Ezekiel 16
1 Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Me llegó otro mensaje del Señor, que decía:
2 “Son of man, challenge Jerusalem over her disgusting practices.
“Hijo de hombre, desafía a Jerusalén por sus prácticas repugnantes.
3 Tell Jerusalem that this is what the Lord God says to her: You really are a Canaanite, both by your birth and parentage. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
Dile a Jerusalén que esto es lo que el Señor Dios le dice: Realmente eres cananea, tanto por tu nacimiento como por tu parentesco. Tu padre era amorreo y tu madre era hitita.
4 On the day you were born your cord was not cut, and you weren't washed to clean you up, you weren't rubbed with salt, and you weren't wrapped in cloths.
El día que naciste no te cortaron el cordón umbilical, ni te lavaron para limpiarte, ni te frotaron con sal, ni te envolvieron en paños.
5 No one looked on you with love to do anything like this for you; no one showed any kind of care for you. No, you were thrown away in a field, abandoned and despised from the day you were born.
Nadie te miró con amor para hacer algo así por ti; nadie mostró ningún tipo de cuidado por ti. No, sino que fuiste arrojado a un campo, abandonado y despreciado desde el día en que naciste.
6 But I passed by and saw you kicking, covered in your own blood. As you were lying there in your blood I told you, ‘I want you to live!’ I said to you right there, ‘I want you to live!’
“Pero pasé por allí y te vi dando patadas, cubierto en tu propia sangre. Mientras yacías allí, cubierto de sangre, te dije: ‘¡Quiero que vivas!’ Allí mismo te dije: ‘¡Quiero que vivas!’
7 I help you to grow like a plant in the field. You grew up into a beautiful young woman. Your breasts developed and your body hair grew, and you were completely naked.
Te ayudé a crecer como una planta en el campo. Creciste hasta convertirte en una hermosa joven. Tus pechos se desarrollaron y el vello de tu cuerpo creció, y estabas completamente desnuda.
8 When I passed by again, I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for lovemaking. So I spread my robe over you and covered up your naked body. I committed myself to you and made a solemn agreement with you, and made you mine, declares the Lord God.
“Cuando volví a pasar por allí, te miré y vi que estabas en edad de hacer el amor. Así que extendí mi manto sobre ti y cubrí tu cuerpo desnudo. Me comprometí contigo e hice un acuerdo solemne contigo, y te hice mía, declara el Señor Dios.
9 Then I washed you with water, cleaned off your blood, and anointed you with oil.
Luego te lavé con agua, limpié tu sangre y te ungí con aceite.
10 I put a beautifully embroidered dress on you and gave you fine leather sandals. I clothed you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
Te puse un vestido bellamente bordado y te di sandalias de cuero fino. Te vestí de lino fino y te cubrí de seda.
11 I gave you jewelry—I put bracelets on your wrists and a necklace around your neck.
Te regalé joyas: te puse brazaletes en las muñecas y un collar en el cuello.
12 I put a ring in your nose and earrings on your ears, and placed a beautiful crown on your head.
Te puse un anillo en la nariz y aretes en las orejas, y coloqué una hermosa corona en tu cabeza.
13 You wore gold and silver jewelry, and your clothes were made of the finest linen, expensive fabric, and embroidered cloth. You ate bread made with the best flour, and honey and olive oil. You grew even more beautiful and became a queen.
“Llevabas joyas de oro y plata, y tus ropas eran de lino fino, de telas costosas y de telas bordadas. Comiste pan hecho con la mejor harina, y miel y aceite de oliva. Te embelleciste aún más y te convertiste en una reina.
14 You were famous around the world because of your beauty, for I used my majestic power to make you so wonderful, declares the Lord God.
Fuiste famosa en todo el mundo por tu belleza, porque usé mi poder majestuoso para hacerte tan maravillosa, declara el Señor Dios.
15 You were so proud of your beauty that you were unfaithful to me. You thought that because you were so famous you could prostitute yourself and sleep with anyone who passed by. They took your beautiful body for themselves.
“Estabas tan orgullosa de tu belleza que me fuiste infiel. Pensaste que por ser tan famosa podías prostituirte y acostarte con cualquiera que pasara por allí. Tomaron para sí tu hermoso cuerpo.
16 You made yourself colorful pagan shrines out of the clothes I'd given you, and there you acted as a prostitute. Things like this have never happened before, and they should never happen in the future!
