Hear, O Israel!

El que quiera escucharme primero debe cerrar sus oídos al mundo, porque son tiempos ruidosos.

Whoever wants to hear Me must first close their ears to the world, because these are noisy times.

¿Por qué quieren morir en su rebelión en vez de venir al Dios de la vida?

Why do they want to die in their rebellion instead of coming to the God of life?

Pero mi pueblo huye del silencio para entretenerse. El hombre quiere saciar sus ojos y sus oídos buscando placer en sus dispositivos, pero su búsqueda es insaciable y es en vano.

But My people flee from silence to entertain themselves. Man wants to satisfy his eyes and ears by seeking pleasure on his devices, but he can never get enough, and his search is in vain.

Escúchenme a Mí y mírenme a Mí, porque solamente en la contemplación del único Dios hay plenitud.

Listen to Me and look at Me, for fullness is found only in contemplating the one God.

Mi pueblo prefiere llenar su mente con palabras de angustia, noticias de espanto, rumores ajenos, vanidades de los famosos y muchas cosas semejantes, corrompiendo su corazón, dejando que los gusanos perforen sus oídos, alimentando a los parásitos de su alma: afán sobre afán, miedo sobre miedo, espanto sobre espanto, pánico e incertidumbre ante el porvenir.

My people prefer to fill their minds with words of anguish, terrifying news, other people’s gossip, the frivolities of the famous, and many such things, corrupting their hearts, allowing worms to bore through their ears, and feeding the parasites of their souls: worry upon worry, fear upon fear, terror upon terror, panic, and uncertainty about the future.

Al que no practica el silencio no se le puede hablar, porque no sabe prestar atención.

It is impossible to speak to those who do not practice silence, because they do not know how to pay attention.

En el silencio hay poder, porque soy Yo quien se encuentra allí.

There is power in silence, because that is where I am.

Muchas de mis ovejas no le prestan atención al Pastor principal. Se distraen, se alejan y se exponen a muchos peligros hasta caer en una trampa que les causa mucho más que un simple susto.

Many of My sheep do not pay attention to the Chief Shepherd. They become distracted, wander away, and expose themselves to many dangers until they fall into a trap that does far more than merely frighten them.

En vano claman a Mí: «¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¡Me duele!», cuando ellas mismas saltaron al pozo. Enloquecidamente corrieron para alejarse de Mí, aunque les advertí, les di agua, les di pasto y fui paciente con su terquedad.

In vain they cry out to Me: “Why? Why? It hurts!” when they were the ones who jumped into the pit. They ran frantically to get away from Me, even though I warned them, gave them water, gave them pasture, and was patient with their stubbornness.

Parte de mi pueblo dice: «¡Nosotros somos de Dios!», pero en sus corazones son como una delegación que le dice al Rey: «¡No queremos que reines sobre nosotros!».

Some of My people say, “We belong to God!” but in their hearts they are like a delegation saying to the King, “We do not want You to reign over us!”

¿Hasta cuándo irán en contra de mi Santo Espíritu?

How long will they continue to oppose My Holy Spirit?

La hora está avanzada y las puertas del arca están a punto de cerrarse. Piensa, ovejita, piensa en tu propio bien. ¿Qué harás cuando venga la hora de la oscuridad?

The hour is late, and the doors of the ark are about to close. Think, little sheep—think about what is best for you. What will you do when the hour of darkness comes?

Ay de los que no lavan sus oídos con hisopo. Ay de los que porfiadamente huyen de su verdadero Amo. ¡Ay y doble ay de los que no tengan Pastor en la hora de gran angustia y temblor!

Woe to those who do not wash their ears with hyssop. Woe to those who stubbornly flee from their true Master. Woe and double woe to those who will have no Shepherd in the hour of great anguish and trembling!

Vuelvan a Mí antes de que sea demasiado tarde. Una vez más los llamo al orden divino: «¡Oye, pueblo rebelde!»

Return to Me before it is too late. Once again, I call you to divine order: “Hear, O rebellious people!”

[Deuteronomy 6:4] Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

[Psalms 46:10] Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

[Ezekiel 33:11] Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

[Ecclesiastes 1:8] All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
