Ezekiel 2
1 And he said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.
Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! staa paa dine Fødder, at jeg kan tale med dig.
2 And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me.
Og der kom Aand i mig, der han talte til mig, og den rejste mig op paa mine Fødder; og jeg hørte den, der talte til mig.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even to this very day.
Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! jeg sender dig til Israels Børn, til de frafaldne Folk, som ere faldne fra mig; de og deres Fædre, de have gjort Overtrædelse imod mig indtil denne Dag.
4 For they are impudent children and stiff hearted. I do send you to them; and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD.
Og disse Børn, haarde af Ansigt og stive af Hjerte — til dem sender jeg dig; og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre:
5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house, ) yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
Og de, hvad enten de lyde eller lade være (thi de ere et genstridigt Hus), skulle dog vide, at der har været en Profet midt iblandt dem.
6 And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
Og du Menneskesøn! frygt ej for dem, og frygt ej for deres Ord; thi de ere vel Nælder og Torne for dig, og du bor hos Skorpioner, men frygt ej for deres Ord, og lad dig ej forfærde for deres Ansigt; thi de ere et genstridigt Hus.
7 And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
Og du skal tale mine Ord til dem, hvad enten de lyde eller lade være; thi de ere genstridige.
8 But you, son of man, hear what I say to you; Be not you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that I give you.
Men du Menneskesøn! hør, hvad jeg taler til dig: Vær ikke genstridig som det genstridige Hus; oplad din Mund, og æd det, som jeg giver dig.
9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, see, a roll of a book was therein;
Og jeg saa, og se, der var en Haand udrakt til mig, og se, der var en Bogrulle i den.
10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Og han udbredte den for mit Ansigt, og den var beskreven paa begge Sider, og derudi var skrevet Klagemaal og Suk og Ve.
