Ezequiel 22
1 Entonces la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Y tú, hijo de hombre, ¿quieres juzgar a la ciudad sanguinaria? Denuncia entonces todas sus repugnancias.
Now, you son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? yes, you shall show her all her abominations.
3 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Oh ciudad derramadora de sangre dentro de ti, que vas hacia tu fin y que te contaminaste al fabricarte tus ídolos!
Then say you, Thus says the Lord GOD, The city sheds blood in the middle of it, that her time may come, and makes idols against herself to defile herself.
4 Eres culpable por la sangre que derramaste. Te contaminaste con los ídolos que te hiciste. Precipitaste tu hora. Se acerca el fin de tu existencia. Por tanto te convierto en reproche de los pueblos y en burla de todas las tierras.
You are become guilty in your blood that you have shed; and have defiled yourself in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and are come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
5 Las que están cerca y las que están lejos se burlarán de ti, famosa por tu impureza y llena de confusión.
Those that be near, and those that be far from you, shall mock you, which are infamous and much vexed.
6 Mira, los gobernantes de Israel, cada uno según su poder, estuvieron en ti con el propósito de derramar sangre.
Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in you to their power to shed blood.
7 En ti desprecian al padre y a la madre, atropellan al extranjero, despojan al huérfano y a la viuda,
In you have they set light by father and mother: in the middle of you have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in you have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
8 menosprecian mis cosas sagradas y profanan mis sábados.
You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths.
9 En ti hay hombres que calumnian para derramar sangre, van a comer a los lugares altos y cometen perversidades.
In you are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in you they eat on the mountains: in the middle of you they commit lewdness.
10 En ti descubren la desnudez del padre y violan a la mujer durante su flujo menstrual.
In you have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in you have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
11 En ti cada uno comete repugnancia con la esposa de su prójimo, contamina perversamente a su nuera y viola a su hermana, hija de su padre.
And one has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
12 En ti reciben soborno para derramar sangre. Prestas por interés y con usura. Defraudas con violencia a tu prójimo. Te olvidaste de Mí, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
In you have they taken gifts to shed blood; you have taken usury and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten me, says the Lord GOD.
13 Entonces mira, Yo bato las manos por la ganancia deshonesta que adquieres y por la sangre derramada que hay dentro de ti.
Behold, therefore I have smitten my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the middle of you.
14 ¿Estará firme tu corazón? ¿Tus manos estarán fuertes el día cuando Yo proceda contra ti? Yo, Yavé, hablé y lo cumpliré.
Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
15 Te dispersaré entre los pueblos. Te esparciré por las tierras y acabaré tu inmundicia.
And I will scatter you among the heathen, and disperse you in the countries, and will consume your filthiness out of you.
16 Tú misma serás contaminada a vista de las naciones. Y sabrás que Yo soy Yavé.
And you shall take your inheritance in yourself in the sight of the heathen, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
17 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 Hijo de hombre, la Casa de Israel se me convirtió en escoria. En el crisol, todos ellos se convirtieron en bronce, estaño, hierro y escoria de plata.
Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the middle of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
19 Por tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Por cuanto todos se convirtieron en escoria, ciertamente Yo los reuniré en Jerusalén.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.
20 Como reúnen la plata, el bronce, el hierro, el plomo y el estaño en el horno, y soplan fuego sobre ellos para fundirlos, así los reuniré en mi furor. Soplaré, y los fundiré.
As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
21 Sí, los reuniré y soplaré sobre ustedes con el fuego de mi furor. Serán fundidos.
Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the middle therof.
22 Como la plata se funde en el crisol, serán fundidos en ella. Y sabrán que Yo, Yavé, derramé mi furor sobre ustedes.
As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so shall you be melted in the middle thereof; and you shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury on you.
23 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
24 Hijo de hombre, dí a ella: Eres una tierra no limpiada, ni rociada con lluvia el día de mi furor.
Son of man, say to her, You are the land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation.
25 Hay conspiración de tus profetas dentro de ti, como león rugiente que arrebata presa. Devoraron vidas, arrebataron riqueza y cosas preciosas, y dejaron en ti muchas viudas.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the middle thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the middle thereof.
26 Sus sacerdotes violan mi Ley y contaminan mis cosas santas. No distinguen entre lo santo y lo profano. No enseñan la diferencia entre lo impuro y lo puro. Ocultan sus ojos de mis sábados. De este modo Yo soy profanado por ellos.
Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 Sus magistrados son como lobos que arrebatan la presa, que derraman sangre y destruyen vidas a fin de obtener ganancia deshonesta.
Her princes in the middle thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
28 Al profetizarles vanidad y adivinarles mentira sus profetas cubren con mortero blanco de cal y arena. Les dicen: Así dice ʼAdonay Yavé, cuando Yavé no habló.
And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord GOD, when the LORD has not spoken.
29 El pueblo de la tierra oprime, roba, comete violencia contra el pobre y extorsiona al necesitado y al extranjero.
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yes, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
30 Busqué entre ellos un hombre que levantara un terraplén y que se metiera en la brecha delante de Mí a favor de la tierra para que Yo no la destruya, pero no lo hallé.
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
31 Por tanto derramo sobre ellos mi furor. Los consumo con el ardor de mi ira. Hago caer sus caminos sobre su cabeza, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed on their heads, says the Lord GOD.
