Jezekiel 2
1 This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak to you.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, bilie ọtọ, guzo nʼụkwụ gị abụọ, nʼihi na ana m aga ịgwa gị okwu.”
2 And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.
Mmụọ ahụ banyere nʼime m mgbe ahụ ọ na-ekwu okwu, mee ka m guzo ọtọ nʼụkwụ m abụọ. Anụrụ m ka ọ gwara m okwu.
3 And he said to me, Son of Man, I send you forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, ana m eziga gị ka i jekwuru ndị Izrel, ndị bụ mba na-enupu isi, ndị nupuru isi megide m. Ha na nna nna ha enupula isi megide m, ruo ọ bụladị nʼụbọchị taa.
4 And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord.
Ndị ahụ m na-eziga gị ka i jekwuru bụ ndị isiike na ndị nnupu isi. Sị ha, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu.’
5 Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that you are a prophet in the midst of them.
Ma ha gere gị ntị, ma ha egeghị gị ntị (ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi), ihe dị mkpa bụ na ha ga-amata na onye amụma anọọla nʼetiti ha.
6 And you, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against you round about, and you dwell in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
Ma gị nwa nke mmadụ, atụla ha egwu. Ka ụjọ okwu si ha nʼọnụ ghara ịtụkwa gị. Atụla egwu, ọ bụladị ma a sị na ogwu na uke gbara gị gburugburu, ọ bụladị ma a sị na i bi nʼetiti ụmụ akpị. Ka ụjọ ghara ịtụ gị nʼihi okwu ọnụ ha, ekwekwala ka ha menye gị egwu, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi.
7 And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.
Ị ghaghị izi ha ozi m ziri gị zie ha, ma ha gere ntị ma ha egeghị ntị, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị na-enupu isi.
8 And you, son of man, hear him that speaks to you; be not you provoking, as the provoking house: open your mouth, and eat what I give you.
Ma gị, nwa nke mmadụ, gee ntị nʼihe m na-agwa gị. Enupula isi dịka ha si nupu isi. Meghee ọnụ gị taa ihe m ga-etinye gị nʼọnụ.”
9 And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.
Otu mgbe ahụ, elere m anya hụ aka e setịpụrụ, nke ji akwụkwọ a fụkọrọ afụkọ,
10 And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
nke e dekwara ihe nʼime ya, ihu na azụ ya. Aka ahụ ji ya gbasapụrụ ya mee ka m hụ ihe e dere nʼime ya. Ọ bụ okwu ịkwa akwa na iru ụjụ na ahụhụ.
