1 Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, come lo que hallares; come este rollo, y ve y habla a la Casa de Israel.

He said to me, Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll; then go and speak to the house of Israel.

2 Y abrí mi boca, y me hizo comer aquel rollo.

So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat the scroll.

3 Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, haz a tu vientre que coma, y llena tus entrañas de este rollo que yo te doy. Y lo comí, y fue en mi boca dulce como miel.

And He said to me, Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it. Then I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

4 M e dijo luego: Hijo de hombre, ve y entra a la casa de Israel, y habla a ellos con mis palabras.

And He said to me, Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel and speak to them with My words.

5 P orque no eres enviado a pueblo de habla profunda ni de lengua difícil, sino a la casa de Israel.

For you are not sent to a people of a foreign speech and of a difficult language but to the house of Israel;

6 N o a muchos pueblos de profunda habla ni de lengua difícil, cuyas palabras no entiendas; y si a ellos te enviara, ellos te oirían.

Not to many peoples of foreign speech and of a hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to such people, they would have listened to you and heeded My words.

7 M as 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 house of Israel will not listen to you and obey you since they will not listen to Me and obey Me, for all the house of Israel are impudent and stubborn of heart.

8 H e aquí he hecho yo tu rostro fuerte contra los rostros de ellos, y tu frente fuerte contra su frente.

Behold, I have made your face strong and hard against their faces and your forehead strong and hard against their foreheads.

9 C omo diamante, más fuerte que pedernal he hecho tu frente; no les temas, ni tengas miedo delante de ellos, porque es casa rebelde.

Like an adamant harder than flint or a diamond point have I made your forehead; fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.

10 Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, toma en tu corazón todas mis palabras que yo te hablaré, y oye con tus oídos.

Moreover, He said to me, Son of man, all My words that I shall speak to you, receive in your heart and hear with your ears.

11 Y ve, y entra a los cautivos, a los hijos de tu pueblo, y les hablarás y les dirás: Así dijo el Señor DIOS; no oirán, ni cesarán.

And go, get you to the captives, to the children of your people, and speak to them and tell them, Thus says the Lord God, whether they will hear or refuse to hear.

12 Y el Espíritu me levantó, y oí detrás de mí una voz de gran estruendo de la bendita gloria del SEÑOR que se iba de su lugar,

Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from His place.

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 gran estruendo.

I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched and joined each one the other, and I heard the noise of the wheels beside them and the noise of a great rushing.

14 Y el Espíritu me levantó, y me tomó; y fui en amargura, en la indignación de mi espíritu, pero la mano del SEÑOR era fuerte sobre mí.

So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was strong upon me.

15 Y vine a los cautivos en Tel-abib, que moraban junto al río de Quebar, y me senté donde ellos estaban sentados, y allí permanecí siete días desconsolado entre ellos.

Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, who sat and dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat and remained there among them seven days, overwhelmed with astonishment and silent.

16 Y aconteció que al cabo de los siete días vino a mí palabra del SEÑOR, diciendo:

And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me:

17 H ijo de hombre, yo te he puesto por atalaya a la Casa de Israel. Oirás, pues, tú la palabra de mi boca, y les amonestarás de mi parte.

Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at My mouth and give them warning from Me.

18 C uando yo dijere al impío: De cierto 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 iniquidad, mas su sangre demandaré de tu mano.

If I say to the wicked, You shall surely die, and you do not give him warning or speak to warn the wicked to turn from his wicked way, to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand.

19 Y si tú amonestares al impío, y él no se convirtiere de su impiedad, y de su mal camino, él morirá por su iniquidad, y tú habrás librado tu alma.

Yet if you warn the wicked and he turn not from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered yourself.

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.

Again, if a righteous man turns from his righteousness (right doing and right standing with God) and some gift or providence which I lay before him he perverts into an occasion to sin and he commits iniquity, he shall die; because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood will I require at your hand.

21 Y si al justo amonestares para que el justo no peque, y no pecare, de cierto vivirá, porque fue amonestado; y tú habrás librado tu alma.

Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he is warned; also you have delivered yourself from guilt.

22 V ino allí la mano del SEÑOR sobre mí, y me dijo: Levántate, y sal al campo, y allí hablaré contigo.

And the hand of the Lord was there upon me, and He said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain and I will talk with you there.

23 Y me levanté, y salí al campo; y he aquí que allí estaba la gloria del SEÑOR, como la gloria que había visto junto al río de Quebar; y caí sobre mi rostro.

Then I arose and went forth into the plain, and behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fell on my face.

24 E ntonces entró espíritu en mí, y me afirmó sobre mis pies, y me habló, y me dijo: Entra, y enciérrate dentro de tu casa.

Then the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet; He spoke and said to me, Go, shut yourself up in your house.

25 Y tú, oh hijo de hombre, he aquí que pondrán sobre ti cuerdas, y con ellas te ligarán, y no saldrás entre ellos.

But you, O son of man, behold, ropes will be put upon you and you will be bound with them, and you cannot go out among people.

26 Y haré que se pegue tu lengua a tu paladar, y estarás mudo, y para que no los reprendas, porque son casa rebelde.

And I will make your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth so that you cannot talk and be a reprover of the people, for they are a rebellious house.

27 M as cuando yo te hubiere hablado, abriré tu boca, y les dirás: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: El que oye, oiga; y el que cesa, cese; porque casa rebelde son.

But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to the people, Thus says the Lord God; he who hears, let him hear, and he who refuses to hear, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
