Ezekiel 2
1 He said to me, “You human, stand up while I speak to you.”
Haec visio similitudinis gloriae Domini. et vidi, et cecidi in faciem meam, et audivi vocem loquentis. Et dixit ad me: Fili hominis sta super pedes tuos, et loquar tecum.
2 While he spoke to me, [God’s] Spirit entered me and enabled me to stand up. Then I heard him speak to me.
Et ingressus est in me spiritus postquam locutus est mihi, et statuit me supra pedes meos: et audivi loquentem ad me,
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.
et dicentem: Fili hominis, mitto ego te ad filios Israel, ad Gentes apostatrices, quae recesserunt a me: ipsi et patres eorum praevaricati sunt pactum meum usque ad diem hanc.
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.’
Et filii dura facie, et indomabili corde sunt, ad quos ego mitto te: et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus:
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.
Si forte vel ipsi audiant, et si forte quiescant, quoniam domus exasperans est: et scient quia propheta fuerit in medio eorum.
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.
Tu ergo fili hominis ne timeas eos, neque sermones eorum metuas: quoniam increduli, et subversores sunt tecum, et cum scorpionibus habitas. verba eorum ne timeas, et vultus eorum ne formides: quia domus exasperans est.
7 Tell them my message, but do not expect them to pay attention to it, because they [very] rebellious.
Loqueris ergo verba mea ad eos, si forte audiant, et quiescant: quoniam irritatores sunt.
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.”
Tu autem fili hominis audi quaecumque loquor ad te: et noli esse exasperans sicut domus exasperatrix est: aperi os tuum et comede quaecumque ego do tibi.
9 Then, as I watched, I saw his hand that was stretched toward me. In his hand was a scroll.
Et vidi, et ecce manus missa ad me, in qua erat involutus liber:
10 He unrolled the scroll. On both sides of it were written words that expressed sorrow and mourning and words about trouble/disaster.
et expandit illum coram me, qui erat scriptus intus, et foris: et scriptae erant in eo lamentationes, et carmen, et vae.
