< Ezequiel 2 >

1 “Levántate, hijo del hombre, porque quiero hablar contigo”, me dijo.
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.
The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke 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.
He said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the house of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
4 Son cabezas de cerdo; son niños de corazón duro. Te envío a decirles que esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios.
The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell 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.
They, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has been a prophet 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.
You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7 Sólo diles lo que yo digo, te escuchen o no, porque son rebeldes.
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most 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”.
But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you."
9 Levanté la vista y vi una mano extendida hacia mí que sostenía un pergamino.
When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was 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.
He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
