Ezequiel 16

Nueva Versión Internacional NVI

1 El SEÑOR me dirigió la palabra:

2 «Hijo de hombre, échale en cara a Jerusalén sus prácticas repugnantes.

3 Adviértele que así dice el SEÑOR omnipotente: “Jerusalén, tú eres cananea de origen y de nacimiento; tu padre era amorreo y tu madre, hitita.

4 El día en que naciste no te cortaron el cordón umbilical; no te bañaron, no te frotaron con sal, ni te envolvieron en pañales.

5 Nadie se apiadó de ti ni te mostró compasión brindándote estos cuidados. Al contrario, el día en que naciste te arrojaron al campo como un objeto despreciable.

6 »”Pasé junto a ti, y te vi revolcándote en tu propia sangre y te dije: ¡Sigue viviendo;

7 crece como planta silvestre!»”Tú te desarrollaste, y creciste y te hiciste mujer. Y se formaron tus senos, y te brotó el vello, pero tú seguías completamente desnuda.

8 »”Tiempo después pasé de nuevo junto a ti, y te miré. Estabas en la edad del amor. Extendí entonces mi manto sobre ti, y cubrí tu desnudez. Me comprometí e hice alianza contigo, y fuiste mía. Lo afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente.

9 »”Te bañé, te limpié la sangre y te perfumé.

10 Te puse un vestido bordado y te calcé con finas sandalias de cuero. Te vestí con ropa de lino y de seda.

11 Te adorné con joyas: te puse pulseras, collares,

12 aretes, un anillo en la nariz y una hermosa corona en la cabeza.

13 Quedaste adornada de oro y plata, vestida de lino fino, de seda y de telas bordadas. Te alimentabas con el mejor trigo, y con miel y aceite de oliva. Llegaste a ser muy hermosa; ¡te sobraban cualidades para ser reina!

14 Tan perfecta era tu belleza que tu fama se extendió por todas las naciones, pues yo te adorné con mi esplendor. Lo afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente.

15 »”Sin embargo, confiaste en tu belleza y, valiéndote de tu fama, te prostituiste. ¡Sin ningún pudor te entregaste a cualquiera que pasaba!

16 Con tus mismos vestidos te hiciste aposentos idolátricos de vistosos colores, y allí te prostituiste. ¡Algo nunca visto!

17 Con las joyas de oro y plata que yo te había obsequiado, hiciste imágenes masculinas, y con ellas te prostituiste ofreciéndoles culto.

18 Les pusiste tus vestidos bordados, y les ofreciste mi aceite y mi perfume.

19 Como ofrenda de olor fragante les presentaste el alimento que yo te había dado: el mejor trigo, el aceite de oliva y la miel. Lo afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente.

20 »”Tomaste también a los hijos y a las hijas que tuviste conmigo y los sacrificaste como alimento a esas imágenes. ¡No te bastaron tus prostituciones!

21 Inmolaste a mis hijos y los pasaste por fuego como ofrenda en honor de esos ídolos.

22 En todas tus repugnantes prácticas y prostituciones no te acordaste de los días de tu infancia, cuando estabas completamente desnuda y te revolcabas en tu propia sangre.

23 »”¡Ay de ti, ay de ti! —afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente—. Para colmo de tus perversidades,

24 construiste prostíbulos en cada plaza.

25 ¡No hubo esquina donde no te exhibieras para prostituirte! Te abriste de piernas a cualquiera que pasaba, y fornicaste sin cesar.

26 Te acostaste con los egipcios, tus vecinos de grandes genitales, y para enfurecerme multiplicaste tus fornicaciones.

27 Yo levanté mi mano para castigarte y reduje tu territorio; te entregué a las ciudades filisteas, que se avergonzaban de tu conducta depravada.

28 Una y otra vez fornicaste con los asirios, porque eras insaciable.

29 Lo mismo hiciste con los comerciantes de Babilonia, y ni así quedaste satisfecha.

30 »”¡Qué mente tan depravada la tuya! —afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente—. ¡Te comportabas como una vil prostituta!

31 Pero cuando en cada plaza armabas un prostíbulo y te exhibías en cada esquina, no te comportabas como una prostituta, ¡pues no cobrabas nada!

32 »”¡Adúltera! Prefieres a los extraños, en vez de a tu marido.

33 A todas las prostitutas se les paga; tú, en cambio, les pagas a tus amantes. Los sobornas para que vengan de todas partes a acostarse contigo.

34 En tu prostitución has sido diferente de otras mujeres: como nadie se te ofrecía, tú pagabas en vez de que te pagaran a ti. ¡En eso sí eras diferente de las demás!

35 »”Por tanto, prostituta, escucha la palabra del SEÑOR.

