Ezequiel 28
1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Hijo de hombre, dí al rey de Tiro: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Porque se enalteció tu corazón y dijiste: Yo soy ʼEL y estoy sentado en el trono de ʼElohim en medio de los mares. Pero tú eres hombre y no ʼEL. Aunque pusiste tu corazón como el corazón de ʼElohim,
“Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted, and you have said, ‘I am God, and I sit in the chair of God, in the heart of the sea,’ though you are a man, and not God, and because you have presented your heart as if it were the heart of God:
3 ciertamente eres más sabio que Daniel, y ningún misterio te es oculto.
Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is concealed from you.
4 Adquiriste riquezas con tu habilidad e inteligencia. Acumulaste oro y plata en tus tesoros
By your wisdom and prudence, you have made yourself strong, and you have acquired gold and silver for your storehouses.
5 con tu gran sabiduría. Por tu comercio, aumentaste tus riquezas, y tu corazón está enaltecido a causa de éstas.
By the multitude of your wisdom, and by your business dealings, you have multiplied strength for yourself. And your heart has been exalted by your strength.
6 Por tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Por cuanto comparaste tu corazón con el corazón de ʼElohim,
Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because your heart has been exalted as if it were the heart of God,
7 ciertamente Yo traigo contra ti extranjeros, los más terribles de las naciones, que desenvainarán sus espadas contra la hermosura de tu sabiduría y contaminarán tu esplendor.
for this reason, behold, I will lead over you foreigners, the most robust among the Gentiles. And they will bare their swords over the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your beauty.
8 Te harán descender al sepulcro. Morirás con la muerte de los traspasados en medio de los mares.
They will destroy you and pull you down. And you will die the death of those slain in the heart of the sea.
9 ¿Le dirás al que te mata: Yo soy ʼElohim, aunque eres hombre en manos de tu asesino y no ʼElohim?
So then, will you speak, in the presence of those who are destroying you, before the hand of those who are killing you, saying, ‘I am God,’ though you are a man, and not God?
10 Morirás con la muerte de incircuncisos por mano de extranjeros, porque Yo hablé, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hand of foreigners. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.”
11 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre,
12 Hijo de hombre, haz lamentación sobre el rey de Tiro: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: ¡Tú eras el sello de la perfección, lleno de sabiduría, perfecto en hermosura!
and you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord God: You were the seal of similitudes, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 Estuviste en Edén, el huerto de ʼElohim. Tu ropa era de toda piedra preciosa: de rubí, topacio, jaspe, crisólito, berilo, ónice, zafiro, diamante, esmeralda y oro. Los primores de tus panderos y flautas estuvieron preparados para ti el día de tu creación.
You were with the delights of the Paradise of God. Every precious stone was your covering: sardius, topaz, and jasper, chrysolite, and onyx, and beryl, sapphire, and garnet, and emerald. The work of your beauty was of gold, and your fissures were ready in the day when you were formed.
14 Tú fuiste el querubín ungido, protector. Yo te puse allí en la Santa Montaña de ʼElohim. Te paseabas en medio de las piedras de fuego.
You were a cherub, stretched out and protecting, and I stationed you on the holy mountain of God. You have walked in the midst of stones containing fire.
15 Perfecto eras en todos tus caminos desde el día cuando fuiste creado hasta cuando se halló en ti injusticia.
You were perfect in your ways, from the day of your formation, until iniquity was found in you.
16 A causa de la multitud de tus contrataciones te llenaste de iniquidad y pecaste. Por tanto Yo te eché de la Montaña de ʼElohim, y te saqué de en medio de las piedras de fuego, oh querubín protector.
By the multitude of your business dealings, your interior was filled with iniquity, and you sinned. And I cast you away from the mountain of God, and I perished you, O protecting cherub, from the midst of the stones containing fire.
17 Se enalteció tu corazón a causa de tu hermosura. Corrompiste tu sabiduría por tu esplendor. Yo te echo a la tierra. Te pondré como espectáculo delante de los reyes.
And your heart was exalted by your beauty; you have destroyed your own wisdom by your beauty. I have cast you to the ground. I have presented you before the face of kings, so that they may examine you.
18 Profanaste tu santuario con la multitud de tus iniquidades y la deshonestidad de tus contrataciones. Yo, pues, encendí fuego dentro de ti para que te consuma. Te reduzco a ceniza sobre la tierra ante los ojos de todos los que te observan.
You have defiled your sanctuaries, by the multitude of your iniquities and by the iniquity of your business dealings. Therefore, I will produce a fire from your midst, which will consume you, and I will make you into ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all who are watching you.
19 Todos los que te conocen entre los pueblos están asombrados con respecto a ti. Eres objeto de espanto. Para siempre dejarás de ser.
All who gaze upon you among the Gentiles will be stupefied over you. You were made out of nothing, and you shall not be, forever.”
20 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 Hijo de hombre, levanta tu rostro hacia Sidón y profetiza contra ella:
“Son of man, set your face against Sidon, and you shall prophesy about it.
22 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Oh Sidón, ciertamente Yo estoy contra ti. Seré glorificado en ti. Cuando ejecute juicios y manifieste mi santidad en ella, sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, Sidon, and I will be glorified in your midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have executed judgments in her, and when I will have been sanctified in her.
23 Enviaré pestilencia y sangre a sus calles. Los muertos a espada caerán por todos lados. Entonces sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
And I will send a pestilence upon her, and there will be blood in her streets. And they will fall, slain by the sword, on every side in her midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 Nunca más será espina desgarrante para la Casa de Israel, ni aguijón que cause dolor en medio de todos los que la rodean y la desprecian. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
And the house of Israel will no longer be a stumbling block of bitterness, nor a thorn bringing pain everywhere around them, to those who turn against them. And they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
25 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Cuando Yo reúna a la Casa de Israel de los pueblos entre los cuales está esparcida, y me santifique en ellos a la vista de las naciones, habitarán en su tierra que di a mi esclavo Jacob.
Thus says the Lord God: “When I will have gathered together the house of Israel, from the peoples among whom they have been dispersed, I shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the Gentiles. And they shall live in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Vivirán confiadamente en ella. Edificarán casas, plantarán viñas y vivirán con seguridad cuando Yo ejecute juicios contra todos aquellos que los despojan en sus alrededores. Y sabrán que Yo, Yavé, soy su ʼElohim.
And they shall live within it securely. And they shall build houses and plant vineyards. And they shall live in confidence, when I will have executed judgments upon all those who turn against them on every side. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God.”
