1 V ino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:

The Word of the Lord came to me saying,

2 T ú, hijo de hombre, así ha dicho Jehová el Señor a la tierra de Israel: El fin, el fin viene sobre los cuatro extremos de la tierra.

“Son of man, this is what the Lord God says to the land of Israel: ‘The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.

3 A hora será el fin sobre ti, y enviaré sobre ti mi furor, y te juzgaré según tus caminos; y pondré sobre ti todas tus abominaciones.

Now the end is upon you. I will send My anger against you and punish you because of your ways. I will make you pay for all your sinful actions.

4 Y mi ojo no te perdonará, ni tendré misericordia; antes pondré sobre ti tus caminos, y en medio de ti estarán tus abominaciones; y sabréis que yo soy Jehová.

My eye will have no pity on you. And I will not let you go without punishment. I will punish you for your ways, and for the hated sins that are among you. Then you will know that I am the Lord!’

5 A sí ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Un mal, he aquí que viene un mal.

“The Lord God says, ‘See, much trouble is coming!

6 V iene el fin, el fin viene; se ha despertado contra ti; he aquí que viene.

An end has come! The end has come! It has come up against you. See, it has come!

7 L a mañana viene para ti, oh morador de la tierra; el tiempo viene, cercano está el día; día de tumulto, y no de alegría, sobre los montes.

Your punishment has come upon you, O you who live in the land. The time has come. The day is near. The sound of trouble and not of joy is upon the mountains.

8 A hora pronto derramaré mi ira sobre ti, y cumpliré en ti mi furor, y te juzgaré según tus caminos; y pondré sobre ti tus abominaciones.

Now I will soon pour out My anger upon you. I will send My anger against you. I will punish you for your ways and for the hated sins that are among you.

9 Y mi ojo no perdonará, ni tendré misericordia; según tus caminos pondré sobre ti, y en medio de ti estarán tus abominaciones; y sabréis que yo Jehová soy el que castiga.

My eye will show no pity, and I will not let you go without punishment. I will make you pay for your ways, and for the hated sins that are among you. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, Who punishes you.

10 H e aquí el día, he aquí que viene; ha salido la mañana; ha florecido la vara, ha reverdecido la soberbia.

‘See, the day! See, it is coming! The time for your punishment has come. The power against you has started to grow. Pride has begun to grow.

11 L a violencia se ha levantado en vara de maldad; ninguno quedará de ellos, ni de su multitud, ni uno de los suyos, ni habrá entre ellos quien se lamente.

Angry action has grown into a power of sin. None of them will be left. None of their people, none of their riches, or anything of honor, will be left among them.

12 E l tiempo ha venido, se acercó el día; el que compra, no se alegre, y el que vende, no llore, porque la ira está sobre toda la multitud.

The time has come. The day has come. Let not the one who buys have joy, or the one who sells have sorrow. For anger is against all their people.

13 P orque el que vende no volverá a lo vendido, aunque queden vivos; porque la visión sobre toda la multitud no se revocará, y a causa de su iniquidad ninguno podrá amparar su vida.

For the one who sells will not get back what he has sold as long as both of them live. For the punishment of all their people will not be turned back. Because of their sins, not one of them will keep his life.

14 T ocarán trompeta, y prepararán todas las cosas, y no habrá quien vaya a la batalla; porque mi ira está sobre toda la multitud.

‘They have sounded the horn and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle. For My anger is against all their people.

15 D e fuera espada, de dentro pestilencia y hambre; el que esté en el campo morirá a espada, y al que esté en la ciudad lo consumirá el hambre y la pestilencia.

The sword is outside, and disease and hunger are inside. He who is in the field will die by the sword. And he who is in the city will be destroyed by disease and hunger.

16 Y los que escapen de ellos huirán y estarán sobre los montes como palomas de los valles, gimiendo todos, cada uno por su iniquidad.

Whoever gets away alive will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys. Each of them will be crying in sorrow because of his sin.

17 T oda mano se debilitará, y toda rodilla será débil como el agua.

All hands will hang without strength, and all knees will be as weak as water.

18 S e ceñirán también de cilicio, y les cubrirá terror; en todo rostro habrá verg: uenza, y todas sus cabezas estarán rapadas.

They will dress themselves in cloth made from hair. Much fear will cover them. Shame will be upon all faces, and the hair will be cut from all their heads.

19 A rrojarán su plata en las calles, y su oro será desechado; ni su plata ni su oro podrá librarlos en el día del furor de Jehová; no saciarán su alma, ni llenarán sus entrañas, porque ha sido tropiezo para su maldad.

They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will become an unclean thing. Their silver and gold will not be able to help them in the day of the Lord’s anger. They cannot stop their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. For riches have been the cause of their falling into sin.

20 P or cuanto convirtieron la gloria de su ornamento en soberbia, e hicieron de ello las imágenes de sus abominables ídolos, por eso se lo convertí en cosa repugnante.

They turned the beauty of gold into objects of pride, and made their hated objects of worship with it. So I will make it an unclean thing to them.

21 E n mano de extraños la entregué para ser saqueada, y será presa de los impíos de la tierra, y la profanarán.

I will give it to the strangers and to the sinful people of the earth as a prize of war, and they will make it sinful.

22 Y apartaré de ellos mi rostro, y será violado mi lugar secreto; pues entrarán en él invasores y lo profanarán.

I will turn My face from them, and they will make My secret place sinful. Robbers will go into it and make it sinful.

23 H az una cadena, porque la tierra está llena de delitos de sangre, y la ciudad está llena de violencia.

‘Make chains, for the land is guilty of blood and the city is full of angry actions.

24 T raeré, por tanto, los más perversos de las naciones, los cuales poseerán las casas de ellos; y haré cesar la soberbia de los poderosos, y sus santuarios serán profanados.

So I will bring the worst of the nations to take their houses for their own. I will put an end to the pride of the strong ones, and their holy places will become unclean.

25 D estrucción viene; y buscarán la paz, y no la habrá.

When suffering comes, they will look for peace, but there will be none.

26 Q uebrantamiento vendrá sobre quebrantamiento, y habrá rumor sobre rumor; y buscarán respuesta del profeta, mas la ley se alejará del sacerdote, y de los ancianos el consejo.

Trouble will come upon trouble, and one story will come after another. They will look for a special dream from a man of God, but the Law will be lost from the religious leader. And wisdom will be lost from the leaders.

27 E l rey se enlutará, y el príncipe se vestirá de tristeza, y las manos del pueblo de la tierra temblarán; según su camino haré con ellos, y con los juicios de ellos los juzgaré; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.

The king will be full of sorrow. The king’s son will be covered with fear. And the hands of the people of the land will shake in fear. I will punish them for their ways. I will give them the punishment they have earned. And they will know that I am the Lord.’”
