Ezequiel 12

1 Entonces la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Hijo de hombre, tú vives en medio de una casa rebelde, quienes tienen ojos para ver y no miran. Tienen oídos para oír y no escuchan, porque son casa rebelde.

Son of man, you are living among an uncontrolled people, who have eyes to see but see not, and ears for hearing but they do not give ear; for they are an uncontrolled people.

3 Por tanto tú, hijo de hombre, prepárate un equipaje de cautivo y que te vean cuando sales cautivo de día de tu lugar a otro lugar. Tal vez atiendan, aunque son casa rebelde.

And you, O son of man, by day, before their eyes, get ready the vessels of one who is taken away, and go away from your place to another place before their eyes: it may be that they will see, though they are an uncontrolled people.

4 Que vean tu equipaje de día. Sal delante de ellos al llegar la noche, como los que van al cautiverio.

By day, before their eyes, take out your vessels like those of one who is taken away: and go out in the evening before their eyes, like those who are taken away as prisoners.

5 Perfora la pared delante de ellos y sal a través de la perforación.

Make a hole in the wall, before their eyes, and go out through it.

6 Lo llevarás sobre tus hombros delante de ellos. Lo llevarás en la oscuridad. Te cubrirás la cara para que no veas el suelo, porque te puse como señal para la Casa de Israel.

And before their eyes, take your goods on your back and go out in the dark; go with your face covered: for I have made you a sign to the children of Israel.

7 Yo hice como me fue ordenado. De día llevé mi equipaje como el equipaje de un cautivo, como si saliera al cautiverio. Al llegar la noche perforé la pared con mis manos. Salí a la oscuridad y lo cargué sobre mi hombro delante de ellos.

And I did as I was ordered: I took out my vessels by day, like those of one who is taken away, and in the evening I made a hole through the wall with a tent-pin; and in the dark I went out, taking my things on my back before their eyes.

8 Por la mañana la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

And in the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

9 Hijo de hombre, ¿la casa rebelde de Israel, no te preguntó qué haces?

Son of man, has not Israel, the uncontrolled people, said to you, What are you doing?

10 Diles: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Esta profecía se refiere al gobernante de Jerusalén y a toda la Casa de Israel que está en ella.

You are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: This word has to do with the ruler in Jerusalem and all the children of Israel in it.

11 Diles: Yo soy su señal. Como yo hice, así se hará a ellos: Irán al destierro en cautiverio.

Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so will it be done to them: they will go away as prisoners.

12 El gobernante que está entre ellos cargará su equipaje de cautivo al hombro. Perforará el muro para sacar su equipaje de cautivo a través de él. Cubrirá su cara para no ver el suelo.

And the ruler who is among them will take his goods on his back in the dark and go out: he will make a hole in the wall through which to go out: he will have his face covered so that he may not be seen.

13 Yo también extenderé mi red sobre él. Será atrapado en mi trampa y será llevado a Babilonia, a la tierra de los caldeos. Sin embargo no la verá. Allí morirá.

And my net will be stretched out on him, and he will be taken in my cords: and I will take him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldaeans; but he will not see it, and there death will come to him.

14 Esparciré su escolta y todas sus tropas a todos los puntos cardinales. Desenvainaré una espada tras ellos.

And all his helpers round about him and all his armies I will send in flight to every wind; and I will let loose a sword after them.

15 Cuando los esparza entre las naciones y los disperse por la tierra, sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.

And they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I send them in flight among the nations, driving them out through the countries.

16 Pero libraré a unos pocos de ellos de la espada, del hambre y de la pestilencia, para que cuenten todas sus repugnancias en las naciones adonde van. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.

But a small number of them I will keep from the sword, from the need of food, and from disease, so that they may make clear all their disgusting ways among the nations where they come; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

17 Además, la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

18 Hijo de hombre, come tu pan con temblor. Bebe tu agua con estremecimiento y angustia.

Son of man, take your food with shaking fear, and your water with trouble and care;

19 Y dí al pueblo de la tierra: ʼAdonay Yavé dice esto con respecto a los habitantes de Jerusalén y a la tierra de Israel: Comerán su pan con angustia. Beberán su agua con horror. Porque su tierra será despojada de todo lo que hay en ella a causa de la violencia de todos los que viven en ella.

And say to the people of the land, This is what the Lord has said about the people of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will take their food with care and their drink with wonder, so that all the wealth of their land may be taken from it because of the violent ways of the people living in it.

20 Las ciudades habitadas quedarán devastadas y la tierra será una desolación. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.

And the peopled towns will be made waste, and the land will become a wonder; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

21 Entonces la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

22 Hijo de hombre, ¿Qué significa ese dicho que tienen en la tierra de Israel, que dice: Pasa día tras día, y la visión no se cumple?

Son of man, what is this saying which you have about the land of Israel, The time is long and every vision comes to nothing?

23 Por tanto diles: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Eliminaré ese dicho. No será pronunciado más en Israel. Sino les dirás: Se acerca el día y también el cumplimiento de toda visión.

For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: I have made this saying come to an end, and it will no longer be used as a common saying in Israel; but say to them, The days are near, and the effect of every vision.

24 Porque ya no habrá alguna visión falsa ni brujería lisonjera en la Casa de Israel.

For there will be no more false visions or smooth use of secret arts in Israel.

25 Yo, Yavé, hablaré, y la Palabra que Yo hable se cumplirá. No habrá más dilación, sino en los días de ustedes, oh casa rebelde. Hablaré la Palabra y la cumpliré, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

For I am the Lord; I will say the word and what I say I will do; it will not be put off: for in your days, O uncontrolled people, I will say the word and do it, says the Lord.

26 La Palabra de Yavé vino a Mí:

Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

27 Hijo de hombre, ciertamente la Casa de Israel dice: La visión que él tiene es para muchos años, y él profetiza para tiempos lejanos.

Son of man, see, the children of Israel say, The vision which he sees is for the days which are a long way off, and his words are of times still far away.

28 Por tanto diles: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ninguna Palabra mía tendrá dilación. Lo que Yo hable se cumplirá, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

Say to them then, This is what the Lord has said: Not one of my words will be put off any longer, but what I say I will do, says the Lord.
