Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, “You human, stand up while I speak to you.”

彼われに言たまひけるは人の子よ起あがれ我なんぢに語はんと

2 While he spoke to me, [God’s] Spirit entered me and enabled me to stand up. Then I heard him speak to me.

斯われに言給ひし時靈われにきたりて我を立あがらしむ爰に我その我に語りたまふを聞くに

3 He said, “You human, I will send you to the Israeli people. They are people who have turned away from me and rebelled against me. Their ancestors rebelled against me, and they themselves are still rebelling against me.

われに言たまひけるは人の子よ我なんぢをイスラエルの子孫に遣すすなはち我に叛ける叛逆の民につかはさん彼等とその先祖我に悖りて今日にいたる

4 The people to whom I will send you are very stubborn [DOU]. But say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you.’

その子女等は厚顏にして心の剛愎なる者なり我汝をかれらに遣す汝かれらに主ヱホバかくいふと告べし

5 [when you tell them my messages], perhaps those rebellious people will heed those messages and perhaps they will not heed them, but they will know [you are] a prophet who has been among them.

彼等は悖逆る族なり彼等は之を聽も之を拒むも預言者の己等の中にありしを知ん

6 And you human, you must not be afraid of them or afraid of what they say. [Living among them will be like] living in the midst of briers or scorpions, but do not be afraid of them. They are rebellious people [MTY], but do not allow them to cause you to become afraid.

汝人の子よたとひ薊と棘汝の周圍にあるとも亦汝蠍の中に住ともこれを懼るるなかれその言をおそるるなかれ夫かれらは悖逆る族なり汝その言をおそるるなかれ其面に慄くなかれ

7 Tell them my message, but do not expect them to pay attention to it, because they [very] rebellious.

彼等は悖逆る族なり彼らこれを聽もこれを拒むも汝吾言をかれらに告よ

8 But human, you must pay attention to what I say. Do not be rebellious like they are. [Now] open your mouth and eat what I give to you.”

人の子よわが汝に言ところを聽け汝かの悖逆る族のごとく悖るなかれ汝の口を開きてわが汝にあたふる者をくらふべし

9 Then, as I watched, I saw his hand that was stretched toward me. In his hand was a scroll.

時に我見に吾方に伸たる手ありて其中に卷物あり

10 He unrolled the scroll. On both sides of it were written words that expressed sorrow and mourning and words about trouble/disaster.

彼これをわが前に開けり卷物は裏と表に文字ありて上に嗟嘆と悲哀と憂患とを錄す
