Ezekiel 2

1 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.'

Hæc visio similitudinis gloriæ Domini. Et vidi, et cecidi in faciem meam, et audivi vocem loquentis. Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis sta super pedes tuos, et loquar tecum.

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.

Et ingressus est in me Spiritus postquam locutus est mihi, et statuit me supra pedes meos: et audivi loquentem ad me,

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;

et dicentem: Fili hominis, mitto ego te ad filios Israel, ad gentes apostatrices, quæ recesserunt a me: ipsi et patres eorum prævaricati sunt pactum meum usque ad diem hanc.

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.

Et filii dura facie, et indomabili corde sunt, ad quos ego mitto te: et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:

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.

Si forte vel ipsi audiant, et si forte quiescant, quoniam domus exasperans est: et scient quia propheta fuerit in medio eorum.

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.

Tu ergo fili hominis ne timeas eos, neque sermones eorum metuas: quoniam increduli, et subversores sunt tecum, et cum scorpionibus habitas. Verba eorum ne timeas, et vultus eorum ne formides: quia domus exasperans est.

7 And thou shalt speak My words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

Loqueris ergo verba mea ad eos, si forte audiant, et quiescant: quoniam irritatores sunt.

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.'

Tu autem fili hominis audi quæcumque loquor ad te: et noli esse exasperans sicut domus exasperatrix est: aperi os tuum et comede quæcumque ego do tibi.

9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

Et vidi, et ecce manus missa ad me, in qua erat involutus liber:

10 and He spread it before me, and it was written within and without; and there was written therein lamentations, and moaning, and woe.

et expandit illum coram me, qui erat scriptus intus, et foris: et scriptæ erant in eo lamentationes, et carmen, et væ.
