1 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

2 Y tú, hijo de hombre, ¿no juzgarás tú, no juzgarás tú a la ciudad derramadora de la sangre inocente, y le mostrarás todas sus abominaciones?

You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.

3 D irás, pues: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: ¡Ciudad derramadora de sangre en medio de sí, para que venga su hora, y que hizo ídolos contra sí misma para contaminarse!

You shall say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A city that sheds blood within herself, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!

4 E n tu sangre que derramaste eres culpable, y te has contaminado con tus ídolos que hiciste; y has hecho acercar tus días, y has llegado a tus años; por tanto, te he dado en oprobio a los gentiles, y en escarnio a todas las tierras.

You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.

5 L as que están cerca, y las que están lejos de ti, se reirán de ti, amancillada de fama, y de grande turbación.

Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.

6 H e aquí que los príncipes de Israel, cada uno según su poder, fueron en ti para derramar sangre.

Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.

7 A l padre y a la madre despreciaron en ti; al extranjero trataron con calumnia en medio de ti; al huérfano y a la viuda despojaron en ti.

In you have they set light by father and mother; among you they have dealt by oppression with the foreigner; in you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.

8 M is santuarios menospreciaste, y mis sábados has profanado.

You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.

9 C alumniadores hubo en ti para derramar sangre; y sobre los montes comieron en ti; hicieron en medio de ti suciedades.

Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: they have committed lewdness among you.

10 L a desnudez del padre descubrieron en ti; la inmunda de menstruo forzaron en ti.

In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.

11 Y cada uno hizo abominación con la mujer de su prójimo; y cada uno contaminó su nuera torpemente; y cada uno forzó en ti a su hermana, hija de su padre.

One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.

12 S oborno recibieron en ti para derramar sangre; usura y logro tomaste, y a tus prójimos defraudaste con violencia; te olvidaste de mí, dijo el Señor DIOS.

In you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says the Lord Yahweh.

13 Y he aquí, que herí mi mano a causa de tu avaricia que cometiste, y a causa de tus sangres que fueron en medio de ti.

Behold, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been within you.

14 ¿ Estará firme tu corazón? ¿Tus manos serán fuertes en los días que obraré yo contra ti? Yo, el SEÑOR, he hablado, y lo haré.

Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and will do it.

15 Y yo te esparciré por los gentiles, y te aventaré por las tierras; y haré fenecer de ti tu inmundicia.

I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.

16 Y tomarás heredad en ti a los ojos de los gentiles; y sabrás que yo soy el SEÑOR.

You shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

17 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

18 H ijo de hombre, la Casa de Israel se me ha tornado en escoria; todos ellos como bronce, y estaño, y hierro, y plomo, en medio del horno; escorias de plata se tornaron.

Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the middle of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.

19 P or tanto, así dijo el Señor DIOS: Por cuanto todos vosotros os habéis tornado en escorias, por tanto, he aquí que yo os junto en medio de Jerusalén.

Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.

20 C omo quien junta plata, bronce, hierro, plomo y estaño en medio del horno, para soplar fuego en él para fundir; así os juntaré en mi furor y en mi ira, y os haré reposar, y os fundiré.

As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.

21 Y o os juntaré y soplaré sobre vosotros en el fuego de mi furor, y en medio de él seréis fundidos.

Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the middle of it.

22 C omo se funde la plata en medio del horno, así seréis fundidos en medio de él; y sabréis que yo, el SEÑOR, habré derramado mi enojo sobre vosotros.

As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my wrath on you.

23 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

24 H ijo de hombre, di a ella: Tú no eres tierra limpia, ni rociada con lluvia en el día del furor.

Son of man, tell her, You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation.

25 L a conjuración de sus profetas en medio de ella, como león bramando que arrebata presa; devoraron almas, tomaron haciendas y honra, aumentaron sus viudas en medio de ella.

There is a conspiracy of her prophets within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many within it.

26 S us sacerdotes violentaron mi ley, y contaminaron mis santuarios, entre lo santo y lo profano no hicieron diferencia, ni entre inmundo y limpio hicieron manifestación; y de mis sábados escondieron sus ojos, y yo era profanado en medio de ellos.

Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

27 S us príncipes en medio de ella como lobos que arrebataban presa, derramando sangre, para destruir las almas, para seguir su avaricia.

Her princes within it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.

28 Y sus profetas los pañetaban con lodo suelto, profetizándoles vanidad, y adivinándoles mentira, diciendo: Así dijo el Señor DIOS; y el SEÑOR no había hablado.

Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord Yahweh, when Yahweh has not spoken.

29 E l pueblo de la tierra usaba de opresión, y cometía robo, y al pobre y menesteroso hacían violencia, y al extranjero oprimían sin derecho.

The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.

30 Y busqué de ellos hombre que hiciera vallado y que se pusiera al portillo delante de mí por la tierra, para que yo no la destruyera; y no le hallé.

I sought for a man among them, who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

31 P or tanto, derramé sobre ellos mi ira; con el fuego de mi ira los consumí; torné el camino de ellos sobre su cabeza, dijo el Señor DIOS.

Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says the Lord Yahweh.
