Ezekiel 2
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, tso, nànɔ tsitre, eye maƒo nu na wò.”
2 And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto me.
Esi wòƒo nu la, Gbɔgbɔ la ge ɖe menye, fɔm ɖe tsitre, eye mesee wònɔ nu ƒom nam.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me unto 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 and these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall they know that there hath 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 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, and be not afraid of their words; for briars and thorns are with thee, and thou dwellest among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, and be not dismayed at their faces; for 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 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.
Ele be nàgblɔ nye nyawo na wo ne woɖo to loo alo gbe toɖoɖo, elabena aglãdzelawo wonye.
8 And thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
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 And I looked, and behold, a hand was put forth toward me; and behold, a roll of a book therein.
Mekpɔ nu, eye mekpɔ wodo asi aɖe ɖe gbɔnye. Agbalẽ aɖe le asi la me.
10 And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Wokekee ɖe nye ŋkume. Woŋlɔ konyifanyawo, vevesenyawo kple nublanuinyawo ɖe agbalẽ la ƒe akpa eveawo.