Te hiciste santuarios paganos de colores con la ropa que te había dado, y allí actuaste como una prostituta. Cosas así nunca habían sucedido antes, ¡y no deben suceder en el futuro!
17 You also used the beautiful gold and silver jewelry I gave you to make male idols and you prostituted yourself with them.
“También usaste las hermosas joyas de oro y plata que te di para hacer ídolos masculinos y te prostituiste con ellas.
18 You used your embroidered clothes to dress them, and you placed before them my olive oil and incense.
Usaste tus ropas bordadas para vestirlos, y colocaste ante ellos mi aceite de oliva y mi incienso.
19 You presented the food I had given you as an offering for them to accept —bread made from the best flour, olive oil, and honey that I had provided for you to eat. That's exactly what you did, declares the Lord God.
Presentaste la comida que te había dado como ofrenda para que la aceptaran -panes hechos con la mejor harina, aceite de oliva y miel que yo te había proporcionado para comer. Eso es exactamente lo que hiciste, declara el Señor Dios.
20 You sacrificed your sons and daughters—the children you had for me—offering them as food for idols to eat. Wasn't your prostitution evil enough?
“Sacrificaste a tus hijos e hijas – los hijos que tuviste para mí – ofreciéndolos como alimento para que los comieran los ídolos. ¿No fue suficiente tu prostitución?
21 You slaughtered my children, sacrificing them to idols.
Sacrificaste a mis hijos, los sacrificaste a los ídolos.
22 While you were busy with all your disgusting practices and your prostitution, you forgot about the time when you were young, completely naked and lying there kicking in your own blood.
“Mientras estabas ocupada en todas tus prácticas repugnantes y en tu prostitución, te olvidaste del tiempo en que eras joven, completamente desnuda y yacías pateando en tu propia sangre.
23 Disaster is coming! Disaster is coming on you, declares the Lord God. As well as all the other evil things you did,
“¡Viene el desastre! El desastre viene sobre ti, declara el Señor Dios. Además de todas las cosas malas que hiciste,
24 you built yourself a pagan shrine, a high place of idol worship on every public square in the city.
te construiste un santuario pagano, un altar de cultoa losídolos en todas las plazas de la ciudad.
25 You made yourselves high places of idol worship at the top of every street; you degraded yourself, offering your beautiful body to anyone who passed by, opening your legs for them, becoming more and more promiscuous.
Te convertiste en lugares altos de adoración de ídolos en lo alto de cada calle; te degradaste, ofreciendo tu hermoso cuerpo a cualquiera que pasara, abriendo tus piernas para ellos, volviéndote cada vez más promiscua.
26 You gave yourself as a prostitute to your Egyptian neighbors with their large sexual organs, making me angry as you became even more promiscuous.
Te ofreciste como prostituta a tus vecinos egipcios con sus grandes órganos sexuales, haciéndome enojar porque te volviste aún más promiscua.
27 So I acted to reduce my blessings to you. I let your enemies the Philistines do what they wanted to you. Even they were embarrassed at your immorality.
“Así que actué para reducir mis bendiciones parati. Dejé que tus enemigos los filisteos hicieran lo que quisieran contigo. Incluso ellos se avergonzaron de tu inmoralidad.
28 Because you weren't satisfied you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians. But even then you weren't satisfied.
Como no estabas satisfecha, te prostituiste con los asirios. Pero ni siquiera entonces quedaste satisfecha.
29 So you took your promiscuous behavior to Babylonia, the country of merchants, but even then you weren't satisfied!
Entonces llevaste tu conducta promiscua a Babilonia, el país de los mercaderes, ¡pero ni siquiera entonces quedaste satisfecha!
30 You're really sick-minded to do all this, acting like a prostitute with no shame, declares the Lord God.
“Realmente eres una mente enferma al hacer todo esto, actuando como una prostituta sin vergüenza, declara el Señor Dios.
31 Actually you weren't even a normal prostitute when you built yourselves pagan shrines at the top of every street and high places of idol worship on every public square—because you refused to be paid for your services!
En realidad, ni siquiera eras una prostituta normal cuando te construiste santuarios paganos en lo alto de cada calle y altos lugares de culto a los ídolos en cada plaza pública, ¡porque te negaste a que te pagaran por tus servicios!
32 You're a wife that loves adultery! You sleep with strangers instead of your husband!
“¡Eres una esposa que ama el adulterio! ¡Te acuestas con extraños y no con tu propio marido!
