Ezekiel 23
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Me llegó un mensaje del Señor que decía:
2 “Son of man, two women were daughters of one mother,
“Hijo de hombre, había una vez dos mujeres. Eran hijas de la misma madre.
3 and they fornicated in Egypt; they committed fornication in their youth. In that place, their breasts were conquered; the breasts of their adolescence were subdued.
Se prostituyeron en Egipto. De hecho, fueron prostitutas desde que eran jóvenes. Se dejaban acariciar los pechos vírgenes y apretar los pezones.
4 Now their names were Oholah, the elder, and Oholibah, her younger sister. And I held them, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
La mayor se llamaba Ahola, y su hermana Aholiba. Me casé con ambas y tuvieron hijos e hijas. Ahola representa a Samaria, y Aholiba a Jerusalén.
5 And then, Oholah committed fornication against me, and she acted madly with her lovers, with the Assyrians who approached her,
“Ahola se prostituyó mientras estaba casada conmigo. Quería tener relaciones sexuales con sus amantes, los asirios.
6 who were clothed with hyacinth: rulers and magistrates, passionate youths and all of the horsemen, mounted on horses.
Eran soldados vestidos de azul, líderes y comandantes, todos ellos jóvenes apuestos de la caballería.
7 And she distributed her fornications to those chosen men, all of them sons of the Assyrians. And she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all those whom she madly desired.
Se entregó sexualmente a todos los hombres importantes de Asiria. Se hizo impura por su adoración a todos los ídolos de esos hombres con los que quería tener sexo.
8 Moreover, she also did not abandon her fornications, which she had done in Egypt. For they also slept with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and they poured out their fornication upon her.
“No dejó la prostitución que había iniciado en Egipto: los hombres se acostaban con ella cuando era joven, estrujaban sus pechos vírgenes y la utilizaban para satisfacer su apetito sexual.
9 Because of this, I have delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assur, whom she has lustfully desired.
Así que la entregué a sus amantes, los asirios con los que quería tener sexo.
10 They uncovered her shame; they took away her sons and daughters; and they slew her with the sword. And they became infamous women. And they carried out judgments in her.
La desnudaron, se llevaron a sus hijos e hijas y la mataron a espada. Se hizo infame entre las mujeres, y la castigaron.
11 And when her sister, Oholibah, had seen this, she was even more mad with lust than the other. And her fornication was beyond the fornication of her sister.
“Aholiba vio lo que le sucedió a su hermana, pero se volvió aún peor que ella en su deseo de tener sexo y practicar la prostitución.
12 She shamelessly offered herself to the sons of the Assyrians, to the rulers and magistrates who brought themselves to her clothed with colorful garments, to the horsemen who were carried by horses, and to the youths, all of them exceptional in appearance.
También quería tener relaciones sexuales con los asirios: sus líderes y comandantes, sus soldados espléndidamente vestidos, todos ellos jóvenes apuestos de la caballería.
13 And I saw that she had been defiled, and that they both took the same path.
Vi que ella también se había ensuciado: ambas hermanas hacían lo mismo.
14 And she increased her fornications. And when she had seen men depicted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans, expressed in colors,
“Sin embargo, la prostitución de Aholiba era aún peor. Ella vio pintadas en la pared imágenes de soldados babilónicos con uniformes de color rojo intenso.
15 with belts wrapped around the waist, and with dyed headdresses on their heads, having seen the appearance of all the rulers, the likenesses of the sons of Babylon and of the land of the Chaldeans in which they were born,
Llevaban cinturones en la cintura y grandes turbantes en la cabeza. Todos se parecían a los oficiales babilónicos de Caldea, el país donde habían nacido.
16 she became mad for them with the desire of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
Cuando ella vio las pinturas de ellos, quiso tener relaciones sexuales con ellos y les envió mensajeros a Caldea.
17 And when the sons of Babylon had gone to her, to the bed of breasts, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was gorged by them.
Los babilonios se acercaron a ella y a su lecho de amor, y la mancillaron con su deseo sexual. Sin embargo, después de haber sido deshonrada por ellos, los rechazó con disgusto.
18 Also, her fornications were uncovered, and her shame was revealed. And my soul withdrew from her, as my soul had withdrawn from her sister.
