1 Moreover, the Spirite lift me vp, and brought me vnto the East gate of the Lordes house, which lyeth Eastwarde, and beholde, at the entrie of the gate were fiue and twentie men: among whome I sawe Iaazaniah the sonne of Azur, and Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah, the princes of the people.
1 Y EL espíritu me elevó, y metióme por la puerta oriental de la casa de Jehová, la cual mira hacia el oriente: y he aquí á la entrada de la puerta veinticinco varones, entre los cuales vi á Jaazanías hijo de Azur, y á Pelatías hijo de Benaías, príncipes del pueblo.
1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of Yahweh’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 Then said he vnto me, Sonne of man, these are the men that imagine mischiefe, and deuise wicked counsell in this citie.
2 Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, estos son los hombres que maquinan perversidad, y dan en esta ciudad mal consejo;
2 He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
3 For they say, It is not neere, let vs builde houses: this citie is the caldron, and wee be the flesh.
3 Los cuales dicen: No [será] tan presto: edifiquemos casas: ésta [será] la caldera, y nosotros la carne.
3 who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
4 Therefore prophesie against them, sonne of man, prophesie.
4 Por tanto profetiza contra ellos, profetiza, hijo del hombre.
4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
5 And the Spirite of the Lord fell vpon me, and said vnto me, Speake, Thus saith the Lord, O ye house of Israel, this haue ye said, and I know that which riseth vp of your mindes.
5 Y cayó sobre mí el espíritu de Jehová, y díjome: Di: Así ha dicho Jehová: Así habéis hablado, oh casa de Israel, y las cosas que suben á vuestro espíritu, [yo] las he entendido.
5 Yahweh’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘Yahweh says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 Many haue ye murthered in this citie, and ye haue filled the streets thereof with the slaine.
6 Habéis multiplicado vuestros muertos en esta ciudad, y habéis henchido de muertos sus calles.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, They that ye haue slaine, and haue layed in the middes of it, they are the flesh, and this citie is the caldron, but I wil bring you foorth of the mids of it.
7 Por tanto, así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Vuestros muertos que habéis puesto en medio de ella, ellos son la carne, y ella es la caldera; mas yo os sacaré á vosotros de en medio de ella.
7 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
8 Ye haue feared the sworde, and I wil bring a sworde vpon you, saith the Lord God.
8 Cuchillo habéis temido, y cuchillo traeré sobre vosotros, dice el Señor Jehová.
8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord Yahweh.
9 And I will bring you out of the middes thereof, and deliuer you into the hands of strangers, and will execute iudgements among you.
9 Y os sacaré de en medio de ella, y os entregaré en manos de extraños, y yo haré juicios en vosotros.
9 “I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 Ye shall fall by the sworde, and I wil iudge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
10 A cuchillo caeréis; en el término de Israel os juzgaré, y sabréis que yo soy Jehová.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
11 This citie shall not be your caldron, neyther shall ye be the flesh in the middes thereof, but I will iudge you in the border of Israel.
11 Esta no os será por caldera, ni vosotros seréis en medio de ella la carne: en el término de Israel os tengo de juzgar.
11 This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
12 And ye shall knowe that I am the Lord: for ye haue not walked in my statutes, neither executed my iudgements, but haue done after the maners of the heathen, that are round about you.
12 Y sabréis que yo soy Jehová: porque no habéis andado en mis ordenanzas, ni habéis hecho mis juicios, sino según los juicios de las gentes que están en vuestros alrededores habéis hecho.
12 You will know that I am Yahweh, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”
13 And when I prophesied, Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah dyed: then fell I downe vpon my face, and cryed with a loude voyce, and saide, Ah Lord God, wilt thou then vtterly destroy all the remnant of Israel?
13 Y aconteció que, estando yo profetizando, Pelatías hijo de Benaías murió. Entonces caí sobre mi rostro, y clamé con grande voz, y dije: ¡Ah, Señor Jehová! ¿harás tú consumación del resto de Israel?
13 When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
14 Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
14 Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
14 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
15 Sonne of man, thy brethren, euen thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, wholy are they vnto whome the inhabitants of Ierusalem haue said, Depart ye farre from the Lord: for the lande is giuen vs in possession.
15 Hijo del hombre, tus hermanos, tus hermanos, los hombres de tu parentesco y toda la casa de Israel, toda ella [son aquellos] á quienes dijeron los moradores de Jerusalem: Alejaos de Jehová; á nosotros es dada la tierra en posesión.
15 “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from Yahweh. This land has been given to us for a possession.’
16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, Although I haue cast them farre off among the heathen, and although I haue scattered them among the countreis, yet wil I be to them as a litle Sanctuarie in ye countreis where they shall come.
16 Por tanto di: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Aunque los he echado lejos entre las gentes, y los he esparcido por las tierras, con todo eso les seré por un pequeño santuario en las tierras á donde llegaren.
16 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’
17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, I will gather you againe from the people, and assemble you out of the countreis where ye haue bene scattered, and I will giue you ye land of Israel.
17 Di por tanto: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Yo os recogeré de los pueblos, y os allegaré de las tierras en las cuales estáis esparcidos, y os daré la tierra de Israel.
17 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the idoles thereof, and all the abominations thereof from thence.
18 Y vendrán allá, y quitarán de ella todas sus torpezas, y todas sus abominaciones.
18 “‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
19 And I will giue them one heart, and I will put a newe spirit within their bowels: and I will take the stonie heart out of their bodies, and will giue them an heart of flesh,
19 Y darles he un corazón, y espíritu nuevo daré en sus entrañas; y quitaré el corazón de piedra de su carne, y daréles corazón de carne;
19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
20 That they may walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements, and execute them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
20 Para que anden en mis ordenanzas, y guarden mis juicios y los cumplan, y me sean por pueblo, y yo sea á ellos por Dios.
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
21 But vpon them, whose heart is towarde their idoles, and whose affection goeth after their abominations, I will lay their way vpon their owne heades, saith the Lord God.
21 Mas á aquellos cuyo corazón anda tras el deseo de sus torpezas y de sus abominaciones, yo tornaré su camino sobre sus cabezas, dice el Señor Jehová.
21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”
22 Then did the Cherubims lift vp their wings, and the wheeles besides them, and the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hie.
22 Después alzaron los querubines sus alas, y las ruedas en pos de ellos; y la gloria del Dios de Israel estaba sobre ellos encima.
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 And the glorie of the Lord went vp from the middes of the citie, and stoode vpon the moutaine which is towarde the East side of the citie.
23 Y la gloria de Jehová se fué de en medio de la ciudad, y paró sobre el monte que está al oriente de la ciudad.
23 Yahweh’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 Afterwarde the Spirite tooke me vp, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Caldea to them that were led away captiues: so the vision that I had seene, went vp from me.
24 Luego me levantó el espíritu, y volvióme á llevar en visión del espíritu de Dios á la tierra de los Caldeos, á los trasportados. Y partióse de mí la visión que había visto.
24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the captives. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 Then I declared vnto them that were led away captiues, all the things that the Lord had shewed me.
25 Y hablé á los trasportados todas las palabras de Jehová que él me había mostrado.
25 Then I spoke to the captives all the things that Yahweh had shown me.

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).
Ezekiel also speaks thus, The Spirit of the Lord came upon me, and said unto me, Thus saith the Lord.

Also thou hast in Ezekiel (if thou be not now weary of listening), what has already been quoted, And the Spirit fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the Lord.

And again in Ezekiel, And he brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldæa, to them of the captivity.
