Ezekiel 2

1 This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke. And he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.

Sinabi sa akin ng tinig, “Anak ng tao, tumayo ka at magsasalita ako sa iyo.”

2 And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me,

At dinala ako ng Espiritu habang siya ay nagsasalita sa akin at itinayo niya ako, at narinig ko siyang nagsasalita sa akin.

3 And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day.

Sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak ng tao, sinusugo kita sa mga tao ng Israel, sa suwail na bansang naghimagsik laban sa akin—nagkasala sila at ng kanilang mga ninuno laban sa akin hanggang sa panahong ito!

4 And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:

Ang kanilang mga kaapu-apuhan ay may mga matitigas na mukha at mga matitigas na puso. Isinusugo kita sa kanila. At sasabihin mo sa kanila, 'Ito ang sinasabi ng Panginoong Yahweh.'

5 If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them.

Makinig man sila o hindi sila makikinig. Sila ay suwail na sambahayan, ngunit malalaman man lamang nila na isang propeta ang kabilang sa kanila.

6 And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house.

At ikaw, anak ng tao, huwag kang matakot sa kanila o sa kanilang mga salita. Huwag kang matakot, kahit na kasama mo ang mga dawag at mga tinik, at kahit na ikaw ay namumuhay kasama ng mga alakdan. Huwag kang matakot sa kanilang mga salita o panghinaan ng loob sa kanilang mga mukha, sapagkat sila ay suwail na sambahayan.

7 And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.

Ngunit sasabihin mo sa kanila ang aking mga salita, makinig man sila o hindi, dahil sila ay napakasuwail.

8 But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.

Ngunit ikaw, anak ng tao, makinig ka sa sinasabi ko sa iyo. Huwag kang maging suwail tulad ng suwail na sambahayang iyon. Buksan mo ang iyong bibig at kainin ang ibibigay ko sa iyo!”

9 And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up:

Pagkatapos, tumingin ako at isang kamay ang nag-abot sa akin, dito ay may kasulatang binalumbon.

10 and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.

Inilatag niya ito sa aking harapan, nasulatan ang harap at ang likod nito, at mga panaghoy, pagluluksa, at kapighatian ang nakasulat dito.
