Ezequiel 12
1 Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 Hijo del hombre, tú habitas en medio de casa rebelde, los cuales tienen ojos para ver, y no ven, tienen oídos para oir, y no oyen; porque son casa rebelde.
“You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn people.
3 Por tanto tú, hijo del hombre, hazte aparejos de marcha, y pártete de día delante de sus ojos; y te pasarás de tu lugar á otro lugar á vista de ellos, por si tal vez atienden, porque son casa rebelde.
Therefore, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].
4 Y sacarás tus aparejos, como aparejos de partida, de día delante de sus ojos: mas tú saldrás por la tarde á vista de ellos, como quien sale para partirse.
During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.
5 Delante de sus ojos horadarás la pared, y saldrás por ella.
Dig through [city] wall and take your things through the hole.
6 Delante de sus ojos los llevarás sobre tus hombros, de noche los sacarás; cubrirás tu rostro, y no mirarás la tierra: porque en señal te he dado á la casa de Israel.
Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”
7 Y yo hice así como me fué mandado: saqué mis aparejos de día, como aparejos de partida, y á la tarde horadé la pared á mano; salí de noche, y llevélos sobre los hombros á vista de ellos.
[So] I did what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.
8 Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová por la mañana, diciendo:
The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
9 Hijo del hombre, ¿no te ha dicho la casa de Israel, aquella casa rebelde: ¿Qué haces?
“You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 Diles: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Al príncipe en Jerusalem es esta carga, y á toda la casa de Israel que está en medio de ellos.
[So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’
11 Diles: Yo soy vuestra señal: como yo hice, así les harán á ellos: al pasar á otro país irán en cautiverio.
Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.
12 Y al príncipe que está en medio de ellos llevarán á cuestas de noche, y saldrán; horadarán la pared para sacarlo por ella; cubrirá su rostro para no ver con sus ojos la tierra.
Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.
13 Mas yo extenderé mi red sobre él, y será preso en mi malla, y harélo llevar á Babilonia, á tierra de Caldeos; mas no la verá, y allá morirá.
[it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.
14 Y á todos los que estuvieren alrededor de él para su ayuda, y á todas sus compañías esparciré á todo viento, y desenvainaré espada en pos de ellos.
I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.
15 Y sabrán que yo soy Jehová, cuando los esparciere entre las gentes, y los derramare por la tierra.
Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
16 Y haré que de ellos queden pocos en número, del cuchillo, y del hambre, y de la pestilencia, para que cuenten todas sus abominaciones entre las gentes adonde llegaren; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.
But I will spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
17 Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
18 Hijo del hombre, come tu pan con temblor, y bebe tu agua con estremecimiento y con anhelo;
“You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while you drink your water.
19 Y dirás al pueblo de la tierra: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová sobre los moradores de Jerusalem, y sobre la tierra de Israel: Su pan comerán con temor, y con espanto beberán su agua; porque su tierra será asolada de su multitud, por la maldad de todos los que en ella moran.
Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.
20 Y las ciudades habitadas serán asoladas, y la tierra será desierta; y sabréis que yo soy Jehová.
The towns where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
21 Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
22 Hijo del hombre, ¿qué refrán es este que tenéis vosotros en la tierra de Israel, diciendo: Prolongarse han los días, y perecerá toda visión?
“You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
23 Diles por tanto: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Haré cesar este refrán, y no repetirán más este dicho en Israel. Diles pues: Se han acercado aquellos días, y la palabra de toda visión.
So say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.
24 Porque no habrá más alguna visión vana, ni habrá adivinación de lisonjeros en medio de la casa de Israel.
No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
25 Porque yo Jehová hablaré; cumpliráse la palabra que yo hablaré; no se dilatará más: antes en vuestros días, oh casa rebelde, hablaré palabra, y cumpliréla, dice el Señor Jehová.
Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”
26 Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
27 Hijo del hombre, he aquí que los de la casa de Israel dicen: La visión que éste ve es para muchos días, y para lejanos tiempos profetiza éste.
“You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the future.’
28 Diles por tanto: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: No se dilatarán más todas mis palabras: cumpliráse la palabra que yo hablaré, dice el Señor Jehová.
Therefore say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”