33 Normally all prostitutes are paid, but you were the one giving gifts to all your lovers. You even bribed them to come from all around and have sex with you.
Normalmente todas las prostitutas reciben pago, pero tú eras la que les daba regalos a todos tus amantes. Incluso los sobornaste para que vinieran de todas partes y tuvieran relaciones sexuales contigo.
34 So you're the opposite of other prostitutes. No one comes to you asking for sex, and you pay the prostitute's fee instead of receiving it. You're the exact opposite!
Así que eres lo contrario de las demás prostitutas. Nadie viene a ti pidiendo sexo, y tú pagas la cuota de la prostituta en lugar de recibirla. Eres todo lo contrario.
35 So, you prostitute, listen to the message from the Lord!
“Así que, prostituta, ¡escucha el mensaje del Señor!
36 This is what the Lord God says: Because you were so crazy with desire you stripped yourself naked and committed adultery with your lovers and with all your disgusting idols, and because you killed your children as sacrifices to those idols,
Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Como estabas tan loca de deseo que te desnudaste y cometiste adulterio con tus amantes y con todos tus asquerosos ídolos, y como mataste a tus hijos como sacrificios a esos ídolos,
37 I'm going to bring together all the lovers you went to bed with, whether you loved them or hated them, and I will have them gather from everywhere around and I will strip you as they watch so they will see you totally naked.
voy a reunir a todos los amantes con los que te acostaste, tanto si los amabas como si los odiabas, y haré que se reúnan de todas partes y te desnudaré mientras miran para que te vean totalmente desnuda.
38 I will impose on you the punishment for women who commit adultery and those who murder; you will be punished in passionate anger.
Te impondré el castigo de las mujeres que cometen adulterio y de las que asesinan; serás castigada con ira apasionada.
39 Then I will hand you over to your lovers, and they will demolish your pagan shrines and destroy your high places of idol worship. They will strip you of your clothes, remove your beautiful jewelry, and leave you stark naked.
“Luego te entregaré a tus amantes, y ellos demolerán tus santuarios paganos y destruirán tus lugares altos de adoración de ídolos. “Te despojarán de tus ropas, te quitarán tus hermosas joyas y te dejarán completamente desnuda.
40 They will come with a mob to attack you. They will stone you and chop you into pieces with their swords.
Vendrán con una turba a atacarte. Te apedrearán y te cortarán en pedazos con sus espadas.
41 They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women watch. I will stop your prostitution, and you won't ever pay your lovers again.
Quemarán sus casas y los castigarán mientras muchas mujeres lo observan. “Detendré tu prostitución, y no volverás a pagar a tus amantes.
42 Then I will finish being jealous and furious with you. I will calm down and won't be angry any more.
Entonces dejaré de estar celoso y furioso contigo. Me calmaré y no me enfadaré más.
43 Since you didn't remember how I looked after you when you were young, but made me angry with all the things that you did, I will make sure you experience the results of what you've done, declares the Lord God. For this immorality was in addition to all the other disgusting things you did, wasn't it?
“Como no te acordaste de cómo te cuidé cuando eras joven, sino que me hiciste enojar con todas las cosas que hiciste, me aseguraré de que sufras las consecuencias de lo que has hecho, declara el Señor Dios. Porque esta inmoralidad se sumó a todas las demás cosas repugnantes que hiciste, ¿no lo crees?
44 Everyone who likes to use proverbs will quote this one about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
“Todos los que gustan de usar proverbios citarán éste sobre ti: “‘De tal palo, tal astilla’.
45 You are the daughter of your mother who detested her husband and children. You are just like her! You are the sister of your sisters, just like them who detested their husbands and children. In fact your mother was a Hittite and your father was an Amorite.
“Tú eres la hija de tu madre, que detestaba a su marido y a sus hijos. Eres igual que ella. Eres la hermana de tus hermanas, igual que ellas, que detestaban a sus maridos e hijos. De hecho, tu madre era hitita y tu padre era amorreo.
46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived north of you with her daughters. Your younger sister was Sodom, who lived south of you with her daughters.
Tu hermana mayor era Samaria, que vivía al norte de ti con sus hijas. Tu hermana menor era Sodoma, que vivía al sur de ti con sus hijas.
47 You didn't just follow their ways and do the same disgusting things they did, you very quickly became even worse than them.
Tú no te limitaste a seguir sus caminos y a hacer las mismas cosas repugnantes que ellas, sino que muy pronto te volviste aún peor que ellas.
