Ezekiel 2
1 “Son of man,” He said to me, “stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.”
Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, tso, nànɔ tsitre, eye maƒo nu na wò.”
2 And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him speaking to me.
Esi wòƒo nu la, Gbɔgbɔ la ge ɖe menye, fɔm ɖe tsitre, eye mesee wònɔ nu ƒom nam.
3 “Son of man,” He said to me, “I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. To this very day they and their fathers have rebelled against Me.
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 They are obstinate and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to 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 And whether they listen or refuse to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
Ne woɖo to wò alo womeɖo to wò o hã la, ame dzeaglãwo wonye, ke woanya be nyagblɔɖila nɔ yewo dome.
6 But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns surround you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence, 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 But speak My words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.
Ele be nàgblɔ nye nyawo na wo ne woɖo to loo alo gbe toɖoɖo, elabena aglãdzelawo wonye.
8 And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what 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 Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and in it was a scroll,
Mekpɔ nu, eye mekpɔ wodo asi aɖe ɖe gbɔnye. Agbalẽ aɖe le asi la me.
10 which He unrolled before me. And written on the front and back of it were words of lamentation, mourning, and woe.
Wokekee ɖe nye ŋkume. Woŋlɔ konyifanyawo, vevesenyawo kple nublanuinyawo ɖe agbalẽ la ƒe akpa eveawo.
