1 A gain the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Entonces vino a mí la palabra del Señor:

2 S on of man, cause Jerusalem to know, understand, and realize her abominations are disgusting, detestable, and shamefully vile.

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

3 A nd say, Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are thoroughly Canaanitish; your father was an Amorite and your mother 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 nd as for your birth, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt or swaddled with bands 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 for you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for your person was abhorrent and loathsome on 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 A nd when I passed by you and saw you rolling about in your blood, I said to you in your blood, Live! Yes, I said to you still in your natal 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 the bud which grows in the field, and you increased and became tall and you came to full maidenhood and beauty; your breasts were formed and your hair had 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 I passed by you again and looked upon you; behold, you were maturing and at the time for love, and I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I plighted My troth to you and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord, 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 I washed 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 cloth and shod you with leather; and I girded 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 also with ornaments and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck.

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

12 A nd I put a ring on your nostril and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown upon 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 raiment was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth; you ate fine flour and honey and oil. And you were exceedingly beautiful and you prospered into 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 A nd your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty, for it was perfect through My majesty and splendor which I had put upon you, says the Lord God.

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 and relied on your own beauty and were unfaithful to God and played the harlot because of your renown, and you poured out your fornications upon anyone who passed by and your beauty was his.

“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 A nd you took some of your garments and made for yourself gaily decorated high places or shrines and played the harlot on them—things which should not come and that which should not take place.

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 did also take your fair jewels and beautiful vessels of My gold and My silver which I had given you and made for yourself images of men, and you played the harlot 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 have even set it before the idols for a sweet odor. Thus it was, says the Lord God.

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 them to be destroyed. Were your harlotries too little,

“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 setting them apart and causing them to pass through the fire for ?

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

22 A nd in all your abominations and idolatrous whoredoms you have not remembered the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, rolling about in your natal 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 A nd after all your wickedness—Woe, woe to you! says the Lord God—

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

24 Y ou have built also for yourself a vaulted chamber (brothel) and have made a high place in every street.

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

25 A t every crossway you built your high place and have made your beauty an abomination; and you have made your body available to every passerby and multiplied your harlotry.

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 played the harlot with the Egyptians, your neighbors, whose worship is thoroughly sensuous, and you have multiplied your harlotry 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 B ehold therefore, I have stretched out My hand against you, diminished your ordinary allowance of food, and delivered you over to the will of those who hate and despise you, the daughters of the Philistines, who turned away in shame from your despicable policy and lewd behavior!

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 played the harlot also with the Assyrians because you were unsatiable; yes, you played the harlot with them, and yet you were not satisfied.

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

29 M oreover, you multiplied your harlotry with the land of trade, with Chaldea, and yet even with this you were not satisfied.

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

30 H ow weak and spent with longing and lust is your heart and mind, says the Lord God, seeing you do all these things, the work of a bold, domineering harlot,

“¡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 (brothel) at the head of every street and make your high place at every crossing. But you were not like a harlot because you scorned 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 R ather, you were as an adulterous wife who receives strangers instead of her husband!

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

33 M en give gifts to all harlots, but you give your gifts to all your lovers and hire them, bribing, that they may come to you on every side for your harlotries (your idolatrous unfaithfulnesses to God).

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 A nd you are different from other women in your harlotries, in that nobody follows you to lure you into harlotry and in that you give hire when no hire is given you; and so 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, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord!

Por tanto, ramera, oye la palabra del Señor.

36 T hus says the Lord God: Because your brass and your filthiness were emptied out and your nakedness uncovered through your harlotries with your lovers, and because of all the idols of your abominations, and 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 behold, I will gather all your lovers with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those whom you have loved with all those whom 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 A nd I the Lord will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged, and I will bring upon 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 A nd I will also give you into the hand of those, and they shall throw down your vaulted place (brothel) and shall demolish your high places; they shall strip you of your clothes and shall take your splendid jewels and 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 hew down and thrust you through with their swords.

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

41 A nd they shall burn your houses with fire and execute judgments upon you before the eyes of many women spectators. And I will cause you to cease playing the harlot, and you also shall give hire no 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 make 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 enraged Me with all these things, therefore behold, I also will bring your deeds down on your own head, says the Lord God. Did you not commit this lewdness above and in addition to all your other 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 will use this proverb against you: 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 your mother’s daughter 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.

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 A nd your elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters who dwelt in the north and at your left hand; and your younger sister who dwelt in the south and 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 were not satisfied to walk after their ways or to do after their abominations, but very soon you were more corrupt in all your ways than they were.

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 God, 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, overabundance of food, prosperous ease, and idleness were hers and 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 A nd they were haughty and committed abominable offenses before Me; therefore I removed them when I saw it and I saw fit.

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 seemed to justify your sisters in all their wickedness by all the abominable things which you have done—you even make them appear righteous in comparison with you.

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 T ake upon you and bear your own shame and disgrace, you also who called in question and judged your sisters, for you have virtually absolved them by your sins in which you behaved more abominably than they; they are more right than you. Yes, be ashamed and confounded and bear your shame and disgrace, you also, for you have seemed to justify your sisters and make them appear righteous.

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 restore them again from their captivity, restore the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters, and I will restore your own fortunes in the midst of 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, amid your shame and disgrace, may be compelled to recognize your wickedness and be thoroughly ashamed and confounded at all you have done, becoming consolation and comfort to

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

55 A nd your sisters, Sodom and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; then 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 was your sister Sodom not mentioned by you as a byword 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 own wickedness was uncovered? Now you have become like her, an object of reproach and a byword for the daughters of Syria and of Edom and for all who are round about them and for the daughters of the Philistines—those round about who despise you.

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 bear the penalty of your lewdness and your abominations, says the Lord.

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

59 Y es, thus says the Lord God: I will even 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 with 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 will remember your ways and be ashamed and confounded when you shall receive your sisters, both your elder and your younger; I will give them to you as daughters, but not on account of 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 A nd I will establish My covenant with you, and you shall know (understand and realize) that I am the Lord,

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

63 T hat you may remember and be ashamed and confounded and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord God.

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.
