¹فقال لي يا ابن آدم قم على قدميك فأتكلم معك.

¹It [is] the appearance of the likeness of the honour of Jehovah, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He saith unto me, `Son of man, stand on thy feet, and I speak with thee.`

²فدخل فيّ روح لما تكلم معي واقامني على قدميّ فسمعت المتكلم معي.

²And there doth come into me a spirit, when He hath spoken unto me, and it causeth me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is speaking unto me.

³وقال لي يا ابن آدم انا مرسلك الى بني اسرائيل الى امة متمردة قد تمردت عليّ. هم وآباؤهم عصوا عليّ الى ذات هذا اليوم.

³And He saith unto Me, `Son of man, I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto nations who are rebels, who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, unto this self-same day.

⁴والبنون القساة الوجوه والصلاب القلوب انا مرسلك اليهم. فتقول لهم هكذا قال السيد الرب.

⁴And the sons [are] brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending thee, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah:

⁷وتتكلم معهم بكلامي ان سمعوا وان امتنعوا لانهم متمردون

⁷And thou hast spoken My words unto them, whether they hear or whether they forbear, for they [are] rebellious.

⁸وانت يا ابن آدم فاسمع ما انا مكلمك به. لا تكن متمردا كالبيت المتمرد. افتح فمك وكل ما انا معطيكه.

⁸`And thou, son of man, hear that which I am speaking unto thee: Thou art not rebellious like the rebellious house, open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.`

⁹فنظرت واذا بيد ممدودة اليّ واذا بدرج سفر فيها.

⁹And I look, and lo, a hand [is] sent forth unto me, and lo, in it a roll of a book,

¹⁰فنشره امامي وهو مكتوب من داخل ومن قفاه وكتب فيه مراث ونحيب وويل

¹⁰and He spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it [are] lamentations, and mourning, and wo!
