1 Él me dijo: «¡Hombre mortal, come este rollo que te he dado! Luego ve y comunica este mensaje al pueblo de Israel».
1 He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
2 Entonces abrí la boca para comer el rollo que él me ofreció.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
3 «Cómelo todo», me dijo. Y cuando lo comí, supe que tenía el gusto dulce de la miel.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your belly and your bowels with it.” Then I ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Luego él me dijo: «Hombre mortal, yo te envío al pueblo de Israel con mis mensajes.
4 He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5 No te envío a alguna tierra extraña y distante, donde no entenderías el idioma.
5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel—
6 No, no a tribus con lenguas extrañas y difíciles que no entenderían lo que les dices. (¡Aunque si lo hiciera, ellos sí obedecerían mis mandatos!)
6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can’t understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
7 Yo te envío al pueblo de Israel, y ¡no te van a escuchar a ti, como no me han escuchado a mí! Pues todos ellos son duros y testarudos.
7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, for they will not listen to me; for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.
8 Pero mira que yo te he hecho duro y testarudo también, tanto como ellos, para que seas insistente.
8 Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
9 Yo he hecho tu frente más dura que la roca. Así que no tengas miedo de ellos, ni temas sus miradas amenazantes e iracundas, aunque sean tan rebeldes».
9 I have made your forehead as a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”
10 Luego él agregó: «Hombre mortal, deja que mis palabras penetren en lo profundo de tu propio corazón primero; medítalas tú mismo, atentamente.
10 Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, receive in your heart and hear with your ears all my words that I speak to you.
11 Luego ve a tus compatriotas en el exilio y, escuchen o no, diles: “Esto es lo que el Señor Dios dice”».
11 Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says,’ whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse.”
12 Luego el Espíritu me alzó, y la magnífica presencia del Señor comenzó a alejarse, acompañada por el sonido como de un gran terremoto al escucharse un grito que decía: «Que magnífica es la presencia del Señor cuando está en su templo».
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, “Blessed be Yahweh’s glory from his place.”
13 También el ruido de las alas de los seres vivos al tocarse entre sí era ensordecedor.
13 I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
14 El Espíritu me alzó por los aires. Yo iba lleno de amargura e ira, pero la mano del Señor me tenía agarrado con gran fuerza.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and Yahweh’s hand was strong on me.
15 Llegamos a Tel Aviv, donde estaban los israelitas deportados, junto al río Quebar. Al llegar me senté entre ellos, abrumado y atónito, durante siete días.
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv who lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
16 Al final de los siete días, el Señor me dijo:
16 At the end of seven days, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
17 «Hombre mortal, yo te he designado como un vigía sobre Israel; siempre que le envíe una advertencia a mi pueblo, transmítesela a ellos en seguida.
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
18 Si rehúsas advertir a los malos cuando yo quiero que les digas: “¡Están bajo sentencia de muerte, por lo tanto arrepiéntanse y salven sus vidas!”, ellos morirán en sus propias culpas, pero yo te culparé a ti por ello.
18 When I tell the wicked, ‘You will surely die;’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.
19 En cambio, si les adviertes y ellos siguen actuando mal, y rehúsan arrepentirse, ellos morirán en sus propias maldades, pero tú estarás sin culpa; hiciste todo lo posible.
19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.”
20 Y si un hombre bueno se vuelve malo, y tú rehúsas advertirle de las consecuencias, y el Señor lo destruye, sus obras buenas anteriores no le ayudarán; él morirá como culpable. Pero yo te tendré a ti como responsable de su muerte y te castigaré.
20 “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood at your hand.
21 Y si tú le aconsejas a un justo que se mantenga fiel en su justicia, él será libre de castigo y tú también por haber hecho lo correcto».
21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he will surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.”
22 En eso estaba cuando el Señor me habló de nuevo: «Ve al valle y allí te hablaré».
22 Yahweh’s hand was there on me; and he said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you there.”
23 Me levanté y fui al valle, y ¡vi la presencia magnífica del Señor allí, tal como la vi en mi primera visión junto al río Quebar! Y caí con el rostro hacia tierra.
23 Then I arose, and went out into the plain, and behold, Yahweh’s glory stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar. Then I fell on my face.
24 Luego el Espíritu entró en mí, me fortaleció y me puso de pie. Me dijo: «Ve y enciérrate en tu casa.
24 Then the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me, and said to me, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
25 Te adelanto que te atarán con sogas de manera que no puedas moverte.
25 But you, son of man, behold, they will put ropes on you, and will bind you with them, and you will not go out among them.
26 Yo haré que tu lengua se pegue a tu paladar para que no puedas hablar para reprenderles, pues ellos son rebeldes y tercos.
26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and will not be able to correct them, for they are a rebellious house.
27 Pero siempre que te dé un mensaje, entonces soltaré tu lengua y te dejaré hablar, y les dirás: “El Señor Dios dice”, y les comunicarás mi mensaje. ¡El que quiera escuchar, que lo haga, y el que quiera rehusar hacerlo, también! Y es que ellos son rebeldes.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
That watchman, "got out from thence," to whom it was I said, "I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel." For it was told him "If thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his way, that wicked one shall die in his iniquity, and thou shalt deliver thy soul." This if …
