Ezekiel 2

1 And he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.

I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, na noge se, da s tobom govorim!”

2 And the spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spoke to me.

OI uđe u me duh, kako mi progovori, te me podiže na noge i ja čuh glas onoga koji mi govoraše.

3 And he said to me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me: [even] to this very day.

I reče mi: “Sine čovječji, šaljem te k sinovima Izraelovim, k narodu odmetničkom što se odvrže od mene. Oni i oci njihovi griješili su protiv mene sve do dana današnjega.

4 For [they are] impudent children and obstinate in heart. I send thee to them; and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

Šaljem te k sinovima tvrdokorna pogleda i okorjela srca. Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod!

5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house, ) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

I poslušali oni ili ne poslušali - rod su odmetnički - neka znaju da je prorok među vama.

6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [are] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [are] a rebellious house.

A ti, sine čovječji, ne boj ih se i ne plaši se riječi njihovih: 'Trnje te okružuje i sjediš među samim skorpijama.' Ne plaši se riječi njihovih i ne boj se nimalo njihova pogleda jer oni su rod odmetnički.

7 And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they [are] most rebellious.

Govori im moje riječi, poslušali oni ili ne poslušali, jer rod su odmetnički.

8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say to thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee.

A ti, sine čovječji, poslušaj što ću ti sada reći: Ne budi odmetnik kao što su oni rod odmetnički! Otvori usta i progutaj što ću ti sada dati!”

9 And when I looked, behold, a hand [was] sent to me; and lo, a roll of a book [was] in it;

I pogledah, a to ruka k meni ispružena i u njoj, gle, svitak knjige.

10 And he spread it before me: and it [was] written within and without: and [there was] written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

I razvi se knjiga preda mnom: bijaše ispisana izvana i iznutra, a u njoj napisano: “Naricanje! Jecanje! Jauk!”
