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 to 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, that I heard him that spoke to 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 children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me: [even] 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.'

For [they are] impudent children and obstinate in heart. I send thee to them; and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

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

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house, ) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among 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, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [are] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [are] a rebellious house.

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

And thou shalt speak 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] sent to me; and lo, a roll of a book [was] in it;

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 [there was] written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
