Ezequiel 16

1 Y fue palabra de Jehová a mí, diciendo:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Hijo del hombre, notifica a Jerusalem sus abominaciones;

Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,

3 Y dirás: Así dijo el Señor Jehová sobre Jerusalem: Tu habitación, y tu raza, fue de la tierra de Canaán: tu padre, Amorreo; y tu madre, Jetea.

And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.

4 Y tu nacimiento: el día que naciste, no fue cortado tu ombligo, ni fuiste lavada con aguas, para ablandarte, ni salada con sal, ni fuiste envuelta con fajas.

As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.

5 No hubo ojo que se compadeciese de ti, para hacerte algo de esto, habiendo de ti misericordia: mas fuiste echada sobre la haz del campo, con menosprecio de tu vida, en el día que naciste.

No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.

6 Y yo pasé junto a ti, y te ví revolcada en tus sangres; y te dije: En tus sangres vivirás: díjete: En tus sangres vivirás.

And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;

7 En millares, como la yerba del campo, te hice multiplicar, y fuiste aumentada, y engrandecida; y veniste a ser adornada grandemente: los pechos crecieron, y tu pelo reverdeció; y tú estabas desnuda y descubierta.

And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.

8 Y yo pasé junto a ti, y te miré, y he aquí que tu tiempo era tiempo de amores; y extendí mi manto sobre ti, y cubrí tu desnudez: y te di juras, y entré en concierto contigo, dijo el Señor Jehová, y fuiste mía.

Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.

9 Y lavéte con aguas, y lavé tus sangres de encima de ti, y ungíte con óleo.

Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.

10 Y vestíte de bordadura, y calcéte de tejón, y ceñíte de lino, y te vestí de seda.

And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.

11 Y adornéte de ornamentos, y puse ajorcas en tus brazos, y collar a tu cuello.

And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.

12 Y puse cerquillos sobre tus narices, y zarcillos en tus orejas, y diadema de hermosura en tu cabeza.

And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Y fuiste adornada de oro y de plata, y tu vestido fue lino, y seda, y bordadura; comiste flor de harina de trigo, y miel, y aceite; y fuiste hermoseada en gran manera, en gran manera; y has prosperado hasta reinar.

So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.

14 Y te salió nombradía entre las gentes a causa de tu hermosura, porque era perfecta, a causa de mi hermosura que yo puse sobre ti, dijo el Señor Jehová.

You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.

15 Mas confiaste en tu hermosura, y fornicaste a causa de tu nombradía, y derramaste tus fornicaciones a cuantos pasaron: suya eras.

But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.

16 Y tomaste de tus vestidos, e hicístete altares de diversos colores, y fornicaste en ellos: no vendrá, ni será cosa semejante.

And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.

17 Y tomaste los vasos de tu hermosura de mi oro y de mi plata, que yo te había dado, e hicístete imágenes de hombre, y fornicaste con ellos.

And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;

18 Y tomaste tus vestidos de diversos colores, y cubrístelas; y mi aceite, y mi perfume pusiste delante de ellas.

And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.

19 Y mi pan, que yo te había dado, la flor de la harina, y el aceite, y la miel, con que te mantuve, pusiste delante de ellas para olor suave; y fue así, dijo el Señor Jehová.

And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.

20 Demás de esto, tomaste tus hijos y tus hijas, que me habías engendrado; y los sacrificaste a ellas para consumación. ¿Es poco, esto de tus fornicaciones?

And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,

21 Y sacrificaste mis hijos, y dístelos para que los hiciesen pasar a ellas.

That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?

22 Y con todas tus abominaciones y tus fornicaciones no te has acordado de los días de tu mocedad, cuando estabas desnuda y descubierta: envuelta en tus sangres estabas.

And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.

23 Y fue que después de toda tu maldad, (¡ay, ay de ti! dijo el Señor Jehová, )

And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,

24 Edificástete alto, e hicístete altar en todas las plazas.

That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.

25 En toda cabeza de camino edificaste tu altar, y tornaste abominable tu hermosura, y abriste tus pies a cuantos pasaban, y multiplicaste tus fornicaciones.

You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.

26 Y fornicaste con los hijos de Egipto tus vecinos, de grandes carnes; y aumentaste tus fornicaciones para enojarme.

And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.

27 Por tanto he aquí que yo extendí mi mano sobre ti, y disminuí tu libertad; y te entregué a la voluntad de las hijas de los Filisteos que te aborrecen, las cuales se avergüenzan de tu camino tan deshonesto.

Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.

28 Fornicaste también con los hijos de Asur por no haberte hartado; y fornicaste con ellos, y tampoco te hartaste.

And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.

29 Más multiplicaste tu fornicación en la tierra de Canaán, y de los Caldeos: ni tampoco con esto te hartaste.

And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.

30 ¡Cuán inconstante es tu corazón, dijo el Señor Jehová, habiendo hecho todas estas cosas, obras de una poderosa ramera!

How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;

31 Edificando tus altares en cabeza de todo camino, y haciendo tus altares en todas las plazas; y no fuiste semejante a ramera, menospreciando el salario:

For you have made your arched room at the top of every street, and your high place in every open place; though you were not like a loose woman in getting together your payment.

32 Mas como mujer adúltera, que en lugar de su marido recibe a ajenos.

The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!

33 A todas las rameras dan dones: mas tú diste tus dones a todos tus enamorados; y les diste presentes, porque entrasen a ti de todas partes por tus fornicaciones.

They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.

34 Y ha sido en ti al contrario de las mujeres en tus fornicaciones, ni nunca después de ti será así fornicado; porque en dar tú dones, y no ser dados dones a ti, ha sido al contrario.

