Ezequiel 28
1 La palabra de Yahvé volvió a dirigirse a mí, diciendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Hijo de hombre, dile al príncipe de Tiro: ‘El Señor Yahvé dice: “Porque tu corazón es elevado, y tú has dicho: ‘Soy un dios’, Me siento en el asiento de Dios, en medio de los mares”. sin embargo, eres un hombre, y ningún dios, aunque pongas tu corazón como el de un dios —
“Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted, and you have said, ‘I am God, and I sit in the chair of God, in the heart of the sea,’ though you are a man, and not God, and because you have presented your heart as if it were the heart of God:
3 he aquí que tú eres más sabio que Daniel. No hay ningún secreto que se le oculte.
Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is concealed from you.
4 Por tu sabiduría y por tu entendimiento te has enriquecido, y han conseguido oro y plata en sus tesoros.
By your wisdom and prudence, you have made yourself strong, and you have acquired gold and silver for your storehouses.
5 Por tu gran sabiduría y con tu comercio has aumentado tus riquezas, y tu corazón se eleva a causa de tus riquezas...”
By the multitude of your wisdom, and by your business dealings, you have multiplied strength for yourself. And your heart has been exalted by your strength.
6 “‘Por eso dice el Señor Yahvé: “Porque has puesto tu corazón como el corazón de Dios,
Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted as if it were the heart of God,
7 por lo tanto, he aquí que traeré extraños sobre ti, el terrible de las naciones. Desenvainarán sus espadas contra la belleza de tu sabiduría. Ensuciarán su brillo.
for this reason, behold, I will lead over you foreigners, the most robust among the Gentiles. And they will bare their swords over the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your beauty.
8 Te llevarán a la fosa. Morirás la muerte de los que son asesinados en el corazón de los mares.
They will destroy you and pull you down. And you will die the death of those slain in the heart of the sea.
9 ¿Aún dirás ante el que te mate: “Yo soy Dios”? Pero tú eres un hombre, y no Dios, en la mano del que te hiere.
So then, will you speak, in the presence of those who are destroying you, before the hand of those who are killing you, saying, ‘I am God,’ though you are a man, and not God?
10 Morirás con la muerte de los incircuncisos de la mano de extraños; porque yo lo he dicho”, dice el Señor Yahvé”.
You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hand of foreigners. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.”
11 Además, vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre,
12 “Hijo de hombre, levanta un lamento sobre el rey de Tiro, y dile: ‘El Señor Yahvé dice: “Fuiste el sello de la medida completa, lleno de sabiduría, y perfecta en belleza.
and you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord God: You were the seal of similitudes, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 Estuviste en el Edén, el jardín de Dios. Todas las piedras preciosas te adornaban: rubí, topacio, esmeralda, crisolita, ónix, jaspe, zafiro, turquesa y berilo. Orfebrería de panderetas y de tuberías estaba en ti. Se prepararon en el día en que fuisteis creados.
You were with the delights of the Paradise of God. Every precious stone was your covering: sardius, topaz, and jasper, chrysolite, and onyx, and beryl, sapphire, and garnet, and emerald. The work of your beauty was of gold, and your fissures were ready in the day when you were formed.
14 Tú eras el querubín ungido que cubre. Entonces, te instalé en el monte sagrado de Dios. Has caminado arriba y abajo en medio de las piedras de fuego.
You were a cherub, stretched out and protecting, and I stationed you on the holy mountain of God. You have walked in the midst of stones containing fire.
15 Fuiste perfecto en tus caminos desde el día en que fuiste creado, hasta que la injusticia se encontró en ti.
You were perfect in your ways, from the day of your formation, until iniquity was found in you.
16 Por la abundancia de tu comercio, tus entrañas se llenaron de violencia, y has pecado. Por eso te he expulsado como profano del monte de Dios. Te he destruido, querubín de cobertura, desde el centro de las piedras de fuego.
By the multitude of your business dealings, your interior was filled with iniquity, and you sinned. And I cast you away from the mountain of God, and I perished you, O protecting cherub, from the midst of the stones containing fire.
17 Tu corazón se enalteció a causa de tu belleza. Has corrompido tu sabiduría a causa de tu esplendor. Te he arrojado al suelo. Te he presentado ante los reyes, para que te vean.
And your heart was exalted by your beauty; you have destroyed your own wisdom by your beauty. I have cast you to the ground. I have presented you before the face of kings, so that they may examine you.
18 Por la multitud de tus iniquidades, en la injusticia de su comercio, habéis profanado vuestros santuarios. Por eso he sacado un fuego de en medio de ti. Te ha devorado. Te he convertido en cenizas en la tierra a la vista de todos los que te ven.
You have defiled your sanctuaries, by the multitude of your iniquities and by the iniquity of your business dealings. Therefore, I will produce a fire from your midst, which will consume you, and I will make you into ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all who are watching you.
19 Todos los que te conocen entre los pueblos se asombrarán de ti. Te has convertido en un terror, y no existirás más”.
All who gaze upon you among the Gentiles will be stupefied over you. You were made out of nothing, and you shall not be, forever.”
20 La palabra de Yahvé vino a mí, diciendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 “Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro hacia Sidón, y profetiza contra ella,
“Son of man, set your face against Sidon, and you shall prophesy about it.
22 y di: ‘El Señor Yahvé dice: “He aquí que estoy contra ti, Sidón. Seré glorificado entre vosotros. Entonces sabrán que yo soy Yahvé, cuando haya ejecutado juicios en ella, y soy santificado en ella.
And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, Sidon, and I will be glorified in your midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have executed judgments in her, and when I will have been sanctified in her.
23 Porque enviaré a ella la peste, y sangre en sus calles. Los heridos caerán dentro de ella, con la espada sobre ella en cada lado. Entonces sabrán que yo soy Yahvé.
And I will send a pestilence upon her, and there will be blood in her streets. And they will fall, slain by the sword, on every side in her midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 “‘“Ya no habrá zarza que pinche a la casa de Israel, ni espina que hiera a los que la rodean y la desprecian. Entonces sabrán que yo soy el Señor Yahvé”.
And the house of Israel will no longer be a stumbling block of bitterness, nor a thorn bringing pain everywhere around them, to those who turn against them. And they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
25 “‘El Señor Yahvé dice: “Cuando haya reunido a la casa de Israel de entre los pueblos en los que está dispersa, y me muestre como santo entre ellos a la vista de las naciones, entonces habitarán en su propia tierra que le di a mi siervo Jacob.
Thus says the Lord God: “When I will have gathered together the house of Israel, from the peoples among whom they have been dispersed, I shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the Gentiles. And they shall live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Habitarán en ella con seguridad. Sí, construirán casas, plantarán viñedos y habitarán con seguridad cuando yo haya ejecutado juicios sobre todos los que los rodean y los han tratado con desprecio. Entonces sabrán que yo soy Yahvé, su Dios”.
And they shall live within it securely. And they shall build houses and plant vineyards. And they shall live in confidence, when I will have executed judgments upon all those who turn against them on every side. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God.”
