Ezekiel 22
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Entonces la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
2 And thou son of man, dost thou not judge, dost thou not judge the city of blood?
Y tú, hijo de hombre, ¿quieres juzgar a la ciudad sanguinaria? Denuncia entonces todas sus repugnancias.
3 And thou shalt shew her all her abominations, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: This is the city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come: and that hath made idols against herself, to defile herself.
ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Oh ciudad derramadora de sangre dentro de ti, que vas hacia tu fin y que te contaminaste al fabricarte tus ídolos!
4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood which thou hast shed: and thou art defiled in thy idols which thou hast made: and thou hast made thy days to draw near, and hast brought on the time of thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all countries.
Eres culpable por la sangre que derramaste. Te contaminaste con los ídolos que te hiciste. Precipitaste tu hora. Se acerca el fin de tu existencia. Por tanto te convierto en reproche de los pueblos y en burla de todas las tierras.
5 Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall triumph over thee: thou filthy one, infamous, great in destruction.
Las que están cerca y las que están lejos se burlarán de ti, famosa por tu impureza y llena de confusión.
6 Behold the princes of Israel, every one hath employed his arm in thee to shed blood.
Mira, los gobernantes de Israel, cada uno según su poder, estuvieron en ti con el propósito de derramar sangre.
7 They have abused father and mother in thee, they have oppressed the stranger in the midst of thee, they have grieved the fatherless and widow in thee.
En ti desprecian al padre y a la madre, atropellan al extranjero, despojan al huérfano y a la viuda,
8 Thou hast despised my sanctuaries, and profaned my sabbaths.
menosprecian mis cosas sagradas y profanan mis sábados.
9 Slanderers have been in thee to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains in thee, they have committed wickedness in the midst of thee.
En ti hay hombres que calumnian para derramar sangre, van a comer a los lugares altos y cometen perversidades.
10 They have discovered the nakedness of their father in thee, they have humbled the uncleanness of the menstruous woman in thee.
En ti descubren la desnudez del padre y violan a la mujer durante su flujo menstrual.
11 And every one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife, and the father in law hath wickedly defiled his daughter in law, the brother hath oppressed his sister the daughter of his father in thee.
En ti cada uno comete repugnancia con la esposa de su prójimo, contamina perversamente a su nuera y viola a su hermana, hija de su padre.
12 They have taken gifts in thee to shed blood: thou hast taken usury and increase, and hast covetously oppressed thy neighbours: and then hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God.
En ti reciben soborno para derramar sangre. Prestas por interés y con usura. Defraudas con violencia a tu prójimo. Te olvidaste de Mí, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
13 Behold, I have clapped my hands at thy covetousness, which thou hast exercised and at the blood that hath been shed: In the midst of thee.
Entonces mira, Yo bato las manos por la ganancia deshonesta que adquieres y por la sangre derramada que hay dentro de ti.
14 Shall thy heart endure, or shall thy hands prevail ill the days which I will bring upon thee: I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.
¿Estará firme tu corazón? ¿Tus manos estarán fuertes el día cuando Yo proceda contra ti? Yo, Yavé, hablé y lo cumpliré.
15 And I will disperse thee in the nations, and will scatter thee among the countries, and I will put an end to thy uncleanness in thee.
Te dispersaré entre los pueblos. Te esparciré por las tierras y acabaré tu inmundicia.
16 And I will possess thee in the sight of the Gentiles, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Tú misma serás contaminada a vista de las naciones. Y sabrás que Yo soy Yavé.
17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
18 Son of man, the house of Israel is become dress to me: all these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace: they are become the dress of silver.
Hijo de hombre, la Casa de Israel se me convirtió en escoria. En el crisol, todos ellos se convirtieron en bronce, estaño, hierro y escoria de plata.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you are all turned into dress, therefore behold I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem.
Por tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Por cuanto todos se convirtieron en escoria, ciertamente Yo los reuniré en Jerusalén.
20 As they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace: that I may kindle a fire in it to melt it: so will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and will take my rest, and I will melt you down.
Como reúnen la plata, el bronce, el hierro, el plomo y el estaño en el horno, y soplan fuego sobre ellos para fundirlos, así los reuniré en mi furor. Soplaré, y los fundiré.
21 And I will gather you together, and will burn you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst thereof.
Sí, los reuniré y soplaré sobre ustedes con el fuego de mi furor. Serán fundidos.
22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have poured out my indignation upon you.
Como la plata se funde en el crisol, serán fundidos en ella. Y sabrán que Yo, Yavé, derramé mi furor sobre ustedes.
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
24 Son of man, say to her: Thou art a land that is unclean, and not rained upon in the day of wrath.
Hijo de hombre, dí a ella: Eres una tierra no limpiada, ni rociada con lluvia el día de mi furor.
25 There is a conspiracy of prophets in the midst thereof: like a lion that roareth and catcheth the prey, they have devoured souls, they have taken riches and hire, they have made many widows in the midst thereof.
Hay conspiración de tus profetas dentro de ti, como león rugiente que arrebata presa. Devoraron vidas, arrebataron riqueza y cosas preciosas, y dejaron en ti muchas viudas.
26 Her priests have despised my law, and have defiled my sanctuaries: they have put no difference between holy and profane: nor have distinguished between the polluted and the clean: and they have turned away their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them.
Sus sacerdotes violan mi Ley y contaminan mis cosas santas. No distinguen entre lo santo y lo profano. No enseñan la diferencia entre lo impuro y lo puro. Ocultan sus ojos de mis sábados. De este modo Yo soy profanado por ellos.
27 Her princes in the midst of her, are like wolves ravening the prey to shed blood, and to destroy souls, and to run after gains through covetousness.
Sus magistrados son como lobos que arrebatan la presa, que derraman sangre y destruyen vidas a fin de obtener ganancia deshonesta.
28 And her prophets have daubed them without tempering the mortar, seeing vain things, and divining lies unto them, saying: Thus saith the Lord God: when the Lord hath not spoken.
Al profetizarles vanidad y adivinarles mentira sus profetas cubren con mortero blanco de cal y arena. Les dicen: Así dice ʼAdonay Yavé, cuando Yavé no habló.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, and committed robbery: they afflicted the needy and poor, and they oppressed the stranger by calumny without judgment.
El pueblo de la tierra oprime, roba, comete violencia contra el pobre y extorsiona al necesitado y al extranjero.
30 And I sought among them for a man that might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me in favour of the land, that I might not destroy it: and I found none.
Busqué entre ellos un hombre que levantara un terraplén y que se metiera en la brecha delante de Mí a favor de la tierra para que Yo no la destruya, pero no lo hallé.
31 And I poured out my indignation upon them, in the fire of my wrath I consumed them: I have rendered their way upon their own head, saith the Lord God.
Por tanto derramo sobre ellos mi furor. Los consumo con el ardor de mi ira. Hago caer sus caminos sobre su cabeza, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