“Cuando Aholiba se prostituyó tan descaradamente, exponiéndose desnuda, me aparté de ella con disgusto, tal como había hecho con su hermana.
19 For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she fornicated in the land of Egypt.
Pero ella practicó aún más la prostitución, recordando cómo había sido prostituta en Egipto cuando era joven.
20 And she was mad with lust after lying with them, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose flow is like the flow of horses.
Quería tener relaciones sexuales con sus amantes, que tenían genitales como los de los burros y que eyaculaban como los de los sementales.
21 And you have revisited the crimes of your youth, when your breasts were conquered in Egypt, and the breasts of your adolescence were subdued.
“Volvió a los actos indecentes de cuando era joven, cuando los egipcios le apretaban los pezones y acariciaban sus jóvenes pechos.
22 Because of this, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will raise up against you all of your lovers, with whom your soul has been gorged. And I will gather them together against you all around:
Así que Aholiba, esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Voy a animar a tus amantes a que te ataquen, a los que rechazaste con disgusto. Los traeré para que te ataquen desde todas las direcciones:
23 the sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, the sovereigns and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, youths of exceptional form, all the rulers and magistrates, the leaders among leaders, and the renowned riders of horses.
los babilonios y todos los caldeos, los hombres de Pecod, Soa y Coa, y todos los asirios junto con ellos: todos jóvenes apuestos, líderes y comandantes, capitanes de carros y oficiales importantes, todos montando a caballo.
24 And they will overwhelm you, well-equipped with chariot and wheel, a multitude of peoples. They will be armed against you on every side with armor and shield and helmet. And I will give judgment to their eyes, and they will judge you with their judgments.
“Te atacarán desde el norte, invadiendo con un gran ejército, carros y carretas. Vendrán con sus escudos y cascos y os rodearán. Te entregaré a ellos para que te castiguen, y ellos te juzgarán y castigarán siguiendo sus propias leyes.
25 And against you, I will set my zeal, which they will execute upon you with fury. They will cut off your nose and your ears. And what remains will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and your daughters, and your youngest will be devoured by fire.
Siento tanto lo que has hecho que me opondré a ti, y te tratarán muy mal. Les cortarán las narices y las orejas, y matarán a los que queden de ustedes. Se llevarán a vuestros hijos e hijas como prisioneros, y los que queden serán destruidos por el fuego.
26 And they will strip you of your vestments, and take away the articles of your glory.
Les arrancarán sus ropas y les quitarán sus hermosas joyas.
27 And I will cause your wickedness to cease from you, and your fornication to cease from the land of Egypt. Neither shall you lift up your eyes toward them, and you shall no longer remember Egypt.
Voy a poner fin a su inmoralidad y a su prostitución, que comenzaron en Egipto. No pensarás con nostalgia en esos tiempos, y te olvidarás de Egipto.
28 For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you have hated, into the hands by which your soul has been gorged.
“Porque esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Créanme cuando les digo que los voy a entregar al pueblo que odian, al que rechazaron con asco.
29 And they will act toward you with hatred, and they will take away all your labors, and they will send you away naked and filled with disgrace. And the shame of your fornication will be revealed: your crimes and your fornications.
Ellos te tratarán con odio. Te quitarán todo lo que has trabajado, dejándote al desnudo sin nada, de modo que los actos indecentes de tu prostitución quedarán al descubierto. Tu inmoralidad y prostitución
30 They have done these things to you, because you have fornicated after the Gentiles, among whom you were defiled by their idols.
es la razón por la que te ha sucedido todo esto, porque actuaste como una prostituta con las naciones y te ensuciaste adorando a sus ídolos.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, and so I will give her chalice into your hand.
Por haber hecho lo que hizo tu hermana, te daré a beber su copa.
32 Thus says the Lord God: You will drink the chalice of your sister, deep and wide. You will be held in derision and in ridicule, to a very great extent.
“Esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Beberás de la copa de tu hermana, una copa grande y profunda. Se reirán de ti y te insultarán. Tendrás que soportar mucho de esto.
33 You will be filled with inebriation and sorrow, by the chalice of grief and sadness, by the chalice of your sister Samaria.
Te embriagará y te llenará de dolor porque es una copa que trae horror y destrucción, la copa de la que bebió tu hermana Samaria.
