Ezekiel 23
1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
La palabra de Yahvé vino de nuevo a mí, diciendo:
2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
“Hijo de hombre, había dos mujeres, hijas de una misma madre.
3 They acted as prostitutes in Egypt in the time of their youth. They acted as prostitutes there. Their breasts were squeezed and their virgin nipples were fondled there.
Hicieron de prostituta en Egipto. Jugaron a la prostitución en su juventud. Allí les acariciaban los pechos y les acariciaban los pezones en su juventud.
4 Their names were Oholah—the older sister—and Oholibah—her younger sister. Then they became mine and bore sons and daughters. Their names mean this: Oholah means Samaria, and Oholibah means Jerusalem.
Sus nombres eran Oholah la mayor y Oholibah su hermana. Se hicieron mías, y dieron a luz hijos e hijas. En cuanto a sus nombres, Samaria es Oholah, y Jerusalén Oholibah.
5 But Oholah acted as a prostitute even when she was mine; she lusted for her lovers, for the Assyrians who were dominant,
“Oholah jugaba a la prostitución cuando era mía. Ella se prostituía con sus amantes, con los asirios sus vecinos,
6 the governor who wore blue, and for his officials, who were strong and handsome, all of them men riding on horses.
que estaban vestidos de azul-gobernantes y gobernantes, todos ellos jóvenes deseables, jinetes montados a caballo.
7 So she gave herself as a prostitute to them, to all the best of Assyria's men, and she made herself unclean with everyone she lusted for—and with all their idols.
Se entregó a ellos como prostituta, a todos los hombres más selectos de Asiria. Se profanó con los ídolos de quienquiera que deseara.
8 For she had not left her prostitute behavior behind in Egypt, when they had slept with her when she had been a young girl, when they first began to fondle her virgin breasts, when they first began to pour out their promiscuous behavior on her.
No dejó su prostitución desde que salió de Egipto, pues en su juventud se acostaron con ella. Acariciaron sus pezones juveniles y derramaron sobre ella su prostitución.
9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
“Por eso la entregué en manos de sus amantes, en manos de los asirios a los que se dedicaba.
10 They uncovered her nakedness, took her sons and daughters, killed her with the sword, and she became notorious among other women, so they executed judgment on her.
Estos descubrieron su desnudez. Tomaron a sus hijos y a sus hijas, y la mataron a espada. Se convirtió en un sinónimo entre las mujeres, pues ejecutaron juicios contra ella.
11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, but she lusted even more passionately and acted like a prostitute even more than her sister.
“Su hermana Oholibah lo vio, pero se corrompió más que ella en su lujuria y en su prostitución, que era más depravada que la de su hermana.
12 She lusted for the Assyrians, the governors and the dominating officials who dressed impressively, who were men riding horses. All of them were strong, handsome men.
Ella codiciaba a los asirios, a los gobernadores y a los gobernantes, a sus vecinos, vestidos de la manera más hermosa, a los jinetes que montaban a caballo, todos ellos jóvenes deseables.
13 I saw that she had made herself unclean. It was the same for both sisters.
Vi que se había contaminado. Las dos iban por el mismo camino.
14 Then she increased her prostitution even more. She saw men carved on walls, figures of Chaldeans painted in red,
“Aumentó su prostitución, porque vio a hombres retratados en la pared, las imágenes de los caldeos retratados con rojo,
15 wearing belts around their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads. All of them had the appearance of officers of chariot troops, the likeness of sons of Babylonia, whose native land is Chaldea.
vestidos con cinturones en la cintura, con turbantes fluidos en la cabeza, todos ellos con aspecto de príncipes, a semejanza de los babilonios en Caldea, la tierra de su nacimiento.
16 As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them, so she sent out messengers to them in Chaldea.
En cuanto los vio, los codició y les envió mensajeros a Caldea.
17 Then the Babylonians came to her and to her bed of lust, and they made her unclean with their promiscuousness. By what she had done she was made unclean, so she turned herself away from them in disgust.
Los babilonios se acercaron a ella en el lecho del amor, y la profanaron con su prostitución. Se contaminó con ellos, y su alma se alejó de ellos.
