< Ezekiel 3 >

1 He said to me, "Son of man, eat that which you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."
Me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, come lo que encuentres. Come este rollo, y vete, habla a la casa de Israel”.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
Entonces abrí la boca y me hizo comer el rollo.
3 He said to me, "Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your belly with this scroll that I give you." Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, come este rollo que te doy y llena con él tu vientre y tus entrañas”. Luego me lo comí. Era tan dulce como la miel en mi boca.
4 He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
Me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, ve a la casa de Israel y diles mis palabras.
5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
Porque no has sido enviado a un pueblo de habla extraña y de lengua difícil, sino a la casa de Israel —
6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
no a muchos pueblos de habla extraña y de lengua difícil, cuyas palabras no puedes entender. Ciertamente, si te enviara a ellos, te escucharían.
7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.
Pero la casa de Israel no te escuchará, porque no me escuchará a mí; porque toda la casa de Israel es obstinada y dura de corazón.
8 Look, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
He aquí que he endurecido tu rostro contra el de ellos, y tu frente contra la de ellos.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house."
He hecho tu frente como un diamante, más duro que el pedernal. No tengas miedo de ellos, ni te asustes por su aspecto, aunque sean una casa rebelde”.
10 Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
Además, me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, recibe en tu corazón y escucha con tus oídos todas mis palabras que te digo.
11 And go to the exiles, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, 'Thus says YHWH'; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Ve a los del cautiverio, a los hijos de tu pueblo, y háblales, y diles: ‘Esto es lo que dice el Señor Yahvé’, ya sea que escuchen o que se nieguen.”
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, "Blessed be the glory of YHWH from his place."
Entonces el Espíritu me elevó, y oí detrás de mí la voz de un gran estruendo que decía: “Bendita sea la gloria de Yahvé desde su lugar”.
13 I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
Oí el ruido de las alas de los seres vivientes al tocarse unos a otros, y el ruido de las ruedas junto a ellos, el ruido de un gran estruendo.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the anger of my spirit; and the hand of YHWH was strong on me.
Entonces el Espíritu me levantó y me llevó, y me fui en la amargura, en el calor de mi espíritu, y la mano de Yahvé fue fuerte sobre mí.
15 Then I came to them of the exiles at Tel Aviv, that lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
Entonces llegué a los del cautiverio en Tel Aviv que vivían junto al río Chebar, y a donde ellos vivían; y me senté allí agobiado en medio de ellos durante siete días.
16 It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Al cabo de siete días, vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me.
“Hijo de hombre, te he puesto como centinela de la casa de Israel. Escucha, pues, la palabra de mi boca, y adviérteles de mi parte.
18 When I tell the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
Cuando yo le diga al impío: ‘Ciertamente morirás’, y tú no le des aviso, ni hables para prevenir al impío de su mal camino, para salvar su vida, ese impío morirá en su iniquidad; pero yo demandaré su sangre de tu mano.
19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn't turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
Pero si adviertes al impío, y no se convierte de su maldad, ni de su mal camino, morirá en su iniquidad; pero tú has librado tu alma.”
20 "Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
“Además, cuando un justo se aparta de su justicia y comete iniquidad, y yo le pongo un tropiezo, morirá. Por no haberle advertido, morirá en su pecado, y no se recordarán sus obras justas que haya hecho, sino que requeriré su sangre de tu mano.
21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul."
Sin embargo, si adviertes al justo para que no peque, y él no peca, ciertamente vivirá, porque tomó la advertencia; y tú has librado tu alma.”
22 The hand of YHWH was there on me; and he said to me, "Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you."
La mano de Yahvé estaba allí sobre mí y me dijo: “Levántate, sal a la llanura y allí hablaré contigo”.
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and look, the glory of YHWH stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
Entonces me levanté y salí a la llanura, y he aquí que la gloria de Yahvé estaba allí, como la gloria que vi junto al río Chebar. Entonces me postré sobre mi rostro.
24 Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, "Go, shut yourself inside your house.
Entonces el Espíritu entró en mí y me puso en pie. Habló conmigo y me dijo: “Ve, enciérrate en tu casa.
25 But you, son of man, look, they shall lay bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
Pero a ti, hijo de hombre, he aquí que te pondrán cuerdas y te atarán con ellas, y no saldrás entre ellos.
26 and I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.
Haré que tu lengua se pegue al paladar para que quedes mudo y no puedas corregirlos, porque son una casa rebelde.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord YHWH': He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
Pero cuando hable contigo, abriré tu boca y les dirás: “Esto dice el Señor Yahvé”. El que oiga, que oiga; y el que se niegue, que se niegue; porque son una casa rebelde”.
