Ezequiel 2
1 “Levántate, hijo del hombre, porque quiero hablar contigo”, me dijo.
This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 Mientras me hablaba, el Espíritu entró en mí y me hizo levantarme. Le escuché mientras me hablaba.
And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he 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.
and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.
4 Son cabezas de cerdo; son niños de corazón duro. Te envío a decirles que esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios.
And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
5 “Tanto si escuchan como si no, pues son un pueblo rebelde, se darán cuenta de que ha llegado a ellos un profeta.
Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.
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 as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.
7 Sólo diles lo que yo digo, te escuchen o no, porque son rebeldes.
Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
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”.
But as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”
9 Levanté la vista y vi una mano extendida hacia mí que sostenía un pergamino.
And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
10 Lo extendió frente a mí, y allí, escritas tanto en el anverso como en el reverso, había palabras de dolor, luto y tragedia.
And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.
