Ezequiel 2

1 E disse-me: Filho do homem, põe-te sobre os teus pés, e falarei contigo.

This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke. And he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.

2 Então entrou em mim o espírito, falando ele comigo, que me pôs sobre os meus pés, e ouvi o que me falava.

And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me,

3 E disse-me: Filho do homem, eu te envio aos filhos de Israel, às nações rebeldes que se rebelaram contra mim; eles e seus pais prevaricaram contra mim, até este mesmo dia

And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day.

4 E são filhos de semblante duro, e obstinados de coração: eu te envio a eles, e lhes dirás: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah.

And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:

5 E eles, quer ouçam quer deixem de ouvir (porque eles são casa rebelde), saberão, contudo, que esteve no meio deles um profeta.

If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them.

6 E tu, ó filho do homem, não os temas, nem temas as suas palavras; ainda que são sarças e espinhos para contigo, e tu habites com escorpiões, não temas as suas palavras, nem te assustes com os seus rostos, porque casa rebelde são eles.

And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house.

7 Porém tu lhes dirás as minhas palavras, quer ouçam quer deixem de ouvir: porquanto eles são rebeldes.

And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.

8 Mas tu, ó filho do homem, ouve o que eu te falo, não sejas rebelde como a casa rebelde: abre a tua boca, e come o que eu te dou.

But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.

9 Então vi, e eis que uma mão se estendia para mim, e eis que nela havia um rolo de livro.

And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up:

10 E estendeu-o diante de mim, e ele estava escrito por dentro e por fora: e nele estavam escritas lamentações, e suspiros e ais.

and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.
