Ezekiel 2

1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

Rekel mi je: »Človeški sin, vstani na svoja stopala in spregovoril ti bom.«

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.

Ko mi je spregovoril, je vame vstopil duh in me postavil na moja stopala, da sem slišal tistega, ki mi je spregovoril.

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.

Rekel mi je: »Človeški sin, pošiljam te k Izraelovim otrokom, k upornemu narodu, ki se je uprl zoper mene. Oni in njihovi očetje so se pregrešili zoper mene, celó do točno tega dne.

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.

Kajti predrzni otroci so in trdega srca in jaz te pošljem k njim, ti pa jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog.‹

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.

In oni, bodisi bodo slišali, bodisi se bodo zadržali (kajti uporna hiša so ), bodo vendar vedeli, da je bil med njimi prerok.

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.

Ti pa, človeški sin, se jih ne boj niti se ne boj njihovih besed, čeprav bodo s teboj osat in trnje in prebivaš med škorpijoni. Ne boj se njihovih besed niti ne bodi zaprepaden ob njihovih pogledih, čeprav so uporna hiša.

7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they [are] most rebellious.

Govoril jim boš moje besede, bodisi bodo slišali, bodisi se bodo zadržali, kajti najbolj uporni so.

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.

Toda ti, človeški sin, poslušaj, kaj ti povem: ›Ne bodi uporen kakor ta uporna hiša. Odpri svoja usta in pojej, kar ti dajem.‹«

9 And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book [was] therein;

Ko sem pogledal, glej, je bila k meni poslana roka, in glej, zvitek knjige je bil v njej

10 And he spread it before me; and it [was] written within and without: and [there was] written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

in razprostrl ga je pred menoj. Popisan je bil znotraj in zunaj in na njem so bile zapisane žalostinke, žalovanja in gorje.
