los consumí; torné el camino de ellos sobre su cabeza, dijo el Señor DIOS.
