Ezekiel 2
1 And he said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.
Han sagde til mig: "Menneskesøn stå op på dine fødder så 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 som han talede til mig, kom Ånden i mig og rejste mig på mine Fødder, og jeg hørte ham tale 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.
Han sagde: "Menneskesøn! Jeg sender dig til Israeliterne, de genstridige, der har sat sig op imod mig; de og deres Fædre har forbrudt sig imod mig til den Dag i 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 Sønnerne har stive Ansigter og hårde Hjerter; jeg sender dig til dem, og du skal sige: Så siger den Herre HERREN!
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.
Hvad enten de hører eller ej - thi de er en genstridig Slægt - skal de kende, at en Profet er kommet 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.
Men du, Menneskesøn frygt ikke for dem og vær ikke ræd for deres Ord, når du færdes mellem Nælder og Tidsler og bor blandt Skorpioner; frygt ikke for deres Ord og vær ikke ræd for deres Ansigter, thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
7 And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
Du skal tale mine Ord til dem, hvad enten de hører eller ej, thi de er en genstridig Slægt.
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.
Og du, Menneskesøn, hør, hvad jeg taler til dig! Vær ikke genstridig som den genstridige Slægt, men luk din Mund op og slug, hvad jeg her 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 skuede, og se, en Hånd var udrakt imod mig, og i den lå en Bogrulle;
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 rullede den op for mig, - og der var skrevet på den både for og bag; og hvad der stod skrevet, var Klage, Suk og Ve.
