¹And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

¹I reče mi: "Sine čovječji, na noge se, da s tobom govorim!"

²And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

²OI uđe u me duh, kako mi progovori, te me podiže na noge i ja čuh glas onoga koji mi govoraše.

³And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.

³I reče mi: "Sine čovječji, šaljem te k sinovima Izraelovim, k narodu odmetničkom što se odvrže od mene. Oni i oci njihovi griješili su protiv mene sve do dana današnjega.

⁴For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.

⁴Šaljem te k sinovima tvrdokorna pogleda i okorjela srca. Reci im: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod!

⁵And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

⁵I poslušali oni ili ne poslušali - rod su odmetnički - neka znaju da je prorok među vama.

⁶And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

⁶A ti, sine čovječji, ne boj ih se i ne plaši se riječi njihovih: 'Trnje te okružuje i sjediš među samim skorpijama.' Ne plaši se riječi njihovih i ne boj se nimalo njihova pogleda jer oni su rod odmetnički.

⁷And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.

⁷Govori im moje riječi, poslušali oni ili ne poslušali, jer rod su odmetnički.

⁸But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

⁸A ti, sine čovječji, poslušaj što ću ti sada reći: Ne budi odmetnik kao što su oni rod odmetnički! Otvori usta i progutaj što ću ti sada dati!"

⁹And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

⁹I pogledah, a to ruka k meni ispružena i u njoj, gle, svitak knjige.

¹⁰And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

¹⁰I razvi se knjiga preda mnom: bijaše ispisana izvana i iznutra, a u njoj napisano: "Naricanje! Jecanje! Jauk!"
