Ezequiel 24
La Biblia de las Américas
La olla hirviente
24 Y vino a mí la palabra del Señor en el año noveno, el mes décimo, a los diez días del mes, diciendo: 2 Hijo de hombre, escribe la fecha del día, del día de hoy. Este mismo día el rey de Babilonia ha avanzado contra Jerusalén(A). 3 Relata una parábola(B) a la casa rebelde y diles: «Así dice el Señor Dios[a](C):
“Pon la olla, ponla,
y echa también en ella agua(D);
4 pon en ella los[b] trozos,
todo trozo bueno, pierna y espalda;
llénala de huesos escogidos(E).
5 Toma lo mejor del rebaño(F),
y apila también la leña[c] debajo de ella;
hazla hervir a borbotones,
cuece también sus huesos en ella”.
6 »Porque así dice el Señor Dios:
“¡Ay de la ciudad sanguinaria(G),
de la olla que tiene herrumbre,
cuya herrumbre no se le va!
Trozo por trozo sácala,
sin echar suertes sobre ella.
7 Porque su sangre está en medio de ella(H),
la puso sobre la roca[d] desnuda;
no la derramó sobre la tierra
para que el polvo la cubriera.
8 Para hacer subir el furor,
para tomar venganza,
he puesto yo su sangre sobre la roca[e] desnuda,
para que no sea cubierta(I)”.
9 Por tanto, así dice el Señor Dios:
“¡Ay de la ciudad sanguinaria(J)!
Yo también haré grande el montón de leña.
10 Aumenta la leña, enciende el fuego,
hierve[f] bien la carne,
mézclale las especias,
y que se quemen los huesos.
11 Luego pon la olla[g] vacía sobre las[h] brasas(K),
para que se caliente,
se ponga al rojo[i] su bronce,
se funda en ella su inmundicia,
y sea consumida su herrumbre(L).
12 De trabajos me ha fatigado,
y no se le ha ido su mucha herrumbre(M).
¡Consúmase en el fuego su herrumbre!
13 En tu inmundicia hay lujuria.
Por cuanto yo quise limpiarte
pero no te dejaste limpiar(N),
no volverás a ser purificada de tu inmundicia(O),
hasta que yo haya saciado[j] mi furor sobre ti.
14 Yo, el Señor, he hablado. Esto viene y yo actuaré(P); no me volveré atrás, no me apiadaré y no me arrepentiré(Q). Según tus caminos y según tus obras te juzgaré[k]” —declara el Señor Dios(R)».
Muerte de la mujer de Ezequiel
15 Y vino a mí la palabra del Señor, diciendo: 16 Hijo de hombre, he aquí, voy a quitarte de golpe el encanto de tus ojos(S); pero no te lamentarás(T), ni llorarás(U), ni correrán tus lágrimas(V). 17 Gime en silencio, no hagas duelo por los muertos(W); átate el turbante, ponte el calzado en los pies y no te cubras los bigotes ni comas pan de duelo[l](X). 18 Y hablé al pueblo por la mañana, y por la tarde murió mi mujer; y a la mañana siguiente hice como me fue mandado. 19 Y el pueblo me dijo: ¿No nos declararás lo que significan para nosotros estas cosas que estás haciendo? 20 Entonces les respondí: La palabra del Señor vino a mí, diciendo: 21 «Habla a la casa de Israel: “Así dice el Señor Dios: ‘He aquí, voy a profanar mi santuario, orgullo de vuestra fuerza, encanto de vuestros ojos(Y) y deleite de vuestra alma; y vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas a quienes habéis dejado detrás, caerán a espada(Z). 22 +’Haréis como yo he hecho; no cubriréis vuestros bigotes ni comeréis pan de duelo[m]. 23 +’Vuestros turbantes estarán sobre vuestras cabezas y vuestro calzado en vuestros pies. No os lamentaréis ni lloraréis(AA), sino que os pudriréis en vuestras iniquidades y gemiréis unos con otros[n](AB). 24 +’Os servirá, pues, Ezequiel de señal; según todo lo que él ha hecho, haréis vosotros; cuando esto suceda, sabréis que yo soy el Señor Dios(AC)’”.
25 »Y tú, hijo de hombre, ¿no será que el día en que les quite su fortaleza, el gozo de su gloria[o], el encanto de sus ojos, el anhelo[p] de su alma, y a sus hijos y a sus hijas(AD), 26 en ese día el que escape vendrá a ti con noticias(AE) para tus oídos? 27 En ese día se abrirá tu boca para el que escapó, y hablarás y dejarás de estar mudo(AF). Y servirás para ellos de señal, y sabrán que yo soy el Señor».

Ezekiel 24
Authorized (King James) Version
24 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day. 3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it: 4 gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. 5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it. 7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; 8 that it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great. 10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. 11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed. 12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire. 13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee. 14 I the Lord have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord God.
15 Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. 17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men. 18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so? 20 Then I answered them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword. 22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another. 24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord God.
25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, 26 that he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears? 27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Ezekiel 24
King James Version
24 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
9 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
14 I the Lord have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord God.
15 Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.
18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
20 Then I answered them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
22 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord God.
25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
26 That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
