Hezekiel 2
1 Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, tso, nànɔ tsitre, eye maƒo nu na wò.”
And he said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.
2 Esi wòƒo nu la, Gbɔgbɔ la ge ɖe menye, fɔm ɖe tsitre, eye mesee wònɔ nu ƒom nam.
And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me.
3 Egblɔ be, “Ame vi, mele ɖowòm ɖe Israelviwo gbɔ, ɖe dukɔ dzeaglã aɖe si dze aglã ɖe ŋunye la gbɔ. Woawo kple wo fofowo dze aglã ɖe ŋunye va se ɖe egbeŋkeke sia dzi.
And he said to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even to this very day.
4 Ame siwo gbɔ mele ɖowòm ɖo la nye kɔlialiatɔwo kple tosesẽtɔwo. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ la nye esi.
For they are impudent children and stiff hearted. I do send you to them; and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD.
5 Ne woɖo to wò alo womeɖo to wò o hã la, ame dzeaglãwo wonye, ke woanya be nyagblɔɖila nɔ yewo dome.
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house, ) yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
6 Eye wò la, ame vi, mègavɔ̃ woawo ŋutɔ loo alo woƒe nyawo o, togbɔ be dza kple aŋɔkawo ƒo xlã wò kpe ɖo, eye nèle ahɔ̃wo dome hã. Mègavɔ̃ nya si woagblɔ, eye mègana woado ŋɔdzi na wò o, togbɔ be wonye aglãdzelawo hã.
And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
7 Ele be nàgblɔ nye nyawo na wo ne woɖo to loo alo gbe toɖoɖo, elabena aglãdzelawo wonye.
And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8 Ke wò la, ame vi, lé to ɖe nya si gblɔm mele na wò la ŋu. Mègadze aglã abe ame dzeaglã mawo ene o; ke nu me, eye nàɖu nu si matsɔ na wò.’”
But you, son of man, hear what I say to you; Be not you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that I give you.
9 Mekpɔ nu, eye mekpɔ wodo asi aɖe ɖe gbɔnye. Agbalẽ aɖe le asi la me.
And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent to me; and, see, a roll of a book was therein;
10 Wokekee ɖe nye ŋkume. Woŋlɔ konyifanyawo, vevesenyawo kple nublanuinyawo ɖe agbalẽ la ƒe akpa eveawo.
And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
