Ezequiel 16

1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

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

2 Hijo de hombre, denuncia las repugnancias de Jerusalén.

Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

3 ʼAdonay Yavé sobre Jerusalén dice: Tu origen, tu nacimiento fue cananeo. Tu padre fue amorreo y tu madre hetea.

And say, Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem; Your birth and your nativity is of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother an Hittite.

4 En cuanto a tu nacimiento, el día cuando naciste no fue cortado tu ombligo, ni fuiste lavada con agua para limpiarte, ni frotada con sal, ni envuelta en pañales.

And as for your nativity, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to supple you; you were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

5 No hubo ojo que tuviera compasión de ti para hacerte algo de esto, sino el día cuando naciste fuiste echada sobre la superficie del campo.

None eye pitied you, to do any of these to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, to the loathing of your person, in the day that you were born.

6 Pero Yo pasé junto a ti y vi que te revolcabas en tu propia sangre. Mientras estabas tendida en tu sangre, te dije: ¡Vive! Sí, cuando estabas en tu sangre, te dije: ¡Vive!

And when I passed by you, and saw you polluted in your own blood, I said to you when you were in your blood, Live; yes, I said to you when you were in your blood, Live.

7 Te multipliqué como la hierba del campo. Creciste, llegaste a ser grande y muy hermosa. Tus pechos se formaron y tu cabello creció, pero estabas desnuda y descubierta.

I have caused you to multiply as the bud of the field, and you have increased and waxen great, and you are come to excellent ornaments: your breasts are fashioned, and your hair is grown, whereas you were naked and bore.

8 Otra vez pasé junto a ti y te miré. Ciertamente era tu tiempo de amores. Extendí mi manto sobre ti y cubrí tu desnudez. Te di juramento y entré en Pacto contigo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, y fuiste mía.

Now when I passed by you, and looked on you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord GOD, and you became mine.

9 Entonces te lavé con agua, te limpié la sangre de encima y te ungí con aceite.

Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

10 Luego te vestí con obra bordada, te calcé con sandalias de tejón, te até lino fino y te cubrí de seda.

I clothed you also with broidered work, and shod you with badgers’ skin, and I girded you about with fine linen, and I covered you with silk.

11 Te adorné con joyas, puse brazaletes en tus brazos y un collar en tu cuello.

I decked you also with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.

12 Te puse un pendiente en tu nariz, zarcillos en tus orejas y una diadema hermosa sobre tu cabeza.

And I put a jewel on your forehead, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Fuiste adornada con oro y plata. Tu ropa era de lino fino, de seda y de obra bordada. Comiste flor de harina con miel y aceite. Fuiste bellísima y prosperaste hasta llegar a dignidad real.

Thus were you decked with gold and silver; and your raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; you did eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and you were exceeding beautiful, and you did prosper into a kingdom.

14 Tu fama salió entre las naciones a causa de tu belleza, la cual era perfecta como resultado de mi esplendor que Yo puse sobre ti, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

And your renown went forth among the heathen for your beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put on you, says the Lord GOD.

15 Pero confiaste en tu belleza. Te prostituiste a causa de tu fama y practicaste tus fornicaciones con todo el que pasaba. Eras de él.

But you did trust in your own beauty, and played the harlot because of your renown, and poured out your fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.

16 Tomaste algunas de tus ropas. Te hiciste lugares altos de diversos colores y fornicaste sobre ellos, cosas que no deben suceder ni jamás sucederán.

And of your garments you did take, and decked your high places with divers colors, and played the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

17 También tomaste tus bellas joyas de oro y de plata que Yo te di. Te hiciste estatuas de varones y fornicaste con ellos.

You have also taken your fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made to yourself images of men, and did commit prostitution with them,

18 Tomaste tus ropas bordadas y los cubriste con ellas. Pusiste mi aceite y mi incienso delante de ellos.

And took your broidered garments, and covered them: and you have set my oil and my incense before them.

19 También les serviste como olor grato el pan que te di, la flor de harina, el aceite y la miel con los cuales Yo te alimentaba. Así sucedió, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

My meat also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you have even set it before them for a sweet smell: and thus it was, says the Lord GOD.

20 Además, tomaste tus hijos y tus hijas que me diste a luz, y los sacrificaste ante ellos para que fueran quemados. ¿Tus fornicaciones eran poca cosa

Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and these have you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Is this of your prostitutions a small matter,

21 para que también degollaras a mis hijos y los ofrecieras a aquellas estatuas de varones como ofrenda que el fuego consumía?

That you have slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?