48 As I live, declares the Lord God, your sister Sodom and her daughters didn't ever do what you and your daughters have done.
“Vivo yo, declara el Señor Dios, que tu hermana Sodoma y sus hijas nunca hicieron lo que tú y tus hijas han hecho.
49 The sins of your sister Sodom were these: She and her daughters were proud, greedy, and lazy. They didn't help the poor and those in need.
Los pecados de tu hermana Sodoma fueron estos: Ella y sus hijas eran orgullosas, codiciosas y perezosas. No ayudaron a los pobres ni a los necesitados.
50 They became arrogant and did disgusting things in my presence. So I got rid of them when I saw this.
Se volvieron arrogantes e hicieron cosas repugnantes en mi presencia. Así que me deshice de ellas cuando vi esto.
51 Samaria didn't sin half as badly as you did. You have done far more disgusting things than they did. In fact, all the revolting things you've done make your sisters look good!
“Samaria no pecó ni la mitad de lo que ustedes hicieron. Tú has hecho cosas mucho más repugnantes que ellos. De hecho, ¡todas las cosas repugnantes que has hecho hacen que tus hermanas se vean bien!
52 Now you're going to have to put up with your shame, since by your disgraceful sins you made them seem far better. Compared to you they look good! Now you too have to put up with your shame and disgrace because you've made your sisters look as if they were good.
Ahora vas a tener que soportar tu vergüenza, ya que con tus vergonzosos pecados las hiciste parecer mucho mejores. En comparación con ustedes, ellas se ven bien. Ahora tú también tendrás que soportar tu vergüenza y tu deshonra, ya que con tus pecados vergonzosos hiciste que tus hermanas parecieran buenas.
53 Even so I'm going to bring Sodom and her daughters back from exile, and Samaria and her daughters too. I will bring you back together with them.
“Aun así, voy a hacer que Sodoma y sus hijas vuelvan del destierro, y Samaria y sus hijas también. Te volveré a juntar con ellas.
54 In this way you will have to put up with your disgrace and be ashamed of all the bad things you did that made them feel better about themselves.
Así tendrás que soportar tu desgracia y avergonzarte de todas las cosas malas que hiciste para que ellas se sintieran mejor.
55 Your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will be restored to what they were before. You and your daughters will also be restored to what you were before.
“Tus hermanas, Sodoma con sus hijas y Samaria con sus hijas, volverán a ser lo que eran antes. Tú y tus hijas también serán devueltas a lo que eran antes.
56 Didn't you mock your sister Sodom when you were feeling proud,
¿No os burlabais de vuestra hermana Sodoma cuando os sentíais orgullosas,
57 before you were shown to be so wicked yourselves? Of course now you are mocked by the Edomites and the surrounding nations, as well as by the Philistines. Everyone around you looks down on you.
antes de que se demostrara que vosotras mismas erais tan malvadas? Por supuesto que ahora se burlan de ustedes los edomitas y las naciones circundantes, así como por los filisteos. Todos los que te rodean te miran con desprecio.
58 You will have to experience the consequences of your immorality and your disgusting practices, declares the Lord.
Tendrás que experimentar las consecuencias de tu inmoralidad y tus prácticas repugnantes, declara el Señor.
59 This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to punish you according to your sins, because you treated the promise you made with contempt by breaking the agreement.
“Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Voy a castigarte según tus pecados, porque trataste con desprecio la promesa que hiciste al romper el acuerdo.
60 But I won't forget the agreement I made with you when you were young, and I will make an everlasting agreement with you.
Pero no olvidaré el acuerdo que hice contigo cuando eras joven, y haré un acuerdo eterno contigo.
61 Then you will remember the way you are meant to live and be ashamed when you meet your older and younger sisters when they return to you. I will give them to you as daughters, even though this was not part of our original agreement.
Entonces recordarás la forma en que debes vivir y te avergonzarás cuando conozcas a tus hermanas mayores y menores cuando regresen a ti. Te las daré como hijas, aunque esto no era parte de nuestro acuerdo original.
62 This is how I will endorse my agreement with you, and you will know that I am the Lord,
“Así es como refrendaré mi acuerdo contigo, y sabrás que yo soy el Señor,
63 so that you will remember and be ashamed, and won't ever defend your disgraceful behavior when I forgive you for everything you've done, declares the Lord God.”
para que te acuerdes y te avergüences, y no vuelvas a defender tu comportamiento vergonzoso cuando te perdone por todo lo que has hecho, declara el Señor Dios”.