34 And you will drink it, and you will empty it, even to the dregs. And you will consume even its particles. And you will wound your own breasts. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.
La beberás toda, la harás pedazos en el suelo y te desgarrarás el pecho. Esto es lo que he dicho, declara el Señor Dios.
35 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have forgotten me, and you have cast me behind your body, so also will you bear your wickedness and your fornications.”
En resumen, esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Porque te has olvidado de mí y me has ignorado, tendrás que experimentar las consecuencias de tu inmoralidad y prostitución”.
36 And the Lord spoke to me, saying: “Son of man, should you not judge Oholah and Oholibah, and announce to them their crimes?
Entonces el Señor me dijo “Hijo de hombre, ¿vas a condenar a Ahola y a Aholiba? ¡Denuncia las cosas repugnantes que han hecho!
37 For they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands, and they have fornicated with their idols. Moreover, they have offered even their children, whom they bore for me, to them to be devoured.
Porque han cometido adulterio y son culpables de asesinato. Han cometido adulterio con sus ídolos, y hasta han ofrecido a sus hijos, que tenían para mí, como sacrificios a sus ídolos.
38 But they have done even this to me: They have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and they have profaned my Sabbaths.
“Ellos también me hicieron esto: El mismo día que ensuciaron mi santuario y violaron mis sábados.
39 And when they immolated their children to their idols, they also entered my sanctuary on the same day, so that they defiled it. They have done these things, even in the midst of my house.
El mismo día en que mataron a sus hijos para sus ídolos, fueron a mi santuario y lo ensuciaron. ¡Miren lo que hicieron dentro de mi Templo!
40 They sent for men who were coming from far away, to whom they had sent a messenger. And so, behold, they arrived, those for whom you washed yourself, and smeared cosmetics around your eyes, and were adorned with feminine ornaments.
“Ellos incluso seguía enviando mensajeros para que los hombres vinieran de lejos. Cuando los hombres llegaban, os preparabais para ellos bañándoos, maquillándoos los ojos y poniéndoos las joyas.
41 You sat upon a very beautiful bed, and a table was adorned before you, on which you placed my incense and my ointment.
Os sentabais en un costoso sofá, con mi incienso y mi aceite en una mesa colocada delante.
42 And the voice of a multitude was exulting within her. And concerning certain men, who were being led out of a multitude of persons, and who were arriving from the desert, they placed bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.
La sala estaba llena del ruido de la gente que estaba de fiesta. Trajeron a hombres borrachos del desierto junto con algunas personas comunes, y te pusieron brazaletes en las muñecas y hermosas coronas en la cabeza.
43 And I said about her, as she was being worn away by her adulteries, ‘Even now, she continues in her fornication!’
“Entonces dije acerca de la vieja desgastada: ‘¡Ahora pueden tenerla como prostituta, porque eso es lo que es!’.
44 And they entered to her, as if to a kept woman. So did they enter to Oholah and Oholibah, nefarious women.
“Así que tuvieron sexo con ella como una prostituta. Tuvieron relaciones sexuales con Ahola y Aholiba, esas mujeres inmorales.
45 But there are just men; these shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of those who shed blood. For they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
Pero los hombres que creen en lo correcto los juzgarán y les impondrán el castigo por cometer adulterio y asesinato, porque son adúlteros y asesinos.
46 For thus says the Lord God: Lead upon them a multitude, and hand them over to tumult and to pillaging.
“Esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: ¡Que una turba las ataque! Aterrorícenlos y rómpanlos.
47 And may they be stoned with the stones of the peoples, and may they be pierced with their own swords. They will put to death their sons and daughters, and they will burn their houses with fire.
La turba los apedreará y los matará con sus espadas, matando a sus hijos e hijas y quemando sus casas.
48 And I will take away wickedness from the land. And all women shall learn not to act according to their wickedness.
Así acabaré con la inmoralidad en el país, y todas las mujeres serán advertidas de no hacer lo que ustedes han hecho.
49 And they will set your own crimes upon you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.”
Te castigarán por tu inmoralidad, y tendrás que experimentar las consecuencias de tu adoración de ídolos. Entonces sabrás que yo soy el Señor Dios”.
