Yehezkiel 2
1 berkata, "Hai manusia fana, berdirilah. Aku ingin bicara dengan engkau."
He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 Sewaktu suara itu kudengar, masuklah Roh Allah ke dalam diriku, dan ditegakkannya aku. Kemudian kudengar lagi suara itu mengatakan,
The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
3 "Hai manusia fana, engkau Kuutus kepada orang-orang Israel yang memberontak melawan Aku. Mereka itu pemberontak seperti nenek moyang mereka juga.
He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even 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,
The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says.’
5 entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak; yang penting, mereka harus tahu bahwa ada nabi di tengah-tengah mereka.
They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will 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.
You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7 Sampaikanlah semua pesan-Ku kepada mereka, entah mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak. Ingatlah bahwa mereka itu pemberontak-pemberontak.
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; 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 tell you. Don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
9 Kemudian aku melihat tangan yang terulur kepadaku. Dalam tangan itu ada kitab gulungan,
When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
10 yang ditulisi pada kedua sisinya. Lalu dibukanya gulungan itu dan di situ tertulis ratapan, keluh-kesah dan rintihan.
He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
