Ezekiel 2

1 Rekel mi je: »Človeški sin, vstani na svoja stopala in spregovoril ti bom.«

And he said unto me, Son of man, stand up upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.

2 Ko mi je spregovoril, je vame vstopil duh in me postavil na moja stopala, da sem slišal tistega, ki mi je spregovoril.

And a spirit entered into me as he spoke unto me, and it placed me upon my feet, and I heard him that spoke unto me.

3 Rekel mi je: »Človeški sin, pošiljam te k Izraelovim otrokom, k upornemu narodu, ki se je uprl zoper mene. Oni in njihovi očetje so se pregrešili zoper mene, celó do točno tega dne.

And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious tribes that have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even until this very day.

4 Kajti predrzni otroci so in trdega srca in jaz te pošljem k njim, ti pa jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog.‹

And the children are impudent of face, and obdurate of heart: I send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal.

5 In oni, bodisi bodo slišali, bodisi se bodo zadržali (kajti uporna hiša so ), bodo vendar vedeli, da je bil med njimi prerok.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, [for they are a rebellious family, ] shall yet know that a prophet hath been among them.

6 Ti pa, človeški sin, se jih ne boj niti se ne boj njihovih besed, čeprav bodo s teboj osat in trnje in prebivaš med škorpijoni. Ne boj se njihovih besed niti ne bodi zaprepaden ob njihovih pogledih, čeprav so uporna hiša.

And thou, son of man, —thou shalt not be afraid of them, and of their words thou shalt have no fear, though they be briers and thorns with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: of their words be not afraid, and at their presence be not dismayed; for they are a rebellious family.

7 Govoril jim boš moje besede, bodisi bodo slišali, bodisi se bodo zadržali, kajti najbolj uporni so.

And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.

8 Toda ti, človeški sin, poslušaj, kaj ti povem: ›Ne bodi uporen kakor ta uporna hiša. Odpri svoja usta in pojej, kar ti dajem.‹«

But thou, son of man, hear what I am speaking unto thee, Be not thou rebellious like this rebellious family: open thy mouth, and eat what I give unto thee.

9 Ko sem pogledal, glej, je bila k meni poslana roka, in glej, zvitek knjige je bil v njej

And then I looked, and behold, a hand was stretched out toward me; and, lo, a roll-book was therein;

10 in razprostrl ga je pred menoj. Popisan je bil znotraj in zunaj in na njem so bile zapisane žalostinke, žalovanja in gorje.

And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without: and there were written therein lamentations, and dirges, and woe.
