< Ezequiel 32 >
1 En el año duodécimo, en el mes duodécimo, en el primer día del mes, “vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 ‘Hijo de hombre, levanta un lamento sobre el Faraón, rey de Egipto, y dile, “Fuiste comparado con un joven león de las naciones; pero eres como un monstruo en los mares. Te has desbordado con tus ríos, y agita las aguas con tus pies, y ensuciaron sus ríos”.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
3 El Señor Yahvé dice: “Extenderé mi red sobre ti con una compañía de muchos pueblos. Te subirán a mi red.
But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
4 Te dejaré en la tierra. Te echaré al campo abierto, y hará que todas las aves del cielo se posen sobre ti. Satisfaré con vosotros a los animales de toda la tierra.
They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
5 Pondré tu carne sobre las montañas, y llena los valles con tu altura.
I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
6 También regaré con tu sangre la tierra en la que nadas, incluso a las montañas. Los cursos de agua estarán llenos de ti.
I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
7 Cuando te extinga, cubriré los cielos y hacer que sus estrellas sean oscuras. Cubriré el sol con una nube, y la luna no dará su luz.
When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
8 Haré que todas las luces brillantes del cielo se oscurezcan sobre ti, y poner las tinieblas en tu tierra”, dice el Señor Yahvé.
I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
9 “También perturbaré el corazón de muchos pueblos, cuando traiga tu destrucción entre las naciones, en los países que no has conocido.
And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
10 Sí, haré que muchos pueblos se asombren de ti, y sus reyes temerán horriblemente por ti, cuando blandía mi espada ante ellos. Temblarán a cada momento, cada hombre por su propia vida, en el día de tu caída”.
I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
11 Porque el Señor Yahvé dice: “La espada del rey de Babilonia vendrá sobre ti.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
12 Haré que tu multitud caiga por las espadas de los poderosos. Son todos los despiadados de las naciones. Harán desaparecer el orgullo de Egipto, y toda su multitud será destruida.
I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
13 Destruiré también todos sus animales de al lado de muchas aguas. El pie del hombre no les molestará más, ni las pezuñas de los animales les molestarán.
I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
14 Entonces haré que sus aguas sean claras, y hacer que sus ríos corran como el aceite”. dice el Señor Yahvé.
Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
15 “Cuando haga que la tierra de Egipto esté desolada y sea un desierto, una tierra desprovista de aquello de lo que estaba llena, cuando golpee a todos los que allí habitan, entonces sabrán que yo soy Yahvé.
When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
16 “‘“Este es el lamento con el que se lamentarán. Las hijas de las naciones se lamentarán con esto. Se lamentarán con ella sobre Egipto y sobre toda su multitud”, dice el Señor Yahvé”.
That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
17 También en el año duodécimo, en el decimoquinto día del mes, vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
18 “Hijo de hombre, llora por la multitud de Egipto, y hazla descender, a ella y a las hijas de las naciones famosas, a las partes bajas de la tierra, con los que descienden a la fosa.
“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
19 ¿A quiénes pasas en la belleza? Desciendan y se acuesten con los incircuncisos.
Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
20 Caerán entre los muertos por la espada. Ella es entregada a la espada. Arrastradla con todas sus multitudes.
[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
21 El fuerte entre los poderosos le hablará desde el medio del Seol con los que le ayudan. Ellos han descendido. Los incircuncisos yacen inmóviles, muertos por la espada. (Sheol )
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol )
22 “Asur está allí con toda su compañía. Sus tumbas están a su alrededor. Todos ellos están muertos, caídos por la espada,
[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
23 cuyas tumbas se encuentran en las partes más extremas de la fosa, y su compañía está alrededor de su tumba, todos ellos muertos, caídos por la espada, que causó el terror en la tierra de los vivos.
The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
24 “Allí está Elam y toda su multitud en torno a su tumba; todos ellos muertos, caídos a espada, que han descendido incircuncisos a las partes bajas de la tierra, que causaron su terror en la tierra de los vivos, y han llevado su vergüenza con los que descienden a la fosa.
A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
25 Han hecho de Elam un lecho entre los muertos con toda su multitud. Sus tumbas la rodean, todos ellos incircuncisos, muertos a espada; porque su terror fue causado en la tierra de los vivos, y han llevado su vergüenza con los que descienden a la fosa. Ha sido puesto entre los muertos.
They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
26 “Allí están Meshech, Tubal y toda su multitud. Sus tumbas los rodean, todos ellos incircuncisos, muertos por la espada; porque causaron su terror en la tierra de los vivos.
[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
27 No se acostarán con los poderosos caídos de los incircuncisos, que descendieron al Seol con sus armas de guerra y pusieron sus espadas bajo sus cabezas. Sus iniquidades están sobre sus huesos; porque fueron el terror de los poderosos en la tierra de los vivos. (Sheol )
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol )
28 “Pero tú serás quebrantado entre los incircuncisos, y te acostarás con los muertos por la espada.
You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
29 “Ahí está Edom, sus reyes y todos sus príncipes, que con su poderío se acuestan con los muertos por la espada. Yacerán con los incircuncisos y con los que descienden a la fosa.
People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
30 “Allí están los príncipes del norte, todos ellos, y todos los sidonios, que han descendido con los muertos. Han sido avergonzados por el terror que causaron con su poderío. Yacen incircuncisos con los muertos por la espada, y llevan su vergüenza con los que descienden a la fosa.
All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
31 “El Faraón los verá y se consolará sobre toda su multitud, el Faraón y todo su ejército, muertos a espada”, dice el Señor Yahvé.
The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
32 “Porque he puesto su terror en la tierra de los vivos. Será puesto entre los incircuncisos, con los muertos a espada, el Faraón y toda su multitud”, dice el Señor Yahvé.
While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
