Ezekiel 2

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

He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet; then I will speak to you.”

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

Then, as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to 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.

He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to rebellious nations that have rebelled against me—both they and their ancestors have sinned against me up to 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.‹

Their descendants have stubborn faces and hard hearts. I am sending you to them, and you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says.'

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

Either they will listen or they will not listen. They are a rebellious house, but they will at least know that a prophet has 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.

You, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, although you are with briers and thorns and although you live with scorpions. Do not fear their words or be dismayed by their faces, since they are a rebellious house.

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

But you will speak my words to them, whether they listen or not, because they are most 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 you, son of man, listen to what I am saying to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am about to give to you!”

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

Then I looked, and a hand was extended out to me; in it was a written scroll.

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

He spread it out before me; it had been written on both its front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning, and woe.
