Ezekiel 16
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
2 “You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
“Hijo de hombre, echa en cara a Jerusalén sus abominaciones.
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
Dirás: Así habla Yahvé, el Señor, a Jerusalén: Según tu origen y tu nacimiento procediste de la tierra del cananeo; tu padre era un amorreo y tu madre una hetea.
4 [It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].
Al nacer, el día que saliste a luz, no te fue cortado el ombligo, ni fuiste lavada con agua para limpiarte; no fuiste frotada con sal, ni envuelta en pañales.
5 No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.
Ningún ojo se apiadó de ti ni tuvo compasión para prestarte uno de estos servicios, sino que fuiste arrojada sobre el campo, con desprecio de tu vida, el día en que naciste.
6 Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”
Mas pasando Yo cerca de ti, te vi cómo pataleabas en tu sangre, y te dije cuando estabas en tu sangre: «¡Vive!» Sí, cuando estabas en tu sangre, te dije: «¡Vive!»
7 [It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].
Te hice crecer como la hierba del campo; y creciste y te hiciste grande, y llegaste a ser muy hermosa; se formaron tus pechos y te creció el pelo; pero estabas desnuda y sin abrigo.
8 When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
Y pasé junto a ti y te vi; era tu tiempo, el tiempo del amor; y extendí sobre ti las faldas de mi (manto) y cubrí tu desnudez, y te hice un juramento y entré en alianza contigo, dice Yahvé, el Señor; y así viniste a ser mía.
9 [And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
Te lavé con agua, te limpié de la sangre que tenías encima y te ungí con óleo.
10 [It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.
Te vestí de ropa recamada, te calcé de piel de tejón, te ceñí de lino fino y te cubrí de seda.
11 [It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.
Te engalané con joyas, puse brazaletes en tus brazos y un collar en tu cuello.
12 I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
Coloqué también un anillo en tu nariz, zarcillos en tus orejas y una magnífica diadema en tu cabeza.
13 So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.
Y quedaste ataviada con oro y plata; tu vestido era de lino fino y de seda recamada; te nutriste con flor de harina, con miel y aceite; y viniste a ser extraordinariamente hermosa y llegaste a ser reina.
14 You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.
Se hizo famoso tu nombre entre las naciones, gracias a tu hermosura, la cual era perfecta por los adornos que Yo había puesto en ti, dice Yahvé, el Señor.
15 But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.
Pero confiaste en tu belleza y prostituiste tu nombre y ofreciste tus fornicaciones a todos los transeúntes, entregándote a ellos.
16 [It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!
Tomando tus vestidos te hiciste toda clase de lugares altos y te prostituiste en ellos; cosa que nunca se había hecho ni se verá en adelante.
17 You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.
Echaste mano de tus hermosas joyas hechas de mi oro y mi plata, las que Yo te había regalado; y te hiciste simulacros humanos y fornicaste con ellos.
18 You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].
Tomaste tus vestidos recamados, y con ellos los cubriste y les ofreciste mi aceite y mi incienso.
19 And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.
Mi pan también que Yo te había dado y con que te alimentaba, la flor de harina, el aceite y la miel, los pusiste delante de ellos como (ofrenda) de suave olor. Tal cosa sucedió, dice Yahvé, el Señor.
20 And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.
Asimismo tomaste tus hijos y tus hijas, que habías dado a luz para Mí, y se los sacrificaste para que les sirviesen de pasto. Y como si fuese cosa insignificante tu fornicación,
21 You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
degollaste a mis hijos, y los entregaste haciéndolos pasar (por el fuego) en honor de ellos.
22 All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.
En todas tus abominaciones y fornicaciones no te acordaste de los días de tu juventud, cuando estabas desnuda y sin abrigo y pataleabas en tu sangre.
23 So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
Y después de tanta malicia tuya — ¡ay, ay de ti! dice Yahvé, el Señor—
24 you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
te edificaste una altura y te hiciste altares en todas las plazas.
25 At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.
En cada encrucijada de camino te construiste una altura y desfiguraste tu hermosura, entregándote a cualquier transeúnte y multiplicando tus fornicaciones.
26 [It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.
Fornicaste con los hijos de Egipto, tus gordos vecinos, y multiplicaste tus fornicaciones, para irritarme.
27 So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.
Y he aquí que Yo extendí mi mano contra ti, disminuí tu porción y te entregué al capricho de tus enemigas, las hijas de los filisteos, que se avergonzaban de tu mala conducta.
28 [It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.
No saciada aún te prostituiste a los hijos de Asiria; fornicaste con ellos; mas tampoco así quedaste satisfecha.
29 So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
Cometiste muchas fornicaciones en la tierra de Canaán, hasta la Caldea; y tampoco con esto te saciaste.
30 I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].
¡Cuán débil es tu corazón! dice Yahvé, el Señor. ¡Haces todas estas fechorías como la ramera más desvergonzada!
31 When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.
¡Te edificaste santuarios en todas las encrucijadas y te construiste altares en todas las plazas aunque no eres como las (otras) rameras por cuanto desdeñas la paga (de la prostitución)!
32 You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
Tú eres la adúltera, que en vez de su marido se acoge a extraños.
33 Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.
A todas las rameras se les da paga, pero tú pagabas a todos tus amantes, y les hacías regalos, para que de todas partes viniesen a fornicar contigo.
