Ezequiel 3

1 Me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, come lo que encuentres. Come este rollo, y vete, habla a la casa de Israel”.

Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat that you find; eat this roll, and go speak to the house of Israel.

2 Entonces abrí la boca y me hizo comer el rollo.

So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.

3 Me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, come este rollo que te doy y llena con él tu vientre y tus entrañas”. Luego me lo comí. Era tan dulce como la miel en mi boca.

And he said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this roll that I give you. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

4 Me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, ve a la casa de Israel y diles mis palabras.

And he said to me, Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.

5 Porque no has sido enviado a un pueblo de habla extraña y de lengua difícil, sino a la casa de Israel —

For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;

6 no a muchos pueblos de habla extraña y de lengua difícil, cuyas palabras no puedes entender. Ciertamente, si te enviara a ellos, te escucharían.

Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.

7 Pero la casa de Israel no te escuchará, porque no me escuchará a mí; porque toda la casa de Israel es obstinada y dura de corazón.

But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

8 He aquí que he endurecido tu rostro contra el de ellos, y tu frente contra la de ellos.

Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads.

9 He hecho tu frente como un diamante, más duro que el pedernal. No tengas miedo de ellos, ni te asustes por su aspecto, aunque sean una casa rebelde”.

As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

10 Además, me dijo: “Hijo de hombre, recibe en tu corazón y escucha con tus oídos todas mis palabras que te digo.

Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.

11 Ve a los del cautiverio, a los hijos de tu pueblo, y háblales, y diles: ‘Esto es lo que dice el Señor Yahvé’, ya sea que escuchen o que se nieguen.”

And go, get you to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

12 Entonces el Espíritu me elevó, y oí detrás de mí la voz de un gran estruendo que decía: “Bendita sea la gloria de Yahvé desde su lugar”.

Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.

13 Oí el ruido de las alas de los seres vivientes al tocarse unos a otros, y el ruido de las ruedas junto a ellos, el ruido de un gran estruendo.

I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.

14 Entonces el Espíritu me levantó y me llevó, y me fui en la amargura, en el calor de mi espíritu, y la mano de Yahvé fue fuerte sobre mí.

So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong on me.

15 Entonces llegué a los del cautiverio en Tel Aviv que vivían junto al río Chebar, y a donde ellos vivían; y me senté allí agobiado en medio de ellos durante siete días.

Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelled by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

16 Al cabo de siete días, vino a mí la palabra de Yahvé, diciendo:

And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

17 “Hijo de hombre, te he puesto como centinela de la casa de Israel. Escucha, pues, la palabra de mi boca, y adviérteles de mi parte.

Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

18 Cuando yo le diga al impío: ‘Ciertamente morirás’, y tú no le des aviso, ni hables para prevenir al impío de su mal camino, para salvar su vida, ese impío morirá en su iniquidad; pero yo demandaré su sangre de tu mano.

When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.

19 Pero si adviertes al impío, y no se convierte de su maldad, ni de su mal camino, morirá en su iniquidad; pero tú has librado tu alma.”

Yet if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

20 “Además, cuando un justo se aparta de su justicia y comete iniquidad, y yo le pongo un tropiezo, morirá. Por no haberle advertido, morirá en su pecado, y no se recordarán sus obras justas que haya hecho, sino que requeriré su sangre de tu mano.

Again, When a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.

21 Sin embargo, si adviertes al justo para que no peque, y él no peca, ciertamente vivirá, porque tomó la advertencia; y tú has librado tu alma.”

Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also you have delivered your soul.

22 La mano de Yahvé estaba allí sobre mí y me dijo: “Levántate, sal a la llanura y allí hablaré contigo”.

And the hand of the LORD was there on me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you.

23 Entonces me levanté y salí a la llanura, y he aquí que la gloria de Yahvé estaba allí, como la gloria que vi junto al río Chebar. Entonces me postré sobre mi rostro.

Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.

24 Entonces el Espíritu entró en mí y me puso en pie. Habló conmigo y me dijo: “Ve, enciérrate en tu casa.

Then the spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut yourself within your house.

25 Pero a ti, hijo de hombre, he aquí que te pondrán cuerdas y te atarán con ellas, y no saldrás entre ellos.

But you, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:

26 Haré que tu lengua se pegue al paladar para que quedes mudo y no puedas corregirlos, porque son una casa rebelde.

And I will make your tongue sticks to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.

27 Pero cuando hable contigo, abriré tu boca y les dirás: “Esto dice el Señor Yahvé”. El que oiga, que oiga; y el que se niegue, que se niegue; porque son una casa rebelde”.

But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; He that hears, let him hear; and he that declines, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
