Ezekiel 2

1 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! staa paa dine Fødder, at jeg kan tale med dig.

And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak unto you.

2 Og der kom Aand i mig, der han talte til mig, og den rejste mig op paa mine Fødder; og jeg hørte den, der talte til mig.

And the spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke unto me.

3 Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! jeg sender dig til Israels Børn, til de frafaldne Folk, som ere faldne fra mig; de og deres Fædre, de have gjort Overtrædelse imod mig indtil denne Dag.

And he said unto me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.

4 Og disse Børn, haarde af Ansigt og stive af Hjerte — til dem sender jeg dig; og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre:

For they are shameless children and stiff hearted. I do send you unto them; and you shall say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD.

5 Og de, hvad enten de lyde eller lade være (thi de ere et genstridigt Hus), skulle dog vide, at der har været en Profet midt iblandt dem.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house, ) yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.

6 Og du Menneskesøn! frygt ej for dem, og frygt ej for deres Ord; thi de ere vel Nælder og Torne for dig, og du bor hos Skorpioner, men frygt ej for deres Ord, og lad dig ej forfærde for deres Ansigt; thi de ere et genstridigt Hus.

And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

7 Og du skal tale mine Ord til dem, hvad enten de lyde eller lade være; thi de ere genstridige.

And you shall speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

8 Men du Menneskesøn! hør, hvad jeg taler til dig: Vær ikke genstridig som det genstridige Hus; oplad din Mund, og æd det, som jeg giver dig.

But you, son of man, hear what I say unto you; Be not you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that I give you.

9 Og jeg saa, og se, der var en Haand udrakt til mig, og se, der var en Bogrulle i den.

And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

10 Og han udbredte den for mit Ansigt, og den var beskreven paa begge Sider, og derudi var skrevet Klagemaal og Suk og Ve.

And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