34 So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.
Y ha sucedido contigo, en tus fornicaciones, lo contrario de lo que sucede con (otras) mujeres, pues ninguno te buscaba y tú dabas paga en lugar de recibirla. Así has sido lo contrario (de otras).
35 Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
Por eso, oh ramera, escucha la palabra de Yahvé.
36 I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.
Así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Por cuanto ha sido malgastado tu dinero y se ha descubierto tu desnudez en tus fornicaciones con tus amantes y con todos tus ídolos abominables, y a causa de la sangre de tus hijos que tú les ofreciste,
37 So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.
por eso, he aquí que congregaré a todos tus amantes con quienes te deleitaste; a todos los que has amado y a todos los que has aborrecido, los reuniré alrededor de ti, y les descubriré tu desnudez, para que vean toda tu vergüenza.
38 I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.
Y te juzgaré como son juzgadas las adúlteras, y las que derraman sangre; y te haré víctima de furor y de celos.
39 I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].
Te entregaré en sus manos, y destruirán tus santuarios, derribarán tus altares, te despojarán de tus vestidos, robarán tus magníficos adornos y te dejarán completamente desnuda.
40 They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
Reunirán contra ti una multitud, te apedrearán y te atravesarán con sus espadas.
41 They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.
Pegarán fuego a tus casas y ejecutarán en ti juicios, a la vista de muchas mujeres; y así cesarás de ser fornicaria, y no darás más regalos.
42 Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
Así desahogaré en ti mi ira y no tendré más celos de ti; me calmaré y ya no me irritaré.
43 You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.
Por no haberte tú acordado de los días de tu juventud y por haberme irritado con todo esto, por eso he aquí que Yo por mi parte he echado tus obras sobre tu cabeza, dice Yahvé, el Señor; y no cometerás más estos crímenes ni todas estas tus abominaciones.
44 People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
He aquí que todos los que saben aquel proverbio lo aplicarán a ti, diciendo: «Cual la madre, tal su hija».
45 You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
Hija eres de tu madre, que aborreció a su marido y a sus hijos; y hermana eres de tus hermanas, que aborrecieron a sus maridos y a sus hijos. Vuestra madre es una hetea y vuestro padre un amorreo.
46 And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.
Tu hermana mayor es Samaria, ella con sus hijas, que habita a tu izquierda; y tu hermana menor, que habita a tu derecha, es Sodoma con sus hijas.
47 You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
No solamente has seguido los caminos de ellas obrando conforme a sus abominaciones —demasiado poco era esto para ti— sino que has sido más perversa que ellas en todo tu proceder.
48 I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.
Por mi vida, dice Yahvé, el Señor, que no hizo tu hermana Sodoma, ella y sus hijas, lo que tú y tus hijas habéis hecho.
49 These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.
He aquí cuál fue el crimen de tu hermana Sodoma: la soberbia, la hartura de pan, el reposo ocioso que gozaron ella y sus hijas, y el no socorrer al pobre y al menesteroso.
50 The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.
Y así se ensoberbecieron, y cometieron lo que era abominable delante de Mí; por eso las quité de en medio conforme a lo que he visto.
51 Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.
Samaria no cometió ni la mitad de tus pecados; al contrario, tú has cometido más abominaciones que tus hermanas, y las has justificado por medio de todas las abominaciones por ti cometidas.
52 Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].
Lleva tu ignominia, tú que has juzgado a tus hermanas, ya que por tus pecados te has mostrado más abominable que ellas, con lo cual son más justas que tú. Avergüénzate por tu parte, y lleva tu oprobio, por cuanto has justificado a tus hermanas.
53 However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.
Mas Yo mudaré el cautiverio de ellas, el cautiverio de Sodoma y de sus hijas, el cautiverio de Samaria y de sus hijas, y también el cautiverio de tus cautivos juntamente con ellas,
54 You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.
a fin de que lleves tu oprobio y te avergüences de todo lo que has hecho y les seas a ellas motivo de consuelo.
55 [The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
Tu hermana Sodoma y sus hijas volverán a su antiguo estado; Samaria y sus hijas volverán a su antiguo estado. Así también tú y tus hijas volveréis a vuestro primer estado.
56 You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
Tú no mencionabas ni siquiera el nombre de tu hermana Sodoma, en los días de tu soberbia,
57 before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.
antes que se descubriese tu malicia, como sucede ahora que llevas la afrenta de las hijas de la Siria y de todos sus alrededores, y de las hijas de los filisteos que te insultan por todos lados.
58 And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
Ahora tienes que llevar tu maldad y tus abominaciones, dice Yahvé, el Señor.
59 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.
Porque así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Te trataré según tus obras, pues despreciaste el juramento y quebrantaste la alianza.
60 But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.
Pero me acordaré de la alianza que hice contigo en los días de tu mocedad, y estableceré contigo una alianza eterna.
61 Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.
Entonces te acordarás de tus caminos, y te avergonzarás cuando recibas a tus hermanas, tanto tus hermanas mayores como tus menores, que Yo te daré por hijas, pero no en virtud de tu alianza.
62 I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Y estableceré contigo mi alianza, y conocerás que Yo soy Yahvé;
63 Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
para que te acuerdes y te avergüences, y avergonzada no vuelvas más a abrir tu boca, cuando Yo te haya perdonado todo lo que has hecho”, dice Yahvé, el Señor.
