Книга пророка Иезекииля 2
1 Сие видение подобие славы Господни. И видех, и падох ниц, и слышах глас Глаголющаго, и рече ко мне: сыне человечь, стани на ноги твоя, и возглаголю тебе.
“Stand up, son of man, because I want to talk to you,” he said to me.
2 И прииде на мя дух, и взя мя, и воздвиже мя, и постави мя на ногах моих, и слышах Его глаголюща ко мне.
As he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and had me stand up. I listened to him speaking to me.
3 И рече (Господь) ко мне: сыне человечь, послю тя Аз к дому Израилеву, огорчевающым Мя, иже огорчиша Мя: сами и отцы их отвергошася Мене до днешняго дне:
“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 и сынове жестоколичнии и твердосердечнии. Аз послю тя к тем, и речеши к ним: тако глаголет Адонаи Господь:
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 аще убо услышат, или убоятся, зане дом огорчеваяй есть, и познают, яко пророк еси ты посреде их.
Whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious people—they will realize that a prophet has come to them.
6 И ты, сыне человечь, да не убоишися их, ни ужасайся от лица их: зане разсверепеют и обыдут тя окрест, посреде бо скорпиев ты живеши: словес их не убойся и от лица их не ужасайся, зане дом огорчеваяй есть:
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 и возглаголеши словеса Моя к ним, аще убо услышат, или убоятся, зане дом прогневаяй есть.
Just tell them what I say, whether they listen or not, because they're rebels.
8 И ты, сыне человечь, послушай Глаголющаго к тебе, не буди огорчеваяй, якоже дом преогорчеваяй: отверзи уста твоя и снеждь, яже Аз даю тебе.
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 И видех, и се, рука простерта ко мне, и в ней свиток книжный:
I looked up and saw a hand stretched out to me holding a scroll.
10 и разви его предо мною, и в том писана быша предняя и задняя: и вписано бяше в нем рыдание и жалость и горе.
He spread it out in front of me, and there written on both the front and back were words of grief, mourning, and tragedy.
