Ezekiel 33
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Me fue dirigida la palabra de Yahvé en estos términos:
2 “Son of man, speak to the sons of your people, and you have said to them: When I bring a sword on a land, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him their watchman,
“Hijo de hombre, habla a los hijos de tu pueblo, y diles: Cuando Yo enviare la espada sobre un país, y la gente del país toma un hombre de su territorio, y le pone por atalaya suyo;
3 And he has seen the sword coming against the land, And has blown with a horn, and has warned the people,
y este, viendo venir la espada sobre el país, toca la trompeta y avisa al pueblo;
4 And the hearer has heard the voice of the horn, and he has not taken warning, And the sword comes in, and takes him away, His blood is on his [own] head.
si entonces el que oye la voz de la trompeta, no se deja apercibir, y llega la espada y le arrebata, la sangre de este recaerá sobre su propia cabeza.
5 The voice of the horn he heard, And he has not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning has delivered his soul.
Pues oyó la voz de la trompeta, mas no se dejó prevenir, por eso recae su sangre sobre él. Si hubiese tomado nota del aviso habría salvado su vida,
6 And the watchman, when he sees the sword coming in, And he has not blown with a horn, And the people have not been warned, And a sword comes in, And takes away a soul from them, He is taken away in his iniquity, And I require his blood from the hand of the watchman.
Pero si el atalaya, viendo venir la espada, no toca la trompeta y el pueblo no es avisado, y llegando la espada arrebata a alguno de ellos, este, por su iniquidad, perderá la vida, pero Yo demandaré su sangre de manos del atalaya.
7 And you, son of man, I gave you [as] a watchman for the house of Israel, And you have heard a word from My mouth, And you have warned them from Me.
Ahora bien, hijo de hombre, Yo te he puesto por atalaya de la casa de Israel; tú oirás de mi boca la palabra y los apercibirás de mi parte.
8 In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one—you surely die, And you have not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He—the wicked—dies in his iniquity, And I require his blood from your hand.
Si Yo digo al impío: Impío, tú morirás sin remedio; y tú no hablas para apartar al impío de su camino, este impío por su iniquidad morirá, pero Yo demandaré su sangre de tu mano.
9 And you, when you have warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he has not turned back from his way, He dies in his iniquity, And you have delivered your soul.
Pero si tú apercibiste al impío para que se convierta de su camino, y si (el impío) no se convierte de su camino, por su iniquidad morirá; mas tú has salvado tu alma.
10 And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel: You have spoken correctly, saying, Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And we are wasting away in them, How, then, do we live?
Di oh hijo de hombre, a la casa de Israel: Vosotros seguís diciendo: “Ya que nuestras faltas y nuestros pecados pesan sobre nosotros, y por ellos nos estamos consumiendo, ¿cómo podremos vivir?”
11 Say to them, [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, I do not delight in the death of the wicked, But in the turning of the wicked from his way, and he has lived. Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways! Indeed, why do you die, O house of Israel?
Diles: Por mi vida, dice Yahvé, el Señor, que no quiero la muerte del impío, sino que el impío se convierta de su camino y viva. Convertíos, convertíos de vuestros perversos caminos. ¿Por qué queréis morir, oh casa de Israel?
12 And you, son of man, say to the sons of your people: The righteousness of the righteous does not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He does not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning.
Tú, hijo de hombre, di a los hijos de tu pueblo: La justicia del justo no le salvará en el día de su transgresión; y la iniquidad no dañará al impío cuando se convierta, como tampoco el justo podrá vivir por su (justicia) cuando pecare.
13 In My saying of the righteous: He surely lives, And—he has trusted on his righteousness, And he has done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he has done, He dies for it.
Si Yo digo al justo: Ciertamente vivirás, y si él, confiando en su justicia, comete maldad, ninguna de sus obras justas será recordada, sino que por la maldad que cometió morirá.
14 And in My saying to the wicked: You surely die, And—he has turned back from his sin, And has done judgment and righteousness,
Asimismo, si Yo digo al impío: Ciertamente morirás; y si este impío, convirtiéndose de su pecado, practicare la equidad y la justicia,
15 (The wicked restores a pledge, he repays [for] plunder), He has walked in the statutes of life, So as not to do perversity, He surely lives—he does not die.
devolviere la prenda, restituyere lo robado, y siguiere los mandamientos de vida, sin cometer maldad, de seguro vivirá; no morirá.
16 All his sin—his sins that he has sinned—are not remembered against him, He has done judgment and righteousness, He surely lives.
Ninguno de sus pecados que haya cometido será recordado contra él; ha obrado con equidad y justicia; de cierto vivirá.
