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 live in the midst of a provoking house. They have eyes to see, and they do not see; and ears to hear, and they do not hear. For they are a provoking house.
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.
As for you, then, son of man, prepare for yourself the supplies for traveling far away, and travel away in the daytime in their sight. And you shall travel from your place to another place in their sight, so that perhaps they may consider it. For they are a provoking house.
4 Que vean tu equipaje de día. Sal delante de ellos al llegar la noche, como los que van al cautiverio.
And you shall carry your supplies outside, like the supplies of one who is traveling far away, in the daytime in their sight. Then you shall go forth in the evening in their presence, just as one goes forth who is moving far away.
5 Perfora la pared delante de ellos y sal a través de la perforación.
Dig for yourself through the wall, before their eyes. And you shall 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.
In their sight, you shall be carried on shoulders, you shall be carried in the dark. You shall cover your face, and you shall not see the ground. For I have appointed you as a portent for the house 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.
Therefore, I did just as he had instructed me. I brought out my supplies in the daytime, like the supplies of one who is moving far away. And in the evening, I dug myself through the wall by hand. And I went out in the dark, and I was carried on shoulders, in their sight.
8 Por la mañana la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
And the word of the Lord came to me, in the morning, saying:
9 Hijo de hombre, ¿la casa rebelde de Israel, no te preguntó qué haces?
“Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the provoking house, 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.
Say to them: Thus says the Lord God: This is the burden concerning my leader who is in Jerusalem, and concerning the entire house of Israel, who are in their midst.
11 Diles: Yo soy su señal. Como yo hice, así se hará a ellos: Irán al destierro en cautiverio.
Say: I am your portent. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They will be taken captive and moved far away.
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 leader who is in their midst will be carried on shoulders; he will go forth in darkness. They will dig through the wall, so that they may lead him away. His face will be covered, so that he may not see the land with his eye.
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 I will extend my net over him, and he will be captured in my dragnet. And I will lead him to Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, but he himself will not see it. And there he shall die.
14 Esparciré su escolta y todas sus tropas a todos los puntos cardinales. Desenvainaré una espada tras ellos.
And all who are around him, his guards and his companies, I will scatter into every wind. And I will unsheathe the sword after them.
15 Cuando los esparza entre las naciones y los disperse por la tierra, sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have dispersed them among the Gentiles, and will have sowed them among the lands.
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.
And I will leave behind a few men of them, apart from the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence, so that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the Gentiles, to whom they will go. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
17 Además, la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
And 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, eat your bread in consternation. Moreover, drink your water hurriedly and in sorrow.
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: Thus says the Lord God, to those who are living in Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in anxiety, and drink their water in desolation, so that the land may be desolate before its multitude, because of the iniquity of all who are living in it.
20 Las ciudades habitadas quedarán devastadas y la tierra será una desolación. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
And cities that are now inhabited will become desolate, and the land will be forsaken. And you shall know 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 proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: ‘The days shall be extended in length, and every vision shall perish.’
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.
Therefore, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will cause this proverb to cease, and it shall no longer be a common saying in Israel. And tell them that the days are approaching, and the word of every vision.
24 Porque ya no habrá alguna visión falsa ni brujería lisonjera en la Casa de Israel.
For there shall no longer be any empty visions, nor any ambiguous divination in the midst of the sons of 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, the Lord, will speak. And whatever word I will speak, it shall be done, and it shall not be delayed any more. Instead, in your days, O provoking house, I will speak a word and do it, says the Lord God.”
26 La Palabra de Yavé vino a Mí:
And 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, behold the house of Israel, those who are saying: ‘The visions that this one sees is many days away,’ and, ‘This man prophesies about times that are far away.’
28 Por tanto diles: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ninguna Palabra mía tendrá dilación. Lo que Yo hable se cumplirá, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: No word of mine will be delayed any longer. The word that I will speak will be fulfilled, says the Lord God.”