18 When she displayed her acts of prostitution and uncovered her nakedness, I turned away from her, just as I had turned away in disgust from her sister.
Entonces ella descubrió su prostitución y descubrió su desnudez. Entonces mi alma se alejó de ella, como mi alma se alejó de su hermana.
19 Then she increased her prostitution as she remembered the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in the land of Egypt.
Sin embargo, ella multiplicó su prostitución, recordando los días de su juventud, en los que había jugado a la prostitución en la tierra de Egipto.
20 So she lusted for her lovers, whose private parts were like those of donkeys, and whose reproductive emissions were like those of horses.
Codició a sus amantes, cuya carne es como la de los asnos, y cuyo flujo es como el de los caballos.
21 This is how you committed shameful acts of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled your nipples and squeezed your young breasts.
Así llamaste a la memoria la lascivia de tu juventud, en la caricia de tus pezones por parte de los egipcios a causa de tus pechos juveniles.
22 Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will turn your lovers against you. Those from whom you turned away, I will bring them against you from every side:
“Por eso, Oholibá, el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘He aquí que yo levanto contra ti a tus amantes, de los que tu alma está enajenada, y los traigo contra ti por todos lados:
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, strong, handsome men, governors and commanders, all of them are officers and men of reputation, all of them riding on horses.
los babilonios y todos los caldeos, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, y todos los asirios con ellos; todos ellos jóvenes deseables, gobernadores y gobernantas, príncipes y hombres de renombre, todos ellos montados a caballo.
24 They will come against you with weapons, and with chariots and wagons, and with a great crowd of people. They will set large shields, small shields, and helmets against you all around. I will give them the opportunity to punish you, and they will punish you with their actions.
Vendrán contra ti con armas, carros y carretas, y con una compañía de pueblos. Se pondrán en contra de ti con escudo y casco alrededor. Les encomendaré el juicio, y ellos te juzgarán según sus juicios.
25 For I will set my jealous anger on you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and your daughters, and your survivors will be devoured by fire.
Pondré mi celo contra ti, y te tratarán con furia. Te quitarán la nariz y las orejas. Tu remanente caerá por la espada. Se llevarán a tus hijos y a tus hijas, y el resto de vosotros será devorado por el fuego.
26 They will strip you of your clothes and take away all of your jewelry.
También te despojarán de tus ropas y te quitarán tus hermosas joyas.
27 So I will remove your shameful behavior from you and your acts of prostitution from the land of Egypt. You will not lift up your eyes toward them with longing, and you will think of Egypt no longer.'
Así haré que cese de vosotros vuestra lascivia, y quitaré vuestra prostitución de la tierra de Egipto, para que no levantéis vuestros ojos hacia ellos, ni os acordéis más de Egipto.’
28 For the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will give you into the hand of the ones you hate, back into the hand of the ones from whom you had turned away.
“Porque el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘He aquí que yo te entregaré en mano de aquellos a quienes odias, en mano de aquellos de quienes tu alma está enajenada.
29 They will deal with you hatefully; they will take all your possessions and abandon you naked and bare, and your nakedness will be uncovered just as when you engaged in promiscuity and prostitutions.
Ellos te tratarán con odio, y te quitarán todo tu trabajo, y te dejarán desnuda y descubierta. La desnudez de tu prostitución será descubierta, tanto tu lascivia como tu prostitución.
30 These things will be done to you in your acting like a prostitute, lusting after nations by which you became unclean with their idols.
Estas cosas te sucederán porque te has prostituido según las naciones, y porque te has contaminado con sus ídolos.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, so I will put her cup of punishment into your hand.'
Has seguido el camino de tu hermana; por eso entregaré su copa en tu mano’.
32 The Lord Yahweh says this, 'You will drink your sister's cup that is deep and large. You will become a laughingstock and a subject for derision—this cup contains a great amount.
“El Señor Yahvé dice: ‘Beberás de la copa de tu hermana, que es profundo y grande. Se le ridiculizará y se le ridiculizará. Contiene mucho.
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and devastation; the cup of your sister Samaria.
Te llenarás de embriaguez y de tristeza, con la copa del asombro y la desolación, con la copa de tu hermana Samaria.
