< Ezekiel 2 >
1 He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet; then I will speak to you.”
And he said to me O son of humankind stand on feet your so I may speak you.
2 Then, as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
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.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to rebellious nations that have rebelled against me—both they and their ancestors have sinned against me up to this very day!
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.
4 Their descendants have stubborn faces and hard hearts. I am sending you to them, and you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says.'
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.
5 Either they will listen or they will not listen. They are a rebellious house, but they will at least know that a prophet has been among them.
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.
6 You, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, although you are with briers and thorns and although you live with scorpions. Do not fear their words or be dismayed by their faces, since they are a rebellious house.
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.
7 But you will speak my words to them, whether they listen or not, because they are most rebellious.
And you will speak words my to them whether they will listen and or they will refrain for [are] rebellious they.
8 But you, son of man, listen to what I am saying to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am about to give to you!”
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.
9 Then I looked, and a hand was extended out to me; in it was a written scroll.
And I saw and there! a hand [was] stretched out to me and there! [was] in it a scroll of a document.
10 He spread it out before me; it had been written on both its front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning, and woe.
And he spread out it before me and it [was] written face and back and [was] written to it lamentations and moaning and wailing.
