Књига пророка Језекиља 2

1 И рече ми: Сине човечји, устани на ноге да говорим с тобом.

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 your feet, and I will speak to you.

2 И уђе у ме дух кад ми проговори, и постави ме на ноге, и слушах Оног који ми говораше.

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.

3 И рече ми: Сине човечји, ја те шаљем к синовима Израиљевим, к народима одметничким, који се одметнуше мене; они и оци њихови бише ми неверни до овог дана.

And he said to me, Son of Man, I send you forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.

4 К синовима тврдог образа и упорног срца шаљем те ја, па им реци: Тако вели Господ;

And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord.

5 И послушали или не послушали, јер су дом одметнички, нека знају да је пророк био међу њима.

Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that you are a prophet in the midst of them.

6 И ти, сине човечји, не бој их се нити се бој њихових речи, што су ти упорни и као трње и живиш међу скорпијама; не бој се њихових речи и не плаши се од њих што су дом одметнички.

And you, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against you round about, and you dwell in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.

7 Него им кажи речи моје, послушали или не послушали, јер су одметници.

And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.

8 Али ти, сине човечји, слушај шта ћу ти казати, не буди непокоран као тај дом непокорни; отвори уста, и поједи шта ћу ти дати.

And you, son of man, hear him that speaks to you; be not you provoking, as the provoking house: open your mouth, and eat what I give you.

9 И погледах, а то рука пружена к мени, и гле, у њој савијена књига.

And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.

10 И разви је преда мном, и беше исписана изнутра и споља, и беше у њој написан плач и нарицање и јаох.

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.
