Ezekiel 2

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

This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke. And he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.

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

And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me,

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 saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day.

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

And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:

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

If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of 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 thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house.

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

And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.

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 thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.

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

And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up:

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

and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.
