Ezekiel 2
1 He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, tso, nànɔ tsitre, eye maƒo nu na wò.”
2 The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
Esi wòƒo nu la, Gbɔgbɔ la ge ɖe menye, fɔm ɖe tsitre, eye mesee wònɔ nu ƒom nam.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
Egblɔ be, “Ame vi, mele ɖowòm ɖe Israelviwo gbɔ, ɖe dukɔ dzeaglã aɖe si dze aglã ɖe ŋunye la gbɔ. Woawo kple wo fofowo dze aglã ɖe ŋunye va se ɖe egbeŋkeke sia dzi.
4 The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
Ame siwo gbɔ mele ɖowòm ɖo la nye kɔlialiatɔwo kple tosesẽtɔwo. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ la nye esi.
5 They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
Ne woɖo to wò alo womeɖo to wò o hã la, ame dzeaglãwo wonye, ke woanya be nyagblɔɖila nɔ yewo dome.
6 You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Eye wò la, ame vi, mègavɔ̃ woawo ŋutɔ loo alo woƒe nyawo o, togbɔ be dza kple aŋɔkawo ƒo xlã wò kpe ɖo, eye nèle ahɔ̃wo dome hã. Mègavɔ̃ nya si woagblɔ, eye mègana woado ŋɔdzi na wò o, togbɔ be wonye aglãdzelawo hã.
7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.
Ele be nàgblɔ nye nyawo na wo ne woɖo to loo alo gbe toɖoɖo, elabena aglãdzelawo wonye.
8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
Ke wò la, ame vi, lé to ɖe nya si gblɔm mele na wò la ŋu. Mègadze aglã abe ame dzeaglã mawo ene o; ke nu me, eye nàɖu nu si matsɔ na wò.’”
9 When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
Mekpɔ nu, eye mekpɔ wodo asi aɖe ɖe gbɔnye. Agbalẽ aɖe le asi la me.
10 He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
Wokekee ɖe nye ŋkume. Woŋlɔ konyifanyawo, vevesenyawo kple nublanuinyawo ɖe agbalẽ la ƒe akpa eveawo.
