فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ٱبْنَ آدَمَ، قُمْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْكَ فَأَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَكَ». ١ 1
And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
فَدَخَلَ فِيَّ رُوحٌ لَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ مَعِي، وَأَقَامَنِي عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ فَسَمِعْتُ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمَ مَعِي. ٢ 2
And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto 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 unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me unto this very day;
وَٱلْبَنُونَ ٱلْقُسَاةُ ٱلْوُجُوهِ وَٱلصِّلَابُ ٱلْقُلُوبِ، أَنَا مُرْسِلُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ. فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٤ 4
and these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.
وَهُمْ إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَإِنِ ٱمْتَنَعُوا، لِأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ نَبِيًّا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ. ٥ 5
And they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall they know that there hath been a prophet among 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, be not afraid of them, and be not afraid of their words; for briars and thorns are with thee, and thou dwellest among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, and be not dismayed at their faces; for they are a rebellious house.
وَتَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُمْ بِكَلَامِي، إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَإِنِ ٱمْتَنَعُوا، لِأَنَّهُمْ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ. ٧ 7
And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.
«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 what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِيَدٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ إِلَيَّ، وَإِذَا بِدَرْجِ سِفْرٍ فِيهَا. ٩ 9
And I looked, and behold, a hand was put forth toward me; and behold, a roll of a book therein.
فَنَشَرَهُ أَمَامِي وَهُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ وَمِنْ قَفَاهُ، وَكُتِبَ فِيهِ مَرَاثٍ وَنَحِيبٌ وَوَيْلٌ. ١٠ 10
And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
