Ézéchiel 2
La Bible du Semeur
La mission d’Ezéchiel
2 Il me dit : Fils d’homme, tiens-toi debout, et je vais te parler.
2 Dès qu’il m’eut adressé ces mots, l’Esprit entra en moi et me fit tenir debout, et j’entendis celui qui me parlait. 3 Il me dit : Fils d’homme, je t’envoie vers les Israélites, vers cette foule de rebelles qui se sont révoltés contre moi. Jusqu’à ce jour, eux et leurs ancêtres se sont soulevés contre moi. 4 C’est vers ces gens à la tête dure et au cœur insensible que je t’envoie pour que tu leur dises : « Voici ce que déclare le Seigneur, l’Eternel. » 5 Alors, soit qu’ils écoutent, soit qu’ils refusent d’écouter – car c’est une communauté rebelle – ils sauront du moins qu’il y a un prophète au milieu d’eux.
6 Quant à toi, fils d’homme, ne les crains pas, et ne crains pas leurs paroles, bien que tu sois au milieu d’orties et de ronces et que tu habites avec des scorpions. Ne crains pas leurs paroles et ne tremble pas devant eux, car c’est une communauté rebelle. 7 Tu leur transmettras donc mes paroles, soit qu’ils écoutent, soit qu’ils refusent d’écouter à cause de leur esprit rebelle.
La vision du rouleau
8 Et toi, fils d’homme, écoute ce que je te dis : Ne sois pas toi-même rebelle comme cette communauté rebelle ; ouvre ta bouche et mange ce que je te donne.
9 Je regardai, et je vis une main tendue vers moi qui tenait le rouleau d’un livre[a]. 10 Elle le déroula devant moi : il était couvert d’inscriptions au recto et au verso[b] : c’étaient des plaintes, des lamentations et des cris de malheur.

The Sending of Ezekiel
2 Then He said to me, “Son of man, (A)stand on your feet that I may speak with you!” 2 And as He spoke to me, the (B)Spirit entered me and caused me to stand on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me. 3 Then He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have (C)rebelled against Me; (D)they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. 4 I am sending you to them who are [a](E)stiff-[b]faced and strong-hearted children, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh.’ 5 As for them, (F)whether they listen or whether they refuse—for they are a rebellious house—they will (G)know that a prophet has been among them. 6 Now as for you, son of man, (H)do not fear them and do not fear their words, though (I)thistles and briers are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house. 7 But you shall (J)speak My words to them (K)whether they listen or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.
8 “Now as for you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and (L)eat what I am giving you.” 9 Then I looked, and behold, a (M)hand was sent forth to me; and behold, a [c](N)scroll was in it. 10 Then He spread it out before me, and it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, sighing, and (O)woe.

Ezekiel 2
New International Version
Ezekiel’s Call to Be a Prophet
2 He said to me, “Son of man,[a](A) stand(B) up on your feet and I will speak to you.(C)” 2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me(D) to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
3 He said: “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day.(E) 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn.(F) Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’(G) 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen(H)—for they are a rebellious people(I)—they will know that a prophet has been among them.(J) 6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid(K) of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns(L) are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.(M) 7 You must speak(N) my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.(O) 8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel(P) like that rebellious people;(Q) open your mouth and eat(R) what I give you.”
9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand(S) stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,(T) 10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.(U)
Footnotes
- Ezekiel 2:1 The Hebrew phrase ben adam means human being. The phrase son of man is retained as a form of address here and throughout Ezekiel because of its possible association with “Son of Man” in the New Testament.
