Ezekiel 2

1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand up upon thy feet, and I will speak with 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 a spirit entered into me as he spoke unto me, and it placed 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 tribes that have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even until 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 And the children are impudent of face, and obdurate of heart: I send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal.

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 family, ] shall yet know that a prophet hath been 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, —thou shalt not be afraid of them, and of their words thou shalt have no fear, though they be briers and thorns with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: of their words be not afraid, and at their presence be not dismayed; for they are a rebellious family.

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 rebellious.

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

8 But thou, son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee, Be not thou rebellious like this rebellious family: open thy mouth, and eat what I give unto 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 then I looked, and behold, a hand was stretched out toward me; and, lo, a roll-book was therein;

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

10 And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without: and there were written therein lamentations, and dirges, and woe.

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