Ezequiel 3

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Y me dijo: «Hijo de hombre, come lo que se te ofrece; come este rollo y ve luego a hablar a la casa de Israel».	1 And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”
2 Yo abrí mi boca y él me hizo comer el rollo,	2 And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
3 y me dijo: «Hijo de hombre, aliméntate y sáciate de este rollo que yo te doy». Lo comí y fue en mi boca dulce como la miel.	3 And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.
4 Entonces me dijo: «Hijo de hombre, ve a la casa de Israel y háblales con mis palabras.	4 And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.
5 Pues no eres enviado a un pueblo de habla oscura y de lengua difícil, sino a la casa de Israel.	5 For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,
6 No a pueblos numerosos, de habla oscura y de lengua difícil cuyas palabras no entenderías. Si te enviara a ellos, ¿no es verdad que te escucharían?	6 and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.
7 Pero la casa de Israel no quiere escucharte a ti porque no quiere escucharme a mí, ya que toda la casa de Israel tiene la cabeza dura y el corazón empedernido.	7 Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.
8 Mira, yo he hecho tu rostro duro como su rostro, y tu frente tan dura como su frente;	8 Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.
9 yo te hecho tu frente dura como el diamante, que es más duro que la roca. No los temas, no tengas miedo de ellos, porque son una casa de rebeldía».	9 I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”
10 Luego me dijo: «Hijo de hombre, todas las palabras que yo te dirija, guárdalas en tu corazón y escúchalas atentamente,	10 And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.
11 y luego, anda, ve donde los deportados, donde los hijos de tu pueblo; les hablarás y les dirás: “Así dice el Señor Yahveh”, escuchen o no escuchen».	11 And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”
12 Entonces, el espíritu me levantó y oí detrás de mí el ruido de una gran trepidación: «Bendita sea la gloria de Yahveh, en el lugar donde está»,	12 And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”
13 el ruido que hacían las alas de los seres al batir una contra otra, y el ruido de las ruedas junto a ellos, ruido de gran trepidación.	13 and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.
14 Y el espíritu me levantó y me arrebató; yo iba amargado con quemazón de espíritu, mientras la mano de Yahveh pesaba fuertamente sobre mí.	14 Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.
15 Llegué donde los deportados de Tel Abib que residían junto al río Kebar - era aquí donde ellos residían -, y permanecí allí siete días, aturdido, en medio de ellos.	15 And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.
16 Al cabo de los siete días, la palabra de Yahveh me fue dirigida en estos términos:	16 Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 «Hijo de hombre, yo te he puesto como centinela de la casa de Israel. Oirás de mi boca la palabra y les advertirás de mi parte.	17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.
18 Cuando yo diga al malvado: “Vas a morir”, si tú no le adviertes, si no hablas para advertir al malvado que abandone su mala conducta, a fin de que viva, él, el malvado, morirá por su culpa, pero de su sangre yo te pediré cuentas a ti.	18 If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.
19 Si por el contrario adviertes al malvado y él no se aparta de su maldad y de su mala conducta, morirá él por su culpa, pero tú habrás salvado tu vida.	19 But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.
20 Cuando el justo se aparte de su justicia para cometer injusticia, yo pondré un obstáculo ante él y morirá; por no haberle advertido tú, morirá él por su pecado y no se recordará la justicia que había practicado, pero de su sangre yo te pediré cuentas a ti.	20 Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.
21 Si por el contrario adviertes al justo que no peque, y él no peca, vivirá él por haber sido advertido, y tú habrás salvado tu vida».	21 But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”
22 Allí fue sobre mí la mano de Yahveh; me dijo: «Levántate, sal a la vega, y allí te hablaré».	22 And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
23 Me levanté y salí a la vega, y he aquí que la gloria de Yahveh estaba parada allí, semejante a la gloria que yo había visto junto al río Kebar, y caí rostro en tierra.	23 And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
24 Entonces, el espíritu entró en mí y me hizo tenerme en pie, y me habló. Me dijo: «Ve a encerrarte en tu casa.	24 And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.
25 Hijo de hombre, he aquí que se te van a echar cuerdas con las que serás atado, para que no aparezcas en medio de ellos.	25 And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.
26 Yo haré que tu lengua se te pegue al paladar, quedarás mudo y dejarás de ser su censor, porque son una casa de rebeldía.	26 And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.
27 Mas cuando yo te hable, abriré tu boca y les dirás: Así dice el Señor Yahveh; quien quiera escuchar, que escuche, y quien no quiera, que lo deje; porque son una casa de rebeldía».	27 But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
