< Ezequiel 2 >

1 “Levántate, hijo del hombre, porque quiero hablar contigo”, me dijo.
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon 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 the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised 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.
And he said to me, Son of Man, I send you forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers 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 you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord.
5 “Tanto si escuchan como si no, pues son un pueblo rebelde, se darán cuenta de que ha llegado a ellos un profeta.
Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that you are a prophet in the midst of 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.
And you, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against you round about, and you dwell in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
7 Sólo diles lo que yo digo, te escuchen o no, porque son rebeldes.
And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.
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, hear him that speaks to you; be not you provoking, as the provoking 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.
And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.
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 unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
