El mi-a zis: „Fiul omului, stai(A) în picioare şi-ţi voi vorbi!” Cum mi-a vorbit aceste cuvinte, a intrat(B) duh în mine şi m-a făcut să stau pe picioare, şi am ascultat la Cel ce-mi vorbea. El mi-a zis: „Fiul omului, te trimit la copiii lui Israel, la aceste popoare îndărătnice, care s-au răzvrătit împotriva Mea; ei şi părinţii lor(C) au păcătuit împotriva Mea până în ziua de azi. Da, copiii aceştia la care te trimit sunt neruşinaţi(D) şi cu inima împietrită. Tu să le spui: ‘Aşa vorbeşte Domnul, Dumnezeu!’ Fie(E) că vor asculta, fie că nu vor asculta – căci sunt o casă de îndărătnici – vor şti(F) totuşi că în mijlocul lor este un proroc. Tu, fiu al omului, să nu te(G) temi de ei, nici să nu te sperii de cuvintele lor şi, măcar că ei sunt nişte mărăcini(H) şi spini lângă tine şi măcar că locuieşti împreună cu nişte scorpii, totuşi nu te teme(I) de cuvintele lor şi nu te înspăimânta de feţele lor, căci sunt(J) o casă de îndărătnici. Ci să le spui(K) cuvintele Mele, fie(L) că vor asculta, fie că nu vor asculta, căci sunt nişte îndărătnici! Tu însă, fiul omului, ascultă ce-ţi spun! Nu fi îndărătnic, ca această casă de îndărătnici! Deschide-ţi gura şi mănâncă(M) ce-ţi voi da!” M-am uitat şi iată că o mână era întinsă(N) spre mine şi ţinea o carte în chip(O) de sul. 10 A desfăşurat-o înaintea mea şi era scrisă şi pe dinăuntru, şi pe dinafară; în ea erau scrise bocete, plângeri şi gemete.

Ezekiel Called to Be a Prophet

And He said to me, “Son of man, (A)stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.” Then (B)the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me. And He said to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has (C)rebelled against Me; (D)they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. (E)For they are [a]impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ (F)As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they are a (G)rebellious house—yet they (H)will know that a prophet has been among them.

“And you, son of man, (I)do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though (J)briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; (K)do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, (L)though they are a rebellious house. (M)You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and (N)eat what I give you.”

Now when I looked, there was (O)a hand stretched out to me; and behold, (P)a scroll of a book was in it. 10 Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.

Ezekiel's Call

And he said to me, (A)“Son of man,[a] (B)stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.” And as he spoke to me, (C)the Spirit entered into me and (D)set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to (E)nations of rebels, who have rebelled against me. (F)They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. The descendants also are (G)impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ And (H)whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are (I)a rebellious house) (J)they will know that a prophet has been among them. And you, son of man, (K)be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, (L)though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on (M)scorpions.[b] Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. And you shall speak my words to them, (N)whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.

“But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. (O)Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and (P)eat what I give you.” And when I looked, behold, (Q)a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, (R)a scroll of a book was in it. 10 And he spread it before me. And it had writing (S)on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.
