WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 La Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

2 Hijo de hombre, habla a los hijos de tu pueblo: Cuando Yo traiga la espada sobre una tierra, si el pueblo de la tierra toma a un hombre de su territorio y lo designa como vigilante,

2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,

3 y él ve la espada que llega sobre la tierra, toca la trompeta y da la alarma al pueblo,

3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,

4 cualquiera que al oír el sonido de la trompeta no se aperciba, y al llegar la espada lo mate, su sangre recaerá sobre su cabeza.

4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.

5 Oyó el sonido de la trompeta, pero no se apercibió. Su sangre recaerá sobre él mismo. Pero si se hubiera apercibido habría librado su vida.

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.

6 Pero si el vigilante ve la espada que viene y no toca la trompeta, y el pueblo no se apercibe, y llega la espada y mata a alguno de ellos, éste fue tomado por causa de su pecado, pero Yo demandaré su sangre de mano del vigilante.

6 But if the watchman sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’

7 A ti, hijo de hombre, Yo te designé como vigilante de la Casa de Israel. Oirás la Palabra de mi boca y los amonestarás de mi parte.

7 “So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.

8 Cuando Yo diga al perverso: Perverso, ciertamente morirás, y tú no le adviertas de ello para que se aparte de su mal camino. El perverso morirá por su pecado, pero Yo demandaré su sangre de tu mano.

8 When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.

9 Pero si tú adviertes al perverso para que se aparte de su mal camino, y él no se aparta de ese camino, él morirá por su pecado, pero tú librarás tu vida.

9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.

10 Por tanto tú, hijo de hombre, dí a la Casa de Israel: Ustedes hablan y dicen: Si nuestras transgresiones y nuestros pecados están sobre nosotros, y en ellos desfallecemos, ¿entonces cómo podemos vivir?

10 “You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’

11 Diles: ¡Vivo Yo, dice ʼAdonay Yavé, que no me complazco en la muerte del perverso, sino en que el perverso regrese de su camino y viva! Devuélvanse, devuélvanse de sus malos caminos. ¿Por qué deben morir, oh Casa de Israel?

11 Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’

12 Tú, oh hijo de hombre, dí a los hijos de tu pueblo: La justicia del justo no lo librará el día de su transgresión. La perversidad del perverso no le será estorbo el día cuando regrese de su perversidad. El justo no podrá vivir por su justicia el día cuando peque.

12 “You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.

13 Cuando Yo diga al justo: Ciertamente vivirás, y él confiado en su justicia cometa iniquidad, ninguna de sus obras de justicia será recordada, sino morirá porque cometió iniquidad.

13 When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.

14 Cuando Yo diga al perverso: Ciertamente morirás, si él se convierte de su pecado y hace lo que es lícito y justo;

14 Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,

15 si el perverso restituye la prenda, devuelve lo robado, y camina según los Estatutos que aseguran la vida, sin cometer iniquidad, ciertamente vivirá, no morirá.

15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.

16 Ninguno de los pecados que cometió se recordará contra él. Practicó equidad y justicia. Ciertamente vivirá.

16 None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.

17 Pero los hijos de tu pueblo dicen: ¡No es correcto el procedimiento de ʼAdonay! Pero el que no es recto es el camino de ellos.

17 “‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.

18 Cuando el justo se aparta de su justicia, y comete iniquidad, morirá por ello.

18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.

19 Pero cuando el perverso se aparta de su perversidad y practica equidad y justicia, vivirá por ellas.

19 When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.

20 Sin embargo dices: No es justo el procedimiento de ʼAdonay. Oh Casa de Israel, Yo los juzgaré a cada uno de ustedes según sus propios procedimientos.

20 Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”

21 El año duodécimo de nuestro cautiverio, el mes décimo, a los cinco días del mes, aconteció que vino a mí uno que escapó de Jerusalén, y me dijo: ¡La ciudad fue capturada!

21 In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”

22 Al llegar la noche, antes de llegar el fugitivo, la mano de Yavé estuvo sobre mí y abrió mi boca antes que llegara la mañana siguiente. Al abrir mi boca, ya no estuve callado.

22 Now Yahweh’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.

23 Y la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

23 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

24 Hijo de hombre, los que viven en aquellos lugares desolados de la tierra de Israel dicen: Abraham era uno solo, pero poseyó la tierra. Así que a nosotros, que somos muchos, la tierra nos fue dada como una posesión.

24 “Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’

25 Por tanto diles: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Ustedes comen carne con la sangre, levantan sus ojos a sus ídolos y derraman sangre. ¿Y ustedes poseerán la tierra?

25 Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?

26 Confían en su espada, cometen repugnancias, cada uno de ustedes contamina a la esposa de su prójimo. ¿Deben ustedes poseer la tierra?

26 You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’

27 Les dirás esto: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: Vivo Yo, que los que estén en aquellas ruinas ciertamente caerán a espada. Al que esté en campo abierto lo entregaré a las fieras para que lo devoren y los que estén en las fortalezas y en las cuevas morirán de pestilencia.

27 “You shall tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.

28 Convertiré la tierra en desierto y en desolación. Cesará el orgullo de su poderío. Las montañas de Israel serán asoladas de tal modo que nadie pase.

28 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.

29 Entonces sabrán que Yo soy Yavé, cuando convierta la tierra en desolación y desierto, por todas las repugnancias que cometieron.

29 Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’

30 En cuanto a ti, hijo de hombre, los hijos de tu pueblo se burlan de ti junto a los muros y en las puertas de las casas. Se dicen unos a otros, cada uno a su hermano: ¡Vengan ahora y oigan cual Palabra nos llega de Yavé!

30 “As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from Yahweh.’

31 Llegan a ti con desorden ruidoso, se sientan delante de ti como pueblo mío y oyen tus palabras, pero no las cumplen, porque con sus bocas dicen halagos, pero sus corazones andan tras su avaricia.

31 They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.

32 Mira, para ellos eres un cantante de amores, de buena voz y que canta bien: oyen tus palabras, pero no las practican.

32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.

33 Por tanto cuando pase esto, y ciertamente pasará, sabrán que un profeta estuvo entre ellos.

33 “When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”

“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).

These selfish persons have more cause to fear than those to whom it was said through the prophet, "He is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand." For watchmen or overseers of the people are appointed in churches, that they may unsparingly rebuke sin.
