Ezequiel 2

1 Me dijo: Hijo de hombre, ponte en pie y hablaré contigo.

And he said to me, Son of man, get up on your feet, so that I may say words to you.

2 Cuando me habló el Espíritu entró en mí. Me afirmó sobre mis pies y oí que me hablaba.

And at his words the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and his voice came to my ears.

3 Entonces me dijo: Hijo de hombre, te envío a los hijos de Israel, a un pueblo rebelde que se rebeló contra Mí. Ellos y sus antepasados se rebelaron contra Mí hasta hoy.

And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day.

4 Los hijos a quienes te envío son descarados y duros de corazón. Les dirás: ʼAdonay Yavé dice:

And the children are hard and stiff-hearted; I am sending you to them: and you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord.

5 Ya sea que ellos escuchen o rechacen, porque ellos son casa rebelde, sabrán que hay profeta entre ellos.

And they, if they give ear to you or if they do not give ear (for they are an uncontrolled people), will see that there has been a prophet among them.

6 Y tú, hijo de hombre, no temas ni te aterroricen sus palabras. Aunque haya contigo cardos y espinos, y te sientes sobre escorpiones, no temas a sus palabras ni desmayes en presencia de ellos, porque son una casa rebelde.

And you, son of man, have no fear of them or of their words, even if sharp thorns are round you and you are living among scorpions: have no fear of their words and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.

7 Pero tú les hablarás mis Palabras, si escuchan o no, porque ellos son rebeldes.

And you are to give them my words, if they give ear to you or if they do not: for they are uncontrolled.

8 Sin embargo 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 you, son of man, give ear to what I say to you, and do not be uncontrolled like that uncontrolled people: let your mouth be open and take what I give you.

9 Cuando miré, había una mano extendida hacia mí y vi que un rollo estaba en ella.

And looking, I saw a hand stretched out to me, and I saw the roll of a book in it;

10 Cuando lo extendió delante de mí, estaba escrito por ambos lados. Y en él estaban escritas lamentaciones, gemidos y ayes.

And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.
