Ezequiel 2
1 Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, levántate, para que te hable.
He said to me, “You human, stand up while I speak to you.”
2 Y mientras hablaba el espíritu entró en mí y me puso en mis pies; Y oí su voz que me hablaba.
While he spoke to me, [God’s] Spirit entered me and enabled me to stand up. Then I heard him speak 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.
He said, “You human, I will send you to the Israeli people. They are people who have turned away from me and rebelled against me. Their ancestors rebelled against me, and they themselves are still rebelling against me.
4 Y sus hijos son duros y tercos; a quienes te envio, y tienes que decirles: Estas son las palabras del Señor.
The people to whom I will send you are very stubborn [DOU]. But say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you.’
5 Y ellos, si te escuchan o no te escuchan porque son un pueblo rebelde, verán que ha habido un profeta entre ellos.
[when you tell them my messages], perhaps those rebellious people will heed those messages and perhaps they will not heed them, but they will know [you are] a prophet who has been among them.
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.
And you human, you must not be afraid of them or afraid of what they say. [Living among them will be like] living in the midst of briers or scorpions, but do not be afraid of them. They are rebellious people [MTY], but do not allow them to cause you to become afraid.
7 Y debes darles mis palabras, si te escuchan o no, porque son muy rebeldes.
Tell them my message, but do not expect them to pay attention to it, because they [very] rebellious.
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 human, you must pay attention to what I say. Do not be rebellious like they are. [Now] open your mouth and eat what I give to you.”
9 Y mirando, vi una mano extendida hacia mí, y vi el rollo de un libro en ella;
Then, as I watched, I saw his hand that was stretched toward me. In his hand was a scroll.
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.
He unrolled the scroll. On both sides of it were written words that expressed sorrow and mourning and words about trouble/disaster.
