Ezekiel’s Call and Commission
2 “Stand up, son of man,” said the voice. “I want to speak with you.” 2 The Spirit came into me as he spoke, and he set me on my feet. I listened carefully to his words. 3 “Son of man,” he said, “I am sending you to the nation of Israel, a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me. They and their ancestors have been rebelling against me to this very day. 4 They are a stubborn and hard-hearted people. But I am sending you to say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says!’ 5 And whether they listen or refuse to listen—for remember, they are rebels—at least they will know they have had a prophet among them.
6 “Son of man, do not fear them or their words. Don’t be afraid even though their threats surround you like nettles and briers and stinging scorpions. Do not be dismayed by their dark scowls, even though they are rebels. 7 You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. But they won’t listen, for they are completely rebellious! 8 Son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not join them in their rebellion. Open your mouth, and eat what I give you.”
9 Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me. It held a scroll, 10 which he unrolled. And I saw that both sides were covered with funeral songs, words of sorrow, and pronouncements of doom.

Llamado y encargo de Ezequiel
2 «Levántate, hijo de hombre—dijo la voz—, quiero hablarte». 2 El Espíritu entró en mí mientras me hablaba y me puso de pie. Entonces escuché atentamente sus palabras. 3 «Hijo de hombre—me dijo—, te envío a la nación de Israel, un pueblo desobediente que se ha rebelado contra mí. Ellos y sus antepasados se han puesto en mi contra hasta el día de hoy. 4 Son un pueblo terco y duro de corazón. Ahora te envío a decirles: “¡Esto dice el Señor Soberano!”. 5 Ya sea que te escuchen o se nieguen a escuchar—pues recuerda que son rebeldes—, al menos sabrán que han tenido un profeta entre ellos.
6 »Hijo de hombre, no tengas miedo ni de ellos ni de sus palabras. No temas, aunque sus amenazas te rodeen como ortigas, zarzas y escorpiones venenosos. No te desanimes por sus ceños fruncidos, por muy rebeldes que ellos sean. 7 Debes darles mis mensajes, te escuchen o no. Sin embargo, no te escucharán, ¡porque son totalmente rebeldes! 8 Hijo de hombre, presta atención a lo que te digo. No seas rebelde como ellos. Abre la boca y come lo que te doy».
9 Luego miré y vi que se me acercaba una mano que sostenía un rollo, 10 el cual él abrió. Entonces vi que estaba escrito en ambos lados con cantos fúnebres, lamentos y declaraciones de condena.

Ezekiel’s Call to Be a Prophet
2 He said to me, “Son of man,[a](A) stand(B) up on your feet and I will speak to you.(C)” 2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me(D) to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
3 He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day.(E) 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn.(F) Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’(G) 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen(H)—for they are a rebellious people(I)—they will know that a prophet has been among them.(J) 6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid(K) of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns(L) are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.(M) 7 You must speak(N) my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.(O) 8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel(P) like that rebellious people;(Q) open your mouth and eat(R) what I give you.”
9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand(S) stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,(T) 10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.(U)
Footnotes
- Ezekiel 2:1 The Hebrew phrase ben adam means human being. The phrase son of man is retained as a form of address here and throughout Ezekiel because of its possible association with “Son of Man” in the New Testament.
