< Ezekiel 2 >

1 “Stand up, son of man, because I want to talk to you,” he said to me.
“Levántate, hijo del hombre, porque quiero hablar contigo”, me dijo.
2 As he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and had me stand up. I listened to him speaking to me.
Mientras me hablaba, el Espíritu entró en mí y me hizo levantarme. Le escuché mientras me hablaba.
3 “Son of man,” he told me, “I'm sending you to the people of Israel, a disobedient nation that has rebelled against me. They and their forefathers have continued to rebel against me, even up to today.
“Hijo de hombre”, me dijo, “te envío al pueblo de Israel, una nación desobediente que se ha rebelado contra mí. Ellos y sus antepasados han seguido rebelándose contra mí, hasta hoy.
4 They are pig-headed; they are hard-hearted children. I am sending you to tell them that this is what the Lord God says.
Son cabezas de cerdo; son niños de corazón duro. Te envío a decirles que esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios.
5 Whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious people—they will realize that a prophet has come to them.
“Tanto si escuchan como si no, pues son un pueblo rebelde, se darán cuenta de que ha llegado a ellos un profeta.
6 Son of man, don't be afraid of them or what they say. You don't need to be afraid even though you're surrounded by brambles and thorns, even though you live among scorpions. Don't be afraid of what they say or be discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious family.
“Hijo de hombre, no tengas miedo de ellos ni de lo que digan. No tengas miedo aunque estés rodeado de zarzas y espinas, aunque vivas entre escorpiones. No tengas miedo de lo que digan ni te desanimes por la forma en que te miran, aunque sean una familia rebelde.
7 Just tell them what I say, whether they listen or not, because they're rebels.
Sólo diles lo que yo digo, te escuchen o no, porque son rebeldes.
8 As for you, son of man, pay attention to what I tell you. Don't be rebellious like those rebellious people. Open your mouth and eat what I'm about to give you.”
“En cuanto a ti, hijo de hombre, presta atención a lo que te digo. No seas rebelde como esos rebeldes. Abre la boca y come lo que te voy a dar”.
9 I looked up and saw a hand stretched out to me holding a scroll.
Levanté la vista y vi una mano extendida hacia mí que sostenía un pergamino.
10 He spread it out in front of me, and there written on both the front and back were words of grief, mourning, and tragedy.
Lo extendió frente a mí, y allí, escritas tanto en el anverso como en el reverso, había palabras de dolor, luto y tragedia.
