Ezequiel 3
1 Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, toma este rollo para tu comida, y ve y di mis palabras a los hijos 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 al abrir mi boca, me hizo comer el rollo como alimento.
So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat it.
3 Y él me dijo: Hijo de hombre, que tu estómago lo coma y que tus entrañas se llenen de este rollo que te doy. Luego lo tomé, y fue dulce como la miel en mi boca.
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 me dijo: Hijo de hombre, ve ahora a los hijos de Israel, y diles 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 un pueblo cuyo idioma es extraño y cuyo lenguaje es difícil de entender, sino a los hijos 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 un número de personas cuyo idioma es extraño y cuyo lenguaje es difícil cuyas palabras no son claras para ustedes. Verdaderamente, si te envíara a ellos, ellos te escucharían.
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 Pero los hijos de Israel no te oirán; porque no les importa oírme a mí, porque todos los hijos de Israel son tercos y de duro 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 Mira, he endurecido tu rostro como sus rostros, y te hecho terco como ellos.
But I will enable you [SYN] to be as stubborn and tough as they are.
9 Como un diamante más duro que una roca, te he hecho la frente; no tengas miedo de ellos y no te dejes vencer por su apariencia, porque son personas que son rebeldes.
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 Entonces me dijo: Hijo de hombre, toma en tu corazón todas las palabras que te voy a decir, y escúchalas atentamente.
He also said to me, “You human, listen very carefully to what I say, and keep thinking about it [IDM].
11 Ahora ve a los que han sido llevados prisioneros, a los hijos de tu pueblo, y diles: Esto es lo que el Señor ha dicho; Si dan oído o si no lo hacen.
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 Entonces fui levantado por el viento, y en mi espalda el sonido de una gran estruendo que decía: Bendita sea la Gloria del Señor desde 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 se escuchó el sonido de las alas de los seres vivos tocándose unos a otros, y el sonido de las ruedas a su lado, el sonido de un gran terremoto.
[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 viento, me levanto, me llevó, y fui con amargura y enojo de mi espíritu, y la mano del Señor me llevo fuerte.
The Spirit took me away. Within me I was very bitter and angry [DOU], but I felt Yahweh holding me very powerfully.
15 Luego, llegué a los que habían sido llevados como prisioneros, que estaban en Telabib, junto al río Quebar, y me senté entre ellos lleno de asombro durante siete días.
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 al cabo de siete días, vino a mí la palabra del Señor, diciendo:
After those seven days had ended, Yahweh gave me this message:
17 Hijo de hombre, te he hecho vigilante para los hijos de Israel; escucha la palabra de mi boca y dales a ellos una palabra, para que estén advertidos.
“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 le diga al malvado, la muerte será tu destino; y no le dices nada de eso y no le hablas para aclarar a los malhechores el peligro de su mal camino, para que él esté a salvo; Ese mismo hombre malo morirá en su maldad; Pero te haré responsable de su sangre.
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 Pero si le adviertes al malvado de su peligro, y él no se aleja de su pecado ni de su mal camino, la muerte lo alcanzará en su maldad; Pero tu vida estará a salvo.
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 Nuevamente, cuando un hombre justo, que se aparta de su justicia, hace el mal y yo pongo una causa de caer en su camino, la muerte lo alcanzará; porque no le has dado ninguna palabra de su peligro, la muerte lo alcanzará a él en su maldad, y no habrá memoria de los actos rectos que ha hecho; Pero te haré responsable de su sangre.
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 Pero si le dices al hombre justo que no debe hacer el mal, ciertamente conservará su vida porque tomó nota de tu palabra; y tu vida estará a salvo.
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 la mano del Señor estaba sobre mí allí; y él dijo: Levántate, sal al valle 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 Entonces me levanté y salí al valle; y vi la gloria del Señor descansando allí como la había visto junto al río Quebar; y caí al suelo.
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 el espíritu entró en mí y me puso sobre mis pies; y él habló conmigo y me dijo: Ve y mantente callado 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 Pero mira, oh hijo de hombre, te van atar con cuerdas, de manera que no podrás salir, y no saldrás entre ellos:
People will tie you with ropes, with the result that you will be unable to go out among the people.
26 Y pondré tu lengua fija en el paladar, para que no tengas voz y no puedas reprenderlos; porque son un pueblo 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 Pero cuando hable contigo, te abriré la boca, y debes decirles: Esto es lo que el Señor ha dicho: Dejen que el oyente oiga; y en cuanto al que no quiere, que cierre los oídos, porque son personas rebeldes.
[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].”
