Ezekiel 2
1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you."
Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! staa paa dine Fødder, at 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 der kom Aand i mig, der han talte til mig, og den rejste mig op paa mine Fødder; og jeg hørte den, der talte 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.
Og han sagde til mig: Du Menneskesøn! jeg sender dig til Israels Børn, til de frafaldne Folk, som ere faldne fra mig; de og deres Fædre, de have gjort Overtrædelse imod mig indtil denne Dag.
4 The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH.'
Og disse Børn, haarde af Ansigt og stive af Hjerte — til dem sender jeg dig; og du skal sige til dem: Saa siger den Herre, Herre:
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.
Og de, hvad enten de lyde eller lade være (thi de ere et genstridigt Hus), skulle dog vide, at der har været en Profet midt 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.
Og du Menneskesøn! frygt ej for dem, og frygt ej for deres Ord; thi de ere vel Nælder og Torne for dig, og du bor hos Skorpioner, men frygt ej for deres Ord, og lad dig ej forfærde for deres Ansigt; thi de ere et genstridigt Hus.
7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
Og du skal tale mine Ord til dem, hvad enten de lyde eller lade være; thi de ere genstridige.
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."
Men du Menneskesøn! hør, hvad jeg taler til dig: Vær ikke genstridig som det genstridige Hus; oplad din Mund, og æd det, som jeg giver dig.
9 When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was in it.
Og jeg saa, og se, der var en Haand udrakt til mig, og se, der var en Bogrulle i den.
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 udbredte den for mit Ansigt, og den var beskreven paa begge Sider, og derudi var skrevet Klagemaal og Suk og Ve.
