1 Y DIJOME: Hijo del hombre, come lo que hallares; come este rollo, y ve y habla á 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, é hízome comer aquel rollo.

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

3 Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, haz á tu vientre que coma, é hinche tus entrañas de este rollo que yo te doy. Y comílo, y fué 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 D íjome luego: Hijo del hombre, ve y entra á la casa de Israel, y habla á 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 á pueblo de habla profunda ni de lengua difícil, sino á 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 á muchos pueblos de profunda habla ni de lengua difícil, cuyas palabras no entiendas; y si á ellos te enviara, ellos te oyeran.

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 la casa de Israel no te querrán oir, porque no me quieren oír á mí: porque toda la casa de Israel son tiesos 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 los 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 díjome: Hijo del 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 á los trasportados, á los hijos de tu pueblo, y les hablarás y les dirás: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová; escuchen, ó dejen de escuchar.

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 levantóme el espíritu, y oí detrás de mí una voz de grande estruendo, que decía: Bendita sea la gloria de Jehová desde 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 O í también 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 grande 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 L evantóme pues el espíritu, y me tomó; y fuí en amargura, en la indignación de mi espíritu: mas la mano de Jehová 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 á los trasportados en Telabib, que moraban junto al río de Chebar, y asenté donde ellos estaban asentados, y allí permanecí siete días atónito 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 fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:

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

17 H ijo del hombre, yo te he puesto por atalaya á la casa de Israel: oirás pues tú la palabra de mi boca, y amonestarlos has 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 apercibido de su mal camino, á fin de que viva, el impío morirá por su maldad, 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 maldad, 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, é hiciere maldad, y pusiere yo tropiezo delante de él, él morirá, porque tú no le amonestaste; en su pecado morirá, y sus justicias que había hecho no 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 fué 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 Y fué allí la mano de Jehová sobre mí, y díjome: 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 levantéme, y salí al campo: y he aquí que allí estaba la gloria de Jehová, como la gloria que había visto junto al río de Chebar: 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 afirmóme sobre mis pies, y hablóme, y díjome: 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 del 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 se pegue tu lengua á tu paladar, y estarás mudo, y no serás á ellos varón que reprende: 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 ha dicho el Señor Jehová: 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.
