Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”

Rekel mi je: »Človeški sin, vstani na svoja stopala in spregovoril ti bom.«

2 The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.

Ko mi je spregovoril, je vame vstopil duh in me postavil na moja stopala, da sem slišal tistega, ki mi je spregovoril.

3 He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.

Rekel mi je: »Človeški sin, pošiljam te k Izraelovim otrokom, k upornemu narodu, ki se je uprl zoper mene. Oni in njihovi očetje so se pregrešili zoper mene, celó do točno tega dne.

4 The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’

Kajti predrzni otroci so in trdega srca in jaz te pošljem k njim, ti pa jim boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod Bog.‹

5 They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.

In oni, bodisi bodo slišali, bodisi se bodo zadržali (kajti uporna hiša so ), bodo vendar vedeli, da je bil med njimi prerok.

6 You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

Ti pa, človeški sin, se jih ne boj niti se ne boj njihovih besed, čeprav bodo s teboj osat in trnje in prebivaš med škorpijoni. Ne boj se njihovih besed niti ne bodi zaprepaden ob njihovih pogledih, čeprav so uporna hiša.

7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.

Govoril jim boš moje besede, bodisi bodo slišali, bodisi se bodo zadržali, kajti najbolj uporni so.

8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”

Toda ti, človeški sin, poslušaj, kaj ti povem: ›Ne bodi uporen kakor ta uporna hiša. Odpri svoja usta in pojej, kar ti dajem.‹«

9 When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.

Ko sem pogledal, glej, je bila k meni poslana roka, in glej, zvitek knjige je bil v njej

10 He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.

in razprostrl ga je pred menoj. Popisan je bil znotraj in zunaj in na njem so bile zapisane žalostinke, žalovanja in gorje.
