Ezequiel 28
1 Me fue dirigida la palabra de Yahvé en estos términos:
The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
2 “Hijo de nombre, di al príncipe de Tiro: Así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Se ha engreído tu corazón, y has dicho: «Yo soy un dios, yo ocupo el asiento de Dios en medio de los mares», siendo tú un hombre y no Dios, aunque te imaginaste ser un dios.
Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, This is what the Lord has said: Because your heart has been lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I am seated on the seat of God in the heart of the seas; but you are man and not God, though you have made your heart as the heart of God:
3 ¿Acaso eres tú más sabio que Daniel, y no hay secreto alguno que te quede oculto?
See, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret which is deeper than your knowledge:
4 Te hiciste rico con tu sabiduría y con tu inteligencia, y amontonaste oro y plata en tus tesorerías.
By your wisdom and deep knowledge you have got power for yourself, and put silver and gold in your store-houses:
5 Con tu mucho saber y con tu comercio aumentaste tu poder, y se ha engreído tu corazón a causa de tu poderío.
By your great wisdom and by your trade your power is increased, and your heart is lifted up because of your power:
6 Por eso así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Por cuanto te imaginaste ser un dios,
For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your heart as the heart of God,
7 por tanto, he aquí que haré venir contra ti extranjeros, los más feroces de los pueblos; que desenvainarán sus espadas contra las obras maestras de tu sabiduría, y profanarán tu gloria.
See, I am sending against you strange men, feared among the nations: they will let loose their swords against your bright wisdom, they will make your glory a common thing.
8 Te harán descender a la fosa, y morirás de la muerte de aquellos que mueren en el seno del mar.
They will send you down to the underworld, and your death will be the death of those who are put to the sword in the heart of the seas.
9 ¿Seguirás entonces diciendo frente a tu matador: «Yo soy un dios»? Hombre serás, y no Dios, en la mano del que te traspasa.
Will you say, in the face of those who are taking your life, I am God? but you are man and not God in the hands of those who are wounding you.
10 Morirás de la muerte de los incircuncisos, por mano de extranjeros; pues Yo he hablado”, dice Yahvé, el Señor.
Your death will be the death of those who are without circumcision, by the hands of men from strange lands: for I have said it, says the Lord.
11 Y vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
12 “Hijo de hombre, entona una elegía sobre el rey de Tiro, y dile: Así habla Yahvé, el Señor: Tú eras el sello de la perfección, lleno de sabiduría y de acabada hermosura.
Son of man, make a song of grief for the king of Tyre, and say to him, This is what the Lord has said: You are all-wise and completely beautiful;
13 Vivías en el Edén, jardín de Dios; todas clases de piedras preciosas formaban tu vestido: el sardio, el topacio, el diamante, el crisólito, el ónice, el jaspe, el zafiro, el carbunclo, la esmeralda y el oro. Tus tambores y tus flautas estuvieron a tu servicio en el día en que fuiste creado.
You were in Eden, the garden of God; every stone of great price was your clothing, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the emerald and the carbuncle: your store-houses were full of gold, and things of great price were in you; in the day when you were made they were got ready.
14 Eras un querubín ungido para proteger; así Yo te había constituido; estabas en el monte santo de Dios y caminabas en medio de piedras de fuego.
I gave you your place with the winged one; I put you on the mountain of God; you went up and down among the stones of fire.
15 Perfecto fuiste en tus caminos desde el día de tu creación, hasta que fue hallada en ti la iniquidad.
There has been no evil in your ways from the day when you were made, till sin was seen in you.
16 Con el gran aumento de tu comercio se llenó tu corazón de violencias y pecaste; por tanto te profané (echándote) del monte de Dios; y te destruí, oh querubín protector, de en medio de las piedras de fuego.
Through all your trading you have become full of violent ways, and have done evil: so I sent you out shamed from the mountain of God; the winged one put an end to you from among the stones of fire.
17 Se engrió tu corazón a causa de tu hermosura; corrompiste tu sabiduría con tu esplendor; por eso, te arrojé al suelo y te di en espectáculo a los reyes.
Your heart was lifted up because you were beautiful, you made your wisdom evil through your sin: I have sent you down, even to the earth; I have made you low before kings, so that they may see you.
18 Por la multitud de tus maldades, y por las injusticias de tu comercio profanaste tu santidad; por eso hice salir fuego de en medio de ti, un fuego que te consumió, y te convertí en ceniza sobre la tierra, ante los ojos de todos los que te ven.
By all your sin, even by your evil trading, you have made your holy places unclean; so I will make a fire come out from you, it will make a meal of you, and I will make you as dust on the earth before the eyes of all who see you.
19 Todos los que te conocían entre los pueblos, están asombrados de ti; has venido a ser un objeto de pasmo y ya no existirás nunca jamás.”
All who have knowledge of you among the peoples will be overcome with wonder at you: you have become a thing of fear, and you will never be seen again.
20 Y me llegó la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Hijo de hombre, vuelve tu rostro hacia Sidón, y profetiza contra ella.
Son of man, let your face be turned to Zidon, and be a prophet against it, and say,
22 Dirás: Así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Heme aquí contra ti, Sidón; Yo quiero glorificarme en medio de ti; y conocerán que Yo soy Yahvé, cuando la juzgue y manifieste en ella mi santidad.
These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Zidon; and I will get glory for myself in you: and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I send my punishments on her, and I will be seen to be holy in her.
23 Enviaré contra ella la peste, y habrá sangre en sus calles, y caerán en medio de ella traspasados por la espada, que la herirá por todos lados; y conocerán que Yo soy Yahvé.
And I will send on her disease and blood in her streets; and the wounded will be falling in the middle of her, and the sword will be against her on every side; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
24 Y ya no habrá para la casa de Israel zarza punzante ni espina que le cause dolor, en medio de todos sus circunvecinos que la desprecian; y conocerán que Yo soy Yahvé.
And there will no longer be a plant with sharp points wounding the children of Israel, or a thorn troubling them among any who are round about them, who put shame on them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
25 Así dice Yahvé, el Señor: Cuando Yo congregare la casa de Israel de entre los pueblos entre los cuales han sido dispersados, entonces manifestaré mi santidad de ellos a la vista de los gentiles, y habitarán en su tierra que di a mi siervo Jacob.
This is what the Lord has said: When I have got together the children of Israel from the peoples among whom they are wandering, and have been made holy among them before the eyes of the nations, then they will have rest in the land which is theirs, which I gave to my servant Jacob
26 Habitarán allí en paz, edificarán casas y plantarán viñas; habitarán en seguridad cuando Yo haga justicia en todos aquellos que los desprecian por todos lados; y conocerán que Yo, Yahvé, soy su Dios.”
And they will be safe there, building houses and planting vine-gardens and living without fear; when I have sent my punishments on all those who put shame on them round about them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord their God.
