< Ezequiel 2 >
1 E disse-me: Filho do homem, põe-te sobre os teus pés, e fallarei comtigo.
He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you."
2 Então entrou em mim o espirito, fallando elle comigo, que me poz sobre os meus pés, e ouvi o que me fallava.
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 E disse-me: Filho do homem, eu te envio aos filhos d'Israel, ás nações rebeldes que se rebellaram contra mim; elles e seus paes prevaricaram contra mim, até este mesmo dia
He said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the house 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 E são filhos de semblante duro, e obstinados de coração: eu te envio a elles, e lhes dirás: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah.
The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD.'
5 E elles, quer ouçam quer deixem de ouvir (porque elles são casa rebelde), saberão, comtudo, que esteve no meio d'elles um propheta.
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 E tu, ó filho do homem, não os temas, nem temas as suas palavras; ainda que são sarças e espinhos para comtigo, e tu habites com escorpiões, não temas as suas palavras, nem te assustes com os seus rostos, porque casa rebelde são elles.
You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7 Porém tu lhes dirás as minhas palavras, quer ouçam quer deixem de ouvir: porquanto elles são rebeldes.
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
8 Mas tu, ó filho do homem, ouve o que eu te fallo, não sejas rebelde como a casa rebelde: abre a tua bocca, e come o que eu te dou.
But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you."
9 Então vi, e eis que uma mão se estendia para mim, e eis que n'ella havia um rolo de livro.
When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was in it.
10 E estendeu-o diante de mim, e elle estava escripto por dentro e por fóra: e n'elle estavam escriptas lamentações, e suspiros e ais.
He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
