1 T he Word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Entonces vino a mí la palabra del Señor:

2 “ Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her hated sins.

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

3 T ell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says to Jerusalem: “Your beginning and your birth are from the land of the Canaanite. Your father was an Amorite 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 O n the day you were born the cord between you and your mother was not cut. You were not washed with water to make you clean. You were not rubbed with salt or even covered with cloth.

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 one looked with pity on you or did any of these things for you out of loving-kindness. Instead you were thrown out into the open field, for you were hated on the day 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 “ 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 while you were 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 made you become many, like plants of the field. Then you grew up and became tall. You grew into a beautiful woman. You had breasts and your hair had grown. Yet you were not covered and your body could be seen.

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 T hen I passed by you and saw that you were old enough for love. So I spread my clothing over you and covered your body. I gave you my promise and made an agreement with you so that you became Mine,” says the Lord God.

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 “ Then I washed you with water, washed the blood from you, and poured oil on you.

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

10 I dressed you with beautiful cloth, and put leather shoes on your feet. I dressed you 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 put on you objects of beauty. I put beautiful objects on your arms and around your neck.

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

12 I put rings in your nose and 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 S o you were dressed with gold and silver. Your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and beautiful cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. So you were very beautiful, and you became a queen.

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 name became known among the nations because of your beauty. For it was perfect because of My shining-greatness which I had given to 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 “ But you trusted in your beauty. Because your name was well-known, you acted like a woman who sells the use of her body. And you did sex sins with anyone who passed by.

“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 some of your clothes of many colors and made for yourself places of worship. There you acted like a woman who sells the use of her body. Such things should never happen or come to pass.

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 objects of beauty made of My gold and silver, which I had given you. And you used them to make things that looked like men, that you might play with them as a woman who sells the use of her body.

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 T hen you took your beautiful cloth and covered them, and set My oil and My special perfume in front of them.

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

19 Y ou also set in front of them My bread which I gave you, the fine flour, oil and honey I gave you to eat. You gave it all to them as a special perfume. So 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 “ You even took your sons and daughters whom you had given birth for Me, and gave them to the false gods to be destroyed. Were your sex sins 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 Y ou killed My children and gave them as burnt gifts to false gods.

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

22 A nd in all your hated acts and sex sins you did not remember the days when you were young. You did not remember when you were without clothing or covering, and when you rolled about 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 “ It is bad for you!” says the Lord God. “After all your sinful acts,

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

24 y ou built a place of worship for yourself, and a high place in every street.

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

25 Y ou built yourself a high place at the beginning of every street and made your beauty a hated thing. You gave yourself to anyone who passed by, to make your sex sins many.

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 also gave the use of your body to the Egyptians, your neighbors who have much desire for sex sins. And you sinned many times to make Me angry.

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

27 S o I have raised My hand to punish you and have made your share smaller. I have given you over to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your sinful actions.

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 also gave the use of your body to the Assyrians because you had not had enough. Yes, you even gave the use of your body to them and still thought you had not had enough.

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

29 Y ou did many sex sins with Babylon, the land of those who trade. Yet even this was not enough for you.

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

30 “ How sinful your heart is,” says the Lord God, “that you do all these things, the actions of a sinful woman, and show no shame.

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

31 Y ou built your places of worship at the beginning of every street and made your high place at every crossing. But you were not like a woman who sells the use of her body, because you did not want 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 Y ou are like a wife who is not faithful and has strangers instead of her husband!

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

33 M en give gifts to all women who sell the use of their body. But you give your gifts to all your lovers. You pay them to come to you from everywhere for your sex sins.

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 sex sins. You go after men; they do not come to you. You pay men instead of them giving pay to you. Yes, you are different.” God Judges Jerusalem

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 S o, sinful woman, hear the Word of the Lord.

Por tanto, ramera, oye la palabra del Señor.

36 T he Lord God says, “Your shame was poured out and your clothing was taken off because of your sex sins with your lovers and with all your hated false gods. And you killed your children and gave them to false gods. Because of these things,

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 I will gather all your lovers who pleased you. I will gather all those whom you loved and all those whom you hated. I will gather them against you from every side, and take off your covering so that they may see all your shame.

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 punish you as I punish women who are not faithful in marriage, or women who kill. I will do it in My anger 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 give you over to your lovers. They will tear down your places of worship and destroy your high places. They will take all of your clothes and your beautiful objects, and will leave you without any covering.

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 will bring up a group of people against you, and they will kill you with stones and cut you to pieces with their swords.

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

41 T hey will burn your houses with fire and punish you as many women watch. Then I will stop you from acting like a woman who sells the use of her body, and you will no longer pay your lovers.

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 T hen I will take away My anger from you, and My jealousy will leave you. I will be at peace, and will not be angry any more.

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

43 Y ou have not remembered the days when you were young, but have made Me angry with all these things. So I will punish you for what you have done,” says the Lord God. “Did you not add these sex sins to all your other hated sins? More Sinful Than Samaria and Sodom

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 “ Every one who uses sayings will use this saying about you: ‘Like mother, like 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 hated her husband and her children. You are also a sister of your sisters who hated their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father was 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 older sister is Samaria, who lives north of you with her daughters. And your younger sister is Sodom, who lives south of you with 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 walked in their ways and done their hated acts. As if that were too little, you acted worse in all your ways than they.

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, “your sister Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done.

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

49 N ow this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters had pride, much food, and too much rest, but she did not help those who were poor and in need.

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 proud and did hated sins in front of Me. So 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 S amaria has not done half of your sins. You have done more sins than they. So you have made your sisters look right and good by all the hated sins 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 T ake your shame upon you, for you have made Me show favor to them in their punishment. Because of your sins in which you acted worse than they, they are more in the right than you. So then be ashamed and take your shame upon you, for you have made your sisters look right and good.

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 return them to their land, both Sodom and her daughters, and Samaria and her daughters. With them I will return you to your land.

“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 his is so you will take your shame upon you, and feel ashamed for all that you have done in becoming 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 with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to the land they had before. And you with your daughters will return to your land also.

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 Y ou did not speak against your sister Sodom in the days of your pride,

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

57 b efore your sinful acts were seen. Now you have become like her, an object of shame for the daughters of Edom and all her neighbors, and for the daughters of the Philistines. All those around you who hate you now look on you with shame.

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 T he penalty of your sex sins and other hated sins has come upon you,” says the Lord.

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

59 F or the Lord God says, “I will do with you as you have done, because you have hated your promise by breaking the agreement. An Agreement That Lasts Forever

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

60 “ But I will remember My agreement which I made with you when you were young. And I will make an agreement with you that lasts forever.

“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 when you receive your sisters, both your older one and younger one. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your agreement with Me.

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 S o I will make My agreement with you, and you will know that I am the Lord.

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

63 T hen you will remember and be ashamed. You will never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I have forgiven you for 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.