22 En todas tus repugnancias y tus fornicaciones no te acordaste de los días de tu juventud, cuando estabas desnuda y descubierta, cuando estabas envuelta en tu sangre.

And in all your abominations and your prostitutions you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bore, and were polluted in your blood.

23 Entonces sucedió, después de todas tus perversidades, ¡Ay, ay de ti! dice ʼAdonay Yavé,

And it came to pass after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the LORD GOD; )

24 que te edificaste un altar y te estableciste un lugar alto en cada plaza.

That you have also built to you an eminent place, and have made you an high place in every street.

25 Te edificaste lugares altos en la esquina de cada calle. Convertiste tu hermosura en repugnancia. Abriste tus piernas a todo el que pasaba y multiplicaste tus prostituciones.

You have built your high place at every head of the way, and have made your beauty to be abhorred, and have opened your feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied your prostitutions.

26 Fornicaste con los egipcios, tus vecinos de gruesas carnes, y multiplicaste tus prostituciones para ofenderme.

You have also committed fornication with the Egyptians your neighbors, great of flesh; and have increased your prostitutions, to provoke me to anger.

27 Por tanto ciertamente Yo extendí contra ti mi mano. Disminuí tu provisión y te entregué a la voluntad de las hijas de los filisteos, quienes te aborrecen y se avergüenzan de tu perversa conducta.

Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of them that hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of your lewd way.

28 También, porque eres insaciable, te prostituiste con los asirios. Sí, fornicaste con ellos. Tampoco te saciaste.

You have played the whore also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the harlot with them, and yet could not be satisfied.

29 También multiplicaste tus prostituciones hasta la tierra de los caldeos. Tampoco con esto te saciaste.

You have moreover multiplied your fornication in the land of Canaan to Chaldea; and yet you were not satisfied therewith.

30 ¡Cuán inconstante es tu corazón, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, al hacer todas estas cosas, obras de una prostituta desvergonzada

How weak is your heart, says the LORD GOD, seeing you do all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;

31 que edificó su casa de prostitución en la esquina de cada calle, e hizo su lugar alto en cada plaza! Y no fuiste igual a una prostituta, porque no cobrabas la paga de tu prostitución.

In that you build your eminent place in the head of every way, and make your high place in every street; and have not been as an harlot, in that you scorn hire;

32 ¡Esposa adúltera, que en vez de recibir a su esposo, recibe a extraños!

But as a wife that commits adultery, which takes strangers instead of her husband!

33 A todas las prostitutas les dan regalos, pero tú diste regalos a todos tus amantes. Les diste regalos y los sobornaste para que de todos lados llegaran a unirse contigo en tus prostituciones.

They give gifts to all whores: but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and hire them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.

34 Y sucedió contigo en tus prostituciones lo contrario de lo que sucede a otras mujeres, porque ninguno te solicitó para fornicar. Tú diste la paga en vez de recibirla. En esto fuiste diferente.

And the contrary is in you from other women in your prostitutions, whereas none follows you to commit prostitutions: and in that you give a reward, and no reward is given to you, therefore you are contrary.

35 Por tanto oh prostituta, oye la Palabra de Yavé.

Why, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

36 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Por cuanto tu inmundicia fue derramada y descubierta tu desnudez por tus fornicaciones con tus amantes y por todos los ídolos de tus repugnantes prácticas, porque les ofreciste la sangre de tus hijos,

Thus says the Lord GOD; Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness discovered through your prostitutions with your lovers, and with all the idols of your abominations, and by the blood of your children, which you did give to them;

37 por tanto, ciertamente reuniré a todos tus amantes con los cuales te gozaste, tanto a los que amaste como a los que aborreciste. Los reuniré contra ti de todas partes y descubriré tu desnudez ante ellos, para que observen toda tu desnudez.

Behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all them that you have loved, with all them that you have hated; I will even gather them round about against you, and will discover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

38 Te juzgaré como son juzgadas las adúlteras y las homicidas, y descargaré sobre ti la sangre del furor y de los celos.

And I will judge you, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give you blood in fury and jealousy.

39 También te entregaré en manos de tus amantes. Destruirán tus lugares altos y derribarán tus altares. Te despojarán de tu ropa, se llevarán tus hermosas joyas y te dejarán desnuda y descubierta.

And I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your eminent place, and shall break down your high places: they shall strip you also of your clothes, and shall take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bore.

