< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
Haec visio similitudinis gloriae 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 the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake 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 a rebellious nation that hath 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, quae recesserunt a me: ipsi et patres eorum praevaricati sunt pactum meum usque ad diem hanc.
4 For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted. 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: Haec 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 briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] 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 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
Tu autem fili hominis audi quaecumque loquor ad te: et noli esse exasperans sicut domus exasperatrix est: aperi os tuum et comede quaecumque ego do tibi.
9 And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent 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 mourning, and woe.
et expandit illum coram me, qui erat scriptus intus, et foris: et scriptae erant in eo lamentationes, et carmen, et vae.
