PDT God's Word for You (Latin American Textual Bible)

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

1 Yahweh’s word came to me again, saying,

2 ¿Por qué repiten ese dicho en la tierra de Israel: Los padres comieron las uvas agrias, y los hijos sufren la dentera?

2 “What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?

3 ¡Vivo Yo! dice ʼAdonay Yavé, que nunca más repetirán ese dicho en Israel.

3 “As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “you shall not use this proverb any more in Israel.

4 Ciertamente todas las almas son mías. Tanto el alma del padre como el alma del hijo son mías. La persona que peque, ésa morirá.

4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul who sins, he shall die.

5 El hombre que es justo, que practica la justicia y la equidad,

5 “But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,

6 que no come en [los altares de] las montañas, ni levanta sus ojos a los ídolos de la Casa de Israel, ni viola a la esposa de su prójimo, ni se une a una mujer en su período menstrual,

6 and has not eaten on the mountains, hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hasn’t defiled his neighbor’s wife, hasn’t come near a woman in her impurity,

7 que no explota a nadie, al deudor le devuelve la prenda empeñada, no roba, da de su pan al hambriento y cubre con su ropa al desnudo,

7 and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

8 que no presta con usura ni cobra intereses, que detiene su mano de la iniquidad, juzga de modo imparcial entre hombre y hombre,

8 he who hasn’t lent to them with interest, hasn’t taken any increase from them, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,

9 anda en mis Ordenanzas, guarda mis Estatutos y los cumple fielmente, ése es justo. Ése ciertamente vivirá, dice ʼAdonay Yavé.

9 has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live,” says the Lord Yahweh.

10 Pero si engendra un hijo ladrón y homicida, o que hace cualquiera de estas cosas,

10 “If he fathers a son who is a robber who sheds blood, and who does any one of these things,

11 aunque no haga las otras, sino come sobre [los altares de] las montañas, o viola la esposa de su prójimo,

11 or who does not do any of those things but has eaten at the mountain shrines and defiled his neighbor’s wife,

12 que oprime al pobre y necesitado, roba, no devuelve la prenda, o levanta sus ojos a los ídolos y comete repugnancia,

12 has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,

13 presta por interés y toma usura, ¿vivirá éste? No vivirá. Hizo todas estas repugnancias y ciertamente morirá. Su sangre caerá sobre él.

13 has lent with interest, and has taken increase from the poor, shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood will be on him.

14 Pero si éste engendra un hijo, que a pesar de que vio todos los pecados de su padre, no los imita,

14 “Now, behold, if he fathers a son who sees all his father’s sins which he has done, and fears, and doesn’t do likewise,

15 no come [sobre los altares] en las montañas, ni levanta sus ojos a los ídolos de la Casa de Israel, no viola a la esposa de su prójimo,

15 who hasn’t eaten on the mountains, hasn’t lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hasn’t defiled his neighbor’s wife,

16 ni oprime a alguno, no retiene la prenda ni roba; que comparte su pan con el hambriento y cubre al desnudo;

16 hasn’t wronged any, hasn’t taken anything to pledge, hasn’t taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

17 que aparta su mano de la iniquidad y no recibe interés ni usura; que guarda mis Estatutos y anda en mis Ordenanzas, ése no morirá por la maldad de su padre. Ciertamente vivirá.

17 who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who hasn’t received interest or increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father. He shall surely live.

18 En cuanto a su padre, porque cometió agravio, despojó con violencia al hermano y cometió en medio de su pueblo lo que no es bueno, ciertamente él morirá por su iniquidad.

18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he will die in his iniquity.

19 Y si dices: ¿Por qué el hijo no lleva el pecado de su padre? Porque el hijo actuó según la Ordenanza y la Justicia, guardó todos mis Estatutos y los cumplió. Ciertamente vivirá.

19 “Yet you say, ‘Why doesn’t the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he will surely live.

20 La persona que peque, ésa morirá. El hijo no recibirá el castigo por la iniquidad del padre, ni el padre recibirá el castigo por la iniquidad del hijo. La justicia del justo estará sobre él, y la perversidad del perverso caerá sobre él.

20 The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.

21 Pero si el perverso se aparta de todos sus pecados que cometió, guarda todos mis Estatutos y hace según la Ordenanza y la Justicia, ciertamente vivirá. No morirá.

21 “But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die.

22 Ninguna de las transgresiones que cometió será recordada contra él. A causa de la justicia que practicó, vivirá.

22 None of his transgressions that he has committed will be remembered against him. In his righteousness that he has done, he shall live.

23 ¿Quiero Yo la muerte del perverso? dice ʼAdonay Yavé. ¿No vivirá si se aparta de sus caminos?

23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” says the Lord Yahweh, “and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?

24 Pero, si el justo se aparta de su justicia, comete repugnancia y hace conforme a todas las repugnancias que comete el perverso, ¿vivirá? Ninguna de las justicias que practicó le será tomada en cuenta. Por su infidelidad que practicó y por el pecado que cometió, por ellos morirá.

24 “But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, should he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done will be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.

25 Y si dices: No es recto el camino de ʼAdonay. Oiga ahora, oh Casa de Israel: ¿Mi camino no es recto? ¿No son sus caminos los que no son rectos?

25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not equal.’ Hear now, house of Israel: Is my way not equal? Aren’t your ways unequal?

26 Cuando el justo se aparta de su justicia y comete iniquidad, muere. A causa de la iniquidad que cometió muere.

26 When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it, then he dies in his iniquity that he has done.

27 Pero al apartarse el perverso de la perversidad que cometió, y actuar según la Ordenanza y la Justicia, salva su vida.

27 Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he will save his soul alive.

28 Porque reflexionó y se apartó de todas sus transgresiones que cometió. Ciertamente vivirá. No morirá.

28 Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live. He shall not die.

29 Si aún la Casa de Israel dice: No es recto el camino de ʼAdonay. Oh Casa de Israel, ¿no son rectos mis caminos? Ciertamente sus caminos no son rectos.

29 Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ House of Israel, aren’t my ways fair? Aren’t your ways unfair?

30 Por tanto oh Casa de Israel, Yo los juzgaré a cada uno según su conducta, dice ʼAdonay Yavé. Conviértanse y apártense de todas sus transgresiones para que la iniquidad no les sea una piedra de tropiezo.

30 “Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions, so iniquity will not be your ruin.

31 ¡Echen de ustedes todas sus transgresiones que cometieron y fórmense un corazón nuevo y un espíritu nuevo! ¿Por qué morirán, oh Casa de Israel?

31 Cast away from you all your transgressions in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit. For why will you die, house of Israel?

32 Porque Yo no me complazco en la muerte de alguno, dice ʼAdonay Yavé. Por tanto conviértanse y vivan.

32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Therefore turn yourselves, and live!

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).