34 You will drink it and drain it empty; then you will shatter it and tear your breasts with the pieces. For I have declared it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'
Incluso lo beberás y lo escurrirás. Roerás los trozos rotos, y desgarrará tus pechos; porque yo lo he dicho’, dice el Señor Yahvé.
35 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because you have forgotten me and thrown me away behind your back, so also you will bear the consequences of your shameful behavior and acts of sexual immorality.'”
“Por eso dice el Señor Yahvé: ‘Como me has olvidado y me has echado a tus espaldas, por eso también soportas tu lascivia y tu prostitución’”.
36 Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? So present to them their disgusting actions,
El Señor me dijo además: “Hijo de hombre, ¿vas a juzgar a Oholah y a Oholibah? Entonces declárales sus abominaciones.
37 since they have committed adultery, and since there is blood on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and they have even caused their sons to pass through the fire, as food for their idols.
Porque han cometido adulterio, y hay sangre en sus manos. Han cometido adulterio con sus ídolos. También han hecho pasar por el fuego a sus hijos que me han dado a luz, para que sean devorados.
38 Then they continue to do this to me: They make my sanctuary unclean, and on the same day they defile my Sabbaths.
Además, esto me han hecho: han profanado mi santuario en el mismo día, y han profanado mis sábados.
39 For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, then they came to my sanctuary on the same day to defile it! So behold! This is what they have done in the middle of my house.
Porque cuando mataron a sus hijos para sus ídolos, vinieron el mismo día a mi santuario para profanarlo; y he aquí que han hecho esto en medio de mi casa.
40 You sent out for men who came from far away, to whom messengers had been sent—now behold. They indeed came, those for whom you bathed, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry.
“Además, vosotras, hermanas, habéis mandado llamar a unos hombres que vienen de lejos, a los que se envió un mensajero, y he aquí que vinieron; para los que os lavasteis, os pintasteis los ojos, os adornasteis con ornamentos,
41 There you sat on a beautiful bed and at a table arranged before it where you placed my incense and my oil.
y os sentasteis en un lecho majestuoso, con una mesa preparada delante, en la que pusisteis mi incienso y mi aceite.
42 So the sound of a noisy crowd was around her; including all kinds of men, even Sabeans were brought in from the wilderness, and they put bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.
“La voz de una multitud que estaba a gusto estaba con ella. Con los hombres de la plebe fueron traídos borrachos del desierto; y se pusieron brazaletes en las manos, y hermosas coronas en la cabeza.
43 Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, 'Now they will be sexually immoral with her, and she with them.'
Entonces dije de la que era vieja en adulterios: ‘Ahora jugarán a la prostitución con ella, y ella con ellos’.
44 They went in to her and slept with her as men go in to be with a prostitute. In this way they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, who were immoral women.
Entraron a ella, como se entra a una prostituta. Así entraron a Oholah y a Oholibah, las mujeres lascivas.
45 But righteous men will pass judgment and punish them as adulteresses, and they will punish them with the sentence for those who shed blood, because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.
Los hombres justos las juzgarán con el juicio de las adúlteras y con el juicio de las mujeres que derraman sangre, porque son adúlteras y tienen sangre en sus manos.
46 So the Lord Yahweh says this: I will raise up a company against them and give them up to be terrorized and plundered.
“Porque el Señor Yahvé dice: ‘Traeré una turba contra ellos, y los daré para que los arrojen de un lado a otro y los roben.
47 Then that company will stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
La turba los apedreará y los despachará con sus espadas. Matarán a sus hijos y a sus hijas, y quemarán sus casas con fuego.
48 For I will remove shameful behavior from the land and discipline all the women so they will no longer act like prostitutes.
“‘Así haré cesar la lascivia de la tierra, para que todas las mujeres sean enseñadas a no ser lascivas como tú.
49 So they will set your shameful behavior against you. You will bear the guilt of your sins with your idols, and in this way you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”
Ellos pagarán su lascivia sobre ustedes, y cargarán con los pecados de sus ídolos. Entonces sabrás que yo soy el Señor Yahvé’”.
