Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you."

Han sagde til mig: »Menneskesøn staa op paa dine Fødder saa jeg kan tale med dig!«

2 The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.

Og som han talede til mig, kom Aanden i mig og rejste mig paa mine Fødder, og jeg hørte ham tale til mig.

3 He said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the house of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have 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 The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.'

Og Sønnerne har stive Ansigter og haarde Hjerter; jeg sender dig til dem, og du skal sige: Saa siger den Herre HERREN!

5 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 You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

Men du, Menneskesøn frygt ikke for dem og vær ikke ræd for deres Ord, naar 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 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 tell you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which 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 When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was in it.

Og jeg skuede, og se, en Haand var udrakt imod mig, og i den laa en Bogrulle;

10 He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

og han rullede den op for mig, og der var skrevet paa den baade for og bag; og hvad der stod skrevet, var Klage, Suk og Ve.
