Ezequiel 14
1 Entonces unos ancianos de Israel llegaron y se sentaron frente a mí.
And men from [the] elderly of Israel come to me, and sit before me.
2 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
3 Hijo de hombre, estos hombres establecieron sus ídolos en sus corazones, y pusieron la piedra de tropiezo de su iniquidad delante de ellos mismos. ¿Debo ser consultado por ellos de algún modo?
“Son of man, these men have caused their idols to go up on their heart, and they have put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their faces; am I inquired of at all by them?
4 Por tanto háblales: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Cualquier hombre de la Casa de Israel que estableció ídolos en su corazón, puso la piedra de tropiezo de su iniquidad delante de él mismo y venga al profeta, Yo, Yavé, le responderé según sus numerosos ídolos,
Therefore, speak with them, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Everyone of the house of Israel who causes his idols to go up to his heart, and sets the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and has gone to the prophet—I, YHWH, have given an answer to him for this, for the abundance of his idols,
5 a fin de atrapar a la Casa de Israel por el corazón, porque todos ellos se apartaron de Mí a causa de sus ídolos.
in order to catch the house of Israel by their heart, in that they have become estranged from off Me by their idols—all of them.
6 Por tanto dí a la Casa de Israel: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Regresen y conviértanse de sus ídolos. Aparten sus caras de todas sus repugnancias.
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Turn back, indeed, turn back from your idols, and turn back your faces from all your abominations,
7 Porque cualquiera de la Casa de Israel y de los extranjeros que están en Israel, que se aparta de Mí, establece sus ídolos en su corazón, pone delante de él la piedra de tropiezo de su iniquidad y [luego] acuda al profeta a preguntar por Mí, Yo, Yavé, personalmente le responderé.
for everyone of the house of Israel, and of the sojourners who sojourn in Israel, who is separated from after Me, and causes his idols to go up to his heart, and sets the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and has come to the prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I, YHWH, have answered him for Myself;
8 Pondré mi rostro contra ese hombre. Lo convertiré en una señal y en un dicho, y lo cortaré de mi pueblo. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
and I have set My face against that man, and made him for a sign, and for allegories, and I have cut him off from the midst of My people, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.
9 Si el profeta es seducido a decir alguna cosa, Yo, Yavé, seduje a ese profeta. Apuntaré mi furor contra él y lo destruiré de en medio de mi pueblo Israel.
And the prophet, when he is enticed, and has spoken a word—I, YHWH, have enticed that prophet, and have stretched out My hand against him, and have destroyed him from the midst of My people Israel.
10 Ambos llevarán el castigo de su iniquidad. La iniquidad del profeta será como la iniquidad del que consulta,
And they have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet;
11 para que la Casa de Israel ya no se desvíe de Mí, ni se contamine más con sus transgresiones, y sean mi pueblo y Yo sea su ʼElohim, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
so that the house of Israel does not wander from after Me anymore, nor are they defiled with all their transgressions anymore, and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God—a declaration of Lord YHWH.”
12 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
13 Hijo de hombre, si una tierra peca contra Mí porque se rebela infielmente, y Yo extiendo mi mano sobre ella, le quebranto el sustento del pan, envío a ella hambre y corto de ella a hombres y animales,
“Son of man, when the land sins against Me to commit a trespass, and I have stretched out My hand against it, and broken the staff of bread for it, and sent famine into it, and cut off man and beast from it—
14 y en ella están estos tres varones: Noé, Daniel y Job, ellos, por su justicia, se librarían, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
and [despite] these three men [that] have been in its midst: Noah, Daniel, and Job—they [only] deliver their own soul by their righteousness,” a declaration of Lord YHWH.
15 Si suelto bestias feroces por la tierra, la asolan y queda desolada de tal modo que nadie puede pasar a causa de las fieras,
“If I cause an evil beast to pass through the land, and it has bereaved, and it has been a desolation, without any passing through because of the beast—
16 y estos tres varones están en medio de ella, vivo Yo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, no podrían librar ni a sus hijos ni a sus hijas. Solo ellos serían librados, pero la tierra quedaría desolada.
[despite] these three men in its midst—[as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “they deliver neither sons nor daughters; they alone are delivered, and the land is a desolation.
17 O si Yo traigo la espada sobre aquella tierra, y digo: Espada, pasa por la tierra, y corto de ella a hombres y animales,
Or [if] I bring a sword in against that land, and I have said: Sword, pass over through the land, and I have cut off man and beast from it—
18 y estos tres varones están en ella, vivo Yo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, no podrían librar ni a sus hijos ni a sus hijas. Solo ellos serían librados.
and [despite] these three men in its midst—[as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “they do not deliver sons and daughters, for they alone are delivered.
19 O si envío pestilencia sobre esa tierra y derramo mi furor sobre ella en sangre para cortar de ella hombre y animal,
Or [if] I send pestilence to that land, and I have poured out My fury against it in blood, to cut off man and beast from it—
20 y están en ella Noé, Daniel y Job, vivo Yo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, no podrían librar ni a su hijo ni a su hija. Solo ellos mismos, por su justicia, serían librados.
and [despite] Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst—[as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “they deliver neither son nor daughter; they, by their righteousness, [only] deliver their own soul.”
21 Por lo cual ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¿Cuánto más cuando Yo envíe contra Jerusalén mis cuatro juicios terribles: la espada, el hambre, las bestias feroces y la pestilencia para cortar de ella a hombre y animal?
For thus said Lord YHWH: “Although My four severe judgments—sword, and famine, and wild beast, and pestilence—I have sent to Jerusalem, to cut off man and beast from it,
22 Pero ciertamente quedará en ella un remanente, hijos e hijas que serán llevados fuera. Ciertamente ellos acudirán a ustedes. Ustedes verán su conducta y sus hechos. Y serán consolados de la calamidad que mandé sobre Jerusalén, de todas las cosas que traje sobre ella,
yet, behold, there has been left an escape in it, who are brought forth, sons and daughters, behold, they are coming forth to you, and you have seen their way, and their doings, and have been comforted concerning the calamity that I have brought in against Jerusalem, all that which I have brought in against it.
23 cuando ustedes vean la conducta y los hechos de ellos. Entonces ustedes serán consolados de la calamidad que traje contra Jerusalén, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
And they have comforted you, for you see their way and their doings, and you have known that I have not done all that which I have done in her for nothing,” a declaration of Lord YHWH.
