Ezequiel 22
1 Y fue palabra de Jehová a mí, diciendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Y tú, o! hijo del hombre, ¿no juzgarás tú, no juzgarás tú a la ciudad derramadora de la sangre? y le mostrarás todas sus abominaciones.
And you, son of man, will you be a judge, will you be a judge of the town of blood? then make clear to her all her disgusting ways.
3 Y dirás: Así dijo el Señor Jehová: Ciudad derramadora de sangre en medio de sí, para que venga su hora; y que hizo ídolos contra sí misma, para contaminarse.
And you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: A town causing blood to be drained out in her streets so that her time may come, and making images in her to make her unclean!
4 En tu sangre que derramaste, pecaste; y en tus ídolos que hiciste, te contaminaste; y has hecho acercar tus días, y has llegado a tus años: por tanto te he dado en vergüenza a las gentes, y en escarnio a todas las tierras.
You are responsible for the blood drained out by you, and you are unclean through the images which you have made; and you have made your day come near, and the time of your judging has come; for this cause I have made you a name of shame to the nations and a cause of laughing to all countries.
5 Las que están cerca, y las que están lejos de ti, se reirán de ti: sucia te llamarán de nombre, y grande en quebrantamiento.
Those who are near and those who are far from you will make sport of you; your name is unclean, you are full of sounds of fear.
6 He aquí que los príncipes de Israel, cada uno según su poder, fueron en ti para derramar sangre.
See, the rulers of Israel, every one in his family, have been causing death in you.
7 Al padre y a la madre despreciaron en ti: con el extranjero trataron con calumnia en medio de ti: al huérfano y a la viuda despojaron en ti.
In you they have had no respect for father and mother; in you they have been cruel to the man from a strange land; in you they have done wrong to the child without a father and to the widow.
8 Mis santuarios menospreciaste, y mis sábados ensuciaste.
You have made little of my holy things, and have made my Sabbaths unclean.
9 Malsines hubo en ti para derramar sangre; y sobre los montes comieron en ti: hicieron suciedades en medio de ti.
In you there are men who say evil of others, causing death; in you they have taken the flesh with the blood for food; in your streets they have put evil designs into effect.
10 La desnudez del padre descubrieron en ti: la inmunda de menstruo forzaron en ti.
In you they have let the shame of their fathers be seen; in you they have done wrong to a woman at the time when she was unclean.
11 Y cada uno hizo abominación con la mujer de su prójimo; y cada uno contaminó su nuera torpemente; y cada uno forzó en ti a su hermana, hija de su padre.
And in you one man has done what was disgusting with his neighbour's wife; and another has made his daughter-in-law unclean; and another has done wrong to his sister, his father's daughter.
12 Precio recibieron en ti para derramar sangre: usura y logro tomaste; y a tus prójimos defraudaste con violencia: olvidástete de mí, dijo el Señor Jehová.
In you they have taken rewards as the price of blood; you have taken interest and great profits, and you have taken away your neighbours' goods by force, and have not kept me in mind, says the Lord.
13 Y he aquí que herí mi mano a causa de tu avaricia que cometiste, y a causa de tus sangres que fueron en medio de ti.
See, then, I have made my hands come together in wrath against your taking of goods by force and against the blood which has been flowing in you.
14 ¿Estará firme tu corazón? ¿tus manos serán fuertes en los días que yo haré contigo? Yo Jehová hablé, y haré.
Will your heart be high or your hands strong in the days when I take you in hand? I the Lord have said it and will do it.
15 Y yo te esparciré por las gentes, y te aventaré por las tierras, y haré fenecer de ti tu inmundicia.
And I will send you in flight among the nations and wandering among the countries; and I will completely take away out of you everything which is unclean.
16 Y tomarás heredad en ti en los ojos de las gentes, y sabrás que yo soy Jehová.
And you will be made low before the eyes of the nations; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
17 Y fue palabra de Jehová a mí, diciendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 Hijo del hombre, la casa de Israel se me han tornado en escoria; todos ellos como metal, y estaño, e hierro, plomo en medio del horno, escorias de plata se tornaron.
Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.
19 Por tanto así dijo el Señor Jehová: Por cuanto todos vosotros os habéis tornado en escorias, por tanto, he aquí que yo os junto en medio de Jerusalem.
For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.
20 Como quien junta plata, y metal, e hierro, y plomo, y estaño en medio del horno, para encender fuego en él para fundir: así os juntaré en mi furor, y en mi ira; y haré reposar, y fundiros he.
As they put silver and brass and iron and lead and tin together inside the oven, heating up the fire on it to make it soft; so will I get you together in my wrath and in my passion, and, heating the fire with my breath, will make you soft.
21 Yo os juntaré, y soplaré sobre vosotros en el fuego de mi furor; y seréis fundidos en medio de él.
Yes, I will take you, breathing on you the fire of my wrath, and you will become soft in it.
22 Como se funde la plata en medio del horno, así seréis fundidos en medio de él; y sabréis que yo Jehová habré derramado mi enojo sobre vosotros.
As silver becomes soft in the oven, so you will become soft in it; and you will be certain that I the Lord have let loose my passion on you.
23 Y fue palabra de Jehová a mí, diciendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
24 Hijo del hombre, di a ella: Tú, tierra, eres no limpia, ni rociada con lluvia en el día del furor.
Son of man, say to her, You are a land on which no rain or thunderstorm has come in the day of wrath.
25 La conjuración de sus profetas en medio de ella, como león bramando que arrebata presa: tragaron almas, tomaron haciendas y honra, aumentaron sus viudas en medio de ella.
Her rulers in her are like a loud-voiced lion violently taking his food; they have made a meal of souls; they have taken wealth and valued property; they have made great the number of widows in her.
26 Sus sacerdotes hurtaron mi ley, y contaminaron mis santuarios: entre santo y profano no hicieron diferencia, ni entre inmundo y limpio hicieron diferencia, y de mis sábados escondieron sus ojos, y yo era profanado en medio de ellos.
Her priests have been acting violently against my law; they have made my holy things unclean: they have made no division between what is holy and what is common, and they have not made it clear that the unclean is different from the clean, and their eyes have been shut to my Sabbaths, and I am not honoured among them.
27 Sus príncipes en medio de ella, como lobos que arrebatan presa, derramando sangre, para destruir las almas, para seguir la avaricia.
Her rulers in her are like wolves violently taking their food; putting men to death and causing the destruction of souls, so that they may get their profit.
28 Y sus profetas los embarraban con lodo suelto, profetizándoles vanidad, y adivinándoles mentira, diciendo: Así dijo el Señor Jehová: y Jehová no había hablado.
And her prophets have been using whitewash, seeing foolish visions and making false use of secret arts, saying, This is what the Lord has said, when the Lord has said nothing.
29 El pueblo de la tierra oprimía de opresión, y robaba robo; y al afligido y menesteroso hacían violencia, y al extranjero oprimían sin derecho.
The people of the land have been acting cruelly, taking men's goods by force; they have been hard on the poor and those in need, and have done wrong to the man from a strange land.
30 Y busqué de ellos hombre que hiciese vallado, y que se pusiese al portillo delante de mí por la tierra, para que yo no la destruyese, y no lo hallé.
And I was looking for a man among them who would make up the wall and take his station in the broken place before me for the land, so that I might not send destruction on it: but there was no one.
31 Por tanto derramé sobre ellos mi ira, con el fuego de mi ira los consumí; y di el camino de ellos sobre su cabeza, dijo el Señor Jehová.
And I let loose my passion on them, and have put an end to them in the fire of my wrath: I have made the punishment of their ways come on their heads, says the Lord.
