Ezequiel 28
1 La palabra de Yahvé volvió a dirigirse a mí, diciendo:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
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 —
“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 he aquí que tú eres más sabio que Daniel. No hay ningún secreto que se le oculte.
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 Por tu sabiduría y por tu entendimiento te has enriquecido, y han conseguido oro y plata en sus tesoros.
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 Por tu gran sabiduría y con tu comercio has aumentado tus riquezas, y tu corazón se eleva a causa de tus riquezas...”
[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 “‘Por eso dice el Señor Yahvé: “Porque has puesto tu corazón como el corazón de Dios,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a 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.
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 llevarán a la fosa. Morirás la muerte de los que son asesinados en el corazón de los mares.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in 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.
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 Morirás con la muerte de los incircuncisos de la mano de extraños; porque yo lo he dicho”, dice el Señor Yahvé”.
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 Además, vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
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.
“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 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 [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 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.
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 perfecto en tus caminos desde el día en que fuiste creado, hasta que la injusticia se encontró en ti.
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 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.
[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 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.
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 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.
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 los pueblos se asombrarán de ti. Te has convertido en un terror, y no existirás más”.
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 La palabra de Yahvé vino a mí, diciendo:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 “Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro hacia Sidón, y profetiza contra ella,
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to 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.
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 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.
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 “‘“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”.
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 “‘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.
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 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”.
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].”
