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 known to Jerusalem her abominations.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.’

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

And I washed you with water, and I cleansed you of your blood. And I anointed you with oil.

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

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.

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

I adorned you with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon your hands and a necklace around your neck.

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

And I put gold upon your face, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

And you used your multicolored vestments to cover these things. And you placed my oil and my incense 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 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.

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 you bore for me, and you immolated them to be devoured. Is your fornication a small matter?

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

You have immolated my sons, and you have consecrated and delivered my sons 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 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.

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

And it happened that, after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you, says the Lord God)

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

you built for yourself a brothel, and you made for yourself a place of prostitution in every street.

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.

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.

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

And you fornicated with the sons of Egypt, your neighbors, who have large bodies. And you multiplied your fornications, so as to provoke me.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

And you multiplied your fornications in the land of Canaan with the Chaldeans. And even then, you were not satisfied.

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

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?

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 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,

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

but instead like a woman who is an adulteress, who prefers strangers to her own 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.

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.

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 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.”

35 Por tanto, ramera, oye palabra de Jehová.

Because of this, O harlot, listen to the word 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:

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:

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

And they will lead over you a multitude. And they will stone you with stones, and massacre 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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Behold, all who speak a common proverb will take this up against you, saying: ‘Like the mother, so also 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

As I live, says the Lord God, your sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as 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.

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.

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

And they were exalted, and they committed abominations before me. And so I took them away, just 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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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

So may you bear your disgrace and be confounded over all that you have done, consoling them.

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 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.

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

Your sister Sodom was not heard from your mouth, then, 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 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.

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

You have borne your wickedness and your disgrace, says the Lord God.”

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

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.

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

And I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth. And I will raise up for you an everlasting covenant.

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.

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.

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

And I will raise up my covenant with you. And you shall know 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 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.”
