Ezequiel 2
1 Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, levántate, para que te hable.
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 Y mientras hablaba el espíritu entró en mí y me puso en mis pies; Y oí su voz 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 Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, te enviaré a los hijos de Israel, a una nación rebelde que se ha rebelado contra mí; ellos y sus padres han sido pecadores contra mí hasta este mismo día.
and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me.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 Y sus hijos son duros y tercos; a quienes te envio, y tienes que decirles: Estas son las palabras del Señor.
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 Y ellos, si te escuchan o no te escuchan porque son un pueblo rebelde, verán que ha habido un 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 tengas miedo de ellos ni de sus palabras, aunque las espinas afiladas te rodeen y estés viviendo entre escorpiones; no temas a sus palabras y no seas vencido por su apariencia, porque son un pueblo 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 Y debes darles mis palabras, si te escuchan o no, porque son muy rebeldes.
Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
8 Pero tú, hijo de hombre, escucha lo que te digo y no seas rebelde como esa gente 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 Y mirando, vi una mano extendida hacia mí, y vi el rollo de un libro en ella;
And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
10 Y lo abrió delante de mí, y tenía escrito en el frente y en la parte posterior; palabras de dolor, y ayes y gemidos.
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.
