Ezequiel 16

1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 Hijo de hombre, denuncia las repugnancias de Jerusalén.

“Son of man, inform Jerusalem about her abominations,

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

and declare, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to Jerusalem: Your beginning and your birth took place in the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a 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.

On the day of your birth, your mother did not cut your navel, nor did she purify you in water or rub you down with salt, or wrap cloth around you.

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.

No eye had compassion for you to do any of these things for you, to be compassionate toward you. On the day that you were born, with loathing for your life, you were thrown out into the open field.

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!

But I passed by you, and I saw you writhing in your own blood; so I said to you in your blood, “Live!” I said to you 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 made you grow like a plant in a field. You multiplied and became great, and you became the jewel of jewels. Your breasts became firm, and your hair grew thick, though you had been naked and bare.

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.

I passed by you again, and I saw you. See! the time of love came for you, so I spread my robe over you and covered your nakedness. Then I swore to you and brought you into a covenant—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and you became mine.

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

So I washed you with water and rinsed your blood off 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 dressed you in embroidered clothes and placed leather sandals on your feet. I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk.

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

Next I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain around your neck.

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

I put a nose ring in your nostrils 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.

So you were adorned with gold and silver, and you were dressed in fine linen, silk, and embroidered clothes; you ate fine flour, honey, and oil, and you were very beautiful, and you became a queen.

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.

Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect in the majesty that I had given to you—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

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 trusted in your own beauty, and you acted like a prostitute because of your fame; you poured out your acts of prostitution on everyone who passed by, so that your beauty became his.

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.

Then you took your clothes and with them you made high places for yourself decorated in various colors, and there you acted like a prostitute. This should not have happened. Nor should such a thing exist.

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 took the fine jewels of the gold and silver that I gave you, and you made for yourself male figures, and you did with them as a prostitute would do.

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

You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set my oils and perfumes 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 bread I gave you—made with fine flour, oil, and honey—you set before them for a fragrant aroma, for this is what happened—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

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

Then you took your sons and daughters whom you bore for me, and you sacrificed them to the images to be devoured as food. Are your acts of prostitution 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?

You slaughtered my children to the idols and made them pass through the fire.

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.

In all your abominations and your acts of prostitution you have not thought about the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare as you thrashed about in your blood.

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

Woe! Woe to you!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—therefore, in addition to all this wickedness,

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

you built yourself a vaulted chamber in every public place.

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 built your high place at the head of every road and made your beauty a disgrace, and you spread your legs to anyone who passed by, and you multiplied your acts of prostitution.

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

You have acted like a prostitute with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, and you committed many more acts of prostitution, provoking 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.

See! I will strike you with my hand and cut off your food. I will hand your life over to your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your obscene behavior.

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

You have acted like a prostitute with the Assyrians because you could not be satisfied. You acted like a prostitute and still were not satisfied.

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

You performed many more acts of prostitution in the land of the merchants of Chaldea, and even this did not satisfy you.

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

How sick is your heart—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—that you would do all these things, deeds of a shameless prostitute?

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.

You have built your high places at the head of every street and made your vaulted chamber in every public place. Yet you were not like a prostitute because you refused to take payment.

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

You adulterous woman, you accept strangers instead of your 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.

People give payment to every prostitute, but you give your wages to all your lovers and bribe them to come to you from all around for your acts of 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.

So there is a difference between you and those other women, since no one goes to you to ask you to sleep with them. Instead, you pay them. No one pays you.

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

Therefore, you prostitute, listen to the word of Yahweh.

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,

The Lord Yahweh says this: Because you have poured out your lust and uncovered your nakedness through your acts of prostitution with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children's blood,

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.

therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers that you have met, all those whom you loved and all those whom you hated, and I will gather them against you on every side. I will uncover your nakedness to them so they 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.

For I will punish you for adultery and the shedding of blood, and I will bring on you the bloodshed of my anger and passion.

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.

I will give you into their hands so they will throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your high places and they will strip you of your clothes and take all of your jewelry. They will leave you naked and bare.

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

Then they will bring up a crowd against you and stone you with stones, and they will cut you apart 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.

They will burn your houses and will perform many acts of punishment on you in the sight of many women, for I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers.

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

Then I will calm my fury against you; my anger will leave you, for I will be satisfied, and will no longer be 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 did not call to mind the days of your youth and have made me shake with anger because of all these things, therefore, behold! I myself will bring down on your own head the punishment for what you have done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration. Have you not added prostitution to all your other detestable practices?

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

Behold! Everyone who speaks proverbs concerning you will say, “As the mother is, so also 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 the daughter of your mother, who detested her husband and her children, and you are the sister of your sisters who detested their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father was 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.

Your older sister was Samaria and her daughters were the ones living in the north, while your younger sister was the one living south of you, that 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.

You not only walked in their ways and copied their behavior and practices, but in all your ways you have been worse than they were.

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—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—your sister Sodom and her daughters, have not done as much evil as you and your daughters have done.

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 sin of your sister Sodom that she was arrogant in her leisure, careless and unconcerned about anything. She did not strengthen the hands of the poor and needy people.

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

She was arrogant and committed disgusting actions before me, so I took them away just as you have seen.

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 did Samaria commit even half of your sins; instead, you have done many more disgusting things than they did, and you have shown that your sisters were better than you because of all the disgusting things that you do!

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.

Especially you, show your own shame; in this way you have shown that your sisters were better than you, because of the sins you committed in all those disgusting ways. Your sisters now seem better than you. Especially you, show your own shame, for in this way you have shown that your sisters were better than you.

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,

For I will restore their fortunes—the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters; but your fortunes will be among them.

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

On account of these things you will show your shame; you will be humiliated because of everything that you have done, and in this way you will be 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.

So your sister Sodom and her daughters will be restored to their former condition, and Samaria and her daughters will be restored to their former estate. Then you and your daughters will be restored to your former condition.

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

Sodom your sister was not even mentioned by your mouth in the days when you were proud,

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 revealed. But now you are an object of scorn to the daughters of Edom and to all the daughters of the Philistines around her. People all about despise you.

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

You will show your shame and your disgusting actions!—this is Yahweh's declaration!

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

The Lord Yahweh says this: I will deal with you as you deserve, you who have despised your oath by 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.

But I myself will call to mind my covenant with you made in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

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 will call to mind your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older sisters and your younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.

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

I myself will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.

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.

Because of these things, you will call everything to mind and be ashamed, so you will no longer open your mouth to speak because of your shame, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
