Yehezkiel 2
1 Firman-Nya kepadaku: "Hai anak manusia, bangunlah dan berdiri, karena Aku hendak berbicara dengan engkau."
“Stand up, son of man, because I want to talk to you,” he said to me.
2 Sementara Ia berbicara dengan aku, kembalilah rohku ke dalam aku dan ditegakkannyalah aku. Kemudian aku mendengar Dia yang berbicara dengan aku.
As he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and had me stand up. I listened to him speaking to me.
3 Firman-Nya kepadaku: "Hai anak manusia, Aku mengutus engkau kepada orang Israel, kepada bangsa pemberontak yang telah memberontak melawan Aku. Mereka dan nenek moyang mereka telah mendurhaka terhadap Aku sampai hari ini juga.
“Son of man,” he told me, “I'm sending you to the people of Israel, a disobedient nation that has rebelled against me. They and their forefathers have continued to rebel against me, even up to today.
4 Kepada keturunan inilah, yang keras kepala dan tegar hati, Aku mengutus engkau dan harus kaukatakan kepada mereka: Beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH.
They are pig-headed; they are hard-hearted children. I am sending you to tell them that this is what the Lord God says.
5 Dan baik mereka mendengarkan atau tidak--sebab mereka adalah kaum pemberontak--mereka akan mengetahui bahwa seorang nabi ada di tengah-tengah mereka.
Whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious people—they will realize that a prophet has come to them.
6 Dan engkau, anak manusia, janganlah takut melihat mereka maupun mendengarkan kata-katanya, biarpun engkau di tengah-tengah onak dan duri dan engkau tinggal dekat kalajengking. Janganlah takut mendengarkan kata-kata mereka dan janganlah gentar melihat mukanya, sebab mereka adalah kaum pemberontak.
Son of man, don't be afraid of them or what they say. You don't need to be afraid even though you're surrounded by brambles and thorns, even though you live among scorpions. Don't be afraid of what they say or be discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious family.
7 Sampaikanlah perkataan-perkataan-Ku kepada mereka, baik mereka mau mendengarkan atau tidak, sebab mereka adalah pemberontak.
Just tell them what I say, whether they listen or not, because they're rebels.
8 Dan engkau, anak manusia, dengarlah apa yang Kufirmankan kepadamu; janganlah memberontak seperti kaum pemberontak ini. Ngangakanlah mulutmu dan makanlah apa yang Kuberikan kepadamu."
As for you, son of man, pay attention to what I tell you. Don't be rebellious like those rebellious people. Open your mouth and eat what I'm about to give you.”
9 Aku melihat, sesungguhnya ada tangan yang terulur kepadaku, dan sungguh, dipegang-Nya sebuah gulungan kitab,
I looked up and saw a hand stretched out to me holding a scroll.
10 lalu dibentangkan-Nya di hadapanku. Gulungan kitab itu ditulisi timbal balik dan di sana tertulis nyanyian-nyanyian ratapan, keluh kesah dan rintihan.
He spread it out in front of me, and there written on both the front and back were words of grief, mourning, and tragedy.
