Ezekiel 3
1 And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children of Israel.
Y me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, come lo que tienes delante; come, come este rollo; y anda luego y habla a la casa de Israel.”
2 And, on my opening my mouth, he made me take the roll as food.
Abrí mi boca, y me dio de comer aquel rollo.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
Y me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, con este rollo que te doy, alimentarás tu vientre y llenarás tus entrañas.” Y yo lo comí, y era en mi boca dulce como miel.
4 And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say my words to them.
Y me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, anda, dirígete a la casa de Israel, y anúnciales mis palabras.
5 For you are not sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;
Porque no eres enviado a un pueblo de habla incomprensible y lengua difícil, sino a la casa de Israel,
6 Not to a number of peoples whose talk is strange and whose language is hard and whose words are not clear to you. Truly, if I sent you to them they would give ear to you.
ni mucho menos a numerosos pueblos de habla incomprensible y lengua difícil, cuyas palabras no puedas entender. Si a tales te enviara, ellos te escucharían.
7 But the children of Israel will not give ear to you; for they have no mind to give ear to me: for all the children of Israel have a hard brow and a stiff heart.
Mas la casa de Israel no querrá escucharte, porque no quieren escucharme a Mí, pues toda la casa de Israel tiene frente obstinada y corazón endurecido.
8 See, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your brow hard against their brows.
He aquí que hago tu rostro duro contra los rostros de ellos, y tu frente dura contra sus frentes.
9 Like a diamond harder than rock I have made your brow: have no fear of them and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.
Hago tu frente como el diamante, más dura que el pedernal; no los temas, ni tengas miedo de sus rostros, pues son una casa rebelde.”
10 Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them.
Y me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, recibe en tu corazón todas mis palabras que voy a decirte y escúchalas con tus oídos.
11 And go now to those who have been taken away as prisoners, to the children of your people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said; if they give ear or if they do not.
Anda y preséntate a los deportados, a los hijos de tu pueblo, y háblales en estos términos: Así dice Yahvé, el Señor, te oigan o no te oigan.”
12 Then I was lifted up by the wind, and at my back the sound of a great rushing came to my ears when the glory of the Lord was lifted up from his place.
Y me levantó el espíritu; y oí detrás de mí un fragor muy fuerte al levantarse la gloria de Yahvé desde su sitio;
13 And there was the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another, and the sound of the wheels at their side, the sound of a great rushing.
y también el ruido de las alas de los seres vivientes, de las cuales la una batía contra la otra, y el ruido de las ruedas junto a ellos, y un estruendo muy fuerte.
14 And the wind, lifting me up, took me away: and I went in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the Lord was strong on me.
Entonces el Espíritu me alzó y me arrebató; iba yo con amargura e indignación en el alma, porque la mano de Yahvé pesaba gravemente sobre mí.
15 Then I came to those who had been taken away as prisoners, who were at Telabib by the river Chebar, and I was seated among them full of wonder for seven days.
Llegué a los cautivos de Tel-Abib, que allí habitaban junto al río Cobar; y donde ellos habitaban, allí me quedé por siete días atónito en medio de ellos.
16 And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Al cabo de los siete días recibí de Yahvé esta palabra:
17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.
“Hijo de hombre, Yo te pongo por atalaya de la casa de Israel; oirás de mi boca la palabra y les amonestarás de mi parte.
18 When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.
Si Yo digo al impío: “De seguro morirás”, y tú no le previnieres ni hablares para amonestar al impío (que se aparte) de su perverso camino y viva, ese impío morirá en su iniquidad; mas Yo demandaré de tu mano su sangre.
19 But if you give the evil-doer word of his danger, and he is not turned from his sin or from his evil way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing; but your life will be safe.
Pero si tú amonestares al impío y este no se convirtiere de su maldad y su perverso camino, él morirá en su iniquidad, mas tú habrás salvado tu alma.
20 Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make you responsible for his blood.
Y cuando un justo se apartare de su justicia cometiendo iniquidad, y Yo le pusiere un tropiezo delante y él muriere porque tú no le amonestaste, en su pecado morirá, y no serán recordadas sus obras buenas que hizo, y Yo demandaré su sangre de tu mano.
21 But if you say to the upright man that he is not to do evil, he will certainly keep his life because he took note of your word; and your life will be safe.
Pero si tú amonestares al justo, para que no peque, y el justo en efecto no pecare más, de seguro vivirá porque se dejó amonestar, y tú habrás salvado tu alma.”
22 And the hand of the Lord was on me there; and he said, Get up and go out into the valley and there I will have talk with you.
Allí vino sobre mí la mano de Yahvé, y me dijo: “Levántate y sal a la llanura, y allí hablaré contigo.”
23 Then I got up and went out into the valley; and I saw the glory of the Lord resting there as I had seen it by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.
Me levanté y salí a la llanura; y allí vi la gloria de Yahvé al modo de la gloria que había visto junto al río Cobar; y caí sobre mi rostro.
24 Then the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and he had talk with me and said to me, Go and keep yourself shut up inside your house.
Y me invadió el Espíritu, y me puso en pie y habló conmigo, diciéndome: “Ve y enciérrate dentro de tu casa.
25 But see, O son of man, I will put bands on you, prisoning you in them, and you will not go out among them:
Y tú, oh hijo de hombre, verás que echarán cuerdas sobre ti y con ellas te atarán, y ya no podrás salir a ellos.
26 And I will make your tongue fixed to the roof of your mouth, so that you have no voice and may not make protests to them: for they are an uncontrolled people.
Haré también que la lengua se te pegue al paladar, de suerte que quedes mudo y no seas ya para ellos un censor; pues son una casa rebelde.
27 But when I have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.
Pero al hablar Yo contigo, te abriré la boca, y les dirás: Así dice Yahvé el Señor: El que quiera oír, que oiga; y el que no quiera oír, no oiga; pues son una casa rebelde.”
