1 El Señor me habló y dijo:
1 Again Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 Hijo de hombre, hazle saber a Jerusalén sus prácticas repugnantes.
2 “Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;
3 Di: Esto es lo que ha dicho el Señor a Jerusalén: Tu origen y tu nacimiento están en la tierra de los cananeos. Tu padre era amorreo y tu madre hitita.
3 and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says to Jerusalem: “Your origin and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite. An Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.
4 El día que naciste, nadie cortó tu cordón ni te lavó con agua para limpiarte. No te frotaron con sal ni te envolvieron en vendas de lino.
4 As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut. You weren’t washed in water to cleanse you. You weren’t salted at all, nor wrapped in blankets at all.
5 Nadie tuvo compasión de ti para hacerte alguna de estas cosas o mostrarte bondad. Te arrojaron al campo porque, al nacer, tu vida fue despreciada.
5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, because you were abhorred in the day that you were born.
6 Pasé junto a ti y te vi tendida en tu sangre. Te dije: Aunque estés tendida en tu sangre, ¡vive!
6 “‘“When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’ Yes, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’
7 Crece y multiplícate como los brotes del campo. Creciste, te hiciste grande y llegaste a la edad del amor. Se formaron tus pechos y te creció el cabello, pero seguías desnuda, sin ropa.
7 I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent beauty. Your breasts were formed, and your hair grew; yet you were naked and bare.
8 Pasé junto a ti y te miré. Vi que habías llegado a la edad del amor. Extendí mi manto sobre ti y cubrí tu cuerpo desnudo. Te hice un juramento y establecí un pacto contigo, dice el Señor. Así llegaste a ser mía.
8 “‘“Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my garment over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I pledged myself to you and entered into a covenant with you,” says the Lord Yahweh, “and you became mine.
9 Te lavé con agua, te limpié la sangre y te froté con aceite.
9 “‘“Then I washed you with water. Yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 Te vestí con ropa bordada y te puse zapatos de cuero. Te envolví en lino fino y te cubrí de seda.
10 I clothed you also with embroidered work and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
11 Te embellecí con adornos. Te puse joyas en las manos y una cadena en el cuello.
11 I decked you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands, and put a chain on your neck.
12 Te puse un anillo en la nariz, aretes en las orejas y una hermosa corona en la cabeza.
12 I put a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Te adornaste con oro y plata. Vestías el mejor lino, seda y ropa bordada. Comías la mejor harina, miel y aceite. Eras muy hermosa.
13 Thus you were decked with gold and silver. Your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered work. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.
14 Tu belleza te hizo famosa entre todas las naciones. Era perfecta por la gloria que yo había puesto sobre ti, dice el Señor.
14 Your renown went out among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,” says the Lord Yahweh.
15 Pero confiaste en tu belleza y, por tu fama, te prostituiste. Ofreciste tu amor a todo el que pasaba, fuera quien fuera.
15 “‘“But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by. It was his.
16 Tomaste tus vestidos e hiciste santuarios en los lugares altos, adornados de todos los colores. Allí te prostituiste sin vergüenza ni miedo.
16 You took some of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them. This shouldn’t happen, neither shall it be.
17 Tomaste las hermosas joyas, mi plata y mi oro que yo te había dado, e hiciste imágenes de hombres. Te prostituiste con ellas.
17 You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them.
18 Tomaste tus vestidos bordados para cubrirlas y pusiste delante de ellas mi aceite y mi incienso.
18 You took your embroidered garments, covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
19 También pusiste ante ellas, como ofrenda de aroma agradable, el pan que te di: la mejor harina, el aceite y la miel con que te alimentaba, dice el Señor.
19 My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and so it was,” says the Lord Yahweh.
20 Tomaste a los hijos y a las hijas que habías tenido conmigo y se los ofreciste como alimento. ¿Era tan poca cosa tu prostitución
20 “‘“Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,
21 que mataste a mis hijos y los entregaste a esas imágenes, haciéndolos pasar por el fuego?
21 that you have slain my children and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
22 En todas tus prácticas repugnantes y tu conducta infiel, no recordaste tus primeros días, cuando estabas desnuda, sin ropa, tendida en tu sangre.
