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

Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

2 T ú, hijo de hombre, ¿Vas a juzgar? ¿Vas a juzgar a la ciudad sanguinaria? Hazle saber 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: “Así dice el Señor Dios: ‘Ciudad que derrama sangre en medio de sí misma para que llegue su hora, y que se hace ídolos 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 p or la sangre que has derramado te has hecho culpable, y con los ídolos que has hecho te has contaminado. Has hecho acercar tu día y has llegado al término de tus años. Por tanto te he hecho oprobio de las naciones y objeto de burla de 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 ‘ Las que están cerca de ti y las que están lejos se burlarán de ti, ciudad de mala fama, llena de confusión.

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

6 ‘ He aquí, los príncipes de Israel, cada uno según su poder, han estado en ti para derramar sangre.

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

7 ‘ En ti despreciaron al padre y a la madre, en medio de ti trataron con violencia al extranjero y en ti oprimieron al huérfano y a la viuda.

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 ‘ Has despreciado mis cosas sagradas y profanado mis días de reposo.

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

9 ‘ En ti han estado calumniadores para derramar sangre, en ti han comido en los santuarios de los montes y en ti han cometido perversidades.

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 ‘ En ti se ha descubierto la desnudez del padre, en ti han humillado a la que estaba impura por su menstruación.

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

11 ‘ Uno ha cometido abominación con la mujer de su prójimo, otro ha manchado a su nuera con lascivia, y en ti otro ha humillado a su hermana, la 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 ‘ En ti se ha recibido soborno para derramar sangre; has tomado interés y usura, y has dañado a tus prójimos, extorsionándolos y de mí te has olvidado’ —declara 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, bato palmas contra las ganancias deshonestas que has adquirido y contra el derramamiento de sangre que hay 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 ‘ ¿Aguantará tu corazón o serán fuertes tus manos en los días que yo actúe 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 ‘ Yo te dispersaré entre las naciones, te esparciré por las tierras y haré desaparecer 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 por ti misma quedarás profanada a la vista de las naciones; 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 a mí la palabra del Señor, diciendo:

Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

18 H ijo de hombre, la casa de Israel se ha convertido en escoria para mí; todos ellos son bronce, estaño, hierro y plomo en medio del horno; escoria de plata son.

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 dice el Señor Dios: “Por cuanto todos vosotros os habéis convertido en escoria, por tanto, he aquí, os voy a reunir 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 “ Como se junta plata, bronce, hierro, plomo y estaño en medio del horno, y se atiza el fuego en él para fundir los, así os juntaré yo en mi ira y en mi furor, os pondré allí 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 “ Os reuniré y atizaré sobre vosotros el fuego de mi furor, y seréis fundidos en medio de ella.

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 “ Como se funde la plata en el horno, así seréis fundidos en medio de ella; y sabréis que yo, el Señor, he derramado mi furor 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 a mí la palabra del Señor, diciendo:

Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

24 H ijo de hombre, dile: “Tú eres tierra que no ha sido lavada ni mojada con la lluvia el día de la indignación.”

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

25 H ay conspiración de sus profetas en medio de ella, como león rugiente que desgarra la presa. Han devorado almas, de las riquezas y cosas preciosas se han apoderado, las viudas se han multiplicado 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 han violado mi ley y han profanado mis cosas sagradas; entre lo sagrado y lo profano no han hecho diferencia, y entre lo inmundo y lo limpio no han enseñado a distinguir; han escondido sus ojos de mis días de reposo, y he sido profanado entre 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 son como lobos que desgarran la presa, derramando sangre y destruyendo vidas para obtener ganancias injustas.

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 han recubierto con cal, viendo visiones falsas y adivinándoles mentiras, diciendo: “Así dice el Señor Dios ”, cuando el Señor no ha 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 L as gentes de la tierra han hecho violencia y cometido robo, han oprimido al pobre y al necesitado y han maltratado injustamente al extranjero.

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 B usqué entre ellos alguno que levantara un muro y se pusiera en pie en la brecha delante de mí a favor de la tierra, para que yo no la destruyera, pero no lo 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 H e derramado, pues, mi indignación sobre ellos; con el fuego de mi furor los he consumido; he hecho recaer su conducta sobre sus cabezas —declara 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.
