Ezekiel 2

1 Kinuna ti timek kaniak, “Anak ti tao, tumakderka; ket kasaritaka.”

And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.

2 Ket imbangonnak ti Espiritu ket pinatakdernak, ket nangegko a makisarsarita isuna kaniak.

And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake with me.

3 Kinunana kaniak, “Anak ti tao, ibaonka kadagiti tattao ti Israel, kadagiti nasukir a nasion a nagsukir kaniak—isuda ken dagiti kapuonanda ket nagbasol kaniak agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw!

And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious nation, that hath rebelled against me; they and their fathers have rebelled against me to this very day.

4 Makita ti kinatangsit kadagiti rupa dagiti kaputotanda ken natangken ti uloda. Ibaonka kadakuada. Ket ibagamto kadakuada, 'Kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh.'

Brazen-faced and stiff-hearted are the sons to whom I send thee. And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.

5 Dumngegda man wenno saan. Nasukirda a balay, ngem uray no kasta ket maammoandanto nga adda profeta nga immay kadakuada.

And whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are a rebellious house, yet shall they know that a prophet is in the midst of them.

6 Ket sika, anak ti tao, saanka nga agbuteng kadakuada wenno kadagiti sasaoda. Saanka nga agbuteng, uray no kasla addaka kadagiti kasisiitan ken uray no kasla makipagnanaedka kadagiti manggagama. Saanka nga agbuteng kadagiti sasaoda wenno maupay iti rupada, agsipud ta nasukirda a balay.

And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, and of their words be not afraid, though they be briers and thorns toward thee, and though thou dwell among scorpions; be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.

7 Ngem ibagamto kadakuada dagiti sasaok, dumngegda man wenno saan, gapu ta isuda dagiti kasusukiran.

Speak thou my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, for they are most rebellious.

8 Ngem sika, anak ti tao, dumngegka iti ibagbagak kenka. Saanka nga agbalin a nasukir a kas iti dayta a balay. Agngangaka ket kanem ti itedko kenka!”

But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee! Be not thou rebellious, like that rebellious house. Open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.

9 Ket kimmitaak, ket maysa nga ima ti naiyunnat kaniak; adda iggem daytoy a nalukot a pagbasaan.

And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and lo, a book-roll was therein.

10 Inukradna daytoy iti sangoanak; nasuratan ti agsumbangirna, ket pasig a dungdung-aw, ladladingit, ken as-asug ti naisurat iti daytoy.

And he spread it before me, and it was written within and without. And therein was written lamentation and mourning and woe.
