1 A gain Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

Entonces vino a mí la palabra del Señor:

2 S on of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;

“Hijo de hombre, haz saber a Jerusalén sus abominaciones,

3 a nd say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.

y di: ‘Así dice el Señor Dios a Jerusalén: “Por tu origen y tu nacimiento eres de la tierra del Cananeo, tu padre era Amorreo y tu madre Hetea.

4 A s for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren’t salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

En cuanto a tu nacimiento, el día que naciste no fue cortado tu cordón umbilical, ni fuiste lavada con agua para limpiarte; no fuiste frotada con sal, ni envuelta en pañales.

5 N o eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.

Ningún ojo se apiadó de ti para hacer por ti alguna de estas cosas, para compadecerse de ti; sino que fuiste echada al campo abierto, porque fuiste aborrecida el día en que naciste.

6 W hen I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live.

Yo pasé junto a ti y te vi revolcándote en tu sangre. Mientras estabas en tu sangre, te dije: ‘¡Vive!’ Sí, te dije, mientras estabas en tu sangre: ‘¡Vive!’

7 I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.

Te hice tan numerosa como la hierba del campo. Y creciste, te hiciste grande y llegaste a la plenitud de tu hermosura. Se formaron tus pechos y creció tu pelo, pero estabas desnuda y descubierta.

8 N ow when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.

Entonces pasé junto a ti y te vi, y tu tiempo era tiempo de amores; extendí Mi manto sobre ti y cubrí tu desnudez. Te hice juramento y entré en pacto contigo, y fuiste Mía,” declara el Señor Dios.

9 T hen washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

“Te lavé con agua, te limpié la sangre y te ungí con aceite.

10 I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.

Te vestí con tela bordada y puse en tus pies sandalias de piel de marsopa; te envolví con lino fino y te cubrí con seda.

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

Te engalané con adornos, puse brazaletes en tus manos y un collar a tu cuello.

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

Puse un anillo en tu nariz, pendientes en tus orejas y una hermosa corona en tu cabeza.

13 T hus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.

Estabas adornada con oro y plata, y tu vestido era de lino fino, seda y tela bordada. Comías flor de harina, miel y aceite; eras hermosa en extremo y llegaste a la realeza.

14 Y our renown went out among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord Yahweh.

Entonces tu fama se divulgó entre las naciones por tu hermosura, que era perfecta, gracias al esplendor que Yo puse en ti,” declara el Señor Dios. Infidelidad de Jerusalén

15 B ut you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.

“Pero tú confiaste en tu hermosura, te prostituiste a causa de tu fama y derramaste tus prostituciones a todo el que pasaba, fuera quien fuera.

16 Y ou took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them. This shall not come, neither shall it be.

Tomaste algunos de tus vestidos y te hiciste lugares altos de varios colores, y te prostituiste en ellos, cosa que nunca debiera haber sucedido ni jamás sucederá.

17 Y ou also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;

Tomaste también tus bellas joyas de oro y de plata que Yo te había dado, y te hiciste imágenes de hombres para prostituirte con ellas.

18 a nd you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.

Tomaste tu tela bordada y las cubriste, y ofreciste ante ellas Mi aceite y Mi incienso.

19 M y bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and so it was, says the Lord Yahweh.

También te di Mi pan, la flor de harina, el aceite y la miel con que Yo te alimentaba, y lo ofrecías ante ellas como aroma agradable. Así sucedió,” declara el Señor Dios.

20 M oreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,

“Tomaste además a tus hijos y a tus hijas que habías dado a luz para Mí, y se los sacrificaste como alimento. ¿Acaso eran poca cosa tus prostituciones,

21 t hat you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?

para que mataras a Mis hijos y se los ofrecieras a los ídolos, haciéndolos pasar por fuego ?

22 I n all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.

Y en todas tus abominaciones y prostituciones no te acordaste de los días de tu juventud, cuando estabas desnuda y descubierta y revolcándote en tu sangre.

23 I t has happened after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the Lord Yahweh),

Y después de toda tu maldad (‘¡Ay, ay de ti!’ declara el Señor Dios,)

24 t hat you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.

te edificaste un santuario y te hiciste un lugar alto en todas las plazas.

25 Y ou have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.

En toda cabecera de camino te edificaste tu lugar alto, e hiciste abominable tu hermosura. Te entregaste a todo el que pasaba y multiplicaste tu prostitución.

26 Y ou have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.

También te prostituiste a los Egipcios, tus vecinos de cuerpos robustos, y multiplicaste tu prostitución para provocarme a ira.

27 S ee therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your portion, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.

Y Yo extendí Mi mano contra ti y disminuí tus raciones. Y te entregué al deseo de las que te odiaban, las hijas de los Filisteos, que se avergonzaban de tu conducta deshonesta.

28 Y ou have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied.

Además, te prostituiste a los Asirios porque no te habías saciado; te prostituiste a ellos y ni aun entonces te saciaste.

29 Y ou have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.

También multiplicaste tu prostitución en la tierra de los mercaderes, Caldea, y ni aun con esto te saciaste.”’”

30 H ow weak is your heart, says the Lord Yahweh, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;

“¡Qué débil es tu corazón,” declara el Señor Dios, “cuando haces todas estas cosas, las acciones de una ramera desvergonzada!

31 i n that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.

Cuando edificaste tu santuario en toda cabecera de camino y te hiciste tu lugar alto en cada plaza, al despreciar la paga, no eras como la ramera.

32 A wife who commits adultery! who takes strangers instead of her husband!

¡Mujer adúltera, que en lugar de su marido recibe a extraños!

33 T hey give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.

A todas las rameras les dan regalos, pero tú dabas regalos a todos tus amantes y los sobornabas para que vinieran a ti de todas partes para tus prostituciones.

