Ezequiel 7

1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 Y tú, hijo de hombre, dí: ʼAdonay Yavé dice a la tierra de Israel: El fin viene. El fin viene sobre los cuatro puntos cardinales de la tierra.

“And as for you, son of man: Thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: The end is coming, the end is coming, over the four regions of the earth.

3 Ahora viene el fin sobre ti. Lanzaré mi furor contra ti. Te juzgaré según tus caminos y traeré sobre ti todas tus repugnancias.

Now the end is over you, and I will send my fury upon you. And I will judge you according to your ways. And I will place all your abominations before you.

4 Mi ojo no tendrá compasión de ti, ni te perdonará. Traeré tus caminos y tus repugnancias sobre ti. Y sabrás que Yo soy Yavé.

And my eye will not be lenient over you, and I will not take pity. Instead, I will set your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”

5 ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ciertamente viene un desastre, un gran desastre.

Thus says the Lord God: “One affliction, behold, one affliction is approaching.

6 ¡El fin viene! ¡Vino el fin! Despertó contra ti. ¡Ciertamente viene!

The end is coming, the end is coming. It has been vigilant against you. Behold, it is approaching.

7 Tu juicio vino a ti, oh habitante de la tierra. Vino el tiempo. El día está cerca. [Habrá] tumulto en vez de grito de júbilo sobre las montañas.

Destruction is coming over you, who live upon the earth. The time is approaching, the day of slaughter is near, and it is not of the glory of the mountains.

8 Pronto derramaré mi ira sobre ti y desahogaré mi furor contra ti. Te juzgaré según tus caminos y traeré sobre ti todas tus repugnancias.

Now, very soon, I will pour out my wrath upon you, and I will fulfill my fury in you. And I will judge you according to your ways, and I will set upon you all your crimes.

9 Mi ojo no perdonará, ni tendré compasión. Te recompensaré según tus caminos y traeré sobre ti todas tus repugnancias. Y sabrán que Yo, Yavé, soy Quien castiga.

And my eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. Instead, I will place your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, who is striking.

10 Aquí está el día. Mira, te viene. Salió tu turno. Florece la vara, reverdece la arrogancia.

Behold, the day! Behold, it approaches! Destruction has gone forth, the rod has blossomed, arrogance has germinated.

11 La violencia crece hasta convertirse en cetro de perversidad. Ninguno de ellos quedará, nada de su abundancia ni de su riqueza. No habrá preeminencia entre ellos ni lamento por ellos.

Iniquity has risen up into a rod of impiety. There shall be nothing left of them, and of their people, and of the sound of them. And there shall be no rest for them.

12 Viene el día. El día vino. El que compra no se alegre, y el que venda no lamente, porque el furor es contra toda su multitud.

The time is approaching; the day is very near. Whoever buys should not rejoice. And whoever sells should not mourn. For wrath is over all of their people.

13 Porque el vendedor no recuperará lo que vendió mientras ambos vivan, pues la ira está contra toda su multitud. No regresará ni se fortalecerá el que vive en iniquidad.

For whoever sells will not return to what he has sold, but as yet their life will be among the living. For the vision concerning their entire multitude will not turn back. And man will not be strengthened in the iniquity of his life.

14 Tocan la trompeta y alistan todo, pero nadie va a la batalla, porque mi furor está contra toda la multitud de ellos.

Sound the trumpet! Let everyone be prepared! And yet there is no one who may go to battle. For my wrath is over all their people.

15 Afuera la espada, adentro la pestilencia y el hambre. El que esté en el campo morirá a espada, y el que esté adentro de pestilencia y hambre.

The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine are inside. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword. And whoever is in the city will be devoured by the pestilence and the famine.

16 Los que escapen huirán a las montañas, como las palomas de los valles. Gimen todos, cada uno por su iniquidad.

And those who flee from among them will be saved. And they will be among the mountains, like doves in steep valleys, with every one of them trembling, each one because of his iniquity.

17 Toda mano se debilitará y toda rodilla se escurrirá como agua.

All hands will be weakened, and all knees will flow with water.

18 Se atarán tela áspera a la cintura. Se cubrirán de terror. En toda cara habrá vergüenza y toda cabeza estará rapada.

And they will wrap themselves with haircloth, and dread will cover them. And shame will be upon every face, and baldness will be upon all of their heads.

19 Tirarán su plata a las calles y su oro será desechado. Ni su oro ni su plata podrán librarlos el día del furor de Yavé, porque eso fue su tropiezo para su iniquidad.

Their silver will be thrown away, and their gold will be like a dunghill. Their silver and their gold will have no power to free them in the day of the fury of the Lord. They will not satisfy their soul, and their bellies will not be filled, because of the scandal of their iniquity.

20 Convirtieron la belleza de sus joyas en las imágenes repugnantes de sus ídolos detestables. Por eso Yo los convertiré en cosa repugnante para ellos.

And they have set arrogance as the ornament of their necklaces, and they have made images of their abominations and graven idols. Because of this, I have let it be an uncleanness for them.

21 Los entregaré como botín en mano de extranjeros, como despojo a los perversos de la tierra. Ellos los contaminarán.

And I will give it into the hands of foreigners as a spoil, and to the impious of the earth as a prey, and they will defile it.

22 Apartaré de ellos mi rostro. Será profanado mi Lugar Secreto. Entrarán los invasores y lo profanarán.

And I will avert my face from them, and they will violate my place of mystery. And untamed persons will enter into it, and they will defile it.

23 Prepara la cadena. La tierra está llena de crímenes sangrientos y la ciudad llena de violencia.

Cause it to be closed. For the land has been filled with the judgment of blood, and the city is full of iniquity.

24 Por tanto Yo traeré al peor de los pueblos. Ellos poseerán sus casas. Daré fin al orgullo de los poderosos. Sus cosas sagradas serán profanadas.

And I will lead in the most sinful among the Gentiles, and they will possess their houses. And I will cause the arrogance of the powerful to be quieted. And they will possess their sanctuaries.

25 Cuando llegue la angustia, buscarán la paz, pero no la habrá.

When anguish overwhelms them, they will seek peace, and there will be none.

26 Vendrá desastre sobre desastre, y rumor tras rumor. Buscarán una visión de un profeta. Pero la Ley estará lejos del sacerdote, y el consejo de los ancianos.

Disturbance will follow after disturbance, and rumor after rumor. And they will seek the vision of the prophet, and the law will perish from the priest, and counsel will perish from the elders.

27 El rey lamentará y los magistrados se cubrirán de horror. Temblarán las manos del pueblo de la tierra. Los trataré según su conducta. Los juzgaré según sus juicios. Y sabrán que Yo soy Yavé.

The king will mourn, and the prince will be clothed with grief, and the hands of the people of the earth will be greatly disturbed. I will act toward them in accord with their own way, and I will judge them in accord with their own judgments. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
