1 Luego me vino de nuevo un mensaje del Señor:
1 Again Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2 «Hombre mortal, me dijo, recrimina a Jerusalén por sus horribles maldades. Comunícales que el Señor dice:
2 “Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;
3 ¡Tú no eres mejor que la gente de Canaán, tu padre debe haber sido un amorreo y tu madre una 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 Cuando naciste nadie te cuidó como es debido. Cuando primero te vi, tu cordón umbilical no había sido cortado, ni se te había lavado, ni frotado con sal, ni fajado, como es la costumbre en estos casos.
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 tenía el menor interés en ti; nadie se compadeció de ti ni te cuidó. En aquel día en que naciste fuiste arrojada en el campo y dejada para morir.
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 »Pero yo pasé por allí y te vi cubierta con tu propia sangre y te dije: ¡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 ¡Florece como una planta en el campo! ¡Y así fue! Creciste y te hiciste grande, delgada y flexible, ¡una chica realmente hermosa! Y cuando llegaste a la pubertad tus pechos estaban bien formados y tu vello púbico había crecido; pero estabas desnuda.
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 »Más tarde, cuando yo pasé y te vi de nuevo, ya tenías edad como para casarte, y yo tendí sobre ti mi manto como es la costumbre para declarar legalmente mi voto de matrimonio. Firmé un convenio contigo y 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 Luego, cuando el casamiento había tenido lugar, yo te di hermosas ropas de lino y seda, bordadas, y sandalias hechas de fina piel.
9 “‘“Then I washed you with water. Yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 Not in this translation
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 di hermosas joyas, brazaletes y primorosos collares,
11 I decked you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands, and put a chain on your neck.
12 un anillo para tu nariz y dos más para tus orejas, y una espléndida diadema para tu cabeza.
12 I put a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Y así fuiste hecha aun más hermosa con oro y plata, y tus vestidos eran de seda y lino finamente bordados. Comías los manjares más exquisitos y llegaste a ser más hermosa aún. Parecías una reina, ¡y lo eras!
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 reputación era grande entre las naciones por tu hermosura; tu hermosura se veía perfecta debido a todo lo que yo te había dado, dice el Señor Dios.
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 luego pensaste que podías valerte sola, y confiaste en tu hermosura, y te diste como prostituta a cada hombre que pasaba. Tu hermosura era de cualquiera, si te lo pedían.
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 Empleaste las cosas hermosas que yo te había dado para hacer altares a los ídolos y para decorar tu cama de prostitución. ¡Increíble! ¡Jamás ha sucedido algo así antes!
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 mismas joyas y adornos de oro y plata que yo te di e hiciste de ellas estatuas de hombres y les rendiste homenaje como si fueran dioses, lo que es adulterio contra mí.
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 Empleaste la ropa finamente bordada que yo te di ¡para cubrir tus ídolos! ¡Y usaste mi aceite y mi perfume para rendirles homenaje!
18 You took your embroidered garments, covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
19 Colocaste ante ellos —¡increíble!— la harina fina, el aceite y la miel que yo te di, y los usaste como ofrenda para ellos.
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 »También tomaste a mis hijos e hijas, los que habías engendrado para mí, y los sacrificaste ritualmente a tus dioses; y ya no están más. ¿No bastaba con que fueras una prostituta? ¿Tenías que haber llegado a tal extremo de maldad?
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 ¿Debías también sacrificar a mis hijos en el fuego de los altares idolátricos?
21 that you have slain my children and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
22 Y en todos estos años de adulterio y maldad no has pensado en aquellos días de hace tanto tiempo, cuando estabas desnuda y cubierta con 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 »Y luego, además de todas tus otras perversidades, ¡ay de ti, dice el Señor Dios,
23 “‘“It has happened after all your wickedness—woe, woe to you!” says the Lord Yahweh—
24 construiste un espacioso burdel para tus amantes, y altares para los ídolos en cada calle,
24 “that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.
25 y allí ofreciste tu hermosura a cada hombre que pasaba, en una corriente interminable de 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 Y agregaste a tu lista de amantes a los egipcios, de grandes penes, con quienes te aliaste en tu prostitución. ¡Mi cólera es grande!
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 tanto yo te he aplastado con mi puño, he reducido tus límites y te he entregado en poder de aquellos que te odian, los filisteos, y aun ellos se avergüenzan de tu desenfreno.
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 Has cometido adulterio con los asirios también, haciéndolos tus aliados y rindiendo homenaje a sus dioses; parece como si nunca pudieras encontrar suficientes dioses nuevos. Después de tu adulterio allí, todavía no estabas 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 así que rendiste homenaje también a los dioses de esa tierra de comerciantes, Babilonia, y aún así no estabas 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 corazón tan ligero tienes, dice el Señor Dios, para hacer semejantes cosas, que ni la prostituta más descarada se atrevería a realizar.
30 “‘“How weak is your heart,” says the Lord Yahweh, “since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;
31 Construyendo tus altares a los ídolos, tus burdeles sobre cada calle, has sido peor que una prostituta, ¡tan deseosa de cometer tus maldades que ni siquiera has cobrado por tu entrega!
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 »¡Sí, tú eres una esposa adúltera, que vives con otros hombres en vez de vivir con tu propio marido!
