< Ezekiel 23 >

1 Yahweh said to me,
Me llegó la palabra de Yahvé que dijo:
2 “You human, [listen to this parable about Jerusalem and Samaria]. Once there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
“Hijo de hombre, había dos mujeres, hijas de una misma madre.
3 They lived in Egypt. And from the time that they were young women, they became prostitutes. In that land, [men] fondled their breasts and caressed their bosoms [DOU].
Fornicaron en Egipto, se prostituyeron en su juventud. Allí fueron apretados sus pechos, y allí fue estrujado su seno virginal.
4 The older [sister] was Oholah, and her [younger] sister was Oholibah. [It was as though] they became my [wives. Later] they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
Se llamaba la mayor Oholá, y su hermana Oholibá. Vinieron a ser mías y dieron a luz hijos e hijas. Sus nombres (significan): Oholá: Samaria, y Oholibá: Jerusalén.
5 Oholah acted like a prostitute while she was [still] my wife. She desired to have sex with those she loved—soldiers from Assyria.
Oholá me fue infiel y se enloqueció por sus amantes, los asirios, vecinos suyos,
6 [Some of them] were army officers and commanders. They wore [beautiful] blue [uniforms. They were] all handsome young men. Some of them rode horses.
que iban vestidos de púrpura: gobernadores y magistrados, jóvenes muy amables todos ellos, caballeros que montaban caballos.
7 She acted like a prostitute toward all the important Assyrian officials, and became unacceptable to me by worshiping all the idols of the men she wanted to have sex with.
Y fornicó con ellos, con todos estos hijos escogidos de Asiria, y se contaminó con los ídolos de todos aquellos que amaba.
8 When she was a young woman in Egypt, she started being a prostitute, and [young] men caressed her breasts and had sex with her; and when she became older, she did not quit acting like a prostitute.
Y no abandonó sus fornicaciones con Egipto; porque (allí) se habían acostado con ella en su juventud, deshonrando su seno virginal y derramando sobre ella su fornicación.
9 So I allowed the Assyrian soldiers, whom she wanted to have sex with, to capture her.
Por eso la entregué en poder de sus amantes, en poder de los hijos de Asiria, de quienes estaba enamorada.
10 They stripped all her clothes off her. They took away her sons and daughters. And then they killed her with a sword. [Other] women started talking about what had happened to her, about how she had been punished.
Estos descubrieron su desnudez, le quitaron sus hijos y sus hijas y la mataron a espada. Así vino a ser famosa entre las mujeres por el juicio ejecutado en ella.
11 [younger] sister Oholibah saw those [that happened to Oholah], but she was a prostitute, and she desired to have sex with men more than [older] sister had desired.
Aunque vio esto su hermana Oholibá, superó a la primera en su corrupción, y sus fornicaciones fueron peores que las fornicaciones de su hermana.
12 Oholibah [also] wanted to have sex with the Assyrian soldiers. [Some of them were] army officers and commanders. [They all] wore beautiful blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men. [Some of] them rode horses.
Se enamoró locamente de los hijos de Asiria, gobernadores y magistrados, sus vecinos vestidos lujosamente, caballeros que montaban caballos, jóvenes muy amables todos ellos.
13 I saw what she did that caused her to became unacceptable to me, just like [older] sister.
Y vi cómo también ella se contaminaba y cómo ambas seguían el mismo camino.
14 But she did [even] worse things. She saw drawings of men from Babylonia on the walls, painted in red.
Pero intensificó todavía sus fornicaciones. Cuando vio hombres dibujados en la pared, figuras de caldeos, pintados en color rojo,
15 The [in the drawings] had belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. They all resembled officers from Babylonia [DOU] [who rode in chariots].
ceñidos sus lomos de cinturones, con amplios turbantes en sus cabezas, que todos parecían grandes señores —y no eran más que representaciones de los hijos de Babilonia, y la tierra de su nacimiento era Caldea—
16 As soon as she saw those drawings, she wanted to have sex with those men, and she sent messages to them in Babylonia.
se enamoró de ellos, apenas los vieron sus ojos y les envió mensajeros a Caldea.
17 Then the soldiers from Babylonia came to her, they lay in bed with her, and they had sex with her. Then she became disgusted with them and turned away from them.
Se llegaron a ella los babilonios, a su lecho de amores, y la contaminaron con su fornicación. Pero cuando se había contaminado con ellos, su alma tuvo asco de ellos.
18 But when she continued to openly/boldly act like a prostitute [DOU], I became disgusted with her, and I rejected her like I had rejected [older] sister.
