Ezekiel 3
1 He said to me, “Son of man, what you have found, eat. Eat this scroll, then 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 fed me that scroll.
Entonces abrí la boca y me hizo comer el rollo.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly and fill your stomach with this scroll that I have given to you!” So 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 Then 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 being sent to a people of strange speech or difficult 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 strange speech or a difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I sent you to them, they would have listened 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 be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me. So all the house of Israel is strong browed 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 Behold! I have made your face as stubborn as their faces and your brow as hard as their brows.
He aquí que he endurecido tu rostro contra el de ellos, y tu frente contra la de ellos.
9 I have made your brow like a diamond, harder than flint! Do not fear them or be discouraged by their faces, since 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 Then he said to me, “Son of man, all the words that I announce to you—take them into your heart and hear them 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 Then go to the captives, to your people, and speak to them. Say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says,' whether they will listen or not.”
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 sound of a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of Yahweh 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 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels that were with them, and the sound of a great earthquake.
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 lifted me up and took me away, and I went with bitterness in my spirit's rage, for the hand of Yahweh was powerfully pressing 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 So I went to the captives at Tel Aviv who lived along the Kebar Canal, and I stayed there among them for seven days, overwhelmed in amazement.
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 Then it happened after seven days that the word of Yahweh 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 for the house of Israel, so listen to the word from my mouth, and give them my warning.
“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 to the wicked, 'You will surely die' and you do not warn him or speak a warning to the wicked about his evil deeds so he might live—the wicked one will die for his sin, but I will require his blood from 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 But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked deeds, then he will die for his sin, but you will have rescued your own life.
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 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and acts unjustly, and I set a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and I will not call to mind the righteous deeds that he performed, but I will require his blood from 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 But if you warn the righteous man to stop sinning so that he no longer sins, he will surely live since he was warned; and you will have rescued your own life.”
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 So the hand of Yahweh was on me there, and he said to me, “Arise! Go out into the plain, and I will speak with you there!”
La mano de Yahvé estaba allí sobre mí y me dijo: “Levántate, sal a la llanura y allí hablaré contigo”.
23 I arose and went out into the plain, and there the glory of Yahweh was staying, like the glory that I had seen beside the Kebar Canal; so 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 The Spirit came to me and stood me up on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, “Go and shut yourself up within your house,
Entonces el Espíritu entró en mí y me puso en pie. Habló conmigo y me dijo: “Ve, enciérrate en tu casa.
25 for now, son of man, they will place ropes upon you and tie you so you cannot 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 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, so you will be mute, and you will not be able to rebuke them, since 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 so you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says.' The one who will hear will hear; the one who will not listen will not listen, 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”.
