< 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.
Ó sọ fún mi pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, dìde dúró lórí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ. Èmi yóò bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀.”
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,
Bí ó ṣe ń sọ̀rọ̀, ẹ̀mí sì wọ inú mi ó mú mi dúró lórí ẹsẹ̀ mi, mo sì ń gbọ́ tí ó ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀.
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.
Ó sọ pé, “Ọmọ ènìyàn, mo ń rán ọ sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, sí ọlọ̀tẹ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọ́n ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi; àwọn àti baba ńlá wọn ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi títí di òní olónìí.
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:
Àwọn ènìyàn tí mo ń rán ọ sí jẹ́ aláìgbọ́ràn àti ọlọ́kàn líle. Sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Olódùmarè wí.’
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.
Bí wọn fetísílẹ̀ tàbí wọn kò fetísílẹ̀ nítorí pé wọ́n ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ilé ni wọ́n—wọn yóò mọ̀ pé wòlíì kan wà láàrín wọn.
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.
Àti ìwọ, ọmọ ènìyàn, má ṣe bẹ̀rù wọn tàbí ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu wọn. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé òṣùṣú àti ẹ̀gún yí ọ ká, tí o sì ń gbé àárín àwọn àkéekèe. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù ohun tí wọ́n ń sọ tàbí bẹ̀rù wọn, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ìdílé ni wọ́n.
7 And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.
Ìwọ gbọdọ̀ sọ ọ̀rọ̀ mi fún wọn, bí wọ́n gbọ́ bí wọn kọ̀ láti gbọ́ torí pé ọlọ̀tẹ̀ ni wọ́n.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, ọmọ ènìyàn, gbọ́ ohun tí mo ń sọ fún ọ. Má ṣe ṣọ̀tẹ̀ bí i ti ìdílé ọlọ́tẹ̀; la ẹnu rẹ kí o sì jẹ ohun tí mo fún ọ.”
9 And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up:
Mo sì wò, mo sì rí ọwọ́ kan tí a nà sí mi. Ìwé kíká sì wà níbẹ̀,
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.
ó sì tú ìwé náà fún mi. Ní ojú àti ẹ̀yìn ìwé náà ni a kọ ìpohùnréré ẹkún, ọ̀fọ̀ àti ègún sí.
