Ezequiel, 16

1. La palabra de Yahveh me fue dirigida en estos términos:

1. Again the word of the LORD came to me:

2. Hijo de hombre, haz saber a Jerusalén sus abominaciones.

2. "Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations,

3. Dirás: Así dice el Señor Yahveh a Jerusalén: Por tu origen y tu nacimiento eres del país de Canaán. Tu padre era amorreo y tu madre hitita.

3. and say, Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite, and your mother a Hittite.

4. Cuando naciste, el día en que viniste al mundo, no se te cortó el cordón, no se te lavó con agua para limpiarte, no se te frotó con sal, ni se te envolvió en pañales.

4. And as for your birth, on the day you were born your navel string was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt, nor swathed with bands.

5. Ningún ojo se apiadó de ti para brindarte alguno de estos menesteres, por compasión a ti. Quedaste expuesta en pleno campo, porque dabas repugnancia, el día en que viniste al mundo.

5. No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you; but you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, on the day that you were born.

6. Yo pasé junto a ti y te vi agitándote en tu sangre. Y te dije, cuando estabas en tu sangre: «Vive»,

6. "And when I passed by you, and saw you weltering in your blood, I said to you in your blood, `Live,

7. y te hice crecer como la hierba de los campos. Tú creciste, te desarrollaste, y llegaste a la edad núbil. Se formaron tus senos, tu cabellera creció; pero estabas completamente desnuda.

7. and grow up like a plant of the field.' And you grew up and became tall and arrived at full maidenhood; your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet you were naked and bare.

8. Entonces pasé yo junto a ti y te vi. Era tu tiempo, el tiempo de los amores. Extendí sobre ti el borde de mi manto y cubrí tu desnudez; me comprometí con juramento, hice alianza contigo - oráculo del señor Yahveh - y tú fuiste mía.

8. "When I passed by you again and looked upon you, behold, you were at the age for love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yea, I plighted my troth to you and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord GOD, and you became mine.

9. Te bañé con agua, lavé la sangre que te cubría, te ungí con óleo.

9. Then I bathed you with water and washed off your blood from you, and anointed you with oil.

10. Te puse vestidos recamados, zapatos de cuero fino, una banda de lino fino y un manto de seda.

10. I clothed you also with embroidered cloth and shod you with leather, I swathed you in fine linen and covered you with silk.

11. Te adorné con joyas, puse brazaletes en tus muñecas y un collar a tu cuello.

11. And I decked you with ornaments, and put bracelets on your arms, and a chain on your neck.

12. Puse un anillo en tu nariz, pendientes en tus orejas, y una espléndida diadema en tu cabeza.

12. And I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.

13. Brillabas así de oro y plata, vestida de lino fino, de seda y recamados. Flor de harina, miel y aceite era tu alimento. Te hiciste cada día más hermosa, y llegaste al esplendor de una reina.

13. Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered cloth; you ate fine flour and honey and oil. You grew exceedingly beautiful, and came to regal estate.

14. Tu nombre se difundió entre las naciones, debido a tu belleza, que era perfecta, gracias al esplendor de que yo te había revestido - oráculo del Señor Yahveh.

14. And your renown went forth among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through the splendor which I had bestowed upon you, says the Lord GOD.

15. Pero tú te pagaste de tu belleza, te aprovechaste de tu fama para prostituirte, prodigaste tu lascivia a todo transeúnte entregándote a él.

15. "But you trusted in your beauty, and played the harlot because of your renown, and lavished your harlotries on any passer-by.

16. Tomaste tus vestidos para hacerte altos de ricos colores y te prostituiste en ellos.

16. You took some of your garments, and made for yourself gaily decked shrines, and on them played the harlot; the like has never been, nor ever shall be.

17. Tomaste tus joyas de oro y plata que yo te había dado y te hiciste imágenes de hombres para prostituirte ante ellas.

17. You also took your fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and with them played the harlot;

18. Tomaste tus vestidos recamados y las recubriste con ellos; y pusiste ante ellas mi aceite y mi incienso.

18. and you took your embroidered garments to cover them, and set my oil and my incense before them.

19. El pan que yo te había dado, la flor de harina, el aceite y la miel con que yo te alimentaba, lo presentaste ante ellas como calmante aroma. Y sucedió incluso - oráculo del Señor Yahveh -

19. Also my bread which I gave you -- I fed you with fine flour and oil and honey -- you set before them for a pleasing odor, says the Lord GOD.

20. que tomaste a tus hijos y a tus hijas que me habías dado a luz y se los sacrificaste como alimento. ¿Acaso no era suficiente tu prostitución,

20. And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter

21. que inmolaste también a mis hijos y los entregaste haciéndoles pasar por el fuego en su honor?

21. that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them?

22. Y en medio de todas tus abominaciones y tus prostituciones no te acordaste de los días de tu juventud, cuando estabas completamente desnuda, agitándote en tu sangre.

22. And in all your abominations and your harlotries you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, weltering in your blood.

