Ezequiel 3

1 Entonces me dijo: Hijo de hombre, come lo que hallas. Come este rollo y vé a hablar a la Casa de Israel.

And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children of Israel.

2 Entonces abrí mi boca y Él me dio a comer el rollo.

And, on my opening my mouth, he made me take the roll as food.

3 Me dijo: Hijo de hombre, alimenta tu estómago y llena tu cuerpo con este rollo que te doy. Entonces lo comí, y fue dulce como miel en mi boca.

And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

4 Entonces me dijo: Hijo de hombre, vé a la Casa de Israel y háblales mis Palabras.

And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say my words to them.

5 Porque no eres enviado a un pueblo de habla incomprensible ni de lenguaje difícil, sino a la Casa de Israel.

For you are not sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;

6 No [eres enviado] a muchos pueblos de habla incomprensible ni de lenguaje difícil, cuyas palabras no entiendes. Si te enviara a ellos, sí te escucharían.

Not to a number of peoples whose talk is strange and whose language is hard and whose words are not clear to you. Truly, if I sent you to them they would give ear to you.

7 Sin embargo, la Casa de Israel no estará dispuesta a escucharte, porque no quieren escucharme a Mí. Ciertamente la Casa de Israel es indómita y obstinada.

But the children of Israel will not give ear to you; for they have no mind to give ear to me: for all the children of Israel have a hard brow and a stiff heart.

8 Mira, yo endurezco tu cara como las caras de ellos, y tu frente como las frentes de ellos.

See, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your brow hard against their brows.

9 Hice tu frente como diamante, más dura que pedernal. No temas ni desmayes ante ellos.

Like a diamond harder than rock I have made your brow: have no fear of them and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.

10 Además me dijo: Hijo de hombre, recibe en tu corazón todas mis Palabras que te hablo, y escúchalas con tus oídos.

Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them.

11 Y vé a los cautivos, a los hijos de tu pueblo. Háblales: Así dice ʼAdonay Yavé, si te escuchan o te rechazan.

And go now to those who have been taken away as prisoners, to the children of your people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said; if they give ear or if they do not.

12 Entonces el Espíritu me levantó, y oí detrás de mí un estruendo tumultuoso: Bendita sea la gloria de Yavé desde su morada.

Then I was lifted up by the wind, and at my back the sound of a great rushing came to my ears when the glory of the Lord was lifted up from his place.

13 El sonido de las alas de los seres vivientes y el sonido de las ruedas que iban junto a ellos formaban un gran estruendo.

And there was the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another, and the sound of the wheels at their side, the sound of a great rushing.

14 El Espíritu me levantó y me llevó. Yo iba amargado y airado. La mano de Yavé pesaba sobre mí.

And the wind, lifting me up, took me away: and I went in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the Lord was strong on me.

15 Fui a los cautivos que vivían junto al río Quebar en Tel-Abib y estuve allí siete días asombrado entre ellos.

Then I came to those who had been taken away as prisoners, who were at Telabib by the river Chebar, and I was seated among them full of wonder for seven days.

16 Al terminar los siete días aconteció que la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:

And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

17 Hijo de hombre, Yo te designé como centinela para la Casa de Israel. Cuando oigas una Palabra de mi boca, les advertirás de parte mía.

Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.

18 Cuando Yo diga al perverso: Ciertamente morirás, y tú no se lo adviertas ni le hables, para que el perverso se aparte de su mal camino a fin de que viva, el perverso morirá por su perversidad, pero Yo demandaré su sangre de tu mano.

When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

19 Pero si tú amonestas al perverso, y él no se convierte de su perversidad y de su perverso camino, él morirá por su perversidad, pero tú librarás tu vida.

But if you give the evil-doer word of his danger, and he is not turned from his sin or from his evil way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing; but your life will be safe.

20 Si algún justo se aparta de su justicia y comete maldad, pondré un tropiezo delante de él y morirá, porque tú no se lo advertiste. Por su pecado morirá y las obras de justicia que hizo no serán tomadas en cuenta, pero Yo demandaré su sangre de tu mano.

Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

21 Pero si adviertes al justo para que no peque, y él no peca, ciertamente vivirá porque recibió advertencia, y tú te librarás.

But if you say to the upright man that he is not to do evil, he will certainly keep his life because he took note of your word; and your life will be safe.

22 Y la mano de Yavé estuvo allí sobre mí, y me dijo: Levántate, vé a la llanura. Allí hablaré contigo.

And the hand of the Lord was on me there; and he said, Get up and go out into the valley and there I will have talk with you.

23 Me levanté y fui a la llanura. Allí estaba la gloria de Yavé, como la gloria que vi junto al río Quebar, y caí sobre mi rostro.

Then I got up and went out into the valley; and I saw the glory of the Lord resting there as I had seen it by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.

24 Entonces el Espíritu entró en mí, me puso en pie, y habló conmigo: Vé, enciérrate en tu casa.

Then the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and he had talk with me and said to me, Go and keep yourself shut up inside your house.

25 En cuanto a ti, hijo de hombre, ciertamente te pondrán sogas y te atarán con ellas, para que no salgas a ellos.

But see, O son of man, I will put bands on you, prisoning you in them, and you will not go out among them:

26 Yo pegaré tu lengua a tu paladar y quedarás mudo. Ya no podrás reprenderlos, porque son una casa rebelde.

And I will make your tongue fixed to the roof of your mouth, so that you have no voice and may not make protests to them: for they are an uncontrolled people.

27 Pero cuando Yo te hable, abriré tu boca y les dirás: ʼAdonay Yavé dice: El que oye, que escuche y el que rechaza, que rechace, porque ellos son una casa rebelde.

But when I have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.
