Yehezkiel 2
1 berkata, "Hai manusia fana, berdirilah. Aku ingin bicara dengan engkau."
And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak unto you.
2 Sewaktu suara itu kudengar, masuklah Roh Allah ke dalam diriku, dan ditegakkannya aku. Kemudian kudengar lagi suara itu mengatakan,
And the spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke unto 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 unto 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 unto this very day.
4 Mereka keras kepala dan tidak menghormati Aku. Engkau Kuutus kepada mereka untuk menyampaikan apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka,
For they are shameless children and stiff hearted. I do send you unto them; and you shall say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD.
5 entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak; yang penting, mereka harus tahu bahwa ada nabi di tengah-tengah mereka.
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 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, 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 Sampaikanlah semua pesan-Ku kepada mereka, entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak. Ingatlah bahwa mereka itu pemberontak-pemberontak.
And you shall speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8 Hai manusia fana, dengarkan apa yang Kukatakan kepadamu. Jangan ikut memberontak juga. Bukalah mulutmu dan makanlah apa yang Kuberikan kepadamu."
But you, son of man, hear what I say unto you; Be not you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that I give you.
9 Kemudian aku melihat tangan yang terulur kepadaku. Dalam tangan itu ada kitab gulungan,
And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
10 yang ditulisi pada kedua sisinya. Lalu dibukanya gulungan itu dan di situ tertulis ratapan, keluh-kesah dan rintihan.
And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
