< Ezequiel 2 >

1 “Levántate, hijo del hombre, porque quiero hablar contigo”, me dijo.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.”
2 Mientras me hablaba, el Espíritu entró en mí y me hizo levantarme. Le escuché mientras me hablaba.
And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.
3 “Hijo de hombre”, me dijo, “te envío al pueblo de Israel, una nación desobediente que se ha rebelado contra mí. Ellos y sus antepasados han seguido rebelándose contra mí, hasta hoy.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. To this very day they and their fathers have rebelled against Me.
4 Son cabezas de cerdo; son niños de corazón duro. Te envío a decirles que esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios.
They are obstinate and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
5 “Tanto si escuchan como si no, pues son un pueblo rebelde, se darán cuenta de que ha llegado a ellos un profeta.
And whether they listen or refuse to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6 “Hijo de hombre, no tengas miedo de ellos ni de lo que digan. No tengas miedo aunque estés rodeado de zarzas y espinas, aunque vivas entre escorpiones. No tengas miedo de lo que digan ni te desanimes por la forma en que te miran, aunque sean una familia rebelde.
But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns surround you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence, though they are a rebellious house.
7 Sólo diles lo que yo digo, te escuchen o no, porque son rebeldes.
But speak My words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.
8 “En cuanto a ti, hijo de hombre, presta atención a lo que te digo. No seas rebelde como esos rebeldes. Abre la boca y come lo que te voy a dar”.
And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
9 Levanté la vista y vi una mano extendida hacia mí que sostenía un pergamino.
Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and in it was a scroll,
10 Lo extendió frente a mí, y allí, escritas tanto en el anverso como en el reverso, había palabras de dolor, luto y tragedia.
which He unrolled before me. And written on the front and back of it were words of lamentation, mourning, and woe.
