Ezechiele 2

1 E mi disse: “Figliuol d’uomo, rizzati in piedi, e io ti parlerò”.

His appearance [was] of the likeness of the glory of YHWH, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He says to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I speak with you.”

2 E com’egli mi parlava, lo spirito entrò in me, e mi fece rizzare in piedi; e io udii colui che mi parlava.

And [the] Spirit comes into me when He has spoken to me, and causes me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is speaking to me.

3 Egli mi disse: “Figliuol d’uomo, io ti mando ai figliuoli d’Israele, a nazioni ribelli, che si son ribellate a me; essi e i loro padri si son rivoltati contro di me fino a questo giorno.

And He says to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to rebelling nations who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, to this very day.

4 A questi figliuoli dalla faccia dura e dal cuore ostinato io ti mando, e tu dirai loro: Così parla il Signore, l’Eterno.

And the sons [are] brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending you, and you have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH.

5 E sia che t’ascoltino o non t’ascoltino giacché è una casa ribelle essi sapranno che v’è un profeta in mezzo a loro.

And they—whether they hear, or whether they refrain, for they [are] a house of rebellion—have known that a prophet has been in their midst.

6 E tu, figliuol d’uomo, non aver paura di loro, né delle loro parole, giacché tu stai colle ortiche e colle spine, e abiti fra gli scorpioni; non aver paura delle loro parole, non ti sgomentare davanti a loro, poiché sono una casa ribelle.

And you, son of man, you are not afraid of them, indeed, you are not afraid of their words, for briers and thorns are with you, and you are dwelling near scorpions, you are not afraid of their words, and you are not frightened of their faces, for they [are] a house of rebellion,

7 Ma tu riferirai loro le mie parole, sia che t’ascoltino o non t’ascoltino, poiché sono ribelli.

and you have spoken My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refrain, for they [are] a rebellion.

8 E tu, figliuol d’uomo, ascolta ciò che ti dico; non esser ribelle com’è ribelle questa casa; apri la bocca, e mangia ciò che ti do”.

And you, son of man, hear that which I am speaking to you; do not be of rebellion like the house of rebellion, open your mouth and eat that which I am giving to you.”

9 Io guardai, ed ecco una mano stava stesa verso di me, la quale teneva il rotolo d’un libro;

And I look, and behold, a hand [is] sent forth to me, and behold, a roll of a scroll [is] in it,

10 ed egli lo spiegò davanti a me; era scritto di dentro e di fuori, e conteneva delle lamentazioni, de’ gemiti e dei guai.

and He spreads it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it [are] lamentations, and mourning, and woe!
