Ezekiel 2

فَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قُمْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْكَ فَأَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَكَ».

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

فَدَخَلَ فِيَّ رُوحٌ لَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ مَعِي، وَأَقَامَنِي عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ فَسَمِعْتُ الْمُتَكَلِّمَ مَعِي.

And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

وَقَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَنَا مُرْسِلُكَ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أُمَّةٍ مُتَمَرِّدَةٍ قَدْ تَمَرَّدَتْ عَلَيَّ. هُمْ وَآبَاؤُهُمْ عَصَوْا عَلَيَّ إِلَى ذَاتِ هذَا الْيَوْمِ.

And he said unto 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 unto this very day.

وَالْبَنُونَ الْقُسَاةُ الْوُجُوهِ وَالصِّلاَبُ الْقُلُوبِ، أَنَا مُرْسِلُكَ إِلَيْهِمْ. فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.

For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

وَهُمْ إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَإِنِ امْتَنَعُوا، لأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ نَبِيًّا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ.

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.

أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فَلاَ تَخَفْ مِنْهُمْ، وَمِنْ كَلاَمِهِمْ لاَ تَخَفْ، لأَنَّهُمْ قَرِيسٌ وَسُلاَّءٌ لَدَيْكَ، وَأَنْتَ سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَ الْعَقَارِبِ. مِنْ كَلاَمِهِمْ لاَ تَخَفْ وَمِنْ وُجُوهِهِمْ لاَ تَرْتَعِبْ، لأَنَّهُمْ بَيْتٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

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

وَتَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُمْ بِكَلاَمِي، إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَإِنِ امْتَنَعُوا، لأَنَّهُمْ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ.

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

«وَأَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَاسْمَعْ مَا أَنَا مُكَلِّمُكَ بِهِ. لاَ تَكُنْ مُتَمَرِّدًا كَالْبَيْتِ الْمُتَمَرِّدِ. افْتَحْ فَمَكَ وَكُلْ مَا أَنَا مُعْطِيكَهُ».

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

فَنَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِيَدٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ إِلَيَّ، وَإِذَا بِدَرْجِ سِفْرٍ فِيهَا.

And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

فَنَشَرَهُ أَمَامِي وَهُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ مِنْ دَاخِل وَمِنْ قَفَاهُ، وَكُتِبَ فِيهِ مَرَاثٍ وَنَحِيبٌ وَوَيْلٌ.

And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
