Ezekiel 3
1 He said to me, “You human, eat this scroll that is in front of you. Then go and speak to the Israeli people [MTY].”
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 gave me the scroll to eat it.
Entonces abrí la boca y me hizo comer el rollo.
3 Then he said to me, “You human, eat the scroll that I have given to you. Fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and in my mouth it tasted as sweet as honey.
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 Then he said to me, “You human, go to the Israeli people [MTY] and tell them my message.
Me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, ve a la casa de Israel y diles mis palabras.
5 The people to whom I am sending you are not people whose language is very [to learn], a language which you do not understand. I am sending you to your Israeli people [MTY].
Porque no has sido enviado a un pueblo de habla extraña y de lengua difícil, sino a la casa de Israel —
6 I am sending you to people whose language you understand very well. If I were sending you to people whose language was difficult for you to understand, they [be surprised and] pay attention to what [say to them].
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 Israeli people do not want to listen to you because they do not want to listen to me. [They do not want to listen because] they are all very stubborn [DOU].
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 But I will enable you [SYN] to be as stubborn and tough as they are.
He aquí que he endurecido tu rostro contra el de ellos, y tu frente contra la de ellos.
9 I will cause you to be as firm/unbreakable as [SIM] the hardest stone, like flint. So, [even though] they are very rebellious people, do not be afraid of them; do not allow them to cause you to be afraid.”
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 He also said to me, “You human, listen very carefully to what I say, and keep thinking about it [IDM].
Además, me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, recibe en tu corazón y escucha con tus oídos todas mis palabras que te digo.
11 Go to your fellow Israelis who [here after being] (exiled/forced to leave their country), and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and then tell them my message], whether they want to hear it or whether they do not want to hear it.”
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 [in the vision] the [of God] lifted me up, and I heard behind [someone speaking very loudly], like a loud rumbling sound. [I heard someone say, ] “Praise our glorious Yahweh in the place where he [in heaven]!”
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 sound of the wings of the four living creatures brushing against each other, [I also heard] the sound of the wheels that were beside them. It was a loud rumbling sound.
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 The Spirit took me away. Within me I was very bitter and angry [DOU], but I felt Yahweh holding me very powerfully.
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 I came to the exiles who lived at Tel [town] near the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Then, where they were living, I sat for seven days. I was [about everything that I had seen].
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 After those seven days had ended, Yahweh gave me this message:
Al cabo de siete días, vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:
17 “You human, I am appointing [to be like] a watchman [MET] for the Israeli people [MTY]. [So] listen to these messages that I will give you, and tell them those messages to warn them.
“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 say about some wicked people, ‘They will surely [because of their sins],’ if you do not warn them or tell them that they must turn from their wicked behavior if they want to (save their lives/remain alive), those wicked people will die because of the sins that they have committed, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
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 But if you warn the wicked people and they do not turn from all their wicked behavior [DOU], they will die because of their sins, but you will have saved [from my punishing you].
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 Similarly, when righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and do evil deeds, I will cause bad things to happen [IDM] to them. [But you must warn them. If you do not warn them], and if they do not stop their sinful behavior, they will die because of their sins; I will not think about the righteous things that they [previously], but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
“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 But if you warn righteous people not to sin, and they do not sin, they will surely remain alive because they [your] warning, and you will have saved [from my punishing you].”
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 [I felt] Yahweh take control [MTY] of me, and he said to me, “Get up and go [from the city down] to the plain/valley, and there I will speak to you.”
La mano de Yahvé estaba allí sobre mí y me dijo: “Levántate, sal a la llanura y allí hablaré contigo”.
23 So I got up and went down to the valley. And I saw the glory of Yahweh there, like the glory that I had seen along the Kebar River/Canal. And I prostrated myself on the ground.
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 [of God] entered me and enabled me to stand up. He said to me, “Go into your house and stay inside it.
Entonces el Espíritu entró en mí y me puso en pie. Habló conmigo y me dijo: “Ve, enciérrate en tu casa.
25 People will tie you with ropes, with the result that you will be unable to go out among the people.
Pero a ti, hijo de hombre, he aquí que te pondrán cuerdas y te atarán con ellas, y no saldrás entre ellos.
26 [Even though] they are very rebellious people, I will cause your tongue to stick to the roof of your mouth, with the result that you will be unable to talk and to rebuke them.
Haré que tu lengua se pegue al paladar para que quedes mudo y no puedas corregirlos, porque son una casa rebelde.
27 [then] when I speak to [again], I will enable you to talk [MTY], and you will say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and you will tell them my message]. Those who are willing to [to what you say] will listen, [many] will refuse to listen, because they are rebellious people [MTY].”
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”.
