< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.'
Ọ sịrị m, “Nwa nke mmadụ, bilie ọtọ, guzo nʼụkwụ gị abụọ, nʼihi na ana m aga ịgwa gị okwu.”
2 And spirit entered into me when He spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard Him that spoke unto 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 unto me: 'Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious nations, that have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, even unto this very 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 the children are brazen-faced and stiff-hearted, I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD.
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 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among 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 thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though defiers and despisers be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious 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 thou shalt speak My words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
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 thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee: be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house; open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.'
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 when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
Otu mgbe ahụ, elere m anya hụ aka e setịpụrụ, nke ji akwụkwọ a fụkọrọ afụkọ,
10 and He spread it before me, and it was written within and without; and there was written therein lamentations, and moaning, 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.