22 In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.
23 Después de toda tu maldad, dice el Señor,
23 “‘“It has happened after all your wickedness—woe, woe to you!” says the Lord Yahweh—
24 te construiste una habitación con arcos en cada plaza.
24 “that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.
25 Levantaste tus santuarios en los lugares altos al comienzo de cada calle. Convertiste tu belleza en algo repugnante y abriste las piernas a todo el que pasaba, aumentando tu prostitución.
25 You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.
26 Te prostituiste con los egipcios, tus vecinos de cuerpos grandes. Aumentaste tu prostitución y provocaste mi ira.
26 You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.
27 Por eso extendí mi mano contra ti y reduje tu provisión. Te entregué a la voluntad de quienes te odiaban, las hijas de los filisteos, que se avergüenzan de tu prostitución.
27 See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your portion, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.
28 Te prostituiste con los asirios porque tu deseo no tenía medida. Te prostituiste con ellos, pero no quedaste satisfecha.
28 You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied.
29 Seguiste prostituyéndote hasta la tierra de Caldea, y aun así no quedaste satisfecha.
29 You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.
30 ¡Qué débil es tu corazón, dice el Señor! Haces todas estas cosas como una prostituta dominante.
30 “‘“How weak is your heart,” says the Lord Yahweh, “since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;
31 Construiste tu habitación con arcos al comienzo de cada calle y tu santuario en cada plaza. Pero no fuiste como una prostituta que cobra su paga.
31 in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.
32 ¡Fuiste como una esposa infiel que toma amantes extranjeros en lugar de su marido!
32 “‘“Adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband!
33 A las prostitutas les pagan, pero tú les das regalos a tus amantes. Les pagas para que vengan de todas partes a prostituirse contigo.
33 People give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.
34 Tu prostitución es distinta de la de otras mujeres. Nadie te busca para acostarse contigo; tú pagas y a ti no te pagan. En eso eres distinta.
34 You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.”’
35 Por eso, prostituta, escucha la voz del Señor.
35 “Therefore, prostitute, hear Yahweh’s word:
36 Esto es lo que ha dicho el Señor: Diste rienda suelta a tu conducta impura y descubriste tu cuerpo al prostituirte con tus amantes y tus ídolos repugnantes. Derramaste la sangre de tus hijos, que les entregaste.
36 ‘The Lord Yahweh says, “Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;
37 Por eso reuniré a todos los amantes con quienes te deleitaste, a todos los que amaste y a todos los que odiaste. Los reuniré contra ti por todos lados y te desnudaré ante ellos, para que vean tu vergüenza.
37 therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those whom you have loved, with all those whom you have hated. I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38 Te juzgaré como se juzga a las mujeres adúlteras y asesinas. Descargaré contra ti mi furor y mi indignación.
38 I will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
39 Te entregaré en sus manos. Derribarán tu habitación con arcos y destruirán tus santuarios en los lugares altos. Te quitarán la ropa y las hermosas joyas y te dejarán desnuda y avergonzada.
39 I will also give you into their hand, and they will throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places. They will strip you of your clothes and take your beautiful jewels. They will leave you naked and bare.
40 Reunirán una multitud contra ti, te apedrearán y te herirán con sus espadas.
40 They will also bring up a company against you, and they will stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
41 Te quemarán y te castigarán ante los ojos de muchas mujeres. Acabaré con tu prostitución y dejarás de pagar.
41 They will burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you will also give no hire any more.
42 Así terminará mi ira contra ti y se apartará mi indignación. Me calmaré y ya no estaré enojado.
42 So I will cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy will depart from you. I will be quiet, and will not be angry any more.
43 No recordaste los días de tu juventud, sino que me irritaste con todas estas cosas. Por eso haré recaer sobre ti el castigo de tu conducta, dice el Señor. Has cometido esta maldad además de todos tus actos repugnantes.
43 “‘“Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head,” says the Lord Yahweh: “and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.
44 Todos los que repitan dichos acerca de ti dirán: «De tal madre, tal hija».
44 “‘“Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb against you, saying, ‘As is the mother, so is her daughter.’
45 Eres hija de tu madre, que rechazó con desprecio a su marido y a sus hijos. Eres hermana de tus hermanas, que rechazaron con desprecio a sus maridos y a sus hijos. Tu madre era hitita y tu padre amorreo.
