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, oh hijo de hombre, toma una espada afilada, y úsala como una navaja barbera sobre tu cabeza y barba. Después toma una balanza para pesar y divide el cabello [en tres tercios.]
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.
Un tercio lo quemarás en el fuego dentro de la ciudad mientras los días del asedio se acaban. Luego toma otro tercio, y con la espada lo sacudirás alrededor de la ciudad, y un tercio lo esparcirás al viento, porque desenvainaré una espada tras ellos.
3 Take a few of your hairs and tuck them into the folds of your robe.
Toma también unos pocos de ellos, y átalos en los bordes de tus ropas.
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.
Tomarás otra vez algunos de ellos, y los echarás al fuego. Quémalos en el fuego. De él se extenderá un fuego a 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.
ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ésta es Jerusalén. La coloqué en el centro de las naciones, rodeada de tierras.
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.’
Pero ella se rebeló contra mis Ordenanzas y mis Estatutos. Pecó más perversamente que los pueblos que la rodean, porque rechazaron mis Ordenanzas y no practicaron mis Estatutos.
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 tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Porque ustedes se portaron con mayor turbulencia que los demás pueblos que están alrededor de ustedes, y no siguieron mis Estatutos ni cumplieron mis Decretos, ni siquiera actuaron como es costumbre de las naciones que están alrededor de ustedes.
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 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Aquí estoy también contra ti. Te juzgaré a 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.
A causa de todas tus repugnancias, haré contigo lo que nunca hice, ni volveré a hacer cosa semejante.
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 sus hijos en medio de ti y los hijos se comerán a sus padres. Haré actos de justicia contra ti y esparciré tu remanente a todo punto cardinal.
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].
Así que ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Vivo Yo, ciertamente porque ustedes contaminaron mi Santuario con todas sus cosas detestables y todas sus repugnancias, Yo también los quebrantaré. Mi ojo no perdonará, ni tendré misericordia de ti.
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.
Un tercio de los tuyos morirá de pestilencia, el hambre los consumirá dentro de ti. Un tercio caerá a espada alrededor de ti y un tercio esparciré a todos los puntos cardinales. Yo desenvainaré una espada detrás de 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].
De este modo mi furor se desahogará y caerá sobre ellos. Quedaré satisfecho. Y cuando cumpla mi furor sobre ellos, sabrán que Yo, Yavé, hablé con pasión.
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 en reproche entre las naciones que te rodean, a la vista de todos los que pasen.
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.
Cuando Yo ejecute en ti juicios con furor e indignación, y reprensiones con ira, te reduciré a escarnio, afrenta, burla y horror para los pueblos que están alrededor de ti. Yo, Yavé, hablé.
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 Yo dispare contra ellos las terribles flechas de la hambruna que serán para destrucción, las cuales dispararé contra ustedes, intensificaré el hambre sobre ustedes y quebraré el sustento del 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.”
Además, enviaré contra ustedes la hambruna y bestias salvajes, que los despojarán de los hijos. Pasarán sobre ti la pestilencia y la matanza. Enviaré la espada contra ti. Yo, Yavé, hablé.