34 Y ou are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.

En tus prostituciones eras distinta de las otras mujeres: nadie te solicitaba para fornicar; tú dabas la paga, pero a ti ninguna paga se te daba. Eras distinta.”

35 T herefore, prostitute, hear Yahweh’s word:

Por tanto, ramera, oye la palabra del Señor.

36 T hus says the Lord Yahweh, Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;

Así dice el Señor Dios: “Por cuanto fue derramada tu lascivia y descubierta tu desnudez en tus prostituciones con tus amantes y con todos tus detestables ídolos, y a causa de la sangre de tus hijos que les ofreciste,

37 t herefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

por tanto, Yo reuniré a todos tus amantes con quienes te gozaste, a todos los que amaste y a todos los que aborreciste; los reuniré de todas partes contra ti, descubriré tu desnudez ante ellos y ellos verán toda tu desnudez.

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

Te juzgaré como son juzgadas las adúlteras y las que derraman sangre, y traeré sobre ti sangre de furor y de celos.

39 I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.

También te entregaré en manos de tus amantes y ellos derribarán tus santuarios, destruirán tus lugares altos, te despojarán de tus vestidos, te quitarán tus bellas joyas y te dejarán desnuda y descubierta.

40 T hey shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

Provocarán contra ti a una multitud, y te apedrearán y te harán pedazos con sus espadas.

41 T hey shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.

Prenderán fuego a tus casas y ejecutarán juicios contra ti a la vista de muchas mujeres. Entonces haré que dejes de ser ramera y no darás más paga a tus amantes.

42 S o will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

Desahogaré Mi furor en ti; Mis celos se apartarán de ti, me apaciguaré y no me enojaré más.

43 B ecause you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head, says the Lord Yahweh: and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.

Por cuanto no te has acordado de los días de tu juventud, sino que Me has irritado con todas estas cosas, también Yo haré recaer tu conducta sobre tu cabeza,” declara el Señor Dios, “para que no cometas esta lascivia con todas tus otras abominaciones.” Jerusalén Comparada con Sodoma y Samaria

44 B ehold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

“Todo aquél que cita proverbios repetirá este proverbio acerca de ti: ‘De tal madre, tal hija.’

45 Y ou are the daughter of your mother, who loathes 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.

Eres hija de tu madre que aborreció a su marido y a sus hijos, y hermana de tus hermanas que aborrecieron a sus maridos y a sus hijos. Su madre era Hitita y su padre Amorreo.

46 Y our elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

Tu hermana mayor es Samaria que con sus hijas (sus aldeas) habita al norte de ti, y tu hermana menor es Sodoma que habita al sur de ti con sus hijas.

47 Y et you have not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.

Pero no sólo has andado en sus caminos y has hecho según sus abominaciones, sino que, como si eso fuera muy poco, te has corrompido más que ellas en todos tus caminos.

48 A s I live, says the Lord Yahweh, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.

“Vivo Yo,” declara el Señor Dios, “que tu hermana Sodoma y sus hijas no han hecho como tú y tus hijas han hecho.

49 B ehold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Pues ésta fue la iniquidad de tu hermana Sodoma: arrogancia, abundancia de pan y completa ociosidad tuvieron ella y sus hijas; pero no ayudaron al pobre ni al necesitado,

50 T hey were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away when I saw it.

y se enorgullecieron y cometieron abominaciones delante de Mí. Y cuando lo vi las hice desaparecer.

51 N either has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.

Ni aún Samaria ha cometido ni la mitad de tus pecados, pues tú has multiplicado tus abominaciones más que ellas, y has hecho aparecer justas a tus hermanas con todas las abominaciones que has cometido.

52 Y ou also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.

También tú, carga con tu ignominia ya que has hecho que se hagan juicios favorables de tus hermanas. A causa de tus pecados, en los que obraste en forma más abominable que ellas, ellas son más justas que tú. Tú pues, avergüénzate también y carga con tu ignominia, ya que hiciste que tus hermanas parecieran justas.

53 I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives among them;

“Y cambiaré su suerte, la suerte de Sodoma y de sus hijas, la suerte de Samaria y de sus hijas, y junto con ellas, tu propia suerte,

54 t hat you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.

para que cargues con tu humillación y te avergüences de todo lo que has hecho cuando seas consuelo para ellas.

55 Y our sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.

Y tus hermanas, Sodoma con sus hijas y Samaria con sus hijas, volverán a su estado anterior; también tú y tus hijas volverán a su estado anterior.

56 F or your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

El nombre de tu hermana Sodoma no era mencionado en tu boca el día de tu soberbia,

57 b efore your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.

antes que fuera descubierta tu maldad. Como ella, tú has venido a ser el oprobio de las hijas de Edom, de todas sus vecinas y de las hijas de los Filisteos que te desprecian por todos lados.

58 Y ou have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says Yahweh.

Llevas sobre ti el castigo de tu lascivia y de tus abominaciones,” declara el Señor.

59 F or thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

Porque así dice el Señor Dios: “Yo haré contigo como has hecho tú, que has despreciado el juramento violando el pacto.

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

“Sin embargo, Yo recordaré Mi pacto contigo en los días de tu juventud, y estableceré para ti un pacto eterno.

61 T hen you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

Entonces te acordarás de tus caminos y te avergonzarás cuando recibas a tus hermanas, las mayores que tú y las menores que tú; y te las daré por hijas, pero no por causa de tu pacto.

62 I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh;

Estableceré Mi pacto contigo; y sabrás que Yo soy el Señor;

63 t hat you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord Yahweh.

para que recuerdes y te avergüences, y nunca más abras la boca a causa de tu humillación, cuando Yo te haya perdonado por todo lo que has hecho,” declara el Señor Dios.
