Ezekiel 23
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
2 “Son of man, two women were daughters of one mother,
Hijo de hombre, hubo dos mujeres, 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.
y se prostituyeron en Egipto. En su juventud se prostituyeron. Allí fueron apretados sus pechos. Allí fueron estrujados sus senos virginales.
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.
Ahola se llamaba la mayor y Aholiba era su hermana. Después fueron mías, y dieron a luz hijos e hijas. En cuanto a sus nombres, Samaria es Ahola y Jerusalén Aholiba.
5 And then, Oholah committed fornication against me, and she acted madly with her lovers, with the Assyrians who approached her,
Ahola, cuando era mía, se prostituyó y se enamoró de sus amantes asirios,
6 who were clothed with hyacinth: rulers and magistrates, passionate youths and all of the horsemen, mounted on horses.
guerreros cubiertos de púrpura, gobernadores y sátrapas, todos ellos eran jóvenes codiciables, jinetes que montaban caballos.
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.
A ellos les brindó sus prostituciones, a los más escogidos hijos de Asiria. Se contaminó con todos los ídolos de ellos.
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.
Pero no dejó de prostituirse con los egipcios, los cuales en su juventud se unieron con ella, apretaron sus pechos virginales y vertieron en ella su lujuria.
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.
Por lo cual la entregué en la mano de sus amantes, en la mano de los asirios, de quienes se enamoró.
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.
Ellos la desnudaron. Le quitaron a sus hijos e hijas. A ella la mataron a espada y fue un dicho entre las mujeres por causa de la sentencia que le fue aplicada.
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.
Su hermana Aholiba vio esto. Enloqueció de lujuria más que Ahola. Se prostituyó más que su hermana.
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.
Se enamoró de los asirios, gobernadores y sátrapas, guerreros cubiertos con esplendidez, jinetes que montaban a caballo. Todos ellos eran jóvenes codiciables.
13 And I saw that she had been defiled, and that they both took the same path.
Observé que ella se contaminó. Las dos tomaron el mismo camino.
14 And she increased her fornications. And when she had seen men depicted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans, expressed in colors,
Aumentó sus prostituciones cuando vio hombres pintados en la pared, imágenes de caldeos pintadas con color,
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,
atados con cinturones en la cintura, con turbantes de colores en sus cabezas, todos ellos con apariencia de sátrapas a la manera de los babilonios de Caldea, la tierra de su nacimiento.
16 she became mad for them with the desire of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
Cuando los vio, se enamoró de 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 unieron a ella en su lecho de amor y la contaminaron con su prostitución. Y cuando fue contaminada por ellos, su alma sintió repugnancia hacia ellos.
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.
Así mostró sus prostituciones y descubrió su desnudez. Entonces me disgusté con ella, como mi alma repugnó a 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 multiplicó sus prostituciones. Recordó los días de su juventud en los cuales se prostituyó en la tierra de Egipto.
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.
Se enardeció por sus amantes que tienen miembro viril como los burros y eyaculan como los caballos.
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.
Así añorabas la inmundicia de tu juventud cuando los egipcios estrujaron tus pechos y apretujaron tus pechos juveniles.
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:
Por tanto Aholiba, ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente Yo excito contra ti a tus amantes a los cuales repugnaste. Los traigo contra ti de todas partes:
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 de Babilonia y todos los caldeos, los de Pecod, Soa y Coa y todos los de Asiria con ellos, jóvenes codiciables, gobernadores y sátrapas, nobles y varones de renombre. Todos ellos que montan 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.
vienen contra ti con carruajes, carretas y una multitud de pueblos. Se pondrán en formación contra ti con escudos oblongos de mano que cubren casi todo el cuerpo y yelmos. Yo les encargaré que te juzguen según sus normas.
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.
Pondré mi celo contra ti para que ellos te traten con furor. Te amputarán la nariz y las orejas. Tus sobrevivientes caerán a espada. Tomarán a tus hijos y a tus hijas. Tu remanente será consumido por el fuego.
26 And they will strip you of your vestments, and take away the articles of your glory.
Te despojarán de tus ropas y tus bellas 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.
