< Ezechiel 2 >

1 Kterýž řekl ke mně: Synu člověčí, postav se na nohy své, ať mluvím s tebou.
This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 I vstoupil do mne duch, když promluvil ke mně, a postavil mne na nohy mé, a slyšel jsem, an mluví ke mně.
And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,
3 Kterýž řekl mi: Synu člověčí, já tě posílám k synům Izraelským, k národům zpurným, kteříž zpurně se postavovali proti mně; oni i otcové jejich zpronevěřovali se mi, až právě do tohoto dne.
and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.
4 K těch, pravím, synům nestydaté tváři a zatvrdilého srdce já posílám tě, a díš k nim: Takto praví Panovník Hospodin,
And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
5 Již oni slyšte neb nechte: Že dům zpurný jsou. Ať vědí, že prorok byl u prostřed nich.
Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.
6 Ty pak synu člověčí, neboj se jich, aniž se boj slov jejich, že zpurní a jako trní jsou proti tobě, a že mezi štíry bydlíš. Slov jejich neboj se, a tváři jejich se nestrachuj, proto že dům zpurný jsou.
But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.
7 Ale mluv slova má k nim, již oni slyšte neb nechte: Že zpurní jsou.
Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
8 Ty pak synu člověčí, slyš, co já pravím tobě: Nebuď zpurný jako ten dům zpurný. Otevři ústa svá, a sněz, co já tobě dám.
But as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”
9 I viděl jsem, a aj, ruka vztažena byla ke mně, a aj, v ní svinutá kniha.
And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
10 Kteroužto rozvinul přede mnou, a byla popsaná s předu i z zadu, a bylo v ní psáno naříkání, kvílení a běda.
And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.