36 Así dice el SEÑOR omnipotente: Has expuesto tus vergüenzas y exhibido tu desnudez al fornicar con tus amantes y con tus ídolos; a estos les has ofrecido la sangre de tus hijos.

37 Por tanto, reuniré a todos tus amantes, a quienes brindaste placer; tanto a los que amaste como a los que odiaste. Los reuniré contra ti de todas partes, y expondré tu desnudez ante ellos, y ellos te verán completamente desnuda.

38 Te juzgaré como a una adúltera y homicida, y derramaré sobre ti mi ira y mi celo.

39 Te entregaré en sus manos, y ellos derribarán tus prostíbulos y demolerán tus puestos. Te arrancarán la ropa y te despojarán de tus joyas, dejándote completamente desnuda.

40 Convocarán a la asamblea contra ti, y te apedrearán y te descuartizarán a filo de espada.

41 Incendiarán tus casas, y en presencia de muchas mujeres ejecutarán la sentencia contra ti. Yo pondré fin a tu prostitución, y ya no volverás a pagarles a tus amantes.

42 Así calmaré mi ira contra ti y se apaciguarán mis celos; me quedaré tranquilo y sin enojo.

43 Yo te hago responsable de tu conducta por haberte olvidado de los días de tu infancia, por haberme irritado con todas estas cosas, y por haber agregado infamia a tus prácticas repugnantes. Lo afirma el SEÑOR.

44 »”Los que acostumbran citar refranes, dirán esto de ti: ‘De tal palo, tal astilla’.

45 Tú eres igual a tu madre, que despreció a su marido y a sus hijos; eres igual a tus hermanas, que despreciaron a sus maridos y a sus hijos. La madre de ustedes era hitita, y su padre, amorreo.

46 Tu hermana mayor es Samaria, ubicada al norte de ti con sus aldeas. Tu hermana menor es Sodoma, ubicada al sur de ti con sus aldeas.

47 No solo has seguido su conducta, sino que has actuado según sus prácticas repugnantes. En poco tiempo llegaste a ser peor que ellas.

48 Yo, el SEÑOR, lo juro por mí mismo: ni tu hermana Sodoma ni sus aldeas hicieron jamás lo que tú y tus aldeas han hecho.

49 Tu hermana Sodoma y sus aldeas pecaron de soberbia, gula, apatía, e indiferencia hacia el pobre y el indigente.

50 Se creían superiores a otras, y en mi presencia se entregaron a prácticas repugnantes. Por eso, tal como lo has visto, las he destruido.

51 ¡Pero ni Samaria ni sus aldeas cometieron la mitad de tus pecados! Tú te entregaste a más prácticas repugnantes que ellas, haciendo que ellas parecieran justas en comparación contigo.

52 Ahora tú, carga con tu desgracia; porque son tantos tus pecados que has favorecido a tus hermanas al hacerlas parecer más justas que tú. ¡Avergüénzate y carga con tu desgracia! Has hecho que tus hermanas parezcan más justas que tú.

53 »”Pero yo cambiaré su suerte, la suerte de Sodoma y de Samaria, con sus respectivas aldeas, y haré lo mismo contigo.

54 Así cargarás con tu desgracia y te avergonzarás de todo lo que hiciste, y les servirás de consuelo.

55 Tú y tus dos hermanas, con sus respectivas aldeas, volverán a ser como antes.

56 ¿Acaso no te burlabas de tu hermana Sodoma en tu época de orgullo,

57 antes de que se hiciera pública tu maldad? Ahora te has vuelto el hazmerreír de las aldeas edomitas y filisteas, ¡y por todas partes te desprecian!

58 Sobre tus hombros llevas el peso de tu infamia y de tus prácticas repugnantes. Lo afirma el SEÑOR.

59 »”Así dice el SEÑOR omnipotente: Te daré tu merecido, porque has menospreciado el juramento y quebrantado la alianza.

60 Sin embargo, yo sí me acordaré de la alianza que hice contigo en los días de tu infancia, y estableceré contigo una alianza eterna.

61 Tú te acordarás de tu conducta pasada, y te avergonzarás cuando yo acoja a tus hermanas, la mayor y la menor, para dártelas como hijas, aunque no participan de mi alianza contigo.

62 Yo estableceré mi alianza contigo, y sabrás que yo soy el SEÑOR.

63 Cuando yo te perdone por todo lo que has hecho, tú te acordarás de tu maldad y te avergonzarás, y en tu humillación no volverás a jactarte. Lo afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente”».

New International Version NIV

1 The word of the LORD came to me:

2 “Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her detestable practices

3 and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Jerusalem: Your ancestry and birth were in the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

4 On the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to make you clean, nor were you rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths.

