Ezequiel 3
1 Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, come lo que hallares: come este envoltorio; y vé, y habla a la casa de Israel.
He said to me, “You human, eat this scroll that is in front of you. Then go and speak to the Israeli people [MTY].”
2 Y abrí mi boca, e hízome comer aquel envoltorio.
So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat it.
3 Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, haz a tu vientre que coma, e hinche tus entrañas de este envoltorio que yo te doy. Y lo comí, y fue en mi boca dulce como miel.
Then he said to me, “You human, eat the scroll that I have given to you. Fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and in my mouth it tasted as sweet as honey.
4 Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, vé, y entra a la casa de Israel, y habla a ellos con mis palabras.
Then he said to me, “You human, go to the Israeli people [MTY] and tell them my message.
5 Porque no eres enviado a pueblo de profunda habla, ni de lengua difícil, sino a la casa de Israel:
The people to whom I am sending you are not people whose language is very [to learn], a language which you do not understand. I am sending you to your Israeli people [MTY].
6 No a muchos pueblos, de profunda habla, ni de lengua difícil, cuyas palabras no entiendas; y si a ellos te enviara, ellos te oyeran.
I am sending you to people whose language you understand very well. If I were sending you to people whose language was difficult for you to understand, they [be surprised and] pay attention to what [say to them].
7 Mas los de la casa de Israel, no te querrán oír, porque no me quieren oír a mí; porque toda la casa de Israel son fuertes de frente, y duros de corazón.
But the Israeli people do not want to listen to you because they do not want to listen to me. [They do not want to listen because] they are all very stubborn [DOU].
8 He aquí que yo he hecho tu rostro fuerte contra los rostros de ellos, y tu frente fuerte contra su frente.
But I will enable you [SYN] to be as stubborn and tough as they are.
9 Como diamante, más fuerte que pedernal he hecho tu frente: no los temas, ni hayas miedo delante de ellos, porque casa rebelde es.
I will cause you to be as firm/unbreakable as [SIM] the hardest stone, like flint. So, [even though] they are very rebellious people, do not be afraid of them; do not allow them to cause you to be afraid.”
10 Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, todas mis palabras que yo te hablaré, toma en tu corazón, y oye con tus oídos.
He also said to me, “You human, listen very carefully to what I say, and keep thinking about it [IDM].
11 Y vé, y entra a los trasportados, a los hombres de tu pueblo; y hablarles has, y decirles has: Así dijo el Señor Jehová: no oirán, ni cesarán.
Go to your fellow Israelis who [here after being] (exiled/forced to leave their country), and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and then tell them my message], whether they want to hear it or whether they do not want to hear it.”
12 Y el espíritu me levantó, y oí detrás de mí una voz de grande estruendo de la bendita gloria de Jehová, que se iba de su lugar;
[in the vision] the [of God] lifted me up, and I heard behind [someone speaking very loudly], like a loud rumbling sound. [I heard someone say, ] “Praise our glorious Yahweh in the place where he [in heaven]!”
13 Y el sonido de las alas de los animales que se juntaban la una con la otra, y el sonido de las ruedas delante de ellos, y sonido de grande estruendo.
[I heard] the sound of the wings of the four living creatures brushing against each other, [I also heard] the sound of the wheels that were beside them. It was a loud rumbling sound.
14 Y el espíritu me levantó, y me tomó; y me fue amargo con el descontento de mi espíritu, porque la mano de Jehová era fuerte sobre mí.
The Spirit took me away. Within me I was very bitter and angry [DOU], but I felt Yahweh holding me very powerfully.
15 Y vine a los trasportados en Telabib, que moraban junto al río de Cobar; y asenté donde ellos estaban asentados: allí asenté siete días atónito entre ellos.
I came to the exiles who lived at Tel [town] near the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Then, where they were living, I sat for seven days. I was [about everything that I had seen].
16 Y aconteció que al cabo de los siete días fue a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
After those seven days had ended, Yahweh gave me this message:
17 Hijo del hombre, yo te he puesto por atalaya a la casa de Israel: oirás, pues, tú la palabra de mi boca, y amonestarlos has de mi parte.
“You human, I am appointing [to be like] a watchman [MET] for the Israeli people [MTY]. [So] listen to these messages that I will give you, and tell them those messages to warn them.
18 Cuando yo dijere al impío: Muerte morirás; y tú no le amonestares, ni le hablares, para que el impío sea amonestado de su mal camino, para que viva, el impío morirá por su maldad: mas su sangre demandaré de tu mano.
When I say about some wicked people, ‘They will surely [because of their sins],’ if you do not warn them or tell them that they must turn from their wicked behavior if they want to (save their lives/remain alive), those wicked people will die because of the sins that they have committed, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
19 Y si tú amonestares al impío, y él no se convertiere de su impiedad, y de su mal camino, él morirá por su maldad; y tú escapaste tu alma.
But if you warn the wicked people and they do not turn from all their wicked behavior [DOU], they will die because of their sins, but you will have saved [from my punishing you].
20 Y cuando el justo se apartare de su justicia, e hiciere maldad, y yo pusiere tropiezo delante de él, él morirá, porque tú no le amonestaste: en su pecado morirá, ni sus justicias que hizo vendrán en memoria: mas su sangre demandaré de tu mano.
Similarly, when righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and do evil deeds, I will cause bad things to happen [IDM] to them. [But you must warn them. If you do not warn them], and if they do not stop their sinful behavior, they will die because of their sins; I will not think about the righteous things that they [previously], but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
21 Y si al justo amonestares, para que el justo no peque, y no pecare, viviendo vivirá, porque fue amonestado; y tú escapaste tu alma.
But if you warn righteous people not to sin, and they do not sin, they will surely remain alive because they [your] warning, and you will have saved [from my punishing you].”
22 Y fue allí la mano de Jehová sobre mí, y díjome: Levántate, y sal al campo; y allí hablaré contigo.
[I felt] Yahweh take control [MTY] of me, and he said to me, “Get up and go [from the city down] to the plain/valley, and there I will speak to you.”
23 Y levantéme, y salí al campo; y he aquí que allí estaba la gloria de Jehová, como la gloria que había visto junto al río de Cobar; y caí sobre mi rostro.
So I got up and went down to the valley. And I saw the glory of Yahweh there, like the glory that I had seen along the Kebar River/Canal. And I prostrated myself on the ground.
24 Entonces entró espíritu en mí, y me afirmó sobre mis pies, y me habló, y díjome: Entra, y enciérrate dentro de tu casa.
Then the [of God] entered me and enabled me to stand up. He said to me, “Go into your house and stay inside it.
25 Y tú, o! hijo del hombre, he aquí que pondrán sobre ti cuerdas, y con ellas te ligarán: no salgas pues entre ellos.
People will tie you with ropes, with the result that you will be unable to go out among the people.
26 Y haré apegar tu lengua a tu paladar, y serás mudo, porque no los reprendas; porque son casa rebelde.
[Even though] they are very rebellious people, I will cause your tongue to stick to the roof of your mouth, with the result that you will be unable to talk and to rebuke them.
27 Mas cuando yo te hubiere hablado, yo abriré tu boca, y decirles has: Así dijo el Señor Jehová: el que oye, oiga; y el que cesa, cese; porque casa rebelde son.
[then] when I speak to [again], I will enable you to talk [MTY], and you will say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and you will tell them my message]. Those who are willing to [to what you say] will listen, [many] will refuse to listen, because they are rebellious people [MTY].”