Cuando ella (así) manifestó sus fornicaciones y descubrió su desnudez, Yo tuve asco de ella, como me había asqueado de su hermana.
19 But she became even more immoral, as she remembered when she was a young woman who was a prostitute in Egypt.
Pero ella multiplicó sus fornicaciones, recordando los días de su mocedad, cuando se prostituía en la tierra de Egipto.
20 There she wanted to have sex with those who loved her, whose genitals were [very long], like [SIM] those of donkeys, and whose sexual emissions were huge, [like] those of horses.
Se enamoró de sus concubinarios, cuya carne es como carne de asnos, y su flujo como flujo de caballos.
21 So she desired to be immoral like she was when she was young, when men in Egypt caressed her bosom and fondled her breasts.”
Y volviste a la lascivia de tu mocedad, cuando los egipcios deshonraron tu seno, a causa de tus pechos juveniles.
22 “[represents you people of Jerusalem]. Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I will cause those [soldiers] who loved you but whom you turned away from because you became disgusted with them, to be angry with you. I will cause them to come and attack you from every side—
Por tanto, oh Oholibá, así dice Yahvé, el Señor: He aquí que instigaré contra ti a tus amantes, de los cuales tiene asco tu alma y los haré venir sobre ti por todos lados,
23 soldiers from Babylon and all the other places in Babylonia, [their allies] from Pekod and Shoa and [regions], and all the army of Assyria. [Yes], all of them are handsome young men, army officers and commanders, officers who ride in chariots, all riding on horses.
los hijos de Babilonia y todos los caldeos, los de Pecod, Schoa y Coa, y con ellos todos los hijos de Asiria, mancebos muy amables, gobernadores y magistrados todos, príncipes y hombres famosos, todos a caballo.
24 Their huge army will attack you with weapons, riding in chariots and pulling wagons [that will carry their army supplies]. They will surround you, carrying large and small shields, and wearing helmets. I will allow them to capture you and punish you in the way that they [always] [their enemies].
Vendrán contra ti con armas, con carros y ruedas y con muchedumbre de pueblos. Por todas partes se dirigirán contra ti escudos, y paveses, y yelmos, y Yo les encargaré el juicio, y ellos te juzgarán según sus leyes.
25 Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act [very] furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.
Descargaré sobre ti mis celos y te tratarán con furor; te cortarán la nariz y las orejas, y lo que queda de ti caerá al filo de la espada. Se llevarán a tus hijos y a tus hijas, y tus restos serán consumidos por el fuego.
26 They will strip off your clothes and your fine jewelry and take them away.
Te despojarán de tus vestidos y te quitarán tus hermosos adornos.
27 In that way, I will stop all the immoral behavior that began when you became a prostitute in Egypt. You will no longer desire to do those things, or think [what you did in] Egypt.’
Y haré que cese tu lascivia y tu fornicación con la tierra de Egipto. No alzarás más tus ojos a ellos ni te acordarás más de Egipto.
28 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I am about to allow those whom you hate, those you became disgusted with and turned away from, to capture you.
Porque así dice Yahvé, el Señor: He aquí que te entregaré en poder de los que tú aborreces, en poder de quienes tiene asco tu alma.
29 They will be cruel and take away everything that you have worked hard to acquire. They will leave you completely naked [DOU], and everyone will see that you truly are a prostitute.
Te tratarán con odio te quitarán todo el fruto de tu trabajo y te dejarán desnuda y sin vestido. Se hará patente la infamia de tus prostituciones, de tu lascivia y de tus fornicaciones.
30 It is because of what you have done that you will be punished like that; you have been an immoral prostitute; you have had sex with men of other nations, and you have caused yourselves to become unacceptable to me [worshiping] their idols.
Así te tratarán porque has fornicado con las naciones y por haberte contaminado con sus ídolos.
31 You have behaved [the people of Samaria, who are like] your [older] sister. So I will cause you to be punished [MET] like they were punished.’
Por haber seguido el camino de tu hermana, por eso pondré su cáliz en tu mano.
32 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink]: [It will be as though] you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from; a big and tall cup. Because of your drinking what is in that cup, many people will scorn you and make fun of you because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.
Así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Beberás el cáliz de tu hermana, cáliz hondo y ancho; y serás objeto de burla y escarnio; (el cáliz) es de gran capacidad.
33 When you become very drunk, you will become very sad, [drinking what is in] that cup [MTY] will cause you to become ruined and deserted, like what happened [MET] to [the people of] Samaria, [who are like] [MET] your sister.
Te llenarás de embriaguez y dolor; pues, copa de horror y de espanto es la copa de tu hermana Samaria.
