Ang Pagtawag kay Ezekiel nga Mangin Propeta

Nagsiling ang tingog sa akon, “Tawo, tindog ka kay may isiling ako sa imo.” Sang naghambal siya sa akon gin-gamhan ako sang Espiritu kag ginpatindog. Nagpamati ako sa tingog nga nagahambal sa akon. Siling niya, “Tawo, ipadala ko ikaw sa katawhan sang Israel, sa nasyon nga nagarebelde sa akon. Ang ila mga katigulangan nagrebelde sa akon sang una, kag hasta subong nagarebelde pa sila sa akon. Mga matig-a sila sing ulo kag mga batinggilan. Ginapadala ko ikaw sa ila sa pagsugid sa ila sang mensahi nga halin sa akon, ang Ginoong Dios. Magpamati man ini nga mga rebelde ukon indi, mahibaluan nila nga may propeta gali dira sa ila. Kag ikaw nga tawo, indi ka magkahadlok sa ila. Indi ka magkahadlok bisan pa nga ang ila mga ginapanghambal masakit pareho sang tunok sang kahoy-kahoy ukon kinadtan sang iwi-iwi. Indi ka gid magkahadlok sa ila kag sa ila mga ginapanghambal. Mga rebelde gid man sila nga katawhan. Ihambal mo gid ang akon mensahi sa ila, mamati man ini nga mga rebelde ukon indi.

“Pero ikaw nga tawo, pamatii ang akon ginasiling sa imo. Indi ka magrebelde sa akon pareho sa ila. Nganga kag kauna ang akon ginahatag sa imo.” Dayon nakita ko ang isa ka kamot nga nagaduhol sa akon sang isa ka linukot nga kasulatan. 10 Ginhumlad niya ini sa akon atubangan, kag may sulat ini nga mga pulong sang pagpangasubo kag mga panalambiton sa atubang kag sa likod.

Mission to Rebellious Israel

He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet(A) and I will speak with you.” As he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet,(B) and I listened to the one who was speaking to me. He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to[a] the rebellious pagans who have rebelled against me. The Israelites and their ancestors have transgressed against me to this day.(C) The descendants are obstinate[b] and hardhearted.(D) I am sending you to them, and you must say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says.’ Whether they listen or refuse to listen(E)—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.(F)

“But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them and do not be afraid of their words,(G) even though briers and thorns are beside you and you live among scorpions.(H) Don’t be afraid of their words or discouraged by the look on their faces, for they are a rebellious house. Speak my words to them whether they listen or refuse to listen,(I) for they are rebellious.

“And you, son of man, listen to what I tell you: Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.”(J) So I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me,(K) and there was a written scroll in it.(L) 10 When he unrolled it before me, it was written on the front and back; words of lamentation, mourning, and woe were written on it.

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.
