Ezekiel 2
1 He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
Firman-Nya kepadaku: "Hai anak manusia, bangunlah dan berdiri, karena Aku hendak berbicara dengan engkau."
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.
Sementara Ia berbicara dengan aku, kembalilah rohku ke dalam aku dan ditegakkannyalah aku. Kemudian aku mendengar Dia yang berbicara dengan aku.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children 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.
Firman-Nya kepadaku: "Hai anak manusia, Aku mengutus engkau kepada orang Israel, kepada bangsa pemberontak yang telah memberontak melawan Aku. Mereka dan nenek moyang mereka telah mendurhaka terhadap Aku sampai hari ini juga.
4 The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
Kepada keturunan inilah, yang keras kepala dan tegar hati, Aku mengutus engkau dan harus kaukatakan kepada mereka: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH.
5 They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
Dan baik mereka mendengarkan atau tidak--sebab mereka adalah kaum pemberontak--mereka akan mengetahui bahwa seorang nabi ada di tengah-tengah mereka.
6 You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Dan engkau, anak manusia, janganlah takut melihat mereka maupun mendengarkan kata-katanya, biarpun engkau di tengah-tengah onak dan duri dan engkau tinggal dekat kalajengking. Janganlah takut mendengarkan kata-kata mereka dan janganlah gentar melihat mukanya, sebab mereka adalah kaum pemberontak.
7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.
Sampaikanlah perkataan-perkataan-Ku kepada mereka, baik mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak, sebab mereka adalah pemberontak.
8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
Dan engkau, anak manusia, dengarlah apa yang Kufirmankan kepadamu; janganlah memberontak seperti kaum pemberontak ini. Ngangakanlah mulutmu dan makanlah apa yang Kuberikan kepadamu."
9 When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
Aku melihat, sesungguhnya ada tangan yang terulur kepadaku, dan sungguh, dipegang-Nya sebuah gulungan kitab,
10 He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
lalu dibentangkan-Nya di hadapanku. Gulungan kitab itu ditulisi timbal balik dan di sana tertulis nyanyian-nyanyian ratapan, keluh kesah dan rintihan.
