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, toma un cuchillo afilado, usándolo como la cuchilla de un cortador de cabello, y haciéndolo pasar por encima de tu cabeza y el cabello de tu barbilla como lo hace un barbero; y toma una balanza para separar el cabello por peso.
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.
Debes quemar una tercera parte con fuego dentro de la ciudad, cuando terminen los días del ataque; y una tercera parte debes tomar y dar golpes con la espada alrededor de ella; y da una tercera parte para que el viento se lleve, y yo desenvainaré una espada tras ellos.
3 Take a few of your hairs and tuck them into the folds of your robe.
Y toma un poco de pelos, doblándolos en tu manto.
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 de nuevo toma algunos de estos y ponlos en el fuego, quemándolos en el fuego; y de allí saldrá el fuego para 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.
Esto es lo que el Señor ha dicho: Esta es Jerusalén. La he puesto entre las naciones, y los países la rodean por todos lados;
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 ha ido en contra de mis órdenes haciendo más mal que las naciones, y en contra de mis reglas más que los países que la rodean. Porque han renunciado a mis órdenes, y en cuanto a mis reglas, no han ido al camino de ellas.
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 esta causa, el Señor ha dicho: Porque has estado más rebelde que las naciones que te rodean, y no has sido guiado por mis reglas ni has cumplido mis órdenes, sino que has mantenido las órdenes de las naciones a tu alrededor;
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 esto ha dicho el Señor: Mira, Yo, yo también, estoy contra ti; y ejecutaré juicios entre ti delante de los ojos 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.
Y haré en ti lo que no he hecho y no lo haré otra vez, a causa de todas tus acciones repugnantes.
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 esta causa los padres se comerán a sus hijos, y los hijos se comerán a sus padres; y seré juez entre ustedes, y a los que queden los esparciré 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 esta causa, según mi vida, dice el Señor, porque has dejado mi lugar santo inmundo con todas tus cosas odiadas y todos tus caminos repugnantes, serás repugnante para mí; mi ojo no perdonará; no tendrá misericordia, 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.
Un tercio de ustedes morirá de la enfermedad; un tercio morirá de hambre, un tercio será puesto a la espada a tu alrededor; y un tercero enviaré a los cuatro vientos, soltando 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].
Entonces mi ira estará completa y mi furor se detendrá sobre ellos; y estarán seguros de que yo, el Señor, he dado la palabra de decisión cuando mi ira contra ellos se desahogo.
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 haré un desolación y un nombre de vergüenza entre las naciones que te rodean, a los ojos 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.
Y serás un ejemplo de aprobio, deshonra y espanto, y de escarmiento terrible para las naciones que te rodean, cuando haga efecto mi juicio entre ustedes en ira, en furor y en ardientes represiones, Yo el Señor 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 te envío las flechas malignas de la enfermedad, causando destrucción, que enviaré para ponerte fin; Y, además, tendrán hambre y romperé la provisión 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.”
Y te enviaré en hambre, enfermedad y bestias salvajes, y te dejarán sin hijos; y la enfermedad y la muerte violenta pasarán por ti; Y te enviaré la espada. Yo, el Señor, lo he dicho.
