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 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.
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 impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
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 refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet amongst 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, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell amongst scorpions. Don’t 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 refuse; 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. Don’t 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, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book 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. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
Og han udbredte den for mit Ansigt, og den var beskreven paa begge Sider, og derudi var skrevet Klagemaal og Suk og Ve.
