Ezequiel 2
1 Me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, ponte en pie, y hablaré contigo”.
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 El Espíritu entró en mí cuando me habló, y me puso en pie; y oí al que 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 Me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, te envío a los hijos de Israel, a una nación de rebeldes que se ha rebelado contra mí. Ellos y sus padres se han rebelado contra mí hasta el día de 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and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me.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 Los hijos son insolentes y de corazón rígido. Te envío a ellos, y les dirás: ‘Esto es lo que dice el Señor Yahvé’.
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 Ellos, ya sea que escuchen o que se nieguen — pues son una casa rebelde —, sabrán que ha habido un profeta entre ellos.
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 Tú, hijo de hombre, no les tengas miedo, ni te asustes de sus palabras, aunque te acompañen zarzas y espinas, y habites entre escorpiones. No tengas miedo de sus palabras, ni te asustes por su aspecto, aunque sean una casa 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 Tú les dirás mis palabras, tanto si las escuchan como si las rechazan, porque son muy rebeldes.
Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
8 Pero tú, hijo de hombre, escucha lo que te digo. No seas rebelde como esa casa rebelde. Abre tu boca y come lo que te doy”.
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 Cuando miré, he aquí que una mano se extendía hacia mí, y he aquí que había en ella un rollo de libro.
And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
10 Lo extendió ante mí. Estaba escrito por dentro y por fuera; y en él estaban escritas lamentaciones, lamentos y aflicciones.
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.