34 You will drink all the liquid that is in that cup; then you will break that cup into pieces [use those pieces to] gash/cut your [because you will be very sad].’ [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
La beberás y la apurarás; morderás hasta los fragmentos de ella y te despedazarás los pechos, pues Yo he hablado”, dice el Señor, Yahvé.
35 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘Because you have forgotten me and rejected me [IDM], you must be punished for your immoral behavior and for [like] a prostitute.’”
Por eso así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Por cuanto me has olvidado y me has echado detrás de tus espaldas, lleva también tú (el castigo de) tu lascivia y tus fornicaciones.
36 Yahweh said to me, “You human, you must [RHQ] [the people of those two cities represented by] Oholah and Oholibah. You must remind them of their detestable behavior:
Me dijo Yahvé: “Hijo de hombre. ¿No quieres juzgar a Oholá y a Oholibá? ¿No quieres manifestar sus abominaciones?
37 [It is as though the people of those cities] have committed adultery and have murdered [MTY] people. They have been unfaithful to me by [worshiping] idols. They have even sacrificed their own children, who belonged to me, to be food for their idols.
Pues han cometido adulterio, y hay sangre en sus manos. Adulteraron con sus ídolos, y a sus hijos que habían dado a luz para Mí los pasaron (por el fuego) para que les sirvieran de pasto.
38 They have done [disgraceful things]: They have caused my temple to be an unacceptable place for worship, and have not respected the Sabbath days.
Todavía más han hecho conmigo: Contaminaron mi Santuario en el día aquel y profanaron mis sábados.
39 On the same day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my temple, which caused it to be an unacceptable place for worshiping me.
Después de inmolar sus hijos a sus ídolos, venían el mismo día a mi santuario para profanarlo. ¡Esto han hecho en medio de mi Casa!
40 They sent messages to men [in countries] far away. And when those men arrived, [the women of those two cities] bathed themselves for them, painted their eyebrows, and put on jewelry.
Y más aún; ellas hicieron venir hombres de lejos, a los que llamaron por medio de embajadores. Vinieron y tú te lavaste para ellos, te pintaste los ojos y te adornaste de tus galas.
41 They sat on a beautiful couch, with a table in front of it on which they had put incense and [olive] oil that belonged to me.
Te sentaste sobre un estrado magnífico, delante del cual estaba una mesa aderezada, y sobre ella habías puesto mi incienso y mi óleo.
42 Soon there was a noisy crowd around them. Among the crowd there were men from Sheba who had come from the [of Arabia]. They put bracelets on the arms of the [two] sisters and put beautiful crowns on their heads.
Y se oyó la algazara de mucha gente que se alegraba. A los hombres del común del pueblo se habían asociado los bebedores del desierto, que pusieron brazaletes sobre las manos de las (dos) y hermosas coronas sobre sus cabezas.
43 Then I said about the woman who had become exhausted by her having sex with many men, ‘Now allow those men to act toward her as though she is a prostitute, because that is all that she is.’
Entonces dije respecto de aquella envejecida en adulterios: ¿Todavía continuará ella en sus prostituciones?
44 So they had sex [EUP] with those two women, Oholah and Oholibah, like men have sex with prostitutes.
Y se llegaron a ella; como se llega a una ramera. Así iban a Oholá y a Oholibá, mujeres lascivas.
45 But righteous men will condemn them to be punished, like women who commit adultery and who murder others are punished, because those women commit adultery and they murder [MTY] others.
Pero hombres justos las juzgaran como se juzga a las adúlteras, como son juzgadas las mujeres que derraman sangre; pues adúlteras son y hay sangre en sus manos.
46 So this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Bring a mob to attack Samaria and Jerusalem, and allow that mob to cause the people of those cities to be terrified, and to rob them.
Porque así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Convocaré contra ellas una multitud y las entregaré al maltrato y al saqueo.
47 The mob will throw stones at [to kill them]; they will cut them into pieces with their swords, they will kill their sons and daughters, and burn down their houses.
La multitud las apedreará y las hará pedazos con sus espadas; matarán a sus hijos y a sus hijas y a sus casas prenderán fuego.
48 In that way I will cause them to stop their immoral behavior. It will warn other women to not imitate/do what you people of Jerusalem are doing.
Asi acabaré con la lascivia en el país, y todas las mujeres escarmentarán, de modo que no imitarán vuestra lascivia.
49 [people of Jerusalem] will be punished for your immoral behavior and for your worshiping idols. Then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Se os castigará por vuestra infamia, y llevaréis los pecados de vuestra idolatría; y conoceréis que Yo soy Yahvé, el Señor.
