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].
Y tú, hijo de hombre, tómate un cuchillo agudo, una navaja de barbero toma, y hazla pasar sobre tu cabeza y tu barba; tómate después un peso de balanza, y reparte los pelos.
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.
La tercera parte quemarás con fuego en medio de la ciudad, cuando se cumplieren los días del cerco, y tomarás la otra tercera parte, y herirás con cuchillo alrededor de ella; y la otra tercera parte esparcirás al viento, y yo desenvainaré espada en pos de ellos.
3 Take a few of your hairs and tuck them into the folds of your robe.
Tomarás de allí unos pocos por cuenta, y los atarás en el canto de tu ropa.
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.
Y tomarás otra vez de ellos, y los echarás en mitad del fuego, y en el fuego los quemarás; de allí saldrá el fuego en 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.
Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Esta es Jerusalén: yo la puse en medio de los gentiles y de las tierras alrededor de ella.
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.’
Y ella mudó mis juicios y mis ordenanzas en impiedad más que los gentiles, y más que las tierras que están alrededor de ella; porque desecharon mis juicios y mis mandamientos, y no anduvieron 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 tanto, así dijo el Señor DIOS: Por haberos yo multiplicado más que a los gentiles que están alrededor de vosotros, no habéis andado en mis mandamientos, ni habéis guardado mis leyes. Ni aun según las leyes de los gentiles que están alrededor de vosotros habéis hecho.
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 tanto así dijo el Señor DIOS: He aquí yo estoy contra ti; sí, yo, y haré juicios en medio de ti a los ojos de los gentiles.
9 Because of all your detestable [idols], I will punish [people of Jerusalem] like I have never done before and will never do again.
Y haré en ti lo que nunca hice, ni jamás haré cosa semejante, a causa de todas tus 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].’
Porque los padres comerán a los hijos en medio de ti, y los hijos comerán a sus padres; y haré en ti juicios, y esparciré a todos los vientos todo tu remanente.
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 tanto, vivo yo, dijo el Señor DIOS, ciertamente por haber tú violado mi Santuario con todas tus contaminaciones, y con todas tus abominaciones, te quebrantaré yo también; mi ojo no perdonará, ni tampoco tendré yo misericordia.
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.
La tercera parte de ti morirá de pestilencia, y será consumida de hambre en medio de ti; y la tercera parte caerá a cuchillo alrededor de ti; y la tercera parte esparciré a todos los vientos, y tras ellos desenvainaré espada.
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].
Y se acabará mi furor, y haré que cese en ellos mi enojo, y tomaré consuelo; y sabrán que yo, el SEÑOR, he hablado en mi celo, cuando haya cumplido en ellos mi enojo.
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.
Y te tornaré en desierto y en oprobio entre los gentiles que están alrededor de ti, a los ojos de todo transeúnte.
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.
Y serás oprobio, y deshonra, y castigo, y espanto a los gentiles que están alrededor de ti, cuando yo hiciere en ti juicios en furor e ira, y en reprensiones de ira. Yo, el SEÑOR, he hablado.
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 arrojare yo sobre ellos las perniciosas saetas del hambre, que serán para destrucción, las cuales yo enviaré para destruiros, entonces aumentaré el hambre sobre vosotros, y quebrantaré entre vosotros 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.”
Enviaré, pues, sobre vosotros hambre, y malas bestias que te destruyan; y pestilencia y sangre pasarán por ti; y meteré sobre ti cuchillo. Yo, el SEÑOR, he hablado.