23. Y para colmo de maldad - ¡ay, ay de ti!, oráculo del Señor Yahveh -

23. "And after all your wickedness (woe, woe to you! says the Lord GOD),

24. te construiste un prostíbulo, te hiciste una altura en todas las plazas.

24. you built yourself a vaulted chamber, and made yourself a lofty place in every square;

25. En la cabecera de todo camino te construiste tu altura y allí contaminaste tu hermosura, entregaste tu cuerpo a todo transeúnte y multiplicaste tus prostituciones.

25. at the head of every street you built your lofty place and prostituted your beauty, offering yourself to any passer-by, and multiplying your harlotry.

26. Te prostituiste a los egipcios, tus vecinos, de cuerpos fornidos, y multiplicaste tus prostituciones para irritarme.

26. You also played the harlot with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, multiplying your harlotry, to provoke me to anger.

27. Entonces yo levanté mi mano contra ti. Disminuí tu ración y te entregué a la animosidad de tus enemigas, las hijas de los filisteos, que se avergonzaban de la infamia de tu conducta.

27. Behold, therefore, I stretched out my hand against you, and diminished your allotted portion, and delivered you to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior.

28. Y no harta todavía, te prostituiste a los asirios; te prostituiste sin hartarte tampoco.

28. You played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yea, you played the harlot with them, and still you were not satisfied.

29. Luego, multiplicaste tus prostituciones en el país de los mercaderes, en Caldea, y tampoco esta vez quedaste harta.

29. You multiplied your harlotry also with the trading land of Chalde'a; and even with this you were not satisfied.

30. ¡Oh, qué débil era tu corazón - oráculo del Señor Yahveh - para cometer todas estas acciones, dignas de una prostituta descarada!

30. "How lovesick is your heart, says the Lord GOD, seeing you did all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot;

31. Cuando te contruías un prostíbulo a la cabecera de todo camino, cuando te hacías una altura en todas las plazas, despreciando el salario, no eras como la prostituta.

31. building your vaulted chamber at the head of every street, and making your lofty place in every square. Yet you were not like a harlot, because you scorned hire.

32. La mujer adúltera, en lugar de su marido, toma ajenos.

32. Adulterous wife, who receives strangers instead of her husband!

33. A toda prostituta se le da un regalo. Tú, en cambio, dabas regalos a todos tus amantes, y los atraías con mercedes para que vinieron a ti de los alrededores y se prestasen a tus prostituciones.

33. Men give gifts to all harlots; but you gave your gifts to all your lovers, bribing them to come to you from every side for your harlotries.

34. Contigo ha pasado en tus prostituciones al revés que con las otras mujeres; nadie andaba solicitando detrás de ti; eras tú la que pagabas, y no se te pagaba: ¡ha sido al revés!

34. So you were different from other women in your harlotries: none solicited you to play the harlot; and you gave hire, while no hire was given to you; therefore you were different.

35. Pues bien, prostituta, escucha la palabra de Yahveh.

35. "Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

36. Así dice el Señor Yahveh: Por haber prodigado tu bronce y descubierto tu desnudez en tus prostituciones con tus amantes y con todas tus abominables basuras, por la sangre de tus hijos que les has dado,

36. Thus says the Lord GOD, Because your shame was laid bare and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotries with your lovers, and because of all your idols, and because of the blood of your children that you gave to them,

37. por esto he aquí que yo voy a reunir a todos los amantes a quienes complaciste, a todos los que amaste y también a los que aborreciste; los voy a congregar de todas partes contra ti, y descubriré tu desnudez delante de ellos, para que vean toda tu desnudez.

37. therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved and all those you loathed; I will gather them against you from every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

38. Voy a aplicarte el castigo de las mujeres adúlteras y de las que derraman sangre: te entregaré al furor y a los celos,

38. And I will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged, and bring upon you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

39. te entregaré en sus manos, ellos arrasarán tu prostíbulo y demolerán tus alturas, te despojarán de tus vestidos, te arrancarán tus joyas y te dejarán completamente desnuda.

39. And I will give you into the hand of your lovers, and they shall throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your lofty places; they shall strip you of your clothes and take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bare.

40. Luego, incitarán a la multitud contra ti, te lapidarán, te acribillarán con sus espadas,

40. They shall bring up a host against you, and they shall stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.

41. prenderán fuego a tus casas y harán justicia de ti, a la vista de una multitud de mujeres; yo pondré fin a tus prostituciones, y no volverás a dar salario de prostituta.

41. And they shall burn your houses and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women; I will make you stop playing the harlot, and you shall also give hire no more.

42. Desahogaré mi furor en ti; luego mis celos se retirarán de ti, me apaciguaré y no me airaré más.

42. So will I satisfy my fury on you, and my jealousy shall depart from you; I will be calm, and will no more be angry.

43. Porque no te has acordado de los días de tu juventud, y con todas estas cosas me has provocado, he aquí que también yo por mi parte haré recaer tu conducta sobre tu cabeza, oráculo del Señor Yahveh. Pues ¿no has cometido infamia con todas tus abominaciones?

43. Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have enraged me with all these things; therefore, behold, I will requite your deeds upon your head, says the Lord GOD. "Have you not committed lewdness in addition to all your abominations?

44. Mira, todos los autores de proverbios harán uno a propósito de ti, diciendo: «Cual la madre, tal la hija.»

44. Behold, every one who uses proverbs will use this proverb about you, `Like mother, like daughter.'

45. Hija eres, sí, de tu madre, que dejó de amar a sus maridos y a sus hijos, y hermana de tus hermanas, que dejaron de amar a sus maridos y a sus hijos. Vuestra madre era una hitita y vuestro padre un amorreo.

45. You are the daughter of your mother, who loathed her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

46. Tu hermana mayor es Samaria, que habita a tu izquierda con sus hijas. Tu hermana menor es Sodoma, que habita a tu derecha con sus hijas.

46. And your elder sister is Sama'ria, who lived with her daughters to the north of you; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you, is Sodom with her daughters.

47. No has sido parca en imitar su conducta y en cometer sus abominaciones; te has mostrado más corrompida que ellas en toda tu conducta.

47. Yet you were not content to walk in their ways, or do according to their abominations; within a very little time you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.

48. Por mi vida, oráculo del Señor Yahveh, que tu hermana Sodoma y sus hijas no obraron como habéis obrado vosotras, tú y tus hijas.

48. As I live, says the Lord GOD, your sister Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done.

49. Este fue el crimen de tu hermana Sodoma: orgullo, voracidad, indolencia de la dulce vida tuvieron ella y sus hijas; no socorrieron al pobre y al indigente,

49. Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, surfeit of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.

50. se enorgullecieron y cometieron abominaciones ante mí: por eso las hice desaparecer, como tú viste.

50. They were haughty, and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them, when I saw it.

51. En cuanto a Samaria, ni la mitad de tus pecados ha cometido. Tú has cometido muchas más abominaciones que ellas y, al cometer tantas abominaciones, has hecho parecer justas a tus hermanas.

51. Sama'ria has not committed half your sins; you have committed more abominations than they, and have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations which you have committed.

52. Así, pues, carga con tu ignominia por haber decidido el fallo en favor de tus hermanas: a causa de los pecados que has cometido, mucho más abominables que los suyos, ellas resultan ser más justas que tú. Avergüénzate, pues, y carga con tu ignominia por hacer parecer justas a tus hermanas.

52. Bear your disgrace, you also, for you have made judgment favorable to your sisters; because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. So be ashamed, you also, and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.

53. Yo las restableceré. Restableceré a Sodoma y a sus hijas, restableceré a Samaria y a sus hijas, y después te restableceré a ti en medio de ella,

53. "I will restore their fortunes, both the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Sama'ria and her daughters, and I will restore your own fortunes in the midst of them,

54. a fin de que soportes tu ignominia y te avergüences de todo lo que has hecho, para consuelo de ellas.

54. that you may bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all that you have done, becoming a consolation to them.

55. Tu hermana Sodoma y sus hijas serán restablecidas en su antiguo estado. Samaria y sus hijas serán restablecidas en su antiguo estado. Tú y tus hijas seréis restablecidas también en vuestro antiguo estado.

55. As for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and Sama'ria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.

56. ¿No hiciste burla de tu hermana Sodoma, el día de tu orgullo,

56. Was not your sister Sodom a byword in your mouth in the day of your pride,

57. antes que fuese puesta al descubierto tu desnudez? Como ella, eres tú ahora el blanco de las burlas de las hijas de Edom y de todas las de los alrededores, de las hijas de los filisteos, que por todas partes te agobian a desprecios.

57. before your wickedness was uncovered? Now you have become like her an object of reproach for the daughters of Edom and all her neighbors, and for the daughters of the Philistines, those round about who despise you.

58. Tú misma soportas las consecuencias de tu infamia y tus abominaciones, oráculo de Yahveh.

58. You bear the penalty of your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD.

59. Pues así dice el Señor Yahveh: Yo haré contigo como has hecho tú, que menospreciaste el juramento, rompiendo la alianza.

59. "Yea, thus says the Lord GOD: I will deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant,

60. Pero yo me acordaré de mi alianza contigo en los días de tu juventud, y estableceré en tu favor una alianza eterna.

60. yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish with you an everlasting covenant.

61. Y tú te acordarás de tu conducta y te avergonzarás de ella, cuando acojas a tus hermanas, las mayores y las menores, y yo te las dé como hijas, si bien no en virtud de tu alianza.

61. Then you will remember your ways, and be ashamed when I take your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and give them to you as daughters, but not on account of the covenant with you.

62. Yo mismo restableceré mi alianza contigo, y sabrás que yo soy Yahveh,

62. I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the LORD,

63. para que te acuerdes y te avergüences y no oses más abrir la boca de vergüenza, cuando yo te haya perdonado todo lo que has hecho, oráculo del Señor Yahveh.

63. that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I forgive you all that you have done, says the Lord GOD."
