以西结书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以西结蒙召
2 那声音对我说：“人子啊，你站起来，我要对你说话。” 2 正说的时候，耶和华的灵就进入我里面，使我站起来。我听见那声音对我说： 3 “人子啊，我派你去那背叛我的以色列人那里。他们和他们的祖先至今仍背叛我。 4 我派你到那些顽固不化的人那里，向他们宣告，‘主耶和华这样说。’ 5 不管那群叛逆的人听不听，他们都会知道有一位先知在他们当中。 6 人子啊，不要怕他们和他们的话，虽然你周围布满荆棘和毒蝎，也不要害怕。他们是一群叛逆的人，你不要怕他们的话，也不要因为他们的脸色而惊慌。 7 他们是叛逆的，不论他们听不听，你都要把我的话告诉他们。
8 “人子啊，你要听我对你说的话，不要像他们那样叛逆，要张开口吃我赐给你的。” 9 这时我看见一只手向我伸来，手中拿着书卷。 10 那只手把那书卷打开，书卷的两面都写满了哀伤、叹息、悲痛的话。
Ezequiel 2
O Livro
A chamada de Ezequiel
2 E disse-me: “Levanta-te, homem mortal, e falarei contigo!” 2 O Espírito entrou em mim, enquanto me dirigia a palavra, e pôs-me de pé: 3 “Homem mortal, vou enviar-te à nação de Israel, nação rebelde contra mim. Tanto eles como seus pais têm continuado a pecar contra mim até ao momento presente. 4 Têm um coração duro; são de carácter obstinado; mas eu envio-te junto deles para que lhes transmitas as minhas mensagens, as mensagens do Senhor Deus. 5 Quer eles as ouçam ou não, não te esqueças que são gente rebelde; pelo menos, hão de ficar a saber que tiveram um profeta no meio deles.
6 E tu, homem mortal, não tenhas medo deles; não receies as suas ameaças, ainda que façam doer e magoem como espinhos, como escorpiões. Não te assustes com as suas carrancas sombrias. Lembra-te de que são pessoas insubmissas! 7 Deverás comunicar-lhes as minhas mensagens, quer as ouçam quer não; mas não quererão ouvi-las, porque são extremamente obstinados. 8 Ouve pois, homem mortal, aquilo que te digo. Não sejas tu também contencioso. Abre a tua boca e come o que te dou!”
9 Então vi uma mão segurando um livro em forma de rolo, escrito de ambos os lados, na frente e de trás. 10 O livro foi desenrolado e reparei que estava cheio de avisos, de lamentações e condenações.
Ezekiel 2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 2
Eating of the Scroll. 1 The voice said to me: Son of man,[a] stand up! I wish to speak to you. 2 As he spoke to me, the spirit[b] entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard the one who was speaking(A) 3 say to me: Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day.(B) 4 Their children are bold of face and stubborn of heart—to them I am sending you. You shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God.(C) 5 And whether they hear or resist—they are a rebellious house—they shall know that a prophet has been among them.(D) 6 But as for you, son of man, do not fear them or their words. Do not fear, even though there are briers or thorns and you sit among scorpions.[c] Do not be afraid of their words or be terrified by their looks for they are a rebellious house.(E) 7 You must speak my words to them, whether they hear or resist, because they are rebellious.(F) 8 But you, son of man, hear me when I speak to you and do not rebel like this rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.(G)
9 (H)It was then I saw a hand stretched out to me; in it was a written scroll. 10 He unrolled it before me; it was covered with writing front and back. Written on it was: Lamentation, wailing, woe!(I)
Footnotes
- 2:1 Son of man: in Hebrew, “son/daughter of…” is a common idiom expressing affiliation in a group; in this case, “a human being.” The title is God’s habitual way of addressing the prophet throughout this book, probably used to emphasize the separation of the divine and the human.
- 2:2 The spirit: lit., wind, breath; a vital power, coming from God, which enables the prophet to hear the divine word; cf. 8:3; 11:1, 24.
- 2:6 And you sit among scorpions: the prophet must be prepared for bitter opposition.
