Yehezkiel 2
1 berkata, "Hai manusia fana, berdirilah. Aku ingin bicara dengan engkau."
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak to you.
2 Sewaktu suara itu kudengar, masuklah Roh Allah ke dalam diriku, dan ditegakkannya aku. Kemudian kudengar lagi suara itu mengatakan,
And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.
3 "Hai manusia fana, engkau Kuutus kepada orang-orang Israel yang memberontak melawan Aku. Mereka itu pemberontak seperti nenek moyang mereka juga.
And he said to me, Son of Man, I send you forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.
4 Mereka keras kepala dan tidak menghormati Aku. Engkau Kuutus kepada mereka untuk menyampaikan apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka,
And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord.
5 entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak; yang penting, mereka harus tahu bahwa ada nabi di tengah-tengah mereka.
Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that you are a prophet in the midst of them.
6 Tetapi engkau, hai manusia fana, janganlah takut kepada para pemberontak itu, atau kepada apa pun yang mereka katakan. Mereka akan melawan dan menghinamu, sehingga seolah-olah engkau hidup di antara kalajengking. Meskipun begitu, janganlah takut.
And you, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against you round about, and you dwell in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
7 Sampaikanlah semua pesan-Ku kepada mereka, entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak. Ingatlah bahwa mereka itu pemberontak-pemberontak.
And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.
8 Hai manusia fana, dengarkan apa yang Kukatakan kepadamu. Jangan ikut memberontak juga. Bukalah mulutmu dan makanlah apa yang Kuberikan kepadamu."
And you, son of man, hear him that speaks to you; be not you provoking, as the provoking house: open your mouth, and eat what I give you.
9 Kemudian aku melihat tangan yang terulur kepadaku. Dalam tangan itu ada kitab gulungan,
And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.
10 yang ditulisi pada kedua sisinya. Lalu dibukanya gulungan itu dan di situ tertulis ratapan, keluh-kesah dan rintihan.
And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
