Ezekiel 16
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
2 Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,
Hijo de hombre, denuncia las repugnancias de Jerusalén.
3 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.
ʼAdonay Yavé sobre Jerusalén dice: Tu origen, tu nacimiento fue cananeo. Tu padre fue amorreo y tu madre hetea.
4 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.
En cuanto a tu nacimiento, el día cuando naciste no fue cortado tu ombligo, ni fuiste lavada con agua para limpiarte, ni frotada con sal, ni envuelta en pañales.
5 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.
No hubo ojo que tuviera compasión de ti para hacerte algo de esto, sino el día cuando naciste fuiste echada sobre la superficie del campo.
6 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;
Pero Yo pasé junto a ti y vi que te revolcabas en tu propia sangre. Mientras estabas tendida en tu sangre, te dije: ¡Vive! Sí, cuando estabas en tu sangre, te dije: ¡Vive!
7 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.
Te multipliqué como la hierba del campo. Creciste, llegaste a ser grande y muy hermosa. Tus pechos se formaron y tu cabello creció, pero estabas desnuda y descubierta.
8 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.
Otra vez pasé junto a ti y te miré. Ciertamente era tu tiempo de amores. Extendí mi manto sobre ti y cubrí tu desnudez. Te di juramento y entré en Pacto contigo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, y fuiste mía.
9 Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.
Entonces te lavé con agua, te limpié la sangre de encima y te ungí con aceite.
10 And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.
Luego te vestí con obra bordada, te calcé con sandalias de tejón, te até lino fino y te cubrí de seda.
11 And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.
Te adorné con joyas, puse brazaletes en tus brazos y un collar en tu cuello.
12 And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
Te puse un pendiente en tu nariz, zarcillos en tus orejas y una diadema hermosa sobre tu cabeza.
13 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.
Fuiste adornada con oro y plata. Tu ropa era de lino fino, de seda y de obra bordada. Comiste flor de harina con miel y aceite. Fuiste bellísima y prosperaste hasta llegar a dignidad real.
14 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.
Tu fama salió entre las naciones a causa de tu belleza, la cual era perfecta como resultado de mi esplendor que Yo puse sobre ti, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
15 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.
Pero confiaste en tu belleza. Te prostituiste a causa de tu fama y practicaste tus fornicaciones con todo el que pasaba. Eras de él.
16 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.
Tomaste algunas de tus ropas. Te hiciste lugares altos de diversos colores y fornicaste sobre ellos, cosas que no deben suceder ni jamás sucederán.
17 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;
También tomaste tus bellas joyas de oro y de plata que Yo te di. Te hiciste estatuas de varones y fornicaste con ellos.
18 And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.
Tomaste tus ropas bordadas y los cubriste con ellas. Pusiste mi aceite y mi incienso delante de ellos.
19 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.
También les serviste como olor grato el pan que te di, la flor de harina, el aceite y la miel con los cuales Yo te alimentaba. Así sucedió, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
20 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,
Además, tomaste tus hijos y tus hijas que me diste a luz, y los sacrificaste ante ellos para que fueran quemados. ¿Tus fornicaciones eran poca cosa
21 That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?
para que también degollaras a mis hijos y los ofrecieras a aquellas estatuas de varones como ofrenda que el fuego consumía?
22 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.
En todas tus repugnancias y tus fornicaciones no te acordaste de los días de tu juventud, cuando estabas desnuda y descubierta, cuando estabas envuelta en tu sangre.
23 And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,
Entonces sucedió, después de todas tus perversidades, ¡Ay, ay de ti! dice ʼAdonay Yavé,
24 That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.
que te edificaste un altar y te estableciste un lugar alto en cada plaza.
25 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.
Te edificaste lugares altos en la esquina de cada calle. Convertiste tu hermosura en repugnancia. Abriste tus piernas a todo el que pasaba y multiplicaste tus prostituciones.
26 And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.
Fornicaste con los egipcios, tus vecinos de gruesas carnes, y multiplicaste tus prostituciones para ofenderme.
27 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.
Por tanto ciertamente Yo extendí contra ti mi mano. Disminuí tu provisión y te entregué a la voluntad de las hijas de los filisteos, quienes te aborrecen y se avergüenzan de tu perversa conducta.
28 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.
También, porque eres insaciable, te prostituiste con los asirios. Sí, fornicaste con ellos. Tampoco te saciaste.
29 And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.
También multiplicaste tus prostituciones hasta la tierra de los caldeos. Tampoco con esto te saciaste.
30 How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;
¡Cuán inconstante es tu corazón, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, al hacer todas estas cosas, obras de una prostituta desvergonzada
31 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.
que edificó su casa de prostitución en la esquina de cada calle, e hizo su lugar alto en cada plaza! Y no fuiste igual a una prostituta, porque no cobrabas la paga de tu prostitución.
32 The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!
¡Esposa adúltera, que en vez de recibir a su esposo, recibe a extraños!
33 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.
A todas las prostitutas les dan regalos, pero tú diste regalos a todos tus amantes. Les diste regalos y los sobornaste para que de todos lados llegaran a unirse contigo en tus prostituciones.
