1 Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, tso, nànɔ tsitre, eye maƒo nu na wò.”
And he seide to me, Thou, sone of man, stonde on thi feet, and Y schal speke with thee.
2 Esi wòƒo nu la, Gbɔgbɔ la ge ɖe menye, fɔm ɖe tsitre, eye mesee wònɔ nu ƒom nam.

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.
4 Ame siwo gbɔ mele ɖowòm ɖo la nye kɔlialiatɔwo kple tosesẽtɔwo. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ la nye esi.
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;
5 Ne woɖo to wò alo womeɖo to wò o hã la, ame dzeaglãwo wonye, ke woanya be nyagblɔɖila nɔ yewo dome.
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.

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.
7 Ele be nàgblɔ nye nyawo na wo ne woɖo to loo alo gbe toɖoɖo, elabena aglãdzelawo wonye.