5 No one looked on you with pity or had compassion enough to do any of these things for you. Rather, you were thrown out into the open field, for on the day you were born you were despised.

6 “ ‘Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, “Live!”

7 I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew and developed and entered puberty. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, yet you were stark naked.

8 “ ‘Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your naked body. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign LORD, and you became mine.

9 “ ‘I bathed you with water and washed the blood from you and put ointments on you.

10 I clothed you with an embroidered dress and put sandals of fine leather on you. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with costly garments.

11 I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck,

12 and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. Your food was honey, olive oil and the finest flour. You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen.

14 And your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign LORD.

15 “ ‘But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a prostitute. You lavished your favors on anyone who passed by and your beauty became his.

16 You took some of your garments to make gaudy high places, where you carried on your prostitution. You went to him, and he possessed your beauty.

17 You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged in prostitution with them.

18 And you took your embroidered clothes to put on them, and you offered my oil and incense before them.

19 Also the food I provided for you—the flour, olive oil and honey I gave you to eat—you offered as fragrant incense before them. That is what happened, declares the Sovereign LORD.

20 “ ‘And you took your sons and daughters whom you bore to me and sacrificed them as food to the idols. Was your prostitution not enough?

21 You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols.

22 In all your detestable practices and your prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, kicking about in your blood.

23 “ ‘Woe! Woe to you, declares the Sovereign LORD. In addition to all your other wickedness,

24 you built a mound for yourself and made a lofty shrine in every public square.

25 At every street corner you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, spreading your legs with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passed by.

26 You engaged in prostitution with the Egyptians, your neighbors with large genitals, and aroused my anger with your increasing promiscuity.

27 So I stretched out my hand against you and reduced your territory; I gave you over to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were shocked by your lewd conduct.

28 You engaged in prostitution with the Assyrians too, because you were insatiable; and even after that, you still were not satisfied.

29 Then you increased your promiscuity to include Babylonia, a land of merchants, but even with this you were not satisfied.

30 “ ‘I am filled with fury against you, declares the Sovereign LORD, when you do all these things, acting like a brazen prostitute!

31 When you built your mounds at every street corner and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were unlike a prostitute, because you scorned payment.

32 “ ‘You adulterous wife! You prefer strangers to your own husband!

33 All prostitutes receive gifts, but you give gifts to all your lovers, bribing them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.

34 So in your prostitution you are the opposite of others; no one runs after you for your favors. You are the very opposite, for you give payment and none is given to you.

35 “ ‘Therefore, you prostitute, hear the word of the LORD!

36 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you poured out your lust and exposed your naked body in your promiscuity with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children’s blood,

37 therefore I am going to gather all your lovers, with whom you found pleasure, those you loved as well as those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and will strip you in front of them, and they will see you stark naked.

38 I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and who shed blood; I will bring on you the blood vengeance of my wrath and jealous anger.

39 Then I will deliver you into the hands of your lovers, and they will tear down your mounds and destroy your lofty shrines. They will strip you of your clothes and take your fine jewelry and leave you stark naked.

40 They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and hack you to pieces with their swords.

41 They will burn down your houses and inflict punishment on you in the sight of many women. I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers.

42 Then my wrath against you will subside and my jealous anger will turn away from you; I will be calm and no longer angry.

43 “ ‘Because you did not remember the days of your youth but enraged me with all these things, I will surely bring down on your head what you have done, declares the Sovereign LORD. Did you not add lewdness to all your other detestable practices?

44 “ ‘Everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “Like mother, like daughter.”

45 You are a true daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and her children; and you are a true sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived to the north of you with her daughters; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you with her daughters, was Sodom.

47 You not only followed their ways and copied their detestable practices, but in all your ways you soon became more depraved than they.

48 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did what you and your daughters have done.

49 “ ‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

51 Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more detestable things than they, and have made your sisters seem righteous by all these things you have done.

52 Bear your disgrace, for you have furnished some justification for your sisters. Because your sins were more vile than theirs, they appear more righteous than you. So then, be ashamed and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.

53 “ ‘However, I will restore the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters and of Samaria and her daughters, and your fortunes along with them,

54 so that you may bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you have done in giving them comfort.

55 And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to what they were before; and you and your daughters will return to what you were before.

56 You would not even mention your sister Sodom in the day of your pride,

57 before your wickedness was uncovered. Even so, you are now scorned by the daughters of Edom and all her neighbors and the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who despise you.

58 You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your detestable practices, declares the LORD.

59 “ ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will deal with you as you deserve, because you have despised my oath by breaking the covenant.

60 Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both those who are older than you and those who are younger. I will give them to you as daughters, but not on the basis of my covenant with you.

62 So I will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD.

63 Then, when I make atonement for you for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your humiliation, declares the Sovereign LORD.’ ”
