Ezekiel 2

1 And he said unto me, —Son of man, Stand upon thy feet, that I may, 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 Then the Spirit entered into me as soon as he spake unto me, and it caused me to stand upon my feet, —and I heard one speaking 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 am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto rebellious nations, which have rebelled against me, —they, and their fathers have transgressed against me, 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 it is unto such sons—of shameless face, and emboldened heart, that I am sending thee, —therefore shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh.

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 a perverse house, they are, shall then know that, a prophet, hath been in their midst.

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

6 But thou son of man Be not afraid of them Nor of their words, be afraid Though thorns and thistles are about thee, And amongst prickly plants, thou dost dwell, Of their words, be not afraid nor At their faces, be thou dismayed, For a perverse house, they are!

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 Thou shalt therefore speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear For perverse, they are!

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

8 Thou, therefore son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee., become not perverse like the perverse house, —open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving 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 So I looked, and lo! a hand put forth unto me, —and lo! therein a scroll;

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 on the front and the back, —and there were written thereon, lamentation and sighing, and wailing.

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