17 And the sons of your people have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, As for them—their way is not pondered.
Y sin embargo, dicen los hijos de tu pueblo: «El camino del Señor no es recto», cuando, al contrario, los caminos de ellos no son rectos.
18 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he has done perversity—he dies for it.
Si el justo se aparta de su justicia y comete maldades, morirá por ellas,
19 And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he has done judgment and righteousness—he lives by them.
y si el impío se aparta del mal y practica la equidad y la justicia, por esto vivirá.
20 And you have said, The way of the Lord is not pondered; I judge each of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.”
¡Y vosotros decís: «No es recto el camino del Señor»! Yo os juzgaré, oh casa de Israel, a cada uno, conforme a su camino.
21 And it comes to pass, in the twelfth year—in the tenth [month], in the fifth of the month—of our removal, one who is escaped from Jerusalem comes to me, saying, “The city has been struck.”
El año doce de nuestro cautiverio, el día cinco del décimo mes, vino a mí un escapado de Jerusalén, que dijo: “Cayó la ciudad”.
22 And the hand of YHWH has been to me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He opens my mouth until [his] coming to me in the morning, and my mouth is opened, and I have not been silent again.
La tarde antes de llegar el fugitivo, había venido sobre mí la mano de Yahvé, para abrirme la boca, y (estuvo sobre mí) hasta que ese vino a mí por la mañana; y se abrió mi boca, y ya no estuve mudo.
23 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Y me llegó la palabra de Yahvé que dijo:
24 “Son of man, the inhabitants of these ruins on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying, Abraham has been alone—and he possesses the land, and we [are] many—the land has been given to us for a possession.
“Hijo de hombre, los que habitan entre aquellas ruinas en la tierra de Israel andan diciendo: «Si Abrahán que era uno solo, recibió en herencia el país ¿cuánto más quedará este en posesión nuestra, puesto que somos muchos?»
25 Therefore say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: You eat with the blood, And you lift up your eyes to your idols, And you shed blood, Should you then inherit the land?
Por tanto les dirás: Así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Vosotros, los que coméis (la carne) con la sangre y alzáis los ojos hacia vuestros ídolos y derramáis sangre, ¿acaso vosotros habéis de poseer el país?
26 You have stood on your sword, You have done abomination, You have each defiled the wife of his neighbor, Should you then possess the land?
Confiáis en vuestras espadas, cometéis abominación, y cada cual contamina a la mujer de su prójimo, ¿y pensáis ser herederos del país?
27 Thus you say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: [As] I live—do they who [are] in the ruins not fall by the sword? And they who [are] on the face of the field, I have given for food to the beast, And they who are in strongholds and in caves die by pestilence.
Así les hablarás: Esto dice Yahvé, el Señor: Por mi vida, que los que están entre las ruinas caerán a espada, y los que se hallan en el campo los daré como pasto a las fieras, y los que están en lugares fuertes y en cavernas morirán de peste.
28 And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And the excellence of its strength has ceased, And mountains of Israel have been desolated, Without anyone passing through.
Haré del país un desierto y una soledad; se acabará la soberbia de su poder; y las montañas de Israel quedarán asoladas, porque no habrá quien pase por ellas.
29 And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done.
Y conocerán que Yo soy Yahvé, al convertir Yo el país en desierto y desolación, a causa de todas las abominaciones que han cometido.
30 And you, son of man, The sons of your people who are speaking about you, By the walls, and in openings of the houses, Have spoken with one another, each with his brother, Saying, Please come in, And hear what the word [is] that comes out from YHWH.
En cuanto a ti, hijo de hombre, los hijos de tu pueblo chismean de ti, junto a las paredes y a las entradas de las casas. Hablan entre sí cada uno con su compañero, diciendo: «¡Ea, vamos a oír cuál es la palabra que ha salido de Yahvé!»
31 And they come in to you as the coming in of a people, And they sit before you—My people, And have heard your words, and they do not do them, For they are making unhealthy loves with their mouth, Their heart is going after their dishonest gain.
Y vienen a ti como a reuniones del pueblo, y se sienta delante de ti mi pueblo para oír tus palabras, pero no las ponen en práctica, porque con su boca te alaban, mientras su corazón va tras su avaricia.
32 And behold, you [are] as a singer of unhealthy loves to them, A beautiful voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard your words, and they are not doing them.
Pues he aquí que eres para ellos como un cantor de amores que tiene hermosa voz y toca bien; porque escuchan tus palabras, mas no las cumplen.
33 And in its coming in—behold, it has come, And they have known that a prophet has been in their midst!”
Pero cuando ello viniere —he aquí que viene ya— conocerán que hubo un profeta en medio de ellos.”
