Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, “You human, stand up while I speak to you.”

Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, está sobre tus pies, y hablaré contigo.

2 While he spoke to me, [God’s] Spirit entered me and enabled me to stand up. Then I heard him speak to me.

Y entró espíritu en mí después que me habló; y me afirmó sobre mis pies, y oí al que me hablaba.

3 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.

Y díjome: Hijo del hombre, yo te envió a los hijos de Israel, a gentes rebeldes, que se rebelaron contra mí: ellos y sus padres se rebelaron contra mí, hasta este mismo día.

4 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.’

Y a hijos duros de rostros, y fuertes de corazón yo te envío; y decirles has: Así dijo el Señor Jehová.

5 [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.

Y ellos no oirán, ni cesarán, porque son casa rebelde: mas conocerán que hubo profeta entre ellos.

6 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.

Y tú, o! hijo del hombre, no temas de ellos, ni hayas miedo de sus palabras, porque son rebeldes; y espinos viven contigo, y tu moras con abrojos: no hayas miedo de sus palabras, ni temas delante de ellos, porque son casa rebelde.

7 Tell them my message, but do not expect them to pay attention to it, because they [very] rebellious.

Hablarles has mis palabras, mas no oirán, ni cesarán, porque son rebeldes.

8 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.”

Mas tú, hijo del hombre, oye lo que yo te hablo: No seas rebelde como la casa rebelde: abre tu boca, y come lo que yo te doy.

9 Then, as I watched, I saw his hand that was stretched toward me. In his hand was a scroll.

Y miré, y, he aquí, una mano me fue enviada, y en ella había un libro envuelto.

10 He unrolled the scroll. On both sides of it were written words that expressed sorrow and mourning and words about trouble/disaster.

Y extendióle delante de mí, y estaba escrito delante y detrás; y estaban en él escritas endechas, y lamentación, y ayes.
