Ezequiel 28

1 Me llegó un mensaje del Señor que decía:

[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:

2 “Hijo de hombre, dile al gobernante de Tiro que esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Estás muy orgulloso de ti mismo, diciendo: ‘¡Soy un dios! Me siento en mi trono como un dios en medio del mar’. Pero sólo eres un hombre. No eres un dios, aunque te creas uno.

“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.

3 ¡Incluso te crees más sabio que Daniel y no hay secreto que se te oculte!

[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.

4 Sí, has utilizado tu sabiduría y tu astucia para hacerte rico, recogiendo mucho oro y plata para tu tesoro.

By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.

5 Te hiciste rico gracias a tus magníficas habilidades comerciales, pero tu riqueza no hizo más que enorgullecerte.

[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.

6 “Así que esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Como te crees un dios,

Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,

7 mira cómo traigo extranjeros para que te ataquen. Son más crueles que cualquier otra nación. Usarán sus espadas para destruirte a ti y a tu maravillosa sabiduría; humillarán tu orgullosa gloria.

I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.

8 Te arrastrarán a la tumba. Morirás horriblemente en el mar.

They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.

9 ¿Seguirás afirmando que eres un dios ante los que te están matando? Sólo serás otra víctima humana, no un dios, a los ojos de tus atacantes.

Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.

10 Te matarán como a una persona vil por estos extranjeros. Yo mismo he hablado, declara el Señor Dios”.

You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”

11 Otro mensaje del Señor me llegó, diciendo:

Yahweh also gave me this message:

12 “Hijo de hombre, canta un canto fúnebre para el rey de Tiro y dile que esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Una vez fuiste completo y perfecto, lleno de sabiduría e impecable en belleza.

“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.

13 Estabas en el Edén, el jardín de Dios. Llevabas toda clase de piedras preciosas: cornalina, topacio y amatista; berilo, ónice y jaspe; lapislázuli, turquesa y esmeralda. Fueron colocados en monturas y engastes de oro, con un trabajo artesanal, y fueron hechos el día en que fuiste creado.

You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.

14 Te di la posición de querubín guardián y te ungí. Vivías en el monte santo de Dios y caminabas entre las piedras de fuego.

I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.

15 Fuiste inocente en todo lo que hiciste desde el día en que fuiste creado hasta que se descubrió que hacías el mal.

You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.

16 Estabas tan ocupado con todos tus planes comerciales que te destruyeron por dentro, llevándote al pecado y llenándote de violencia. Por eso te expulsé en desgracia del monte de Dios, y te aparté de tu posición de querubín guardián de tu lugar entre las piedras de fuego.

[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.

17 Te enorgulleciste a causa de tu belleza, arruinaste tu sabiduría porque te creíste tan maravillosa. Así que te arrojé al suelo y me aseguré de que los reyes vieran lo que te ocurrió.

You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.

18 Con todos tus pecados y tu comercio deshonesto has ensuciado tus santuarios. Así que hice salir fuego de tu interior, y te quemó. Te convertí en cenizas en el suelo mientras todos los que estaban allí miraban.

By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.

19 Todos los que te conocen entre las naciones están horrorizados por lo que te ha ocurrido. El desastre te ha derribado y estás acabado para siempre”.

All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”

20 Me llegó un mensaje del Señor que decía:

[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],

21 “Hijo de hombre, mira hacia Sidón y profetiza contra ella.

“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.

22 Diles que esto es lo que dice el Señor: Cuidado, Sidón, porque te estoy condenando, y seré vindicado por lo que te suceda. La gente sabrá que yo soy el Señor cuando la castigue y muestre mi carácter santo a través de su experiencia.

Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].

23 Voy a enviar una enfermedad para que la azote, y haré que la gente muera en sus calles. Los que sean asesinados caerán dentro de la ciudad mientras el enemigo ataca con espadas por todos lados. Entonces sabrán que yo soy el Señor.

I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'

24 El pueblo de Israel ya no tendrá que soportar a esta gente que es una espina en su costado, zarzas dolorosas y espinas afiladas que tratan a Israel con desprecio. Entonces sabrán que yo soy el Señor Dios.

No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”

25 “Esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Cuando haga volver al pueblo de Israel de las naciones donde ha sido dispersado mostraré mi carácter santo a través de ellos, mientras todos los observan. “Entonces vivirán en su propio país, el que le di a mi siervo Jacob.

And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.

26 Allí vivirán con seguridad, construyendo casas y plantando viñedos. Vivirán allí con seguridad cuando yo castigue a todos los que los rodean y los tratan con desprecio. Entonces sabrán que yo soy el Señor, su Dios”.

My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
