Ezequiel 3
1 Y me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, come lo que tienes delante; come, come este rollo; y anda luego y habla a la casa de Israel.”
He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
2 Abrí mi boca, y me dio de comer aquel rollo.
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
3 Y me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, con este rollo que te doy, alimentarás tu vientre y llenarás tus entrañas.” Y yo lo comí, y era en mi boca dulce como miel.
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.
4 Y me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, anda, dirígete a la casa de Israel, y anúnciales mis palabras.
He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5 Porque no eres enviado a un pueblo de habla incomprensible y lengua difícil, sino a la casa de Israel,
For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel—
6 ni mucho menos a numerosos pueblos de habla incomprensible y lengua difícil, cuyas palabras no puedas entender. Si a tales te enviara, ellos te escucharían.
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.
7 Mas la casa de Israel no querrá escucharte, porque no quieren escucharme a Mí, pues toda la casa de Israel tiene frente obstinada y corazón endurecido.
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.
8 He aquí que hago tu rostro duro contra los rostros de ellos, y tu frente dura contra sus frentes.
Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
9 Hago tu frente como el diamante, más dura que el pedernal; no los temas, ni tengas miedo de sus rostros, pues son una casa rebelde.”
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.”
10 Y me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, recibe en tu corazón todas mis palabras que voy a decirte y escúchalas con tus oídos.
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.
11 Anda y preséntate a los deportados, a los hijos de tu pueblo, y háblales en estos términos: Así dice Yahvé, el Señor, te oigan o no te oigan.”
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.”
12 Y me levantó el espíritu; y oí detrás de mí un fragor muy fuerte al levantarse la gloria de Yahvé desde su sitio;
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.”
13 y también el ruido de las alas de los seres vivientes, de las cuales la una batía contra la otra, y el ruido de las ruedas junto a ellos, y un estruendo muy fuerte.
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.
14 Entonces el Espíritu me alzó y me arrebató; iba yo con amargura e indignación en el alma, porque la mano de Yahvé pesaba gravemente sobre mí.
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.
15 Llegué a los cautivos de Tel-Abib, que allí habitaban junto al río Cobar; y donde ellos habitaban, allí me quedé por siete días atónito en medio de ellos.
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.
16 Al cabo de los siete días recibí de Yahvé esta palabra:
At the end of seven days, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
17 “Hijo de hombre, Yo te pongo por atalaya de la casa de Israel; oirás de mi boca la palabra y les amonestarás de mi parte.
“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.
18 Si Yo digo al impío: “De seguro morirás”, y tú no le previnieres ni hablares para amonestar al impío (que se aparte) de su perverso camino y viva, ese impío morirá en su iniquidad; mas Yo demandaré de tu mano su sangre.
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.
19 Pero si tú amonestares al impío y este no se convirtiere de su maldad y su perverso camino, él morirá en su iniquidad, mas tú habrás salvado tu alma.
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.”
20 Y cuando un justo se apartare de su justicia cometiendo iniquidad, y Yo le pusiere un tropiezo delante y él muriere porque tú no le amonestaste, en su pecado morirá, y no serán recordadas sus obras buenas que hizo, y Yo demandaré su sangre de tu mano.
“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.
21 Pero si tú amonestares al justo, para que no peque, y el justo en efecto no pecare más, de seguro vivirá porque se dejó amonestar, y tú habrás salvado tu alma.”
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.”
22 Allí vino sobre mí la mano de Yahvé, y me dijo: “Levántate y sal a la llanura, y allí hablaré contigo.”
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.”
23 Me levanté y salí a la llanura; y allí vi la gloria de Yahvé al modo de la gloria que había visto junto al río Cobar; y caí sobre mi rostro.
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.
24 Y me invadió el Espíritu, y me puso en pie y habló conmigo, diciéndome: “Ve y enciérrate dentro de tu casa.
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.
25 Y tú, oh hijo de hombre, verás que echarán cuerdas sobre ti y con ellas te atarán, y ya no podrás salir a ellos.
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.
26 Haré también que la lengua se te pegue al paladar, de suerte que quedes mudo y no seas ya para ellos un censor; pues son una casa rebelde.
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.
27 Pero al hablar Yo contigo, te abriré la boca, y les dirás: Así dice Yahvé el Señor: El que quiera oír, que oiga; y el que no quiera oír, no oiga; pues son una casa rebelde.”
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.”
