فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قُمْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْكَ فَأَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَكَ». ١ 1
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.
فَدَخَلَ فِيَّ رُوحٌ لَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ مَعِي، وَأَقَامَنِي عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ فَسَمِعْتُ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمَ مَعِي. ٢ 2
And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.
وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، أَنَا مُرْسِلُكَ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أُمَّةٍ مُتَمَرِّدَةٍ قَدْ تَمَرَّدَتْ عَلَيَّ. هُمْ وَآبَاؤُهُمْ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ إِلَى ذَاتِ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. ٣ 3
And he said to me, Son of Man, I send thee forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.
وَٱلْبَنُونَ ٱلْقُسَاةُ ٱلْوُجُوهِ وَٱلصِّلَابُ ٱلْقُلُوبِ، أَنَا مُرْسِلُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ. فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٤ 4
And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord.
وَهُمْ إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَإِنِ ٱمْتَنَعُوا، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ نَبِيًّا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ. ٥ 5
Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that thou art a prophet in the midst of them.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ فَلَا تَخَفْ مِنْهُمْ، وَمِنْ كَلَامِهِمْ لَا تَخَفْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَرِيسٌ وَسُلَّاءٌ لَدَيْكَ، وَأَنْتَ سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْعَقَارِبِ. مِنْ كَلَامِهِمْ لَا تَخَفْ وَمِنْ وُجُوهِهِمْ لَا تَرْتَعِبْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ. ٦ 6
And thou, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against thee round about, and thou dwellest in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
وَتَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُمْ بِكَلَامِي، إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَإِنِ ٱمْتَنَعُوا، لِأَنَّهُمْ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ. ٧ 7
And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.
«وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، فَٱسْمَعْ مَا أَنَا مُكَلِّمُكَ بِهِ. لَا تَكُنْ مُتَمَرِّدًا كَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمُتَمَرِّدِ. ٱفْتَحْ فَمَكَ وَكُلْ مَا أَنَا مُعْطِيكَهُ». ٨ 8
And thou, son of man, hear him that speaks to thee; be not thou provoking, as the provoking house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِيَدٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ إِلَيَّ، وَإِذَا بِدَرْجِ سِفْرٍ فِيهَا. ٩ 9
And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.
فَنَشَرَهُ أَمَامِي وَهُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ وَمِنْ قَفَاهُ، وَكُتِبَ فِيهِ مَرَاثٍ وَنَحِيبٌ وَوَيْلٌ. ١٠ 10
And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