And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.

35 Por tanto, ramera, oye palabra de Jehová.

For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:

36 Así dijo el Señor Jehová: Por cuanto han sido descubiertas tus vergüenzas, y tu confusión ha sido manifestada a tus enamorados en tus fornicaciones, y a los ídolos de tus abominaciones, y en la sangre de tus hijos, los cuales les diste:

This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;

37 Por tanto he aquí que yo junto todos tus enamorados con los cuales tomaste placer, y todos los que amaste, con todos los que aborreciste; y juntarlos he contra ti al derredor, y descubrirles he tu vergüenza, y verán toda tu vergüenza.

For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.

38 Y yo te juzgaré por las leyes de las adúlteras, y de las que derraman sangre; y te daré en sangre de ira y de zelo.

And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.

39 Y darte he en la mano de ellos, y destruirán tu alto, y derribarán tus altares, y hacerte han desnudar de tus ropas, y llevarán los vasos de tu gloria, y dejarte han desnuda y descubierta.

I will give you into their hands, and your arched room will be overturned and your high places broken down; they will take your clothing off you and take away your fair jewels: and when they have done, you will be uncovered and shamed.

40 Y harán subir contra ti la compañía, y apedrearte han a piedra, y travesarte han con sus espadas.

And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.

41 Y quemarán tus casas a fuego, y harán en ti juicios a ojos de muchas mujeres; y hacerte he cesar de ser ramera, ni tampoco darás más don.

And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.

42 Y haré reposar mi ira sobre ti; y mi zelo se apartará de ti, y descansaré de más enojarme.

And the heat of my wrath against you will have an end, and my bitter feeling will be turned away from you, and I will be quiet and will be angry no longer.

43 Por cuanto no te acordaste de los días de tu mocedad, y me provocaste a ira en todo esto: yo pues, también, he aquí que he tornado tu camino sobre tu cabeza, dijo el Señor Jehová, y nunca has pensado sobre todas tus abominaciones.

Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.

44 He aquí que todo proverbiador hará de ti proverbio, diciendo: Como la madre, tal su hija.

See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.

45 Hija de tu madre eres tú, que desechó a su marido, y a sus hijos; y hermana de tus hermanas eres tú, que desecharon a sus maridos, y a sus hijos. Vuestra madre, Jetea, y vuestro padre, Amorreo.

You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

46 Y tu hermana mayor es Samaria y sus hijas, la cual habita a tu mano izquierda; y tu hermana la menor que tú es Sodoma y sus hijas, la cual habita a tu mano derecha.

Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

47 Y aun no anduviste en sus caminos, ni hiciste según sus abominaciones, como que esto fuera poco y muy poco; antes te corrompiste más que ellas en todos tus caminos.

Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.

48 Vivo yo, dijo el Señor Jehová, nunca Sodoma, tu hermana y sus hijas, hizo como hiciste tú y tus hijas.

By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.

49 He aquí que esta fue la maldad de Sodoma tu hermana: soberbia, hartura de pan, y abundancia de ociosidad tuvo ella y sus hijas; y la mano del afligido y del menesteroso nunca esforzó.

Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.

50 Y ensoberbeciéronse, e hicieron abominación delante de mí, y las quité como lo ví.

They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.

51 Y Samaria nunca pecó tanto como la mitad de tus pecados; porque tú multiplicaste tus abominaciones más que ellas, y justificaste a tus hermanas con todas tus abominaciones que hiciste.

And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.

52 Tú también pues lleva tu vergüenza, que juzgaste a tus hermanas en tus pecados que hiciste más abominables que ellas: más justas son que tú: avergüénzate pues tú también, y lleva tu confusión: pues que has justificado a tus hermanas.

And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.

53 Yo pues haré tornar sus cautivos, los cautivos de Sodoma y de sus hijas, y los cautivos de Samaria y de sus hijas, y los cautivos de tus cautiverios entre ellas:

And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.

54 Para que tú lleves tu confusión, y te avergüences de todo lo que has hecho, dándoles tu consuelo.

So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.

55 Y tus hermanas, Sodoma y sus hijas, y Samaria y sus hijas, volverán a sus primerías: tú también y tus hijas volveréis a vuestras primerías.

And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.

56 Sodoma tu hermana no fue nombrada en tu boca en el tiempo de tus soberbias,

Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,

57 Antes que tu maldad se descubriese, como en el tiempo de la vergüenza de las hijas de Siria, y de todas las hijas de los Filisteos al derredor, que te menosprecían en derredor.

Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.

58 Tú has llevado tu enormidad y tus abominaciones, dijo Jehová.

The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.

59 Porque así dijo el Señor Jehová: ¿Haré yo contigo como tú hiciste, que menospreciaste el juramento, para invalidar el concierto?

For this is what the Lord has said: I will do to you as you have done, you who, putting the oath on one side, have let the agreement be broken.

60 Antes yo tendré memoria de mi concierto, que concerté contigo en los días de tu mocedad; y yo te confirmaré un concierto sempiterno.

But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.

61 Y acordarte has de tus caminos, y avergonzarte has, cuando recibirás a tus hermanas las mayores que tú, con las menores que tú, las cuales yo te daré por hijas: mas no por tu concierto.

Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.

62 Y confirmaré mi concierto contigo, y sabrás que yo soy Jehová:

And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:

63 Para que te acuerdes, y te avergüences, y que nunca más abras la boca a causa de tu vergüenza, cuando me aplacare para contigo de todo lo que hiciste, dijo el Señor Jehová.

So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.
