Ezekiel 5
1 “Also, you human, [when you start doing those things, ] take a sharp sword and use it like [SIM] a razor to shave your head and your beard. Then put the hair that you shaved off on scales, and divide the [into three equal parts].
“Tú, hijo de hombre, toma una espada afilada. La tomarás como navaja de barbero para ti, y la harás pasar sobre tu cabeza y sobre tu barba. Luego toma una balanza para pesar y dividir el cabello.
2 When the time during [you will symbolize that] the city will be [by enemy troops] ends, put a third of the hair inside [drawing of the] city and burn it. Take another third of the hair, [scatter it] all [the drawing of] the city, and then strike it with your sword. That will symbolize that I will strike the people of Jerusalem [their enemies’] swords. Then allow the wind to scatter the other third of the hair. That will symbolize [even if they flee from the city], I will [cause their enemies to] pursue them and attack them with swords.
Una tercera parte la quemarás en el fuego en medio de la ciudad, cuando se cumplan los días del asedio. Una tercera parte la tomarás y la herirás con la espada alrededor. Una tercera parte la dispersarás al viento, y yo sacaré la espada tras ellos.
3 Take a few of your hairs and tuck them into the folds of your robe.
Tomarás un pequeño número de ellos y los atarás en los pliegues de tu túnica.
4 Then take a few of those hairs, throw them into the fire, and burn them up. [That will symbolize that] a fire will spread from Jerusalem [and destroy things] throughout Israel.
De ellos volverás a tomar, los echarás en medio del fuego y los quemarás en el fuego. De él saldrá un fuego para toda la casa de Israel.
5 This is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[drawing will represent] Jerusalem, [the city which] I have set in the center of the nations, with [other] countries around it.
“El Señor Yahvé dice: ‘Esta es Jerusalén. La he puesto en medio de las naciones, y los países la rodean.
6 But the wicked people of Jerusalem rebelled against [obeying] my commands, and [they show that] they are more wicked than the people of the surrounding countries. They rejected my laws and refused to obey my commands.’
Ella se ha rebelado contra mis ordenanzas haciendo más maldad que las naciones, y contra mis estatutos más que los países que la rodean; pues han rechazado mis ordenanzas, y en cuanto a mis estatutos, no han andado en ellos.’
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘You people of Jerusalem have been more rebellious than the people of the nations around you; you have not obeyed any of my laws [DOU]. You have not even obeyed the laws of the nations around you!’
“Por eso dice el Señor Yahvé: ‘Por cuanto eres más turbulento que las naciones que te rodean, y no has andado en mis estatutos, ni has guardado mis ordenanzas, ni has seguido las ordenanzas de las naciones que te rodean;
8 Therefore, this is [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am opposed to [you people of] Jerusalem. I will punish you, and the [people of other] nations will see it happen.
por eso dice el Señor Yahvé: ‘He aquí que yo, yo mismo, estoy contra ti; y ejecutaré en ti juicios a la vista de las naciones.
9 Because of all your detestable [idols], I will punish [people of Jerusalem] like I have never done before and will never do again.
Haré en vosotros lo que no he hecho, y no haré más nada parecido, a causa de todas vuestras abominaciones.
10 As a result, parents among you will eat their children, and children will eat their [because there will be nothing else to eat]. I will punish you [severely], and I will cause those who will still be alive to be scattered in all directions [IDM].’
Por tanto, los padres se comerán a los hijos dentro de vosotros, y los hijos se comerán a sus padres. Ejecutaré juicios sobre vosotros; y esparciré todo el remanente de vosotros a todos los vientos.
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, because you have polluted my temple with all your disgusting [statues of idols] and by the other detestable things that you do, I will no longer bless you. I will not pity [you] or act mercifully [toward you].
Por lo tanto, vivo yo — dice el Señor Yahvé —, ciertamente, porque habéis profanado mi santuario con todas vuestras cosas detestables y con todas vuestras abominaciones, por eso también os disminuiré. Mi ojo no perdonará, y no tendré piedad.
12 One-third of your people will die inside the city because of the plagues [they will experience] or by (famine/lack of food). One-third of your people will be killed [your enemies’] swords outside the city. And one-third I will cause to be scattered in all directions; [your enemies] will [still] pursue you and kill you with their swords.
Una tercera parte de ustedes morirá con la peste, y serán consumidos por el hambre dentro de ustedes. Una tercera parte caerá por la espada a tu alrededor. A una tercera parte la dispersaré a todos los vientos, y sacaré una espada tras ellos.
13 Then I will no longer be angry with you; I will stop punishing [MTY] you after I have gotten revenge on you. And when I stop punishing you, you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken to you because I have been very strongly concerned [what you have done].
“‘Así se cumplirá mi enojo, y haré descansar mi ira contra ellos, y seré consolado. Sabrán que yo, Yahvé, he hablado en mi celo, cuando haya cumplido mi ira contra ellos.
14 I will cause your [city] to be a ruins, with the result that [people of other] nations that are around you will pass by and see it and sneer at you.
“‘Además, te convertiré en desolación y oprobio entre las naciones que te rodean, a la vista de todos los que pasan.
15 They will make fun of you and taunt you. When I severely punish you because of my being very angry [DOU] with you, they will be horrified and they will be warned. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Así que será un oprobio y una burla, una instrucción y un asombro, para las naciones que están alrededor de ti, cuando ejecute juicios sobre ti con ira y con enojo, y con reprimendas iracundas — yo, Yahvé, lo he dicho —
16 When I cut off your food supply and cause there to be more famine, [it will be as though] [MET] I am shooting at you with my arrows that will destroy you.
cuando envíe sobre ellos las flechas malignas del hambre que son para la destrucción, las cuales enviaré para destruirte. Aumentaré el hambre sobre ustedes y romperé su bastón de pan.
17 I will cause you to experience a famine, and I will send wild beasts to attack you and your children, and [all] your children will be killed. You will experience plagues and wars, and I will cause [your enemies] to attack you with their swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
Enviaré sobre ustedes el hambre y los animales malignos, y los despojarán. La peste y la sangre pasarán por ti. Traeré sobre ti la espada. Yo, Yahvé, lo he dicho”.
