Ezequiel 16

1 Y vino a mí la palabra deL Señor, diciendo:

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

2 Hijo del hombre, deja en claro a Jerusalén sus caminos asquerosos.

Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,

3 Y di: Esto es lo que el Señor Dios ha dicho a Jerusalén: Tu comienzo y tu nacimiento fue en la tierra de los cananeos; un amorreo era tu padre y tu madre una hitita.

And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.

4 En cuanto a tu nacimiento, el día de tu nacimiento no se cortó el cordón ni se lavó con agua para limpiarlo; ni te frotaron con sal, ni te fajaron.

As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.

5 Ningún ojo tuvo piedad de ti por hacerte ninguna de estas cosas o por ser amable contigo; pero fuiste expulsada al campo abierto, porque tu vida fue odiada en el momento de tu nacimiento.

No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.

6 Y cuando pasé junto a ti y te vi tirada en tu sangre, te dije: Aunque estés en tu sangre, Vive; Dije! Si, ¡ Aunque estés en tu sangre: Vive!

And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;

7 Y aumentará en número como los brotes del campo; y aumentaste y te hiciste grande, y llegaste a la época del amor: tus pechos se formaron y tu cabello era largo; pero fuiste desnuda y sin ropa.

And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.

8 Ahora, cuando pasé junto a ti, mirándote, vi que tu tiempo era el tiempo del amor; y puse mis faldas sobre ti, cubriendo tu cuerpo desnudo, y te hice mi juramento e hice un acuerdo contigo, dice el Señor Dios, y te hiciste mía.

Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.

9 Luego te hice lavar con agua, lavando toda tu sangre y te ungí con aceite.

Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.

10 Y te hice vestir con bordados, y te puse zapatos de cuero, te ceñí de lino fino y te vestí de seda.

And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.

11 Y te hice hermosa con adornos, y te puse joyas en las manos y una cadena en el cuello.

And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.

12 Y puse un anillo en tu nariz y aretes en tus oídos y una hermosa corona en tu cabeza.

And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Así te hiciste hermosa con oro y plata; y tu ropa era de la mejor ropa de lino y seda y bordados; Tu comida fue la mejor comida y miel y aceite, y eras muy hermosa, prosperaste extremadamente hasta reinar.

So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.

14 Eras tan hermosa que tu historia se extendió a todas las naciones; Eras completamente hermosa por mi gloria que te había puesto, dice el Señor.

You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.

15 Pero confías en el hecho de que eras hermosa, actuando como una mujer prostituta, a causa de tu fama y ofreciendo tu amor barato a todos los que pasaron, sin importar quién fuera.

But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.

16 Y tomaste tus ropas y te colocaste en lugares altos adornados con todos los colores, actuando como una prostituta sobre ellos, sin vergüenza ni miedo.

And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.

17 Y tomaste las bellas joyas, mi plata y oro que te había dado, y te hiciste imágenes masculinas, actuando como una prostituta con ellas;

And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;

18 Y tomaste tu túnica de bordados para su ropa, y pones mi aceite y mi perfume delante de ellos.

And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.

19 Y mi pan que te di, la mejor comida, el aceite y la miel que te di para tu comida, lo pones delante de ellos para un dulce olor, dice el Señor.

And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.

20 Y tomaste a tus hijos y a tus hijas que tuve contigo, ofreciéndoles incluso esto para que sean su alimento. ¿Eran tus fornicaciones poca cosa?

And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,

21 ¿Que mataste a mis hijos y los entregaste para que pasaran por el fuego?

That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?

22 Y en toda tu asquerosa y falsa conducta no recordaste tus primeros días, cuando estabas desnuda y sin ropa, tirada en tu sangre.

And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.

23 Y sucedió que, después de todo tu maldad, Hay! Hay! De ti dice el Señor Dios:

And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,

24 Que te hiciste un santuario y un altar cada plaza.

That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.

25 Colocaste tus lugares altos en la parte superior de cada calle, e hiciste de la gracia de tu forma algo asqueroso, abriendo tus pies a todos los que pasaban, aumentando tu prostitución.

You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.

26 Y fuiste con los egipcios, tus vecinos, de cuerpos robustos; Incrementando tus fornicaciones, moviéndome a la ira.

And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.

27 Ahora, entonces, mi mano se extiende contra ti, reduciendo tu provisión, y te he entregado al deseo de tus enemigos, las hijas de los filisteos que se avergüenzan de tus fornicaciones.

Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.

28 Y fuiste con los asirios, debido a tu deseo que no tenía medida; Estabas actuando como una prostituta con ellos, y aún así no tenías suficiente.

And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.

29 Y seguiste con tus fornicaciones hasta la tierra de Caldea, y aún no tenías suficiente.

And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.

30 Qué enfermo es tu corazón, dice el Señor, al ver que haces todas estas cosas, el trabajo de una prostituta autoritaria;

How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;

31 Porque has hecho tu santuario en la parte superior de cada calle, y tu altar en cada plaza; al despreciar la paga, no eras como la prostituta.

For you have made your arched room at the top of every street, and your high place in every open place; though you were not like a loose woman in getting together your payment.

32 ¡Sino como la mujer adúltera, que toma extraños amantes en lugar de su esposo!

The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!

33 Se paga a todas las prostitutas, pero tú das recompensas a tus amantes, ofreciéndoles un pago para que puedan llegar a ti de todas partes por tus prostituciones.

They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.

34 Y en tu prostitución eres diferente de otras mujeres, porque nadie te persigue para hacerte el amor; porque les pagas a ellos, ellos no te pagan a ti, en esto eres diferente de ellas.

And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.

