Ezequiel 28
1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
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,
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 ciertamente eres más sabio que Daniel, y ningún misterio te es oculto.
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 Adquiriste riquezas con tu habilidad e inteligencia. Acumulaste oro y plata en tus tesoros
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 con tu gran sabiduría. Por tu comercio, aumentaste tus riquezas, y tu corazón está enaltecido a causa de éstas.
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 Por tanto ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Por cuanto comparaste tu corazón con el corazón de ʼElohim,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a 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.
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 Te harán descender al sepulcro. Morirás con la muerte de los traspasados en medio de los mares.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
9 ¿Le dirás al que te mata: Yo soy ʼElohim, aunque eres hombre en manos de tu asesino y no ʼElohim?
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 Morirás con la muerte de incircuncisos por mano de extranjeros, porque Yo hablé, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
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!
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
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 [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
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.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Perfecto eras en todos tus caminos desde el día cuando fuiste creado hasta cuando se halló en ti injusticia.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
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.
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
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.
You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at 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.
By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
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 the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 Hijo de hombre, levanta tu rostro hacia Sidón y profetiza contra ella:
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to 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.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 Enviaré pestilencia y sangre a sus calles. Los muertos a espada caerán por todos lados. Entonces sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.
I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
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.
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
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.
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
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.
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
