Yehezkiel 2
1 berkata, "Hai manusia fana, berdirilah. Aku ingin bicara dengan engkau."
And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
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 to me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake with 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 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 Mereka keras kepala dan tidak menghormati Aku. Engkau Kuutus kepada mereka untuk menyampaikan apa yang Aku, TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi katakan kepada mereka,
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 entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak; yang penting, mereka harus tahu bahwa ada nabi di tengah-tengah mereka.
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 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 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 Sampaikanlah semua pesan-Ku kepada mereka, entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak. Ingatlah bahwa mereka itu pemberontak-pemberontak.
Speak thou my words to 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 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 Kemudian aku melihat tangan yang terulur kepadaku. Dalam tangan itu ada kitab gulungan,
And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and lo, a book-roll 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 therein was written lamentation and mourning and woe.