35 Por esta causa, oh mujer ramera, oye la voz del Señor:

For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:

36 Esto es lo que el Señor Dios ha dicho: Porque tu comportamiento inmundo se desató y tu cuerpo se descubrió en tu prostitución con tus amantes y con tus repugnantes imágenes, y por la sangre de tus hijos que les diste en sacrificio;

This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;

37 Por esta causa reuniré a todos tus amantes con quienes te has complacido, y a todos aquellos a quienes les has dado tu amor, con todos los que fueron odiados por ti; incluso haré que se junten contra ti por todos lados, y te haré descubrir ante ellos para que puedan ver tu vergüenza.

For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.

38 Y serás juzgada por mí como las mujeres que son juzgadas como adúlteras, y las mujeres que derraman sangre; Y voy a soltar contra ti sangre y furor de celo.

And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.

39 Te entregaré en sus manos, y tu santuario será derribado y tus lugares altos destruidos; te quitarán la ropa y te quitarán tus bellas joyas; y cuando hayan terminado, serás descubierta y desnuda.

I will give you into their hands, and your arched room will be overturned and your high places broken down; they will take your clothing off you and take away your fair jewels: and when they have done, you will be uncovered and shamed.

40 Y se reunirán contra ti una multitud, te apedrearán y te herirán con sus espadas.

And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.

41 Y te quemarán tus casas, y te castigarán ante los ojos de gran número de mujeres; y pondré fin a tus prostituciones, y ya no pagarás a tus amantes.

And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.

42 Y el furor de mi ira contra ti tendrá fin, y mi celo se alejará de ti, y estaré callado y no estaré enojado más.

And the heat of my wrath against you will have an end, and my bitter feeling will be turned away from you, and I will be quiet and will be angry no longer.

43 Porque no has tenido en cuenta los días en que eras joven, pero me has estado perturbando con todas estas cosas; por esta razón haré que el castigo de tus acciones llegue a tu cabeza, dice el Señor Dios, porque has hecho esto malo además de todos tus actos repugnantes.

Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.

44 Mira, en cada dicho común sobre ti se dirá: Como la madre es, también lo es su hija.

See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.

45 Eres la hija de tu madre, cuya alma aborreció a su marido y a sus hijos; y tú eres la hermana de tus hermanas que aborrecieron sus esposos y sus hijos; tu madre era hitita y tu padre amorreo.

You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

46 Tu hermana mayor es Samaria, que vive a tu izquierda, ella y sus hijas: y tu hermana menor, que vive a tu derecha, es Sodoma y sus hijas.

Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

47 Aún no has andado en sus caminos o has hecho las cosas repugnantes que han hecho; pero, como si eso fuera solo una pequeña cosa, has profundizado más en el mal que ellos en todos tus caminos.

Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.

48 Por mi vida, dice el Señor, Sodoma que tu hermana nunca hizo, ella o sus hijas, lo que tú y tus hijas han hecho.

By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.

49 En verdad, este fue el pecado de tu hermana Sodoma: el orgullo, una gran cantidad de comida y abundancia de ociosidad, se vieron en ella y sus hijas, y ella no brindó ayuda a los pobres ni a los demás en necesidad.

Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.

50 Estaban llenos de orgullo e hicieron lo que me repugnaba; y cuando lo vi, las aparte.

They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.

51 Y Samaria no ha cometido la mitad de tus pecados; pero has hecho que el número de tus actos repugnantes sea mayor que el de ellas, haciendo que tus hermanas parezcan más rectas que tú por todas las cosas repugnantes que has hecho.

And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.

52 Tú también, lleva tu vergüenza en tus pecados, juzgado a tus hermanas; a través de tus pecados que hiciste; son más asquerosos que los de ellas, son más rectas que tú; en verdad, serás avergonzada y abatida, porque has hecho que tus hermanas parezcan más justas.

And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.

53 Y dejaré que se vuelvan los cautivos, los cautivos de Sodoma y sus hijas, los cautivos de Samaria y sus hijas, y haré volver los cautivos de cautiverio entre ellas.

And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.

54 Para que lleves tu confusión y te avergüences por todo lo que has hecho, siendo tú motivo de consuelo.

So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.

55 Y sus hermanas, Sodoma y sus hijas, volverán a su primera condición, y Samaria y sus hijas volverán a su primera condición, y tu y tus hijas volverán a su primera condición.

And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.

56 ¿No fue tu hermana Sodoma un juramento en tu boca en el día de tu orgullo,

Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,

57 ¿Antes de que tu vergüenza fuera descubierta? Ahora te has vuelto como ella, una palabra de vergüenza para las hijas de Edom y todos los que te rodean, las hijas de los filisteos que te desprecian.

Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.

58 La recompensa de tus malvados propósitos y tus asquerosos caminos ha llegado a ti, dice el Señor.

The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.

59 Porque esto es lo que el Señor ha dicho: te haré como tú lo has hecho, tú que, haciendo el juramento a un lado, has dejado que se rompa el pacto.

For this is what the Lord has said: I will do to you as you have done, you who, putting the oath on one side, have let the agreement be broken.

60 Pero aún así tendré en mente el acuerdo hecho contigo en los días en que eras joven, y haré contigo un pacto eterno.

But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.

61 Entonces, al recordar tus caminos, te verás superado por la vergüenza, cuando recibas a tus hermanas, las mayores y las más jóvenes, y te las entregue por hijas, pero no por tu pacto.

Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.

62 Y haré mi pacto contigo; y sabrás que yo soy el Señor Dios.

And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:

63 Para que, en el recuerdo de estas cosas, te avergüences, nunca abras la boca por tu vergüenza; Cuando tengas mi perdón por todo lo que has hecho, dice el Señor Dios.

So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.