34 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.
Y sucedió contigo en tus prostituciones lo contrario de lo que sucede a otras mujeres, porque ninguno te solicitó para fornicar. Tú diste la paga en vez de recibirla. En esto fuiste diferente.
35 For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:
Por tanto oh prostituta, oye la Palabra de Yavé.
36 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;
ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Por cuanto tu inmundicia fue derramada y descubierta tu desnudez por tus fornicaciones con tus amantes y por todos los ídolos de tus repugnantes prácticas, porque les ofreciste la sangre de tus hijos,
37 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.
por tanto, ciertamente reuniré a todos tus amantes con los cuales te gozaste, tanto a los que amaste como a los que aborreciste. Los reuniré contra ti de todas partes y descubriré tu desnudez ante ellos, para que observen toda tu desnudez.
38 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.
Te juzgaré como son juzgadas las adúlteras y las homicidas, y descargaré sobre ti la sangre del furor y de los celos.
39 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.
También te entregaré en manos de tus amantes. Destruirán tus lugares altos y derribarán tus altares. Te despojarán de tu ropa, se llevarán tus hermosas joyas y te dejarán desnuda y descubierta.
40 And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.
Ellos incitarán contra ti a una multitud, quienes te apedrearán. Te destrozarán con sus espadas.
41 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.
Destruirán tus casas con fuego. Ejecutarán juicios sobre ti a la vista de muchas mujeres. Entonces detendré tu prostitución. Tampoco volverás a pagar a tus amantes.
42 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.
De este modo calmaré mi furor contra ti. Mi celo se apartará de ti y me aplacaré. No me airaré más.
43 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.
Porque no recordaste los días de tu juventud, y me provocaste a ira con todas estas cosas, ciertamente Yo también traeré tu conducta sobre tu cabeza, dice ʼAdonay Yavé. No cometerás perversidad además de todas tus repugnancias.
44 See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.
Ciertamente todo el que cite dichos te aplicará a ti éste: ¡De tal madre, tal hija!
45 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.
Hija eres de tu madre, que aborreció a su esposo y a sus hijos. Hermana eres de tus hermanas, que aborrecieron a sus esposos y a sus hijos. Tu madre fue hetea y tu padre amorreo.
46 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.
Tu hermana mayor es Samaria, quien vive con sus hijas a tu derecha, y tu hermana menor que está a tu derecha es Sodoma con sus hijas.
47 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.
No solo seguiste sus caminos e imitaste sus repugnancias, sino como si eso fuera poco, te corrompiste más que ellas en todos tus caminos.
48 By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.
Vivo Yo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, que tu hermana Sodoma con sus hijas no hicieron lo que hiciste tú y tus hijas.
49 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.
Mira, éste fue el delito de tu hermana Sodoma: ella y sus hijas tuvieron orgullo, saciedad de pan y gran ociosidad, pero no extendió la mano al pobre y al necesitado.
50 They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.
Se llenaron de orgullo delante de Mí. Cometieron repugnancia delante de Mí. Cuando lo vi, la quité.
51 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.
Pero Samaria no cometió ni la mitad de tus pecados, porque tú multiplicaste tus repugnancias más que ellas. Así, con todas las repugnancias que cometiste, lograste que tus hermanas parezcan justas.
52 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.
Tú, que juzgaste a tus hermanas, lleva también tu propia vergüenza, porque con tus pecados que cometiste fuiste más repugnante que ellas. Lograste que ellas parezcan más justas que tú.
53 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.
Pero Yo cambiaré su cautividad, la cautividad de Sodoma y sus hijas y la cautividad de Samaria y sus hijas. Y devolveré a ellas los cautivos de tu cautividad,
54 So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.
para que lleves tu afrenta, te avergüences de todo lo que hiciste y así las consueles.
55 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.
Tus hermanas, Sodoma con sus hijas y Samaria con sus hijas, volverán a su estado antiguo. También tú y tus hijas volverán al primer estado.
56 Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,
Tu hermana Sodoma no era digna de mención en tus labios en el tiempo de tu orgullo,
57 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.
antes que tu perversidad fuera descubierta. Así también ahora eres el reproche de las hijas de Edom y de todas las hijas de los filisteos, las cuales te desprecian por todas partes.
58 The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.
Sufre tú el castigo de tu perversidad y de tus repugnancias, dice Yavé.
59 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.
Porque ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¿Haré contigo como tú hiciste conmigo, que despreciaste el juramento para invalidar el Pacto?
60 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.
Sin embargo, Yo recordaré mi Pacto que concerté contigo en los días de tu juventud y estableceré contigo un Pacto sempiterno.
61 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.
Entonces tú te acordarás de tu camino. Te avergonzarás cuando recibas a tus hermanas, la mayor y la menor que tú, a quienes Yo te las daré como hijas. Pero no por causa de tu pacto,
62 And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:
sino del Pacto que Yo estableceré contigo. Y sabrás que Yo soy Yavé,
63 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.
para que te acuerdes, te avergüences y no vuelvas a abrir tu boca de vergüenza cuando Yo te perdone todo lo que hiciste, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
