Ezekiel 2 – NIRV & NAV

New International Reader’s Version

Ezekiel 2:1-10

The Lord Appoints Ezekiel to Speak for Him

1He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet. I will speak to you.” 2As he spoke, the Spirit of the Lord came into me. He raised me to my feet. I heard him speaking to me.

3He said, “Son of man, I am sending you to the people of Israel. That nation has refused to obey me. They have turned against me. They and their people of long ago have been against me to this day. 4The people I am sending you to are very stubborn. Tell them, ‘Here is what the Lord and King says.’ 5They might listen, or they might not. After all, they refuse to obey me. But whether they listen or not, they will know that a prophet was among them. 6Son of man, do not be afraid of them or of what they say. Do not be afraid, even if thorns and bushes are all around you. Do not be afraid, even if you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say. Do not be terrified by them. They always refuse to obey me. 7You must give them my message. They might listen, or they might not. After all, they refuse to obey me. 8Son of man, listen to what I tell you. Do not be like those who refuse to obey me. Open your mouth. Eat what I give you.”

9Then I looked up. I saw a hand reach out to me. A scroll was in it. 10He unrolled it in front of me. Both sides had words written on them. They spoke about sadness, sorrow and trouble.

دعوة حزقيال

1ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي: «يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، قِفْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْكَ فَأُخَاطِبَكَ». 2وَحَالَمَا تَكَلَّمَ دَخَلَ فِيَّ الرُّوحُ وَأَنْهَضَنِي عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يُخَاطِبُنِي: 3«يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، هَا أَنَا بَاعِثُكَ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أُمَّةٍ مُتَمَرِّدَةٍ عَصَتْنِي، إِذْ تَعَدَّوْا هُمْ وَآبَاؤُهُمْ عَلَيَّ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ. 4أَنَا بَاعِثُكَ إِلَى الأَبْنَاءِ الْمُتَصَلِّبِينَ الْقُسَاةِ، فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ. 5فَإِنْ سَمِعُوا، أَوْ أَبَوْا لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ عَاصٍ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ عَلَى الأَقَلِّ أَنَّ نَبِيًّا بَيْنَهُمْ. 6أَمَّا أَنْتَ، يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، فَلا تَرْهَبْهُمْ وَلا تَخْشَ كَلامَهُمْ، وَإِنْ كَانُوا لَكَ قَرِيساً وَشَوْكاً. وَأَنْتَ سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَ عَقَارِبَ، فَلا تَرْهَبْ كَلامَهُمْ، وَلا تَفْزَعْ مِنْ مَحْضَرِهِمْ لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ. 7إِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُبَلِّغَهُمْ كَلامِي سَوَاءٌ سَمِعُوا أَوْ أَبَوْا، لأَنَّهُمْ شَعْبٌ مُتَمَرِّدٌ.

8وَالآنَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، أَصْغِ لِمَا أُخَاطِبُكَ بِهِ. لَا تَكُنْ مُتَمَرِّداً مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبِ الْمُتَمَرِّدِ. افْتَحْ فَمَكَ وَكُلْ مَا أُطْعِمُكَ». 9فَنَظَرْتُ وَإذَا بِيَدٍ مُمْتَدَّةٍ إِلَيَّ، وَفِيهَا دَرْجُ كِتَابٍ. 10وَعِنْدَمَا نَشَرَهُ أَمَامِي رَأَيْتُ الْكِتَابَةَ تَمْلَؤُهُ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ وَالْخَارِجِ وَقَدْ دُوِّنَتْ فِيهِ مَرَاثٍ وَمَنَاحَاتٌ وَوَيْلاتٌ.
