Ezequiel 12
1 También vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 “Hijo de hombre, tú habitas en medio de la casa rebelde, que tiene ojos para ver y no ve, que tiene oídos para oír y no oye; porque es una casa rebelde.
“You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn people.
3 “Por lo tanto, tú, hijo de hombre, prepara tu equipaje para mudarte y muévete de día a la vista de ellos. Te trasladarás de tu lugar a otro lugar a la vista de ellos. Puede ser que lo consideren, aunque son una casa rebelde.
Therefore, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].
4 Sacarás tu equipaje de día a la vista de ellos, como equipaje de mudanza. Saldrás tú mismo al atardecer a la vista de ellos, como cuando los hombres salen al destierro.
During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.
5 A la vista de ellos, cava a través del muro y saca tu equipaje por ahí.
Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.
6 A la vista de ellos lo llevarás al hombro y lo sacarás en la oscuridad. Te cubrirás el rostro para no ver la tierra, porque te he puesto como señal para la casa de Israel.”
Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”
7 Lo hice como se me ordenó. Saqué mi equipaje de día, como equipaje de mudanza, y al atardecer cavé a través del muro con la mano. Lo saqué en la oscuridad, y lo llevé al hombro a la vista de ellos.
[So] I did what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.
8 Por la mañana, me llegó la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
9 “Hijo de hombre, ¿no te ha dicho la casa de Israel, la casa rebelde, ‘qué haces’?
“You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 “Diles: El Señor Yahvé dice: “Esta carga concierne al príncipe en Jerusalén y a toda la casa de Israel entre los que se encuentran”.
[So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’
11 “Di: ‘Yo soy tu signo. Como yo he hecho, así se hará con ellos. Irán al exilio, al cautiverio.
Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.
12 “‘El príncipe que esté entre ellos llevará su equipaje al hombro en la oscuridad y saldrá. Cavarán a través de la pared para sacar las cosas de esa manera. Se cubrirá el rostro, porque no verá la tierra con sus ojos.
Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.
13 También tenderé mi red sobre él, y será atrapado en mi trampa. Lo llevaré a Babilonia, a la tierra de los caldeos; pero no la verá, aunque morirá allí.
[it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.
14 Esparciré hacia todos los vientos a todos los que lo rodean para ayudarlo, y a todas sus bandas. Sacaré la espada tras ellos.
I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.
15 “‘Sabrán que yo soy Yahvé cuando los disperse entre las naciones y los esparza por los países.
Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
16 Pero dejaré unos pocos hombres de ellos de la espada, del hambre y de la peste, para que declaren todas sus abominaciones entre las naciones a las que lleguen. Entonces sabrán que yo soy Yahvé”.
But I will spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
17 Y vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
18 “Hijo de hombre, come tu pan con temblor, y bebe tu agua con temblor y con miedo.
“You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.
19 Dile al pueblo de la tierra: “El Señor Yahvé dice respecto a los habitantes de Jerusalén y de la tierra de Israel “Comerán su pan con temor y beberán su agua con espanto, para que su tierra quede desolada, y todo lo que hay en ella, a causa de la violencia de todos los que la habitan.
Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.
20 Las ciudades habitadas serán asoladas, y la tierra será una desolación. Entonces sabrás que yo soy Yahvé”.
The towns where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
21 La palabra de Yahvé vino a mí, diciendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
22 “Hijo de hombre, ¿qué es ese proverbio que tienes en la tierra de Israel, que dice: “Los días se prolongan, y toda visión se cumple”?
“You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
23 Diles, pues, que el Señor Yahvé dice: “Haré cesar este proverbio, y no lo usarán más como proverbio en Israel;” sino que diles: “Los días están cerca, y el cumplimiento de toda visión.
So say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.
24 Porque ya no habrá más visión falsa ni adivinación lisonjera en la casa de Israel.
No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
25 Porque yo soy Yahvé. Yo hablaré, y la palabra que yo hable se cumplirá. Ya no se aplazará más; porque en vuestros días, casa rebelde, hablaré la palabra y la cumpliré”, dice el Señor Yahvé”.
Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”
26 Otra vez vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
27 “Hijo de hombre, he aquí que los de la casa de Israel dicen: ‘La visión que él ve es para muchos días venideros, y profetiza de tiempos lejanos’.
“You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the future.’
28 “Por lo tanto, diles: “El Señor Yahvé dice: “Ninguna de mis palabras se aplazará más, sino que se cumplirá la palabra que yo diga”, dice el Señor Yahvé”.
Therefore say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”
