Ezekiel 24
1 And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,
El año noveno, el mes décimo, a los diez días del mes, la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
2 Son of man, put down in writing this very day: The king of Babylon let loose the weight of his attack against Jerusalem on this very day.
Hijo de hombre, escribe la fecha de este día, pues en este mismo día el rey de Babilonia sitió a Jerusalén.
3 And make a comparison for this uncontrolled people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Put on the cooking-pot, put it on the fire and put water in it:
Habla una parábola a la casa rebelde: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Pon la olla, colócala, y echa agua en ella.
4 And get the bits together, the fat tail, every good part, the leg and the top part of it: make it full of the best bones.
Echa los trozos que te pertenecen en ella: trozos selectos, la pierna y la espaldilla. Llénala de huesos escogidos.
5 Take the best of the flock, put much wood under it: see that its bits are boiling well; let the bones be cooked inside it.
Toma lo mejor del rebaño. Apila la leña debajo de la olla para que hierva bien. Cocina sus huesos dentro de ella.
6 For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it.
Pues ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Ay de la ciudad sanguinaria, de la oxidada olla de cocinar cuyo óxido no despega! Vacíala poco a poco. No eches suerte sobre ella
7 For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust;
porque su sangre está dentro de ella. La derramó sobre una roca lisa, no sobre la tierra para que el polvo la cubriera,
8 In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered.
a fin de causarme furor y llegue a vengarme. Yo puse su sangre en roca lisa para que no sea cubierta.
9 For this cause the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood! and I will make great the burning mass.
Por tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Ay de la ciudad sanguinaria! Yo también haré la hoguera grande.
10 Put on much wood, heating up the fire, boiling the flesh well, and making the soup thick, and let the bones be burned.
Apilen la leña y enciendan el fuego para cocinar bien la carne. Cocinen la carne, hagan la salsa y quemen los huesos.
11 And I will put her on the coals so that she may be heated and her brass burned, so that what is unclean in her may become soft and her waste be completely taken away.
Luego pónganla vacía sobre las brasas para que el cobre se caliente y brille, su impureza se derrita y su óxido se consuma.
12 I have made myself tired to no purpose: still all the waste which is in her has not come out, it has an evil smell.
Pero vano es el esfuerzo, pues no salió de ella su mucho óxido. Solo en el fuego será consumido su óxido.
13 As for your unclean purpose: because I have been attempting to make you clean, but you have not been made clean from it, you will not be made clean till I have let loose my passion on you in full measure.
Hay perversidad en tu impureza, porque intenté purificarte, pero no estás purificada. No serás purificada de tu impureza hasta que Yo descargue mi furor sobre ti.
14 I the Lord have said the word and I will do it; I will not go back or have mercy, and my purpose will not be changed; in the measure of your ways and of your evil doings you will be judged, says the Lord.
Yo, Yavé, hablé. Se cumplirá. Yo lo cumpliré. No retrocederé ni me compadeceré ni me pesará. Te juzgarán según tu conducta y según tus obras, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
16 Son of man, see, I am taking away the desire of your eyes by disease: but let there be no sorrow or weeping or drops running from your eyes.
Hijo de hombre, mira, voy a quitarte de golpe el deleite de tus ojos. No lamentes, ni llores, ni corran tus lágrimas.
17 Let there be no sound of sorrow; make no weeping for your dead, put on your head-dress and your shoes on your feet, let not your lips be covered, and do not take the food of those in grief.
Gime en silencio, no hagas el lamento por los muertos, átate el turbante y ponte las sandalias en tus pies. No te cubras el labio ni comas pan de duelo.
18 So in the morning I was teaching the people and in the evening death took my wife; and in the morning I did what I had been ordered to do.
Por tanto hablé al pueblo por la mañana, y al llegar la noche murió mi esposa. En la mañana hice como me fue mandado.
19 And the people said to me, Will you not make clear to us the sense of these things; is it for us you do them?
El pueblo me decía: ¿No nos dirás qué significan para nosotros estas cosas que haces?
20 Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Y les contesté: La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
21 Say to the people of Israel, The Lord has said, See, I will make my holy place unclean, the pride of your strength, the pleasure of your eyes, and the desire of your soul; and your sons and daughters, who did not come with you here, will be put to the sword.
Dí a la Casa de Israel: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente voy a profanar mi Santuario, que es la exaltación, la fuerza de ustedes, el deseo de sus ojos y deleite de su alma. Sus hijos y sus hijas que queden caerán a espada.
22 And you will do as I have done, not covering your lips or taking the food of those in grief.
Entonces harán lo que yo hice. No se cubrirán su labio, ni comerán pan de duelo.
23 And your head-dresses will be on your heads and your shoes on your feet: there will be no sorrow or weeping; but you will be wasting away in the punishment of your evil-doing, and you will be looking at one another in wonder.
Sus turbantes estarán en sus cabezas y sus sandalias en sus pies. No lamentarán ni llorarán, sino desfallecerán en sus iniquidades y gemirán unos con otros.
24 And Ezekiel will be a sign to you; everything he has done you will do: when this takes place, you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Ezequiel les servirá de señal. Ustedes harán todo lo que él hizo. Cuando esto ocurra, sabrán que Yo soy ʼAdonay Yavé.
25 And as for you, son of man, your mouth will be shut in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which their hearts are fixed, and their sons and daughters.
Y tú, hijo de hombre, no estarás el día cuando Yo les quite su fortaleza, el gozo de su gloria, el deleite de sus ojos y el anhelo de sus almas y [cuando les quite] a sus hijos e hijas.
26 In that day, one who has got away safe will come to you to give you news of it.
Aquel día un fugitivo llegará a ti para comunicar la noticia a tus oídos.
27 In that day your mouth will be open to him who has got away safe, and you will say words to him and your lips will no longer be shut: so you will be a sign to them and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
Aquel día tu boca será abierta para hablar al fugitivo. Hablarás y ya no estarás mudo. Les servirás de señal. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
