Ezekiel 2
1 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.”
E disse-me: Filho do homem, põe-te sobre os teus pés, e falarei contigo.
2 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,
Então entrou em mim o espírito, falando ele comigo, que me pôs sobre os meus pés, e ouvi o que me falava.
3 and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me.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.
E disse-me: Filho do homem, eu te envio aos filhos de Israel, às nações rebeldes que se rebelaram contra mim; eles e seus pais prevaricaram contra mim, até este mesmo dia
4 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.’
E são filhos de semblante duro, e obstinados de coração: eu te envio a eles, e lhes dirás: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah.
5 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.
E eles, quer ouçam quer deixem de ouvir (porque eles são casa rebelde), saberão, contudo, que esteve no meio deles um profeta.
6 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.
E tu, ó filho do homem, não os temas, nem temas as suas palavras; ainda que são sarças e espinhos para contigo, e tu habites com escorpiões, não temas as suas palavras, nem te assustes com os seus rostos, porque casa rebelde são eles.
7 Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
Porém tu lhes dirás as minhas palavras, quer ouçam quer deixem de ouvir: porquanto eles são rebeldes.
8 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.”
Mas tu, ó filho do homem, ouve o que eu te falo, não sejas rebelde como a casa rebelde: abre a tua boca, e come o que eu te dou.
9 And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
Então vi, e eis que uma mão se estendia para mim, e eis que nela havia um rolo de livro.
10 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.
E estendeu-o diante de mim, e ele estava escrito por dentro e por fora: e nele estavam escritas lamentações, e suspiros e ais.
