< Ezekiel 32 >
1 Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
El primer día del duodécimo mes del duodécimo año, me llegó un mensaje del Señor que decía:
2 “You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
“Hijo de hombre, canta un canto fúnebre para el faraón, rey de Egipto, y díselo: “Te crees un león entre las naciones, pero en realidad eres como un monstruo marino. Te revuelves en tus ríos, agitando las aguas con tus pies, enturbiando el agua.
3 But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
Esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: En presencia de muchas naciones voy a tender mi red sobre ti, y te arrastrarán en mi red.
4 They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
Te dejaré caer sobre la tierra; te arrojaré sobre la tierra desnuda. Haré que todas las aves de rapiña vengan a posarse sobre ti; haré que todos los animales salvajes te coman hasta quedar satisfechos.
5 I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
Arrojaré tu carne sobre las montañas y llenaré los valles con tus restos.
6 I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
Llenaré la tierra con tu sangre que fluye, derramándola sobre las montañas, llenando los valles.
7 When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
Cuando apague la luz de tu vida, cubriré los cielos y oscureceré sus estrellas. Usaré una nube para cubrir el sol, y la luna dejará de brillar.
8 I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
Oscureceré todas las luces brillantes de los cielos sobre ti, y haré que tu tierra se oscurezca, declara el Señor Dios.
9 And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
Cuando te destruya, haré que mucha gente se asuste, incluso en países de los que no sabes nada.
10 I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
Muchos se escandalizarán de lo que te haga, y sus reyes se horrorizarán de lo que te ha sucedido, temblando cuando agite mi espada frente a ellos. El día en que caigas, todos ellos temerán por sus vidas.
11 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
“Porque esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: ¡La espada del rey de Babilonia te atacará!
12 I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
Permitiré que tu ejército sea derrotado, que tus soldados sean muertos por las espadas del poderoso ejército enemigo de la más cruel de las naciones. Arruinarán las glorias de Egipto y destruirán a todo tu pueblo.
13 I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
Mataré a todo tu ganado que vive junto a los anchos ríos. Nadie estará allí para agitar los ríos con sus pies; las pezuñas del ganado no los enturbiarán.
14 Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
Dejaré que sus aguas se asienten y haré que sus ríos fluyan suavemente como el aceite, declara el Señor Dios.
15 When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
Cuando convierta a Egipto en un páramo, vaciándolo por completo, cuando mate a todos los que viven allí, entonces reconocerán que yo soy el Señor.
16 That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
Este es el canto fúnebre que cantarán las mujeres extranjeras. Lo cantarán en señal de duelo sobre Egipto y toda su numerosa población, declara el Señor Dios”.
17 On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
El decimoquinto día del duodécimo mes del duodécimo año, me llegó un mensaje del Señor que decía:
18 “You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
“Hijo de hombre, llora por todos los numerosos egipcios. Envíalos junto con la gente de las naciones poderosas a las profundidades de la tierra con los que bajan a la tumba.
19 Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
¿Te crees más bella que nadie? ¡Bajen y ocupen su lugar en la tumba con los paganos!
20 [Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
Yacerán entre los muertos por la espada. La espada está lista para matar a todo el numeroso pueblo de Egipto.
21 In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol )
Poderosos jefes hablarán desde el Seol sobre Egipto y sus aliados: ‘Han bajado aquí y yacen con los paganos, con los muertos por la espada’. (Sheol )
22 [The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
“Asiria está allí con toda su gente: está rodeada de tumbas. Todos ellos murieron de forma violenta, asesinados por la espada.
23 The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
Sus tumbas están colocadas en lo más profundo del lugar de los muertos, y las tumbas de todo su pueblo rodean la tumba de Asiria. Todos ellos murieron de forma violenta, asesinados por la espada, estos pueblos que antes aterrorizaban a otros cuando estaban vivos.
24 A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
“Elam está allí con toda su gente alrededor de su tumba. Todos ellos murieron de forma violenta, asesinados por la espada. Bajaron a la tumba, esta gente pagana que una vez aterrorizó a otros cuando estaban vivos. Son deshonrados, junto con todos los demás que descienden a la tumba.
25 They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
Se ha preparado un lugar de descanso entre los que han sido asesinados para Elam y toda su numerosa gente: sus tumbas rodean la tumba de Elam. Todos ellos son paganos y fueron asesinados por la espada, aunque alguna vez aterrorizaron a otros cuando estaban vivos. Están deshonrados, junto con todos los demás que descienden a la tumba. Son puestos a descansar entre los que han sido asesinados.
26 [Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
“Mesec y Tubal están allí con toda su gente, rodeados de todas sus tumbas. Todos ellos son paganos y fueron muertos por la espada, aunque alguna vez aterrorizaron a otros cuando estaban vivos.
27 They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol )
Pero no están enterrados con los guerreros caídos de antaño que bajaron al Seol con sus armas de guerra. Sus espadas fueron colocadas debajo de sus cabezas y sus escudos sobre sus huesos, aunque estos poderosos guerreros una vez aterrorizaron a otros cuando estaban vivos. (Sheol )
28 You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
Sin embargo, tú también serás cortado y puesto a descansar con los paganos, con los muertos por la espada.
29 People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
“Allí está Edom con todos sus reyes y príncipes. En otro tiempo fueron poderosos, pero ahora también ellos reposan con los muertos por la espada. Yacen con los paganos, con los que descienden a la tumba.
30 All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
También están allí todos los jefes del norte y todo el pueblo de Sidón. Ellos también son deshonrados, pues descienden con los que fueron asesinados, a pesar de su formidable poder. Son paganos, yacen allí con los muertos por la espada, y tienen la desgracia de los que descienden a la tumba.
31 The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
“El Faraón los verá y se alegrará de que él y toda su numerosa gente no sean los únicos muertos por la espada, declara el Señor Dios.
32 While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
Porque yo aterrorizaré a los que están vivos para que el Faraón y toda su numerosa gente descansen con los paganos, con los muertos por la espada, declara el Señor Dios”.