45 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Tu hermana mayor es Samaria, que vive a tu izquierda, ella y sus hijas: y tu hermana menor, que vive a tu derecha, es Sodoma y sus hijas.
46 Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.
47 No te limitaste a seguir sus caminos y hacer las cosas repugnantes que ellas hicieron. Como si eso fuera poco, las superaste en maldad en toda tu conducta.
47 Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done their abominations; but soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.
48 Tan cierto como que vivo, dice el Señor, ni tu hermana Sodoma ni sus hijas hicieron lo que tú y tus hijas han hecho.
48 As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
49 Este fue el pecado de tu hermana Sodoma: ella y sus hijas tenían orgullo, comida en abundancia y la tranquilidad de la riqueza, pero no ayudaban al pobre ni al necesitado.
49 “‘“Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters. She also didn’t strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 Eran orgullosas e hicieron lo que me repugnaba. Por eso las eliminé, como has visto.
50 They were arrogant and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it.
51 Samaria no ha cometido ni la mitad de tus pecados. Tus actos repugnantes son más numerosos que los suyos. Con todo lo que has hecho, has conseguido que tus hermanas parezcan más justas que tú.
51 Samaria hasn’t committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.
52 Carga tú también con tu vergüenza, porque has dictado una sentencia favorable a tus hermanas. Tus pecados son más repugnantes que los de ellas; por eso parecen más justas que tú. Avergüénzate y humíllate, pues has hecho que tus hermanas parezcan justas.
52 You also bear your own shame yourself, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you. Yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 Cambiaré la suerte de Sodoma y sus hijas, la de Samaria y sus hijas, y la tuya junto con la de ellas.
53 “‘“I will reverse their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives among them;
54 Así quedarás avergonzada y humillada por todo lo que hiciste, cuando tenga misericordia de ti.
54 that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.
55 Tus hermanas, Sodoma y sus hijas, y Samaria y sus hijas, volverán a su condición anterior. Tú y tus hijas también volverán a su condición anterior.
55 Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former estate; and you and your daughters will return to your former estate.
56 ¿No usabas el nombre de tu hermana Sodoma como juramento en los días de tu orgullo,
56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 antes de que quedara expuesta tu vergüenza? Ahora, como ella, eres motivo de insultos para las hijas de Edom y todos los que te rodean, las hijas de los filisteos que te desprecian por todos lados.
57 before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you all around.
58 Has recibido el castigo de tus planes malvados y tus prácticas repugnantes, dice el Señor.
58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations,” says Yahweh.
59 Esto es lo que ha dicho el Señor: Te trataré como tú has actuado, pues despreciaste el juramento y rompiste el pacto.
59 “‘For the Lord Yahweh says: “I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Sin embargo, recordaré el pacto que hice contigo en tu juventud y estableceré contigo un pacto eterno.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 Recordarás tu conducta y quedarás avergonzada cuando yo tome a tus hermanas, las mayores y las menores, y te las dé como hijas, aunque no por tu pacto.
61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
62 Estableceré mi pacto contigo y sabrás que yo soy el Señor.
62 I will establish my covenant with you. Then you will know that I am Yahweh;
63 Cuando recuerdes estas cosas, quedarás confundida y no volverás a abrir la boca por la vergüenza, cuando yo te perdone todo lo que hiciste, dice el Señor.
63 that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The prophet says to those very Jews, "Thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite." The Amorites were not a nation that gave origin to the Jews.

For touching them of Sodom likewise it is said, that "in pride, and in plenty, and in fullness of bread, they waxed wanton." And they who were in Noah's time, seeing the ark a preparing for so many years, lived on in senseless mirth, forseeing nought of what was coming.

… a charge of whoredom, nevertheless from this grew the root of each of those punishments; which Ezekiel also signified when he said, "But this was the iniquity of Sodom, that she waxed wanton in pride and in fullness of bread, and in abundance of luxury." Thus the Jews also per petrated the greatest wickedness, being driven upon transgression by their …

With this law of condemnation, Ezekiel too was acquainted: wherefore also he said to Jerusalem, "Thou hast justified thy sisters in all thy sins." Thus everywhere is He wont to linger in the Old Testament, as in a favored place.
