< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And he said to me O son of humankind stand on feet your so I may speak you.
And He said unto me: 'Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.'
2 And it came in me a spirit just when he spoke to me and it made stand up me on feet my and I heard [one who] spoke to me.
And spirit entered into me when He spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard Him that spoke unto me.
3 And he said to me O son of humankind [am] sending I you to [the] people of Israel to nations rebellious which they have rebelled against me they and ancestors their they have transgressed against me until [the] substance of the day this.
And He said unto me: 'Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious nations, that have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, even unto this very day;
4 And the children [are] stern of face and hard of heart I [am] sending you to them and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh.
and the children are brazen-faced and stiff-hearted, I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD.
5 And they whether they will listen and or they will refrain for [are] a house of rebellion they and they will know that a prophet he has been in midst of them.
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6 And you O son of humankind may not you be afraid from them and from words their may not you be afraid for nettles and thorns with you and to scorpions you [are] dwelling from words their may not you be afraid and from faces their may not you be dismayed for [are] a house of rebellion they.
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though defiers and despisers be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
7 And you will speak words my to them whether they will listen and or they will refrain for [are] rebellious they.
And thou shalt speak My words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
8 And you O son of humankind hear [that] which I [am] speaking to you may not you be rebellious like [the] house of rebellion open mouth your and eat [that] which I [am] giving to you.
And thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee: be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house; open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.'
9 And I saw and there! a hand [was] stretched out to me and there! [was] in it a scroll of a document.
And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
10 And he spread out it before me and it [was] written face and back and [was] written to it lamentations and moaning and wailing.
and He spread it before me, and it was written within and without; and there was written therein lamentations, and moaning, and woe.