Así detendré tu lujuria y tus prostituciones que trajiste de Egipto, de modo que no alces más tus ojos hacia ellos ni recuerdes a 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 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: En verdad te entrego en la mano de los que tú aborreciste, a quienes tu alma repugnó,
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.
los cuales te tratarán con odio. Te quitarán todo el fruto de tu labor. Te dejarán desnuda y descubierta. Quedará al descubierto la inmundicia de tus fornicaciones, tu lujuria 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.
Estas cosas te harán porque te prostituiste con las naciones, pues te contaminaste con sus ídolos.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, and so I will give her chalice into your hand.
Porque anduviste en el camino de tu hermana, Yo pondré su copa en tu mano.
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.
ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Beberás la profunda y ancha copa de tu hermana. Las naciones se burlarán de ti y te escarnecerán.
33 You will be filled with inebriation and sorrow, by the chalice of grief and sadness, by the chalice of your sister Samaria.
De embriaguez y dolor estarás llena. Es la copa del horror y la desolación. Es la copa de 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 hasta agotarla, lamerás el fondo, destrozarás sus tiestos y rasgarás tus pechos, porque Yo hablé, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
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.”
Por tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Puesto que te olvidaste de Mí y me diste la espalda, lleva ahora sobre ti tu perversidad y tus prostituciones.
36 And the Lord spoke to me, saying: “Son of man, should you not judge Oholah and Oholibah, and announce to them their crimes?
Y Yavé me dijo: Hijo de hombre, ¿no vas a juzgar tú a Ahola y a Aholiba? Entonces denuncia sus repugnantes prácticas.
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 cometieron adulterio y hay sangre en sus manos. Cometieron adulterio con sus ídolos, y al pasarlos por el fuego mataron a sus hijos que me dieron a luz.
38 But they have done even this to me: They have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and they have profaned my Sabbaths.
Me hicieron también esto: el mismo día contaminaron mi Santuario y profanaron 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.
porque después de matar a sus hijos ante sus ídolos, ese mismo día entraron en mi Santuario para profanarlo. Eso fue lo que hicieron en mi Casa.
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.
Además enviaste mensaje a hombres que llegan de lejos. Les enviabas mensajeros y llegaban en seguida. Por amor a ellos te lavaste, pintaste tus ojos y te ataviaste con adornos.
41 You sat upon a very beautiful bed, and a table was adorned before you, on which you placed my incense and my ointment.
Te recostabas en un diván espléndido, ante el cual había una mesa preparada. Sobre ella pusiste mi incienso y mi aceite.
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.
Resonaba allí el rumor de una multitud despreocupada de hombres llevados del desierto, que pusieron brazaletes en los brazos de las mujeres y magníficas coronas en las cabezas de ellas.
43 And I said about her, as she was being worn away by her adulteries, ‘Even now, she continues in her fornication!’
Entonces dije con respecto a la que estaba desgastada por los adulterios: ¿Ahora cometerán prostitución con ella?
44 And they entered to her, as if to a kept woman. So did they enter to Oholah and Oholibah, nefarious women.
Porque vienen a ella como el que va a una prostituta. Así entraban a estas depravadas mujeres, Ahola y Aholiba.
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 justos las juzgarán según la ley de las adúlteras y según la ley de las mujeres sanguinarias, porque son adúlteras y hay sangre en sus manos.
46 For thus says the Lord God: Lead upon them a multitude, and hand them over to tumult and to pillaging.
Por tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Que se convoque una turba contra ellas, y sean entregadas al terror y al pillaje.
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 las lapidará y las cortará con sus espadas. Matarán a sus hijos y a sus hijas, y consumirán sus casas con fuego.
48 And I will take away wickedness from the land. And all women shall learn not to act according to their wickedness.
Así se acabará la lujuria en la tierra. Todas las mujeres se corregirán con rigor de modo que no harán según las perversidades de ustedes.
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.”
Pondrán sus perversidades sobre ustedes. Llevarán el castigo de su idolatría. Y sabrán que Yo soy ʼAdonay Yavé.
