Ezekiel 2

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

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

Et ingressus est in me spiritus postquam locutus est mihi, et statuit me supra pedes meos: et audivi loquentem ad me,

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.

et dicentem: Fili hominis, mitto ego te ad filios Israël, ad gentes apostatrices quæ recesserunt a me: ipsi et patres eorum prævaricati sunt pactum meum usque ad diem hanc:

4 The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.'

et filii dura facie et indomabili corde sunt, ad quos ego mitto te. Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:

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.

si forte vel ipsi audiant, et si forte quiescant, quoniam domus exasperans est: et scient quia propheta fuerit in medio eorum.

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.

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 You shall speak my words to 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 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."

Tu autem, fili hominis, audi quæcumque loquor ad te, et noli esse exasperans, sicut domus exasperatrix est: aperi os tuum, et comede quæcumque ego do tibi.

9 When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was in it.

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

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

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