40 Ellos incitarán contra ti a una multitud, quienes te apedrearán. Te destrozarán con sus espadas.

They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

41 Destruirán tus casas con fuego. Ejecutarán juicios sobre ti a la vista de muchas mujeres. Entonces detendré tu prostitución. Tampoco volverás a pagar a tus amantes.

And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women: and I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot, and you also shall give no hire any more.

42 De este modo calmaré mi furor contra ti. Mi celo se apartará de ti y me aplacaré. No me airaré más.

So will I make my fury toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

43 Porque no recordaste los días de tu juventud, y me provocaste a ira con todas estas cosas, ciertamente Yo también traeré tu conducta sobre tu cabeza, dice ʼAdonay Yavé. No cometerás perversidad además de todas tus repugnancias.

Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense your way on your head, says the Lord GOD: and you shall not commit this lewdness above all your abominations.

44 Ciertamente todo el que cite dichos te aplicará a ti éste: ¡De tal madre, tal hija!

Behold, every one that uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

45 Hija eres de tu madre, que aborreció a su esposo y a sus hijos. Hermana eres de tus hermanas, que aborrecieron a sus esposos y a sus hijos. Tu madre fue hetea y tu padre amorreo.

You are your mother’s daughter, that lothes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

46 Tu hermana mayor es Samaria, quien vive con sus hijas a tu derecha, y tu hermana menor que está a tu derecha es Sodoma con sus hijas.

And your elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at your left hand: and your younger sister, that dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

47 No solo seguiste sus caminos e imitaste sus repugnancias, sino como si eso fuera poco, te corrompiste más que ellas en todos tus caminos.

Yet have you not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, you were corrupted more than they in all your ways.

48 Vivo Yo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, que tu hermana Sodoma con sus hijas no hicieron lo que hiciste tú y tus hijas.

As I live, says the Lord GOD, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.

49 Mira, éste fue el delito de tu hermana Sodoma: ella y sus hijas tuvieron orgullo, saciedad de pan y gran ociosidad, pero no extendió la mano al pobre y al necesitado.

Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

50 Se llenaron de orgullo delante de Mí. Cometieron repugnancia delante de Mí. Cuando lo vi, la quité.

And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

51 Pero Samaria no cometió ni la mitad de tus pecados, porque tú multiplicaste tus repugnancias más que ellas. Así, con todas las repugnancias que cometiste, lograste que tus hermanas parezcan justas.

Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters in all your abominations which you have done.

52 Tú, que juzgaste a tus hermanas, lleva también tu propia vergüenza, porque con tus pecados que cometiste fuiste más repugnante que ellas. Lograste que ellas parezcan más justas que tú.

You also, which have judged your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins that you have committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than you: yes, be you confounded also, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.

53 Pero Yo cambiaré su cautividad, la cautividad de Sodoma y sus hijas y la cautividad de Samaria y sus hijas. Y devolveré a ellas los cautivos de tu cautividad,

When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of your captives in the middle of them:

54 para que lleves tu afrenta, te avergüences de todo lo que hiciste y así las consueles.

That you may bear your own shame, and may be confounded in all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.

55 Tus hermanas, Sodoma con sus hijas y Samaria con sus hijas, volverán a su estado antiguo. También tú y tus hijas volverán al primer estado.

When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.

56 Tu hermana Sodoma no era digna de mención en tus labios en el tiempo de tu orgullo,

For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

57 antes que tu perversidad fuera descubierta. Así también ahora eres el reproche de las hijas de Edom y de todas las hijas de los filisteos, las cuales te desprecian por todas partes.

Before your wickedness was discovered, as at the time of your reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise you round about.

58 Sufre tú el castigo de tu perversidad y de tus repugnancias, dice Yavé.

You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD.

59 Porque ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¿Haré contigo como tú hiciste conmigo, que despreciaste el juramento para invalidar el Pacto?

For thus says the Lord GOD; I will even deal with you as you have done, which have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

60 Sin embargo, Yo recordaré mi Pacto que concerté contigo en los días de tu juventud y estableceré contigo un Pacto sempiterno.

Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.

61 Entonces tú te acordarás de tu camino. Te avergonzarás cuando recibas a tus hermanas, la mayor y la menor que tú, a quienes Yo te las daré como hijas. Pero no por causa de tu pacto,

Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder and your younger: and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

62 sino del Pacto que Yo estableceré contigo. Y sabrás que Yo soy Yavé,

And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the LORD:

63 para que te acuerdes, te avergüences y no vuelvas a abrir tu boca de vergüenza cuando Yo te perdone todo lo que hiciste, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

That you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I am pacified toward you for all that you have done, says the Lord GOD.
