< Ezekiel 2 >
1 And he seide to me, Thou, sone of man, stonde on thi feet, and Y schal speke 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 And the spirit entride in to me, after that he spak to me, and settide me on my feet. And Y herde oon spekynge to me,
Et ingressus est in me spiritus postquam locutus est mihi, et statuit me supra pedes meos: et audivi loquentem ad me,
3 and seiynge, Sone of man, Y sende thee to the sones of Israel, to folkis apostatas, `ether goynge a bak fro feith, that yeden awei fro me; the fadris of hem braken my couenaunt til to this dai.
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 the sones ben of hard face, and of vnchastisable herte, to whiche Y sende thee. And thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord God seith these thingis;
Et filii dura facie, et indomabili corde sunt, ad quos ego mitto te: et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus:
5 if perauenture nameli thei heren, and if perauenture thei resten, for it is an hous terrynge to wraththe. And thei schulen wite, that a profete is in the myddis of hem.
Si forte vel ipsi audiant, et si forte quiescant, quoniam domus exasperans est: et scient quia propheta fuerit in medio eorum.
6 Therfore thou, sone of man, drede not hem, nether drede thou the wordis of hem; for vnbileueful men and distrieris ben with thee, and thou dwellist with scorpiouns. Drede thou not the wordis of hem, and drede thou not the faces of hem, for it is an hous terrynge to wraththe.
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 Therfor thou schalt speke my wordis to hem, if perauenture thei heren, and resten, for thei ben terreris to wraththe.
Loqueris ergo verba mea ad eos, si forte audiant, et quiescant: quoniam irritatores sunt.
8 But thou, sone of man, here what euer thingis Y schal speke to thee; and nyle thou be a terrere to wraththe, as the hows of Israel is a terrere to wraththe. Opene thi mouth, and ete what euer thingis Y yyue to 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 And Y siy, and lo! an hond was sent to me, in which a book was foldid togidere.
Et vidi, et ecce manus missa ad me, in qua erat involutus liber:
10 And he spredde abrood it bifor me, that was writun with ynne and with outforth. And lamentaciouns, and song, and wo, weren writun ther ynne.
et expandit illum coram me, qui erat scriptus intus, et foris: et scriptae erant in eo lamentationes, et carmen, et vae.
