Ezekiel 2

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

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 when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke 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 he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even to this very day.

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

For they are impudent children and obstinate in heart. I send thee to them; 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.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house, ) yet shall know that there hath 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 thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

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

And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

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, son of man, hear what I say to thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.

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

And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, lo, a scroll was in it;

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 was written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
