< Ezequiel 32 >
1 Y aconteció en el año duodécimo, en el mes duodécimo, al primero del mes, que fue palabra de Jehová a mí, diciendo:
Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Hijo del hombre, levanta endechas sobre Faraón, rey de Egipto, y díle: A leoncillo de naciones eres semejante, y eres como la ballena en las mares: que sacabas tus ríos, y enturbiabas las aguas con tus pies, y hollabas sus riberas.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
3 Así dijo el Señor Jehová: Yo extenderé sobre ti mi red con congregación de muchos pueblos, y hacerte han subir con mi red.
But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
4 Y te dejaré en tierra: yo te echaré sobre la haz del campo, y haré que se asienten sobre ti todas las aves del cielo, y hartaré de ti las bestias de toda la tierra.
They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
5 Y pondré tus carnes sobre los montes, y henchiré los valles de tu altura.
I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
6 Y regaré la tierra donde tu nadas de tu sangre, hasta los montes, y los arroyos se henchirán de ti.
I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
7 Y cuando te mataré cubriré los cielos; y haré entenebrecer sus estrellas: el sol cubriré con nublado, y la luna no hará resplandecer su luz.
When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
8 Todas las lumbreras de luz haré entenebrecer en el cielo por ti, y pondré tinieblas sobre tu tierra, dijo el Señor Jehová.
I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
9 Y entristeceré el corazón de muchos pueblos, cuando llevaré en las naciones tu quebrantamiento, por las tierras que no conociste.
And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
10 Y haré atónitos sobre ti muchos pueblos; y sus reyes sobre ti tendrán horror grande, cuando haré resplandecer mi espada delante de sus rostros, y todos se despavorirán en sus ánimos a cada momento en el día de tu caída.
I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
11 Porque así dijo el Señor Jehová: La espada del rey de Babilonia te vendrá.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
12 A espadas de fuertes haré caer tu pueblo, todos ellos serán los fuertes de las naciones; y destruirán la soberbia de Egipto, y toda su multitud será deshecha.
I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
13 Todas sus bestias destruiré de sobre las muchas aguas; ni más las enturbiará pie de hombre, ni uñas de bestias las enturbiarán.
I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
14 Entonces haré hundir sus aguas, y haré ir sus ríos como aceite, dijo el Señor Jehová.
Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
15 Cuando asolaré la tierra de Egipto, y la tierra fuere asolada de su plenitud, cuando heriré a todos los que en ella moran, sabrán que yo soy Jehová.
When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
16 Esta es la endecha, y cantarla han: las hijas de las naciones la cantarán: endecharán sobre Egipto, y sobre toda su multitud, dijo el Señor Jehová.
That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
17 Y aconteció en el año duodécimo, a los quince del mes, que fue palabra de Jehová a mí, diciendo:
On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
18 Hijo del hombre, endecha sobre la multitud de Egipto; y despéñale a él, y a las villas de las naciones fuertes, en la tierra de los profundos, con los que descienden a la sepultura.
“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
19 Porque eres tan hermoso, desciende, y yace con los incircuncisos.
Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
20 Entre los muertos a espada caerán: a la espada es entregado: traédle a él, y a todos sus pueblos.
[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
21 Hablarán a él los fuertes de los fuertes de en medio del infierno, con los que le ayudaron, que descendieron, y yacieron con los incircuncisos muertos a cuchillo. (Sheol )
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol )
22 Allí el Assur con toda su multitud: sus sepulcros estarán en sus al derredores, todos ellos muertos a cuchillo.
[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
23 Sus sepulcros fueron puestos a los lados del sepulcro, y su multitud está por los al derredores de su sepulcro: todos ellos cayeron muertos a cuchillo los cuales pusieron miedo en la tierra de los vivientes.
The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
24 Allí Elam y toda su multitud por los al derredores de su sepulcro: todos ellos cayeron muertos a cuchillo, los cuales descendieron incircuncisos a la tierra de los profundos, que pusieron su temor en la tierra de los vivientes, y llevaron su vergüenza con los que descienden al sepulcro.
A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
25 En medio de los muertos le pusieron cama con toda su multitud, por sus al derredores sus sepulcros: todos ellos incircuncisos muertos a cuchillo, porque fue puesto su espanto en la tierra de los vivientes, y llevaron su vergüenza con los que descienden al sepulcro: en medio de los muertos fue puesto.
They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
26 Allí Mesec y Tubal, y toda su multitud, sus sepulcros en sus al derredores: todos ellos incircuncisos muertos a cuchillo, porque dieron su temor en la tierra de los vivientes.
[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
27 Y no yacerán con los fuertes que cayeron de los incircuncisos, los cuales descendieron al infierno con sus armas de guerra, y pusieron sus espadas debajo de sus cabezas: mas sus pecados estarán sobre sus huesos; porque fueron terror de fuertes en la tierra de los vivientes. (Sheol )
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol )
28 Mas tú entre los incircuncisos serás quebrantado, y yacerás con los muertos a cuchillo.
You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
29 Allí Idumea, sus reyes, y todos sus príncipes, los cuales con su fortaleza fueron puestos con los muertos a cuchillo; ellos yacerán con los incircuncisos, y con los que descienden al sepulcro.
People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
30 Allí los príncipes del aquilón, todos ellos, y todos los de Sidón, que con su terror descendieron con los muertos, avergonzados de su fortaleza, también yacieron incircuncisos con los muertos a cuchillo; y llevaron su vergüenza con los que descienden al sepulcro.
All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
31 A estos verá Faraón, y consolarse ha sobre toda su multitud: muerto a cuchillo Faraón, y todo su ejército, dijo el Señor Jehová.
The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
32 Porque yo puse mi terror en la tierra de los vivientes, también yacerá entre los incircuncisos con los muertos a cuchillo, Faraón y toda su multitud, dijo el Señor Jehová.
While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
