Ezekiel 3
1 He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
Entonces me dijo: Hijo de hombre, come lo que hallas. Come este rollo y vé a hablar a la Casa de Israel.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
Entonces abrí mi boca y Él me dio a comer el rollo.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your belly and your bowels with it.” Then I ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Me dijo: Hijo de hombre, alimenta tu estómago y llena tu cuerpo con este rollo que te doy. Entonces lo comí, y fue dulce como miel en mi boca.
4 He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
Entonces me dijo: Hijo de hombre, vé a la Casa de Israel y háblales 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 eres enviado a un pueblo de habla incomprensible ni de lenguaje 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’t understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
No [eres enviado] a muchos pueblos de habla incomprensible ni de lenguaje difícil, cuyas palabras no entiendes. Si te enviara a ellos, sí 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.
Sin embargo, la Casa de Israel no estará dispuesta a escucharte, porque no quieren escucharme a Mí. Ciertamente la Casa de Israel es indómita y obstinada.
8 Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
Mira, yo endurezco tu cara como las caras de ellos, y tu frente como las frentes de ellos.
9 I have made your forehead as a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”
Hice tu frente como diamante, más dura que pedernal. No temas ni desmayes ante ellos.
10 Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, receive in your heart and hear with your ears all my words that I speak to you.
Además me dijo: Hijo de hombre, recibe en tu corazón todas mis Palabras que te hablo, y escúchalas con tus oídos.
11 Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says,’ whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse.”
Y vé a los cautivos, a los hijos de tu pueblo. Háblales: Así dice ʼAdonay Yavé, si te escuchan o te rechazan.
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, “Blessed be Yahweh’s glory from his place.”
Entonces el Espíritu me levantó, y oí detrás de mí un estruendo tumultuoso: Bendita sea la gloria de Yavé desde su morada.
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.
El sonido de las alas de los seres vivientes y el sonido de las ruedas que iban junto a ellos formaban un gran estruendo.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and Yahweh’s hand was strong on me.
El Espíritu me levantó y me llevó. Yo iba amargado y airado. La mano de Yavé pesaba sobre mí.
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv who lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
Fui a los cautivos que vivían junto al río Quebar en Tel-Abib y estuve allí siete días asombrado entre ellos.
16 At the end of seven days, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Al terminar los siete días aconteció que la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
Hijo de hombre, Yo te designé como centinela para la Casa de Israel. Cuando oigas una Palabra de mi boca, les advertirás de parte mía.
18 When I tell the wicked, ‘You will 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 will die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.
Cuando Yo diga al perverso: Ciertamente morirás, y tú no se lo adviertas ni le hables, para que el perverso se aparte de su mal camino a fin de que viva, el perverso morirá por su perversidad, 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 will die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.”
Pero si tú amonestas al perverso, y él no se convierte de su perversidad y de su perverso camino, él morirá por su perversidad, pero tú librarás tu vida.
20 “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood at your hand.
Si algún justo se aparta de su justicia y comete maldad, pondré un tropiezo delante de él y morirá, porque tú no se lo advertiste. Por su pecado morirá y las obras de justicia que hizo no serán tomadas en cuenta, pero Yo demandaré su sangre de tu mano.
21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he will surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.”
Pero si adviertes al justo para que no peque, y él no peca, ciertamente vivirá porque recibió advertencia, y tú te librarás.
22 Yahweh’s hand was there on me; and he said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you there.”
Y la mano de Yavé estuvo allí sobre mí, y me dijo: Levántate, vé a la llanura. Allí hablaré contigo.
23 Then I arose, and went out into the plain, and behold, Yahweh’s glory stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar. Then I fell on my face.
Me levanté y fui a la llanura. Allí estaba la gloria de Yavé, como la gloria que vi junto al río Quebar, y caí sobre mi rostro.
24 Then the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me, and said to me, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
Entonces el Espíritu entró en mí, me puso en pie, y habló conmigo: Vé, enciérrate en tu casa.
25 But you, son of man, behold, they will put ropes on you, and will bind you with them, and you will not go out among them.
En cuanto a ti, hijo de hombre, ciertamente te pondrán sogas y te atarán con ellas, para que no salgas a ellos.
26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and will not be able to correct them, for they are a rebellious house.
Yo pegaré tu lengua a tu paladar y quedarás mudo. Ya no podrás reprenderlos, porque son una casa rebelde.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”
Pero cuando Yo te hable, abriré tu boca y les dirás: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: El que oye, que escuche y el que rechaza, que rechace, porque ellos son una casa rebelde.
