Ezekiel 2

1 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, na noge se, da s tobom govorim!”

And he said to me, Son of man, get up on your feet, so that I may say words to you.

2 OI uđe u me duh, kako mi progovori, te me podiže na noge i ja čuh glas onoga koji mi govoraše.

And at his words the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and his voice came to my ears.

3 I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, šaljem te k sinovima Izraelovim, k narodu odmetničkom što se odvrže od mene. Oni i oci njihovi griješili su protiv mene sve do dana današnjega.

And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day.

4 Šaljem te k sinovima tvrdokorna pogleda i okorjela srca. Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod!

And the children are hard and stiff-hearted; I am sending you to them: and you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord.

5 I poslušali oni ili ne poslušali - rod su odmetnički - neka znaju da je prorok među vama.

And they, if they give ear to you or if they do not give ear (for they are an uncontrolled people), will see that there has been a prophet among them.

6 A ti, sine čovječji, ne boj ih se i ne plaši se riječi njihovih: 'Trnje te okružuje i sjediš među samim skorpijama.' Ne plaši se riječi njihovih i ne boj se nimalo njihova pogleda jer oni su rod odmetnički.

And you, son of man, have no fear of them or of their words, even if sharp thorns are round you and you are living among scorpions: have no fear of their words and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.

7 Govori im moje riječi, poslušali oni ili ne poslušali, jer rod su odmetnički.

And you are to give them my words, if they give ear to you or if they do not: for they are uncontrolled.

8 A ti, sine čovječji, poslušaj što ću ti sada reći: Ne budi odmetnik kao što su oni rod odmetnički! Otvori usta i progutaj što ću ti sada dati!”

But you, son of man, give ear to what I say to you, and do not be uncontrolled like that uncontrolled people: let your mouth be open and take what I give you.

9 I pogledah, a to ruka k meni ispružena i u njoj, gle, svitak knjige.

And looking, I saw a hand stretched out to me, and I saw the roll of a book in it;

10 I razvi se knjiga preda mnom: bijaše ispisana izvana i iznutra, a u njoj napisano: “Naricanje! Jecanje! Jauk!”

And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.
