Ezekiel 2
1 Sinabi sa akin ng tinig, “Anak ng tao, tumayo ka at magsasalita ako sa iyo.”
This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 At dinala ako ng Espiritu habang siya ay nagsasalita sa akin at itinayo niya ako, at narinig ko siyang nagsasalita sa akin.
And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,
3 Sinabi niya sa akin, “Anak ng tao, sinusugo kita sa mga tao ng Israel, sa suwail na bansang naghimagsik laban sa akin—nagkasala sila at ng kanilang mga ninuno laban sa akin hanggang sa panahong ito!
and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.
4 Ang kanilang mga kaapu-apuhan ay may mga matitigas na mukha at mga matitigas na puso. Isinusugo kita sa kanila. At sasabihin mo sa kanila, 'Ito ang sinasabi ng Panginoong Yahweh.'
And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
5 Makinig man sila o hindi sila makikinig. Sila ay suwail na sambahayan, ngunit malalaman man lamang nila na isang propeta ang kabilang sa kanila.
Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.
6 At ikaw, anak ng tao, huwag kang matakot sa kanila o sa kanilang mga salita. Huwag kang matakot, kahit na kasama mo ang mga dawag at mga tinik, at kahit na ikaw ay namumuhay kasama ng mga alakdan. Huwag kang matakot sa kanilang mga salita o panghinaan ng loob sa kanilang mga mukha, sapagkat sila ay suwail na sambahayan.
But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.
7 Ngunit sasabihin mo sa kanila ang aking mga salita, makinig man sila o hindi, dahil sila ay napakasuwail.
Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
8 Ngunit ikaw, anak ng tao, makinig ka sa sinasabi ko sa iyo. Huwag kang maging suwail tulad ng suwail na sambahayang iyon. Buksan mo ang iyong bibig at kainin ang ibibigay ko sa iyo!”
But as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”
9 Pagkatapos, tumingin ako at isang kamay ang nag-abot sa akin, dito ay may kasulatang binalumbon.
And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
10 Inilatag niya ito sa aking harapan, nasulatan ang harap at ang likod nito, at mga panaghoy, pagluluksa, at kapighatian ang nakasulat dito.
And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.