32 “‘“Adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband!
33 Las prostitutas cobran por sus servicios; los hombres pagan con muchos regalos, pero no a ti, al contrario ¡tú les das regalos a ellos, sobornándoles para que vengan a ti!
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 Así eres distinta de las demás prostitutas, pues eres tú la que pagas a los hombres para que vengan a ti.
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 »¡Oh prostituta! oye la palabra del Señor, quien dice:
35 “Therefore, prostitute, hear Yahweh’s word:
36 Como yo veo tus actos malvados, tu adulterio con tus amantes, tu devoción a los ídolos y el ofrecimiento de tus hijos como sacrificio ritual a tus dioses,
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 esto es lo que voy a hacer: Juntaré a todos tus aliados, esos amantes tuyos con quienes has fornicado, tanto los que amaste como los que aborreciste, y te desnudaré ante ellos para que te vean humillada y te avergüences.
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 castigaré como una asesina es castigada y como se hace con una mujer que atenta contra el matrimonio viviendo con otros hombres.
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 a tus amantes, estas muchas naciones, para que seas destruida, y ellos echarán abajo tus burdeles y altares, y te desnudarán y se llevarán tus hermosas joyas, dejándote 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 Luego te entregarán a la chusma para que te arrojen piedras y te hieran a cuchilladas.
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 Ellos quemarán tus hogares, castigándote ante los ojos de muchas mujeres. Y yo me aseguraré de que detengas tus adulterios con otros dioses, y que termines tu costumbre de pagar a tus aliados para que acepten tu entrega.
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 Entonces, por fin, cesarán mi cólera y mi celo contra ti, y me tranquilizaré y ya no estaré enojado contigo.
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 Pero primero, como no te has acordado de tu juventud sino que has provocado mi cólera con todas estas cosas perversas que haces, yo te pagaré en pleno por todas tus maldades, dice el Señor. Porque además de tus otras faltas, eres desagradecida.
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 »“De tal madre, tal hija”, eso es lo que todo el mundo dirá de ti.
44 “‘“Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb against you, saying, ‘As is the mother, so is her daughter.’
45 Porque tu madre aborreció a su esposo y a sus hijos, así como tú también lo haces. Y eres exactamente como tus hermanas, pues ellas también despreciaron a sus esposos y a sus hijos. ¡Verdaderamente, tu madre tiene que haber sido una hitita y tu padre un 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, y vive con sus hijas hacia el norte tuyo; tu hermana menor es Sodoma, y vive con sus hijas en el sur.
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 le has ido a la zaga a la hora de cometer maldades, sino que en poco tiempo las sobrepasaste a ellas!
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 ¡Lo digo con pleno convencimiento, dice el Señor Dios, que Sodoma y sus hijas jamás han sido tan perversas como los son tú y tus hijas!
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 El pecado de tu hermana Sodoma fue el orgullo, la ociosidad y el exceso de comida mientras los pobres y necesitados sufrían afuera de sus puertas sin que ella les prestara atención.
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 Ella insolentemente rindió homenaje a muchos ídolos mientras yo observaba. Por eso la aplasté.
50 They were arrogant and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it.
51 Ni siquiera Samaria ha cometido la mitad de tus perversidades. Tú has rendido homenaje a los ídolos mucho más y con mayor devoción de lo que lo han hecho tus hermanas; ¡casi parecen blancas palomas comparadas contigo!
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 No te sorprendas pues por el castigo más leve que ellas reciben. ¡Pues tus maldades son tan terribles que en comparación contigo, tus hermanas parecen inocentes!
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 »(Pero algún día restauraré la prosperidad de Sodoma y Samaria, y la de Judá también).
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 Tu terrible castigo será un consuelo para ellas, porque será mayor que el suyo.
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 ¡Sí, tus hermanas Sodoma y Samaria y toda su gente serán restauradas nuevamente, y Judá también prosperará en aquel día!
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 En los días de tu orgullo tenías un profundo desprecio por Sodoma, y te burlabas de ella.
56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 Pero ahora tu perversidad mayor ha quedado expuesta ante todo el mundo, y tú eres objeto de desdén y burla de parte de Edom y sus vecinos y de todos los filisteos.
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 Esto es parte de tu castigo por todas tus maldades, dice el Señor.
58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations,” says Yahweh.
59 »El Señor Dios dice: ¡Yo te castigaré por todas tus promesas no cumplidas! Livianamente quebraste tus solemnes votos hacia mí;
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, yo mantendré el compromiso que hice contigo cuando eras joven. Yo estableceré un convenio para siempre contigo,
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 y te acordarás con vergüenza de todo el mal que has hecho. Entonces serás conmovida por mi favor hacia ti cuando tome a tus hermanas Samaria y Sodoma y las haga tus hijas, para que tú reines sobre ellas. Sabrás que no mereces este acto de gracia, porque no fuiste fiel al convenio que hiciste conmigo.
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 Reafirmaré mi convenio 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 A pesar de todo lo que has hecho, yo seré bondadoso contigo de nuevo. Bajarás tu rostro avergonzada cuando yo te perdone de todo lo malo que has hecho, dice el Señor Dios».
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 …
