< 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 Cuando me habló el Espíritu entró en mí. Me afirmó sobre mis pies y oí 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 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and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me.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 a quienes te envío son descarados y duros de corazón. Les dirás: ʼAdonay Yavé dice:
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 Ya sea que ellos escuchen o rechacen, porque ellos son casa rebelde, sabrán que hay 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 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.
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 Pero tú les hablarás mis Palabras, si escuchan o no, porque ellos son rebeldes.
Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
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 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, había una mano extendida hacia mí y vi que un rollo estaba en ella.
And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up 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 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.
