Ezekieli 2

1 Akaniambia, “Mwanadamu, simama kwa miguu yako nami nitasema nawe.”

And he said to me O son of humankind stand on feet your so I may speak you.

2 Alipokuwa akiongea nami, Roho akanijia na kunisimamisha wima, nikamsikia akisema nami.

And it came in me a spirit just when he spoke to me and it made stand up me on feet my and I heard [one who] spoke to me.

3 Akaniambia: “Mwanadamu, ninakutuma kwa Waisraeli, kwa taifa asi ambalo limeniasi mimi, wao na baba zao wananikosea mimi hadi leo.

And he said to me O son of humankind [am] sending I you to [the] people of Israel to nations rebellious which they have rebelled against me they and ancestors their they have transgressed against me until [the] substance of the day this.

4 Watu ambao ninakutuma kwao ni wapotovu na wakaidi. Waambie, ‘Hivi ndivyo anavyosema Bwana Mwenyezi.’

And the children [are] stern of face and hard of heart I [am] sending you to them and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh.

5 Kama watasikiliza au hawatasikiliza, kwa kuwa wao ni nyumba ya kuasi, watajua nabii amekuwa miongoni mwao.

And they whether they will listen and or they will refrain for [are] a house of rebellion they and they will know that a prophet he has been in midst of them.

6 Nawe mwanadamu, usiwaogope wao wala maneno yao, usiogope, ingawa michongoma na miiba vinakuzunguka na unaishi katikati ya nge. Usiogope yale wasemayo wala usitishwe nao, ingawa wao ni nyumba ya uasi.

And you O son of humankind may not you be afraid from them and from words their may not you be afraid for nettles and thorns with you and to scorpions you [are] dwelling from words their may not you be afraid and from faces their may not you be dismayed for [are] a house of rebellion they.

7 Wewe lazima uwaambie maneno yangu, ikiwa wanasikiliza au hawasikilizi, kwa kuwa wao ni watu waasi.

And you will speak words my to them whether they will listen and or they will refrain for [are] rebellious they.

8 Lakini wewe mwanadamu, sikiliza ninalokuambia. Usiwe mwenye kuasi kama hiyo nyumba ya kuasi. Fungua kinywa chako na ule nikupacho.”

And you O son of humankind hear [that] which I [am] speaking to you may not you be rebellious like [the] house of rebellion open mouth your and eat [that] which I [am] giving to you.

9 Ndipo nikatazama, nami nikaona mkono ulionyooshwa kunielekea. Nao ulikuwa na ukurasa wa kitabu,

And I saw and there! a hand [was] stretched out to me and there! [was] in it a scroll of a document.

10 ambao aliukunjua mbele yangu. Pande zote mbili ulikuwa umeandikwa maneno ya maombolezo, vilio na ole.

And he spread out it before me and it [was] written face and back and [was] written to it lamentations and moaning and wailing.
